@verge PSA there are a few tools out there that can mass delete/edit comments. I changed my thousands of comments to a an NYT excerpt to encourage DCMA takedowns against Reddit.

I just had a conversation with a guy who said, “Yeah, well I’m a capitalist.”

So I asked, “Okay, how much capital do you have?”

Boy, oh boy, does that question put things in perspective. He became a caricature of an old Warner Brothers cartoon character, trying to compose himself as he fumbled for words, all while he avoided actually answering the question.

So I simply repeated the question. I highly recommend.

andrewfelix,
@andrewfelix@mastodon.social avatar

@martin_piper @MattMerk Capital implies having assets that contribute to income/profit. It's a great question, because it's not just about money, it's a question of control. How much of the means of production do you have? Do you have an investment property? Do you have stocks? Do you own a factory? My guess is a lot of people who call themselves capitalists are probably at the mercy of people with a lot more capital.

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.

Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.

So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.

Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

Diff view of a stack overflow question showing it being changed from the original text to a protest message, then being changed back again by a mod. Protest text reads: Why does OpenAI get to profit from our work? I have removed this question in protest of Stack Overflow's decision to partner with OpenAI. This move steals the labour of everyone who contributed to Stack Overflow with no way to opt-out. OpenAI has a history of flooding the web with inaccurate information and have explicitly stated that they will never pay creators for their work.

andrewfelix,

@mighty_orbot @ben @mighty_orbot @ben The argument isn't about profit, which is pretty clearly outlined. OpenAI's explicit and ultimate intent is to replace people and in the meantime it's spitting out garbage information.

    So as 1 in 4 military families, 1 in 6 Americans, & 1 in 9 children are food insecure—Kellogg's boasts about celebrating that insecurity & advertises "cereal for dinner."

    Fake LastPass app sneaks past Apple's review team.

    This is a rare occurrence in Apple's walled garden hence it being newsworthy. In Android I get people at work asking me "which blah app" all the time due to the number of imposters.

    I don’t know if it’s true that most people get more conservative as they get older, but in my case, I’m very much more left-leaning than I was earlier in my life. For those who get more conservative, I think it’s probably because they’ve shut down their ability to feel things deeply.

    @Green_Footballs I’ve grown ideologically more radical. But I’ve got kids so there’s bigger consequences if I throw Molotov cocktails at coal trains now.
