Companies face backlash for slop, and you’re here all “it’s what the people want!” Get real.

We literally already live in the world you're describing. Aaron Swartz already killed himself because of the blowback from his scraping. OpenAI/Anthropic/Facefuck/Google/whateverthefuckothercompany are all thriving with theirs, getting corpo and government contracts left and right.

This battle is already lost.

I just kind of assumed that stingrays were capable of parthenogenesis.

Did a cursory search and this was the first result which put a dampener on the whole situation unfortunately.

Given that we haven't gotten it yet, despite years of promise, it seemingly has to be. Isn't it just a webapp anyway?

Ah, well if they're aiming to make a native client I can see it taking a bunch of extra time.

I wouldn't. His death doesn't deserve the attention.

I don't think that approving the leeching of art and culture into a machine so it can regurgitate some calculated, soulless middle-ground sum of all its parts is the way to go with that. I'm unequivocally behind Jingna Zhang and anyone else who wishes to bring the hammer down and crush whoever or whatever feeds this machine.

Letting some scum scrape Cara isn't going to magically translate into medicines no longer being copyrightable and available to all who needs them.

Aye, I follow you. I honestly couldn't say yay or nay. Might be as easy as switching some libraries out and making a good GUI in Qt/Adwaita/what have you, like what Kagi is doing with Orion. It could be more involved than that too.

Yeah, a raster image fit to his UVs.

In a good and just world, this would be the case.

I wasn't sure what a hyrax was so I looked it up.

It applies to dogs. I know someone whose dog is named Fidel. It means loyal. His surname happens to be Castro.

So on the vet papers he’s listed as Fidel Castro.

How you like season 2?

You know that you don’t actually need to advocate for the devil?

If they could adjust the model so that Israelis are treated humanely, they could do that for Arabs and other marginalised groups as well.

That can not be a real name.

Alright, that makes sense!

I mean it’s nice we have another paper for this. I’m sure it’s no surprise to anyone though.

Ah. Kobolds always wanting to be dragons.

History is written by the victors, and the luddites lost. That's why they're maligned as backwards idiots who didn't want tech to succeed.

They weren't stupid. They knew precisely what was going to happen, and did their best to stop it. Generally they took care to target only machines as their goal wasn't to harm people but to remain employed, and have money to survive with. Naturally there were exceptions, and sometimes people did get hurt.

But then, the bourgeoisie enacted law to prevent this where destroying mechanical looms became punishable by... oh let's see...

The act, as passed, made the destruction of mechanised looms [...] a capital felony (and hence a crime punishable by death).

Right! Death! Destruction of company property became punishable by death.

And people did die. Children died. Mind you, back then workers were anyone capable of working, and they had no rights. They didn't vote for the people who passed this act; workers weren't supposed to have a voice, and so the only recourse was rebellion.

This didn't stop things immediately, there's quite a lot of really cool worker history here, but eventually the government sent in the military and couple that with nothing really changing despite widespread rebellion, the luddite movement fizzled out.

NetBird is Wireguard yes.
