@dansup The only ethical use I've found for LLMs is to waste the time of sales and market development outreach.

I love this line from @anna:

"So while the concept of software freedom doesn't resonate with me as much and as deeply as the concept of liberation — my ultimate goal is to liberate people, not technology — in the acceleration of a deep integration of technology into every single aspect of our lives, the fight for software freedom still often intersects with the fight for human rights."

@sjvn We had a wait for tumor biopsy results in my family just last week.

This is worse.

The tumor is curable and we have a team of experts who are dedicated to making sure it gets treated.

Maybe we need that for democracy.

@evan The problem with that analogy is that the desired outcome is obvious.

What if there are five babies in the burning building and you can only carry one? Should you be quick or fair?

@fastmailunited @fastmail I'm just a data point of one, but as a Fastmail customer I'm *more likely to stay a customer* if you unionize. I choose Fastmail because email privacy is an important ethical choice to me, but hearing how Fastmail supports worker rights would make me love being your customer twice as much!

@ryanhoulihan MSNBC is Pinkfong.

@ryanhoulihan 00s, just no. 90s, yes, for nostalgia.
