I think it’s rather common for them to coordinate so many of them get to vote in favor of a popular bill, but enough of them miss it or break ranks with the party that ooooh darn, we just weren’t able to meet the threshold. Like here. If every AIPAC-funded Democrat “coincidentally” misses it, they risk turning the eye of the whole nation towards AIPAC, but if they coordinate just enough to missing to fail, we… Have this conversation instead.

I’ve been meaning to set up something similar. I really don’t feel like dealing with reliable delivery, but I also don’t want to give my plentiful incoming mail to someone just so I can send like 5 emails a year.

To be totally fair, and I do not like being fair to Pete Hegseth, awarding the medal is pretty clearly an implicit admission that he was wrong and the soldier was right.

He should still publicly and directly admit that, though.

Yeah, they accidentally got it backwards, it maximizes your volume to surface area ratio.

Yep, keep that in mind next time Republicans are lamenting how underfunded it is and how they may just have to make some cuts. They’d rather old and disabled folks die on the streets than tax the rich more.

Sell out

Quasimodo

Don’t do big Quas like that, he doesn’t deserve to be compared to this shit stain.

My understanding is that relicensed code still needs to abide by certain terms of the original license. This usually means something like leaving a copyright notice required by the original license, as anything much more than that often has some term that conflicts with GPL or forbids relicensing. In essence, your code is arguably subject to both licenses, it’s just that one was loose and permissive enough to allow you to stack another one on top of it.

Just because AI doesn’t respect anything, and the people who run it are too stupid to realize that.

They’re perfectly capable of realizing it. How do you think it got built that way? They don’t respect anything, either.

Europeans? Oh god no. European politicians? Definitely.

Oh, they’ll get more secure options. They’re special. But yes, it will definitely open the populace to attacks by other actors. That’s just a secondary concern to being able to spy on you.

You think in the age of age verification and constant attempts to force backdoors into encrypted apps that it’s just incompetence that has them slandering Graphene? No, they’ve been advised well enough to know exactly what they’re doing here. They’re intentionally discouraging people from using secure devices.

The “are you affected?” section directly contradicts this. It outright states you must have password authentication enabled. Otherwise, SSH never gives you a chance to even attempt a password.

Well that’d be a different context entirely. The premise here was that they had, but it would be unfair to make them face the consequences of their actions.

“But you’ll ruin…”

No the fuck you won’t. They ruined it with their choices and actions. He’ll face consequences for what he did, not for what someone else said.

I disagree. In an age of such intensely pervasive spying, I think it’s only prudent to use encryption wherever possible. I think in the next decade or two, we’re going to start seeing the full implications of all the spying and data harvesting, especially with fascism rising in so many places. Just because your host and the country they operate in are trustworthy today doesn’t mean that can’t change and make your logs worth monitoring.

Yes, and the greater context of the invasion of Iraq was… 9/11. I understand that the genuine purpose may have differed, but the populace was still painfully aware of 9/11, and this got lumped into the War on Terror that started as a direct result of 9/11. The invasion started a year and a half later, yeah, but I really don’t think it would have had the same response without 9/11 having happened.

The freedom fries thing was dumb as hell, but this is arguably worse. At least the freedom fries thing was a nation reeling after its biggest terrorist attack. This is just “you better not say anything even remotely mean about our president!” At all times.

I didn’t say 7.4 is slop. You spoke against people who are anti-slop, which generally suggests pro-slop.

Can’t wait for this anti-AI slop to stop.

I’ve seen a lot of pro AI posts, but I think this is the first one that’s actually pro slop.
