    Sure! I agree with the comment's point as I understand it, but I don't think that point is counter to what the linked article means to convey. I think the article's intended point …

    TFA does not say that it is impossible to make better choices, but also, you cannot "better choices" yourself out of complicity with poor labor practices in colonized nations or en…

    Yeah. Unfortunately the people running the estate today appear to share ~none of the late Professor's values.

    This headline is misleading. The California law requires that the OS store and provide the age bracket. It does not require that any verification take place. I am not arguing that …

    Thanks for responding, Brian. While I don't agree with a lot of decisions Bluesky and the broader ATProto community have made, I am very excited that progress towards real decentra…

    This is quite literally the opposite of the tragedy of the commons.

    I mean, I'll probably ditch the LLM - after all, it's open source so I can just build my own app to receive the messages - but it seems like a neat bit of kit.
