This is also why horror is a dying genre. Yeah, there still needs to be ethics when creating, as in don't use real skeletons for your movie. Or don't do it in ways where it comes off as distasteful, like a guro manga that turns a true crime case into just porn.
But shit like this, where one thing is acceptable to portray but another is too far. It's horror! Horror isn't supposed to be comfortable to look at.
If gore is more acceptable than sex, then I'm just gonna assume everyone enjoying violent shit are murderers. Not for real, but call me a gooner, pedophile, sex pest, or whatever for being kinky, then by that logic they're murderers.
A few weeks back I encountered a FOSS guy here explaining that when he sees open source devs ask for money, he blocks them and then stops using their code because they're morally wrong and he only wants to work with tools made by people who are doing the work for the right reasons. (I'm paraphrasing to avoid indexing the post.)
I've resisted writing about it because I'm slammed, but the question I can't shake is: Who benefits from the ideology of "pure" volunteerism?

So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster.
How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system?
What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this?

Oooh, Linux is *finally* getting an answer to the Wine synchronization problem. I think this yak has been shaved, what, 5+ times by now over several years?
Everyone is talking about gaming, but this is also *critical* for music production with Windows VSTs. The default Wine emulation is real-time unsafe and completely unusable for this purpose.

May I suggest getting a public library card?
I access almost all paywalled material for free via PressReader using my public library.
If you live in a red state, Brooklyn Public Library offers services to victims of GOP book bans & other attacks on literate citizenship. Ditto Boston Public Library.
This always stuns me.
I have a computer and a 24" screen. I also have a phone with a 6" screen. And they try to convince me that the app (on my phone) is better?
Bwahaha is what I say to that.
I don't mind being amongst extroverts, but I'm happy to just sit by and take it in rather than participate sometimes.

Quick! Let's ship Trump off to Vietnam.

No offense but there are thousands and thousands of #Palestinians who "can't even mourn" because #Israel has obliterated them. Entire families have been wiped out by Israel. Several generations in one fell swoop.
Maybe if Israel hadn't been torturing, raping, and persecuting Palestinians for the past 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70+ years there would never have been a #Hamas.
Went into work to find this. A trap set for the queer person with the big homo flag. Stabbed myself in the wrist.
I'm............... slightly angry.
Linux: little cheeky mf commits a backdoor, gets removed before it even makes it to production it's the fucking end of the world, open source software is doomed etc etc...

Important Career Advice: Your job is NOT your family, and you don't owe your job anything beyond the work you're being paid to do.
Prioritize your own growth and well-being over misplaced loyalty, and don't feel guilty about leaving a job.
Companies are not families, they're businesses, it's a business relationship and their goal is to make money.
If they can make more money by laying you off, they will.
If you have an opportunity to better yourself, don't feel guilty about taking it.

Welcome to planet Earth. A random rock in the Universe where the most "intelligent" species only cares about trade. Trade this for that. So that the members of its species spend all of their life trading. That's all it is.
It is not about creating smarter and relaxed humans, and a nice environment for everyone. Not about exploring and learning, or enjoying. It is about trading.
Primitive species.
