  1. Just heard someone's #HotTake (tm) that the age of #AI and #LLMs will cause corporate #BugBounty programs to dramatically lose value. This will result in a surplus of highly skilled #hackers with no work or income.

    And in my mind, this sounds exactly like 18th century privateers and I'm now wondering if this will be an #AssassinsCreed title in 200 years time... 😂

  2. #HotTake Theory: #MichaelJackson was #nonbinary and into #AgeRegression, and would be a #babyfur or something if he'd been born a few decades later.

    Edit:
    I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this one.

  3. #hottake

    the term #techbro is a diversion from calling them what they REALLY are --- affluent white men continuing #eugenics practices from the early 1900s

    When you consider that #AI is a tool for implementing eugenics & take a look at the speed that #siliconvalley and all the #techbros have made #datacenters their white house ballroom (an imperial construction built on the backs of the marginalized) it makes more sense.

    Calling Elon or Zuckerberg a "tech bro" is more than a sarcastic reduction of character, it's misinformation!

  4. #HotTake: the #AppleVision / #AppleVisionPro is failing because the market for high-end #VR Headsets is already oversaturated, and virtually all other players have an established library of #apps and uses, and proven compatibility with either #SteamLink / #WiVRn or #Monado and whatever Windows uses for #PCVR. Even with the #iOS compatibility, you just don't have a reason to buy a $1000+ headset just to hold a virtual #iPad / #iPhone when you likely already own a real one, and unlike cheaper headsets it just doesn't offer many experiences that the average user is going to pay that for.

    A new headset line would take way more than #Apple seems willing to invest, especially this late in #VirtualReality #technology's cycle.

    That said, there's definitely still a market for something cheap and easy, like a "Quest Lite", something that is made to hook to a lower-end #gaming computer's GPU and run stuff like tracking and reprojection locally, but doesn't necessarily have the power for anything substantial.

    Posts wie diesen im Fediverse abzusetzten dient allenfalls der Selbstvergewisserung der eigenen Bubble. Die Botschaft lautet sinngemäß:

    WIR haben verstanden!💡
    DIE ANDEREN sind verblendete Schlafschafe.🐑

    Diese Perspektive führt immerhin, wie man sieht, zu ordentlich Aufmerksamkeit und Zuspruch. 🤷

    Zur Analyse, *warum* sich die wissenschaftliche Evidenz nicht längst in ambitioniertem Klimaschutzhandeln der gesamten Gesellschaft widerspiegelt taugt sie aus meiner Sicht nicht.

    Und weil eine korrekte Problemanalyse, die Chance auf eine funktionierende Lösung typischerweise stark vergrößert, möchte ich im Folgenden eine solche versuchen.

    Ein kleiner erkenntnistheoretischer Thread 🧵.

  10. 🚨Hot take alert!🚨 Apparently, 15 years of coding is all it takes to dismiss decades of established computer science wisdom. 🙄 Sure, let's just throw precision out the window and embrace #chaos in our calculations—who needs #accuracy when we have #clickbait titles? 🤡

  11. The worse #BG3 #hottake I saw recently was someone saying #Astarion can't be a dark romance hero because he's "effeminate and wears perfume." Um, our beloved pansexual #vampire absolutely CAN be a dark hero. Dark hero does NOT equal toxic masculinity.

  12. #FreeBSD #HotTake: Even though everyone with deeper #firewall juju than myself says #pf is better than #ipfw, so I guess it must be, I still like knowing my rules by numbers that don’t change. Plus I have tools written over many years around ipfw and would need to totally redesign them conceptually for pf. I don't have enough working years to do that.

  13. Hot gaming take: Wily Fortress 1 music from Mega Man 2 is some of the most overused tracks for mixing out there.

    I'm just nonplussed that hearing the Mega Man pack for Sonic Crossroads uses that track when there's so many other options out there. Like seriously Wily Fortress 1 and 2 from Mega Man 7 has so much depth to those tracks!

