I don’t think these big software companies considered laying off all their devs would lead to open source projects getting piles of talented volunteers

One fun fact about dice is you can have any higher faced die substitute for a lower faced one by rerolling any number not on the lower die.

This is why I only carry a d100

When you build a backdoor into your “encrypted messenger” its just a surveillance app

The last couple mastodon updates made it easier to access the trending feed (which afaik has existed since 2021) and added features like quote posts. Bluesky starter packs and custom shareable feeds are definitely its major perks.

The odds though bluesky will get bought up by right wing billionaires in the next 10 years is almost 100% unless there’s a major change in media management laws so don’t get too attached to bluesky since there is like a nonzero chance trump jr buys it with his crypto bribes.

Hell yeah I’ll follow them on masto

Starting to see the real motive behind the “AI hardware” hoarding.

It still boggles my mind things can be licensed/copyrighted without being forced to disclose source code. The lack of transparency we’re okay with in society is absolutely unsustainable.

Can we just do display port then?

Saying an expensive product that requires servers to run is the only thing exempt from copyright is just handing a bunch of giant corporations a get out of jail free card.

Either reform copyright so more things are public domain or require AI companies to pursue licenses to training data.

Giving an unfair exemption to copyright laws solely to giant tech companies is just another corporate handout.

If police have time to creep out like this instead of solving real crimes then the sherriffs office is way overfunded and they should cut these staff.

The EU should also fulfill the double meaning of the headline and buy Valve corporation from Gabe Newell.

I’m gonna get a linux phone. I used a flip phone and windows phone for a long time. I don’t actually need any of this bullshit.

Just a question on the value of time: If you can’t be bothered to write it, why should anyone bother to read it? Is it really that valuable of a message?

mammal teeth work pretty well as long you don’t eat too much sugar and acids.

My guess is that its to cover up patterns of this to protect specific rich guys from lawsuits. As a bonus it means its easier to add and subtract likes from posts without leaving clear evidence.

So Elon himself can add 10,000 likes to an antisemitic post or subtract the likes from say somebody making fun of a cybertruck.

software licensing needs to die. This shit needs standardized licensing
