No, fuck that. I am sick and tired of having shit pushed at me and then it being made my responsibility to be eternally hypervigilent to avoid it. It's abusive and fucking shame on you for defending it!

The last several places I worked gave me a choice between Windows and Mac OS, so I picked Mac OS.

Never KYS for something that's somebody else's fault.

Politicians ought to do this sort of thing on a regular basis (holding events out in the community, which is very different having people make appointments to meet them in their office). If it gets too popular, attendees ought to be prioritized by how long it's been since they last had a turn, rather than first-come, first-served.

And sometimes replies are concurrences instead of rebuttals. Think "yes, and" instead of "no, but".

Self-respect. I'm not going to tolerate my property being sabotaged against me in service of some other entity, and I don't understand why anybody else would either.

As soon as Windows 10 "telemetry" (read: spyware) started getting backported into Windows 7 almost a decade ago, I was gone.

Windows users in 2025 are nothing but cucks and simps for corporate abuse. They don't "just buy, have, and use a computer;" they are part of the problem.

If the price is free, you are the product

This is anti-Free Software propaganda. Some things really are free without catches, and we shouldn't impugn them just because other things are fraudulent.

Pretty sure he was responding to the article, not you.

It’s not his fault that the political landscape shifted on him making his activities now illegal, but the charges aren’t bogus.

In addition to the other reasons others have pointed out why your position is bullshit, imagine actually defending an ex-post-facto law.

Alternatively, I would argue that all LLM code output must be GPL, since it was trained partially on GPL code.

Either that, or LLM code output cannot be used for any purpose at all, by anyone.

I guess they consider their murder of non-subscription self-hosted multiplayer to be complete enough that their rent-seeking game service can survive without the need for hardware walls for the proverbial garden.

Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.

Only solution is going to be to ban the automated license plate scanners; otherwise this is going to keep on happening.

Not exactly... world news. But it's happening all over the world.

The indictment accuses Abughazaleh — whose name is repeatedly misspelled in the document — of bracing her hands on the hood of an ICE vehicle that was attempting to drive through a group of protesters outside of the Broadview Processing Center, ICE’s Chicago command center.

If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don't, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though. A man can dream.
