Punk rock has always been right wing. Libraries are about as far from this as they can get.

>Punk rock has always been right wing.

What???


The anti-authoritarian, anti-government, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist music genre punk rock? Always right wing?

I mean, Nazis have always been attracted to punk because they like the loud noise but are too stupid to understand lyrics, but they tend to get their shit kicked in by punks more often than not. I don't think that's the same thing.


I've seen a lot of confidently incorrect takes on this site, but "punk rock is right wing" may be the worst.

The new hot thing, which is AI took it's place. Crowding out crypto.

How can deepseek 'lean center'? If you've ever asked it about real Chinese history, you know this isn't true.

"Talking to someone who reads 20–50 good books a year is nothing like talking to someone who hasn't read a book since school made them."

Most books are outdated, before they are released.

I read well over the amount text in 20-30 books from online content/non-books.

This idea is outdated and not a good indicator of someone who reads.

AI is just a tool. It's pretty obvious it's here to stay and if you don't start embracing it, you will be left behind.


> Most books are outdated, before they are released

What an odd thing to say.


Yawn. More rewriting of history to try to remove successful cultures.

For Gen Z, the new American Dream is for other people to make money and have the government take it and pay you to do nothing, in the form of UBI.

For Gen Z the new reality is for other people to make money off your every action, squeeze you for every cent, and not be willing to pay you enough to live on no matter how hard you’re willing to work — or even to employ you at all, in favor of robots and agents. Getting worse every month.

The hope is that the government will tax the absurdly wealthy extractors and offer a UBI so that everyone else won’t have to starve in the streets or bring out the guillotines.


Developers gave their code out for free, but want to discriminate against people they don't like from using it in ways they dislike.

The 'spirit of free software' is bullshit. It's software authoritarianism disguised as a noble cause.


Even so, what's wrong with this? They told you up front that they're going to discriminate. Students can use the code freely, businesses may struggle. People don't need to be fair.

Don't use it.

I tapped out if software engineering years ago. They boot out most people past 45, and at that age, it's very difficult to get hired by anyone if you are laid off.

AI also seems to be eating these jobs first.


I suppose that means I have the right to remotely pilfer Chinse banks, businesses, and institutions. After all, extradition laws don't really apply.

Why never an inquiry of Palistine? When this happens, instead of pointing fingers or more justification for murder, I just don't care.



because it is Israel doing all the fucking mass murder of innocent people?


There is no Palestinian state. There was supposed to be, but no one talks about a two-state solution anymore (by design).


Israel is the entity committing genocide, not Palestine. I'm sorry you don't care. I do because so many of the investors and executives in our industry vocally support this genocide.
