Hot take among what often seems to be an “AI is the devil!” crowd.

Feels like this implies that software is broadly maintained by its general user base when that’s simply not how it is outside of really niche projects. Most FOSS software is maintained by a dedicated few who are but a tiny fraction of the user base and are far from being your “average user”.

Yeah, the way in which the points being made are distributed among the cast seems a little off.

If you saw any of the posts about people getting weird DMs from a woman, “the fediverse chick” may ring a bell, her supposed name was Nichole. If none of that sounds familiar, just search “fediverse chick” and I’m sure you’ll find some posts.

I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target’s perception and how “they” want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.

In this case though the KGB agent was killed by Russia for being an FBI double agent. This is a weird angle of attack. I HATE “DODGE” and this kid almost assuredly shouldn’t be in the position they are, but for other reasons.

Thought it was a prank and one was going to actually have CoD in it.

CachyOS here for the moment.

Teams has the custom emojis if your admin enables them.

The top IP lawyer at Nintendo agreed that emulators are technically legal at a panel for intellectual property rights.

They run afoul of the law when they bypass encryption, recreate copyrighted programs, or point users to pirated material.

Like the title says, it’s meant to be a Tumblr-esque experience.
