😭

Yes, even technically the photo is pretty bad.

basically free

What does that mean?

as long as git clone works

Granted, I still use code form github.

But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.

And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.

Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won’t be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn’t make us prophets.

Thought experiment: near 100% of facebook users are such bots. Watch them interact with each other unfettered and see where it mutates.

Bonus interview with the one real facebook user left.

Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but also a precise depiction of what’s going to happen a decade later.

I missed some piece of news in the past years - how come Russia uses Starlink? WTF Musk? Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?

Anyhow, this seems like a perfect entrypoint for people abroad who want to help Ukraine stay independent.

Since the October 10 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the organization says, ”MSF teams have reported a pattern of unacceptable acts, including the presence of armed men, intimidation, arbitrary arrests of patients, and a recent situation of suspicion of movement of weapons.” Last month, Israel ordered MSF and 30 other international organizations to cease operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank if they did not agree to new rules that include sharing information about staff. MSF says it did not submit a list of its staffers in Gaza since Israel could not guarantee their safety.

MSF = Doctors Without Borders

Of course actually killing and maiming people is worse, but this is proof that it’s systematic.

I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.

Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.

I’m sure he meant “…over the Epstein files”

Not only her. The infighting became very apparent at some point before the '24 election when it looked like The Don might have to go to prison, or otherwise be unable to run. For a few weeks, they were all at each other’s throats.

And it’s getting hotter under the surface as Trump is getting too frail/senile to govern.

Hmm. I thought Republicans Against Trump were a serious account, but can’t find evidence of that right now. Well, at least Republican Voters Against Trump are real.

In any case, I have no trouble believing what the headline says.

Plus the irony of criticizing others for utilizing FOSS.

Also, Google criticizing others for using FOSS is the height of irony. But one that tracks very well with what they did to FOSS.

I didn’t mean it that way at all.

I meant that, to an unobserving and exceptionally dumb attendee, these parties could appear as “just parties” - or at least provide them with plausible deniality along these lines.

I have edited my previous comment to make that clearer.

Exactly. No MAGA cares about contempt charges; quite the opposite, they’d wear it like a badge of honor.

But still, one has to start somewhere. Or everywhere at the same time.

I had a thought about this whole pedo island thing. Maybe this was obvious to just about everybody else, but yeah:

The underage girls were just there at these parties. All the time. People didn’t necessarily come specifically because of them (or at least it appeared that way). But it was all very obvious: for many attendees, the main attraction is sexual abuse, and these girls are clearly younger than 18. Maybe a man would look at one of them and they’d disappear somewhere, whether that was planned beforehand or not. You don’t need to be a genius to understand what’s going on here.

This would mean that nobody who even went to one of these parties was innocent. At the very least, they were condoning what was happening. Pretending that these were just super cool VIP parties, whaddoyou mean pedophilia?

And of course the vast majority of them are lying about it now, as they probably did for decades.

But Epstein wasn’t quite careful enough wrt plausible deniability.

Anyhoo, the fact that the files still aren’t fully released and instead being used to keep people busy while the admin is dismantling democracy, needs to end.

IIRC this admin explicitely gives AI stuff a free pass for the next ten years.

As a European it annoys me that

• the EU is dead set to “not be left behind” wrt AI
• the main reason the US are ahead is because of shit like this

🤔 I see more choices, e.g. violent painful shutdown.
