Lets boycott YouTube - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Notes · Update

So YouTube has really done it. They have now implemented the AI age verification system for Americans. So then, what can we do to fight back? Everyone hates it so we should (in theory) have the power in numbers and force YouTube to revert this. The problem is that we have to act as a collective body towards this one goal. If enough people say, “this boycott will not work because too many people won’t boycott YouTube, therefore it doesn’t hurt to use YouTube despite the boycott”, then the boycott will simply fall apart.

About Me - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Notes · Pinned

Here I go again at trying to write an about me. I am Gunslinger Zach. That name isn’t really anything special, I got it while trying to think of a name and reading The Not So Wild, Wild West. I am 21 years old (born Sep 10, ‘03) I am currently attending a community college. I have an interest in gaming (though I hate the state of modern gaming) I watch some anime I have a love hate relationship with technology on one hand, it is this amazing tool that allows us to communicate with each other across the globe and do other stuff that is basically magic on the other hand, it is a major tool for tyranny, surveillance, social engineering, and isolation as a consequence of media addiction.

Happy Session Day - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Notes · Holiday

Today we celebrate the Americans seceding from the British empire. I should explain why I do this yearly tradition. Lysander Spooner explains it perfectly, The question of treason is distinct from that of slavery; and is the same that it would have been, if free States, instead of slave States, had seceded. On the part of the North, the war was carried on, not to liberate slaves, but by a government that had always perverted and violated the Constitution, to keep the slaves in bondage; and was still willing to do so, if the slaveholders could be thereby induced to stay in the Union.

Right Authoritarianism and High Time Preferance - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Notes · Politics

I’m starting to notice a tendency towards high time preference thinking in right-wing authoritarians. When they argue for authoritarianism, they will use an example of a bad (real or hypothetical) and then bring up an authoritarian state as the solution. They give no thought to the long term concenquences of such a policy. All they care is that they will get immediate gratification because they will be the victors in the current thing. Read more

New Notes - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Notes · Update

I have decided to start doing “notes”. This is inspired by Richard Stallman’s political notes. You can see them on his website. The idea is essentually the same as all microblogging social media’s except there is no clear line between a full on essay and a note. This means that if I have an idea and I want to publish it and its too long for a microblog social media but too short to be a proper essay then it can just be a note. Read more

I am leaving vultr - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Update · Notes

Louis Rossman notified me that vultr has engaged in rapey buisness practices in his new video. Since VPS’ are easily replacable, I then immediatly closed my vultr account and signed up with linode. Turns out that linode offers a better price than vultr does. So congradulations vultr, you have lost me and many other customers. Was it worth it?

I Am Going to Nuke the Microblog - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Update · Notes

So the plan of having the microblog section didn’t work out as I didn’t actually use it. So instead I am going to just use social media instead.The idea will be to have my posts on the fediverse and then put them on my website somehow. I will think of how I am going to do this and then update my website once I got a system.

Elon Broke Twitter - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Longform · Social Media · Twitter · Fedi · Fediverse · Notes

It is undeniable to anyone who uses twitter that Elon has destroyed the platform. I am not being hyperbolic. I woke up to a feed that just consisted of people complaining that they couldn’t use twitter because they exceeded their “rate limit”. After scrolling through these tweets, I eventually got rate limited myself. As of now, Twitter is basically unusable because of this. This follows the previous day where He forced any interaction to twitter to be signed in. Read more

I Dreamed About a Hedonist Dystopia - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Technology · Politics · Notes

I had two dreams last night conserning a hedonistic future that we are headed. The first one was more generically cyberpunk wpoliticshere technology is everywhere and in everything, where only very small places are car free (hence safe to walk around in) and everyone lived hedonistically. If anyone reading this is unaware of what hedonism is, essentually it is the philosophy that we as individuals should maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Read more

The Totalising Nature of Leftist Politics - - Gunslinger Zach - tags: Politics · Notes

published on january 24 2023. tag(s) politics I had the (mis?)fourtine of seeing this following story play out live on twitter. (1) To any sane person, this art is just an example of a “cutepost”, that is something cute to be looked at and then you do something else with your time. To the politically obsesed leftist however, this MUST be political. This whole “all (fill in the blank with whatever you want) is political” is a testimate to how the leftist sees things. Read more
