Even More Smoll Scully And Mulder Holds Her Gently 🥺❤️

Come join linux, firefox and open source software. We should have the right to choose what we want in our machines.

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

Guess who could be suspended from college for the next four months? 🗣️ I spent all the weekend trying to save my ass but I dont think I can get out of this one lool, my parents will be mad as hell. 😂

Dont falsify documents when theres a social protest ongoing 🙄

How it feels to find a fanfic where your favorite character is going through literally the worst horrors you can imagine

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here

The X-Files, “The Red and the Black” behind the scenes featuring:

Gillian Anderson taking a phone break

Tom Braidwood in his job as assistant director, not in his role as Frohike

Jaap Broeker in his job as David Duchovny’s stand-in, not in his role as the Stupendous Yappi

lovely character. i need him to finally break down sobbing clutching his chest like it'll stop the pain crumpling to the floor begging God to either help him or let him die

An Ode to the Scientists of the X-Files

They sweep into your lab a matched pair, brandishing samples, theories, danger. You make them believe what they're seeing, produce numbers, charts, evidence like magic, forever worshipping at the altar of science, you are the brightest and most incorrigible.

You die in every episode. Your lab burns down. Your car crashes. You're stabbed or drowned or poisoned, No matter which way you're murdered, You die for science.

The duo might not remember your name. But you remember, how under your microscope You saw a little piece of the universe, and God, too.

God I hate how normalized not being in control of your own devices has become. My phone updates in the middle of the night without asking me shit or getting my consent for anything and its like "Oh hi I'm your new AI, please enjoy this forced overlay that you can't exit out of until you go through my tutorial"

"Great fuck you, I would like to uninstall you" "Oh I'm sorry you can't uninstall me! I'm a core system application and if you uninstall me your phone won't function correctly despite the fact that I did not exist yesterday and your phone worked fine" "....." "You can disable parts of my functionality but I will always be here and I will pop up notifications asking you to re-enable me unless you figure out how to disable those too! Then I will still show up in a different color at the top of your settings application telling you that you need to 'fix" a 'problem' with your phone, that problem being that I am disabled. Does that help?"

Like, you know what I can do on my desktop? "sudo pacman -Rdd linux" , this will just fucking remove the entire linux kernel. Fundamentally breaking my computer until I boot up a live disk and chroot in and reinstall it or whatever, and the computer will go "Are you sure (y/n)" or whatever and i'm like "y" and it will just go "Ok you got it boss"

But its mine, I get to do what I want with it. I control the computer, the computer does not control me. I refuse to cede control to my phone or anything else. The thing is a lot of people will joke that like "Oh I love just letting the machine tell me what to do, I don't know what I'm doing, it knows best" or whatever but the thing you have to realize is that when you say that you are abstracting away that "the phone" or whatever is not some value neutral logic driven robot like from sci-fi, it is a collection of the the capitalistic and fascistic desires of the tech oligarch fuckwits that are burning the world to the ground right now. You aren't submitting to the phone, you are submitting to Musk, Bezos, Nadella, Pichai, Cook and all those other evil bastards.

Fuck them, fuck their little AI toys, and fuck this.
