Are there really daily driver Linux users that want to run a proprietary gui based LLM solution that Sam Altman gets to keylog AND have full remote code execution on their system? This feels like trolling. Meanwhile I am looking at a Crush

I cannot think of a niche where one could not be successful without Facebook, but by all means present a specific example.

That sure helps for personal use cases, and interesting! If you have more than one author in the history though that won't work, but I imagine where this is used the most is by an author cleaning up their own PRs. Appreciate being hear

I abandoned my 5k follower Twitter account for Mastodon a few years ago and 1700 people followed me there. I expect out of the 5k Twitter followers most of them are bots, so I probably lost nothing. The secret to making alternative platform

Note: This will not work and cannot work on repos that use signed commits from multiple authors. Signed git history is immutable, and unsigned git history is a supply chain attack vector. That said I could see this being useful for single-a

Been trolling stupid powerful people for over 20 years and spent no time in jail yet. Maybe that is my survivors bias talking, but I will not allow my free speech to be chilled.

Several fintech companies, blockchains, operating systems, and server operating systems use stagex as a foundation because it is the only fully deterministic and multi-party verifiable OS stack that exists, built to resist supply chain atta

We are fairly unique for a Linux OS in that we have no central servers, and there are no central keys, and no central entity to even send a C&D to. Everything is a quorum of privately owned hardware, so truly I do not know what mechanis

I kind of hope they try. I would like to see them fail so publicly that no one ever has to be afraid of laws like this again.

Given my comments were in the top ten highest voted of the day, it encourages me that a -lot- of people think this law is dumb and ideally some subset of them will fight it with me. Some of us with mockery, and hopefully some with legal and

Tens of billions of dollars of infrastructure run on top of stagex, but I remain happy to ignore an unconstitutional, unenforceable, and badly worded law that does not and can not apply to me all the same. They will be successful at forcing

When a rule is made that has any mechanism for compliance, I will think on this advice, but the law we are talking about is a joke, so I will just laugh at it.

Rather than refute any of my points the best you could do is try to discredit me and say "No one listen to this heretic that has concerns with Signal!"

lol. I can only aspire to be someone so effective in my goals for furthering personal freedoms that a government feels compelled to drop a bomb on me to make it stop.

Long history of ruffling feathers for big companies and politicians if you looked hard enough. Still not in prison because free speech actually is still somewhat a thing in this country, and as long as that is true, I will keep using it.

Who needs to dox me? I am a using my legal name on here and am super easy to look up. This law is stupid and I gleefully and openly mock it and those that think it is enforceable under my well known public identity. No one should take these

I am calling a bluff as a form of advocacy. There will never actually be any litigation because this law is a joke and should be treated as such.

I for one found two new cases to read about, and appreciate their comments. Anyone should be free to research, discuss, and try to understand the law for themselves. Lawyers do not own the law. But if actually pulled into a courtroom, sure,

Totally reasonable take for a pragmatic career lawyer. But I am not a lawyer or a politician and I could not care less if I lose political points with people trying to exert control over the function of software on peoples private devices u

Containers, desktop, server. We do all of it. Anyway. Kids are an excuse to get it passed. It is about testing the waters of how much control can be exerted by government on end user devices, and we need all maintainers to hold the line.

Oh, we will be supporting desktop/ubuntu style use cases soon. Position will remain the same though. And, agreed, they will still ignore us. But sick of seeing bigger projects cave to this nonsense. But, none of this was about protecti

No one is being convicted and doing hard time for refusing to add age verification to a Linux distro. This is just more fear mongering. It would be a fine or a few days of jail until bail is posted, at worst. And then a media shit show wher

They cannot force me to do either. But it would be a fascinating case study to watch them try. I feel it would only help prove the decentralized censorship-resistant tactics of the project work as intended. Government overreach should be in
