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 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.

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

“If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order”

I’m speechless.

“The constitution is clear on this. There are a lot of things where it’s ambiguous, but it doesn’t give unilateral regulatory authority for election to the president,” Persily said.

MAGA is the swamp. Always has been.

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?

They can do more than one thing at the same time. Every bit helps. Relentlessly.

“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.

That’s how China exerts influence over dissidents abroad. Certainly more subtle than poisoning, but not better.

And even then. Sure, there’s cunning, and an unshakable will to be the boss, but “conviction and leadership”? I wouldn’t go that far. Esp. conviction - it depends very much on what you are convinced of, and the past years have shown us that Putin is no better than Trump in that respect. Delusional.

And I’m pretty sure he’s been doing that for a while already.

I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.

There’s this German song from the 70s:

Was kann schöner sein auf Erden
Als Politiker zu werden?
Du kannst dir auf leisen Sohlen
Dein Schäfchen ins Trock’ne holen

So, already in the 70s it was common knowledge that, as a politician, you start working on your retirement early. Silently. Then, when the shit hits the fan, all your sheep are safe and dry.
