If there’s not a majority willing to step up and do whats right, then we get what we deserve.

Im tired of the idea of legislating good behaviour

If people en masse want to try to blame other people for their choices, that’s on them. Bringing the legal system into it just tells everyone “hey, dont bother being responsible for your actions” without addressing the issue: people dont give a shit about making good choices

The simple solution is for people to choose wisely with their dollars. If they choose to support shitty producers thats the problem. No need to make being assholes illegal

Those are all good questions, about the vendors the companies I buy things from, and my responsibility in their actions

Maybe I should use less products that use AWS and you could consider your impact when using large language models to publish open source software. I’m almost certain both are in fact true statements, and if you knew me, you’d know I think “should” is strong language

If you want me to make a list of the products and services I avoid? How about this: I feel guilt when I use a service or buy a thing from someone I know I shouldn’t. I try not to do it out of pure convenience, and I don’t try to defend the behavior when I fuck up

Im truly sorry you suffered the ire of those who think your use of it is both wreckless and purely conveience based, but thems the breaks when you want to cut corners, dont care if its a hobby project or youre curing cancer- we can break the planet in scales previously unimaginable with our short sighted behaviour and Im about damn tired of “but everybody else is doing it”

why not try building a community around coding and maintaing an AWS stack replacement? maybe other human beings would help you with the parts you could use some help with?

we were already in deep shit before AI and nobody

please, speak for yourself.

that is much bigger than one person

you are the one person presenting this app. defend your personal choices, and maybe take longer to consider everything said here before you do it again.

that’s often how things bigger than one person change- one person at a time

It doesnt hurt when they also use their mountains of cash and control of mass media and news production and outlets to champion voices supporting them, silence dissenting voices, stoke nationalism and xenophobia, and generally bend and warp popular culture to make fun of those who spend their time learning and doing well in school, educating themselves about history, gathering as workers, making patient, informed purchases-

the whole thing collapses when you look behind the curtain, everyone just hopes it’s not that bad, that the next big one happens after they die, and their kids can’t come knocking on their door to ask what the actual fuck were they thinking

FYI they sell one that can be reprogrammed. It’s still USB PD, but that covers most use cases.

They also sell a kit of compatable barrel jack plug adapters of many shapes and sizes.

shoutout to USAA banking app that detected my root, but just showed a warning and allowed me to continue. that’s how it ahould be imho
