Socialism is about making the government work for people and protecting individuals from corporate greed. If using AI (open source or otherwise) is going to require stealing water …

There's a massive difference between piracy/copyright at a small scale for personal use or creative purposes and the wealthiest companies in the world devouring copyrighted materia…

I think it's complicated by the turning tide on the health effects of social media. So people are kind of primed for "makes sense to keep kids from these attention driven platforms…

Hmm, I think it was more the rise of streaming services which were more convenient and offered a better experience with less risk than illegally downloading music or movies.

That's a good point I suppose. I guess I'm just kind of sad. LLMS appropriately sourcing material could have been such a boom for artists in a way. I guess I feel like it was a mis…

I wish archive websites would take a harder stance on LLMS. Liberating/archiving human for humans is fine albeit a bit morally grey. Liberating/archiving human works for wealthy co…

It really would be less bad though wouldn't it? The more we resist turning this into a state-sided solution which provides a service to private companies with a YES/NO age verifica…

It's not hypothetical. And in fact the girl who was being targeted was expelled not the boys who did it [1]. Those boys absolutely should be held accountable. But I also don't thin…

A lot of these UPFs are targeted at young people who don't have the same ability to think of long term consequences. If you start young, it's a much harder habit to break later in …

I feel like if the conclusion is "ban it for everyone too" I'm okay with it? But the argument seems to get a little lost along the way. Yes, adults are susceptible to the same vice…

After spending most of my career hacking on these systems, I feel like queues very quickly become a hammer and every entity quickly becomes a nail. Just because you can keep two sy…

Total touch grass moment. There's more to education than just trivia and there's more to travel than just learning about the place you're in. The only way to learn about the human …

Good advice. Doesn't work in bad culture. I once was told "we cannot promote you because the work you've done checks the boxes for 2 rolls above you and does not check the boxes fo…

I've heard it's actually beneficial for your ankles long term to get some tilt/pan on them. It reduces your chances of injury by strengthening the twitch muscles in your ankle and …

I enjoy when: Things are simple. Things are a complicated, but I can learn something useful. I do not enjoy when: Things are arbitrarily complicated. Things are a complicated, but …

I really do not like working with uncle bob hardliners There have been so many times where I have commented _why_ I think some uncle bob-ism made the code unclear and the response …

I have an old FPGA sitting around at home and I'm relatively comfortable with VHDL. I've never really thought of any interesting projects to do with it. Anyone know of anything?

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I think I'll be giving this a shot for some upcoming projects.

Naive question here: with WireGuard VPN, does all traffic route through the VPN or only those packets bound for the other devices in the mesh?

Can anyone explain to me (someone not so network security savvy) if there are any privacy or security concerns using a wire guard provider like this? As I understand it, with tradi…

"If you research police corruption you'll probably find out the police are corrupt." Large corporations and the police both have statistically significant problems to be a concern …

Probably because Microsoft knows vibe coding is _not_ an actual viable way to build production ready code and does not want to deal with the liability issues of prompting customers…

How can all this consolidation in media even be justified?

Even if AI poetry/music/movies gets really high quality, it's still gonna be slop to me.
