It is interesting to consider what "jailbroken" really means for a model+model interface. It's a bit different from the way that word is used for a mobile device, for example - in that setting, it usually means that there is

I disagree that integration is commutative. Often, we see a feature which is important to free use of a computer as a general-purpose tool locked behind an ever-changing and/or poorly documented API in a closed-source, centralized, de-

The obvious way to keep human spaces is via webs-of-trust. If you play bluegrass or old time (or beopop or hip-hop / proto-hip-hop) or other traditional styles of music where the ensemble is a de facto web-of-trust, join us on pickiped
