Farewell online privacy

[rinwolf1312]

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.

Nobody will ever match the raw, unfiltered power of a transfem with autism and internet access.

Like, you think AI could replicate that level of intensity? That chaos? That ability to hyperfixate on folklore creatures, learn a dead language for fun, and still cry because a girl in a video game was nice to her?

There’s a whole genre of posts on here that’s just us—neurodivergent trans girls—softly screaming into the void together. Swapping strategies for surviving sensory overload, mourning friendships that fizzled out under unspoken rules we never learned, and comforting each other in comments like,

“I literally can’t go into stores without dissociating.”

And then, inevitably, someone shows up in the replies like,

“I’m not autistic or anything, but this reminds me of how I used to cry when someone rearranged my dungeons and dragons dice.”

Like… sweetheart. You are one special interest away from joining the coven. Just kiss a cute girl who also gets overwhelmed in fluorescent lighting and admit you’ve been one of us all along. 🌈

We’ll welcome you with open arms and noise-cancelling headphones. There’s tea, there's sapphic yearning, and yes—there’s a group chat entirely dedicated to analyzing the autistic-coded vibes of cryptids and background characters. You’d fit right in. 💕

I’ll fight you as a vim user

You’re not a real Linux user until @emacs-official and @arch-official interact with your posts. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

"According to the Arch Linux wiki, over 50% of users customize their Grub menu for aesthetics. The most popular customization is changing the boot splash image."

Honey. I think. I THINK that might be sampling bias.

put in the tags if you've ever customized your grub menu for aesthetics, and wether or not you've used Arch.

My desktop? *Points to the most beige box of all time* Yeah. That’s the Banshee.

don't actually remember when i wrote this one. I found it in my drawing board doc when I was looking for ideas to build on lol

transcript under the cut

Trans Anti-Tragedy:

the narrative fucking hates us, babe,

but that’s alright. we’ll break

out, make 

a new one

burn the pages to ash. 

our stars aren’t just crossed they’re

tied up in badge-worthy knots.

fine, if that’s the way they wanna play it.

they always told us to reach for the stars so I will

and i’ll reach until I yank those bastards down.

the fault is in ourselves only in that

we took to believing in the stars. 

c’mon, get up, dust off

nurse your wounds, clean your scrapes,

cool your burns or let me do it for you.

no dying today, darlin’,

that’s the stuff of forever-tomorrow.

now’s the time for walking the train tracks and

for the whole world in your hands and a whole coconut cream pie 

in your backseat at midnight in the parking lot

pale and sweet as the moon.

fate’s a fucking coward and

I’ll tell you a secret—

she’s counting on us to do the dirty work.

self-fulfilling prophecy kinda scheme. 

it depends on us being tragic little fools with martyr complexes.

the thing about fate?

she may be a coward 

but she’s a damn good gambler.

but fuck that, y’know?

you always said you ran on spite so lets put that to the test.

there never was any sword over your head but your own, so cut it down and pick it up.

shake off the puppet strings, doll,

they were only ever cobwebs and complacency.

lets see what you do with all those gangly limbs.

no more service to the story that wants to kill us,

no more dragging ourselves raw and bloody across the pavement

crawling towards a future i’ve decided is evitable

instead we’ll swap clothes,

swap tips,

swap spit if you like,

stop building altars for them to bleed us on, 

start buying spikes,

throw away our silencers and get ourselves a bullhorn.

— r.a.b.

nothing has made me feel like an ancient grumpy crone more than the “using chatgpt for school is fine actually” sentiment among youths

Fellas how do you deal with this