  15. In this #HotTake I will get #wild with my #thoughts on a couple of key #topics of #interest here.

    Starting with #consensual #sexuality as a whole.

    All forms of #government need to stop making #laws that prohibit how people live their lives as a #group by any #culture #background #race or #creed indeed.

    Secondly, when it comes to the topic of #gender state very clearly your #biological preference on your own terms. Let #organizations choose what those are, not arbitrarily but actually as such.

  16. In this #HotTake I explore a new #idea of #world #citizenship for everyone.

    No #passport needed, just have one #border - #life itself.

    Have a couple world laws any #region enforces about ones well being, but don't #weaponize things on that level. Leave the rest up to individual #cities to cultivate.

    This is about #respect, #culture #conservation and #human #dignity. Throughout #locations where only common ground makes decisions, rather than #laws or #empires instead.

  21. #HotTake #BlueSky will go bankrupt in 2028. And #TruthSocial will do the same. As closed source #ContentPlatforms battle entire user bases out for dominance. While pushing mass #censorship needlessly over barriers of entry for anyone, not just certain mandated filtered groups of people.

  22. #USpol #HotTake:
    If you cannot keep enough #PublicDefenders to run your #Legal system, maybe you should have less #laws that you #prosecute as #criminal offenses.

    ...just my opinion though. :blobcoffeeraccoon:

    Laws cost resources y'all. See #libertarian / #minarchist / #anarchist principles or whatever.

  23. #HotTake #2FA #codes #MultiFactor and #2FactorAuthentication centralizes what it is meant to isolate at the #app level. This is the exact same chain process of #inshitification and #IdentityVerification that targets #https as a #web #protocol at the expense of #centralized databases for #hackers to exploit.

  25. #HotTake I support #inshitification as an #idea not an #ideal and here is why. My primary reason for doing so, is that it led us to now, to build it better. By being exposed to something we couldn't, this becomes a preventable, #buyerBeware situation that gains rapid traction for a large group of people, with this as a micro culture in common.

  27. Here is my #HotTake on this issue. I have noticed that #SocialNetworks offering #decentralization such as #blueSky through #ATProto and #NOSTR as well as #X #Twitter #Threads and #TruthSocial face greater shifts in #geopolitical #change now more so than ever before. Especially as #AgeVerification and #censorship #PayWalls goes live. Which threatens #centralized #ContentPlatforms through #identity and #coding exploits. Making #ActivityPub essential for modern #communication in #2026 effectively.

    "Oh but Tessiah what do we change the letter "r" to?" - I hear one single person cry.

    And to that I say... literally just do a flick.... be all fancy.

    We should change the letter "r" to something slightly different.

    Think about it have you ever looked at "r" and "n" next to each other and thought it was an "m"?

    .. would it not help people if we collectively changed the shape of "r"? *see image*

  32. #HotTake
    "Social Media" destroyed online socializing.
    ...and it's never coming back.

    Early online chats were like a small Irish pub - cozy, quaint, with a specific menu you either liked or didn't. At any given time, you could meet the same regulars.
    If a stranger walked in, he could be family within hours if the chemistry was right.
    "Social Media" is like trying to make friends at the Oktoberfest. 🤷🏻

  33. #HotTake: changing your name is one of the highest forms of self-expression, including using multiple names, and anyone should be able to change their name at any time for any reason, even if you think the name and/or reason is stupid, and even if the name is "Manchester United".

    By the 2100s, wacky names like "Tennesee Tuxedo", "Dicksucker Jones", and "Zero" will be normalized and accepted, because people will move on from name-authoritarianism and embrace name-freedom along with morphological-freedom and clothing-freedom.

    (TLDR: the 2120s will be full of naked furries with funny names, that is my #prediction 😎 )

  34. I will court disaster and cancellation with the following opinion:

    Buck Martinez's voice is incredibly grating for the past million years and I will be happy when he retires.
