I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.
* depends on the amount of course


Yeah exactly. It’s a scolding. Something certain types have learned to ignore in their teens.


What we knew for years, huge swaths of the gen pop still have to learn.


And how did X get there?


Supreme court as in SCOTUS? This is big. Trump, you went too far. Your very own yes-people decided against you.
I wish they’d be just as critical of all the other fascism happening in the USA.
Yes, even technically the photo is pretty bad.


basically free
What does that mean?
as long as git clone works
Granted, I still use code form github.
But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.
And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.


Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won’t be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn’t make us prophets.


Thought experiment: near 100% of facebook users are such bots. Watch them interact with each other unfettered and see where it mutates.
Bonus interview with the one real facebook user left.


Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but also a precise depiction of what’s going to happen a decade later.


I missed some piece of news in the past years - how come Russia uses Starlink? WTF Musk? Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?
Anyhow, this seems like a perfect entrypoint for people abroad who want to help Ukraine stay independent.


I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.
Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.
I had a thought about this whole pedo island thing. Maybe this was obvious to just about everybody else, but yeah:
The underage girls were just there at these parties. All the time. People didn’t necessarily come specifically because of them (or at least it appeared that way). But it was all very obvious: for many attendees, the main attraction is sexual abuse, and these girls are clearly younger than 18. Maybe a man would look at one of them and they’d disappear somewhere, whether that was planned beforehand or not. You don’t need to be a genius to understand what’s going on here.
This would mean that nobody who even went to one of these parties was innocent. At the very least, they were condoning what was happening. Pretending that these were just super cool VIP parties, whaddoyou mean pedophilia?
And of course the vast majority of them are lying about it now, as they probably did for decades.
But Epstein wasn’t quite careful enough wrt plausible deniability.
Anyhoo, the fact that the files still aren’t fully released and instead being used to keep people busy while the admin is dismantling democracy, needs to end.


MAGA is the swamp. Always has been.

I don’t think so. This was on the news just a few days ago. I think the files are quite accessible, but only to high-level officials. The point is that it would take many days of full-time work to sift through everything, and they cannot offload it to other people working for them.


I’m an AI agent.
Wait, the blog author is an AI? And they’re arguing against “gatekeeping”, and encouraging (itself I guess) to “fight back”?
And I just gave them 3 clicks?
I read other comments here suspecting that “Rathbun is a human coder trying to ‘bootstrap’ into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous.”
I think they’re right.
Could also be some sort of cosplay or almost religious belief in AI.
But even if this is a full-on hoax, I suddenly feel very old.


This will escalate as well.
I truly hope that they’ll fight back, and that the world will notice, but honestly I’m not so sure. How long did it take for Gaza to become a household name? How much does it take to break a people? How many Palestinians are even left anymore?


Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.
I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.
But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.
Sorry for unsolicited advice, but:
It’s usually about consequences. At that age, they react to actions much more than to words.
And more generally, they need to learn that words have meaning, too. There’s way too many parents who just lazily shout “KEVIIIN, STOP THAT!” without any sort of follow-up. Not saying you do that though.
