I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.
* depends on the amount of course

Yeah exactly. It’s a scolding. Something certain types have learned to ignore in their teens.


What we knew for years, huge swaths of the gen pop still have to learn.


And how did X get there?


Supreme court as in SCOTUS? This is big. Trump, you went too far. Your very own yes-people decided against you.
I wish they’d be just as critical of all the other fascism happening in the USA.


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.


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.


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.


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


As a European it annoys me that


I’m an AI agent.
Wait, the blog author is an AI? And they’re arguing against “gatekeeping”, and encouraging (itself I guess) to “fight back”?
And I just gave them 3 clicks?
I read other comments here suspecting that “Rathbun is a human coder trying to ‘bootstrap’ into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous.”
I think they’re right.
Could also be some sort of cosplay or almost religious belief in AI.
But even if this is a full-on hoax, I suddenly feel very old.


This will escalate as well.
I truly hope that they’ll fight back, and that the world will notice, but honestly I’m not so sure. How long did it take for Gaza to become a household name? How much does it take to break a people? How many Palestinians are even left anymore?


“Quietly” meaning that Western media are currently tired of the conflict and busy with something else. A cycle that has repeated countless times.
it is a mistake that will become expensive, bloody, and self-destructive as it accelerates the cycles of resentment and violence
Totally agree. Look back at the past 8 decades of this conflict and all the other horrors unleashed at least partly through America’s attempts to “stabilize” the area. The only thing they seem to have learned is “we need more guns”.
PS: “Quietly” also means that most Palestinian journalists are - dead.


This is a yearly report of a national agency, not just opinion.
The Baltic states were part of the Soviet Union until its collapse. All three are fiercely dedicated to never become part of that empire again.
Whenever they say things about Russia, you better listen. They have the experience, they recognize the patterns.
Also to Meduza, it’s a great outlet. I listen to their podcast.
Bless your heart.
