It's more than just an opinion, it's costing people their careers and worse. The hypersensitivity of women can destroy mens lives over trifles in this day and age. With radical third wave feminists and their moral panics to blame

Yes, I have received harassment from women when I was younger. And there was very little that could be done about it, people would not take it seriously. That includes being sexually assaulted in high school, it happened because I was so ec

I stopped participating completely in any open source project that has a "code of conduct". To me, open source was all about freedom from such censorship and thought control. And I completely oppose rude and unpleasant behavior in

So roughly 8 years after widespread introduction of these codes of conduct in open source and here we are seeing projects start to disintegrate.

Yes, I have a similar attitude myself, to ignore copyright law for personal non-commercial usage. But if I want to do anything commercial, then I've got to respect it. That's my compromise stance on it.

Yes, I don't like xkcd. Comes across as arrogant and condescending.

Yes, I was expecting this hotline to do more harm than good. It's not just for people who have problems themselves, it's also a hotline to report those who they care about. It's basically snitching on people because of their

But I strongly doubt it's illegal to cause thousands or even millions of computers to have random data in their browser caches, as long as no hacking takes place? Just by padding files with dynamically generated random data, as I descr

There is no law in the UK making it illegal to possess random data. And I strongly encourage other people to use the "dd" command and create some large random files on their own computer, themselves. It's a perfectly legal fo

This powerful "pedophile network" is likely politicians who shopped online at Tesco in the early 2000s and had their credit card numbers used by criminals for fraudulent purposes, and likely got caught up in Operation Ore and fals

Absolutely ridiculous, this signal is coming into your private property, it should never be illegal to receive it. So they are criminalizing monitoring the voltage on a piece of wire (an antenna) in your own property, that is what an SDR do

I recommend filling up the empty space on hard drives and flash drives with random data from /dev/urandom. What is the government going to do, try and get you to decrypt that? On my computer I already have several terabytes of com

Fascism always uses an excuse, it stokes widespread fear and panic, so that it can subject the population to authoritarian rule.

The article says the majority of EU countries want to scan peoples' messages for illegal content. If this ends up being implemented, then it has crossed the line and we are now living in an authoritarian state. A watershed moment indee

It might not require specialized hardware in the future as GPUs get more powerful and we have other techniques such as LoRA for fine-tuning the models. We might see a distributed training [1] effort harnessing thousands of gamer GPUs worldw

You can host your open source AI project in Belarus or Russia or whatever. You can even VPN into the country and pretend you're actually developing it there. And we also have Tor, I2P, etc. to hide where you're coming from. And we

We should be scrutinizing these aforementioned pressure groups and if any of their activities are unlawful in any way, they should be reported to the authorities. Many here in the UK are registered charities. It is about time we get togethe

There might be a mandatory reporting requirement, so even if it's unfounded, it still ends up on a NCMEC database. Or that law enforcement is still notified, even if no arrest happens. Anyway it's all completely overwhelming to co

My greatest concern is the planting of this material on political activists' computers. It's by far the easiest way for the state to take their political opponents down. The general public will believe the accusations without ques

Yes, this and the mass surveillance going on, is enough for me to say confidently that we're now living in a police state. That we have severely traded our liberty for supposed safety here. And it's happened slowly over the decade
