I'd write to this. It could be really fun... But I won't cause it'll be the worst of worst slopfests. Real human writing will be drowned out.

I think all this goes to the joke/not-a-joke about "you aren't a real hacker until you have a CVE to your name". Its also a form of forced social proof.

I came from the oldschool cypherpunk cryptogeeks when it meant secure comms and not shitcoin. There was a subset of us who thought that encryption wasn't the final goal, but steganography was needed to HIDE the encrypted comms. Else si

Completely true, that. Ive seen exactly as you said with 4 friends of mine when I helped them go over to Linux. On the Win11 side, they didnt even KNOW that they clicked a button to sync their files to some cloudshit account (Onedrive). The

I bought a pack of Win10 pro keys for $5 a key. Gray market site, but 100% legit. The few times I needed a key, it worked the first time. And for a friend who needed Win11, the upgrade from 10 Pro to 11 worked first time. I'd never pay

And NOT a damned thing will be done to punish the administration for these obvious illegal actions. And they'll continue to do so, because it takes months to unwind this shit, and the damage was done immediately.

Uh, no. Shaming a "take" is just tone policing. Owners should own the hardware along with the software both. Its only since the smartphone era (2008) with locked down shit devices has this view changed. And people challenging this

Yep, GrapheneOS is anti-user-freedom. They do their damndest to prevent owners from having full control of their property, over claims of 'insecurity'. And complaints of this nature get inane drivel responses of "lol just f

Pity. Cause that's the system that needs overhauled or killed.

Lol, no you can't. Most people these days can't. Costs $2500 AND payment of all student debts. This place (USA) is literally a fucking company town.

Well, for starters, good. We all know this whole H1-B situation was to cripple wages and to get an indentured workforce. Glad its being "paused". Would love to it being modified to not being tied to a company, or gottennrid of for

Sure block them. Or they can pay statutory maximum copyright violations of $120000 per copy violated. Per copy.

I do use and run my own LLMs locally. But I understand why Debian might ban it, under just 1 reason: LLM outputs cannot be copyrighted. That alone starts to invalidate the GPL and other FLOSS licenses. It overall weakens the project the mor

When there's no public bathrooms, everything is a "public bathroom'. Just 2 weeks ago, saw people pissing/shitting at a pull-over in Iceland. Laws explicitly forbid that... But when you gotta go, you go. And Iceland also

Perhaps so. But the problem at hand here is that MS Windows has so lost the plot of being an OS for users, to ABUSING users. All these fixes and repairs ignore the fact that abusing people pays. Surveillance capitalism pays, and provides a

Or.....Install Linux and bypass all this stupidity. They will move faster to track each and every one of you, all the while shoving ads and garbage down each of your respective machines... and you all pay for it?!

Please educate YOURSELF about criminal actions by a company is a fine (read: cost of doing business), whereas criminal actions by a person get years/decades long prison time and life-long ramifications after the actual punishment. And

Exactly. All libraries are worthy of being supported and grown. I make no distinction between a physical dead-tree library and a digital library. The only reason we even have dead-tree libraries at all is because 100 years ago, that was wha

Ya know, there's not a damned thing I can do about any of this, other than TRY to get citizenship elsewhere and leave this shithole. And fascism is taking hold lots of other places as well. Canada's a laugh, with Alberta seperatis
