I'm going to temporarily slow down on forcefemming linux users to instead forcelinux trans people. My girlfriend still uses windows. When I come over to her place I'm going to show up with an installation media and use my feminine charm to make her install linux

when tf did this get a thousand notes

it's awkward that many people clearly have a visceral dislike of LLMs as a technology and every company involved in their promotion (although less so the actual people behind their development, that's more complicated), and it compels them to find LLMs deeply immoral in every possible way, even if these critiques would apply more strongly to other technologies that pass without notice.

There is (or at least was) a reciprocal relationship between content authors and youtube/google. You let google index your site and you get traffic. And you could block them through robots.txt. for youtube there were at least semi-serious competitors like vimeo. LLMs have none of the consent or reciprocity

YouTube wouldn't have achieved its current level without pervasive copyright infringement though, and early search engines including Google were often considered to be infringing copyright by "deep linking"! some of that even had to be hashed out in the courts.

“shouldnt there be more records of trans people before” do you have any idea how much history was not recorded because it was personal and trivial and away from anything that could record it anyway?

somewhere out there is an 100 year old photo in someone’s basement of someone’s grandparent’s aunt who never married and had an adam’s apple she hid with scarves and the name written doesn’t match with the rest of the family’s names on ellis island somewhere out there a little girl tending to the chickens wishes he could grow up muscled and tanned like his dad and somewhere out there a poet who’s works will be lost when their family moves wonders if they can opt out of all gendered obligations and somewhere out there a miner wishes she could have breasts like her wife but her boss will kill her before she even hears the word transvestite and somewhere out there taller women with small chests put on loose clothes and worked for-hire jobs and died so far from where anyone knew them that whoever found him didn’t know that he had even been doing that. magnus hirshfeld’s institute was burned. a tree that falls in an empty forrest still made a sound even if we will never know

Bless people who reblog contradictory posts. Become unknowable.

fuck people who reblog posts which contradict each other. no! be explicitly clear
