I'm not so arrogant as to claim the world as it is as "my theory". If you choose to gormlessly debate reality that's up to you. If you choose to see some things and not others, well that's your theory of living you

Is it a surprise to you that I haven't fully encoded the current world order in one HN comment? Just as the press usurped our power to block us out of it. Trump usurped the media's power (through his own showmanship) to block them

Also OSS maintainers bear the brunt for interoperability projects while the startups built on those same libraries get handsomely VC funded without ever contributing back. Any institutionally funded project should be forced to take a percen

How does proximity or collaboration between people help consultants use ChatGPT more effectively?

Isn't it fascinating that Megacorps target OSS Adversarial Interoperability Maintainers with legal threats while VCs refused to fund them. Meanwhile one-step removed startups (e.g texts.com/beeper) get handsomely VC funded (while

Gormless contrarians in VC conveniently found the US DOD teat to latch on to to make up for a lack of returns. Ethics? lol.

I think it's time someone made a crowd-sourced ToS accepting tool which has a random person on the other end is accepting your ToS and companies have to prove that you yourself accepted it (I doubt they'd be able to). I really hop

The N900 (or N810) form factor is also great, especially for CLI commands/coding. There was a team trying to bring it back to life (neo900)

It's imperative for an open internet that Air Canada lose this case.
