I think the best economic boom in history to compare the Generative AI industry with is the British selling opium to the Chinese.

If we raised taxes far enough, billionaires wouldn't just leave, but cease to exist <3

Fellas, a realistic cis-male self-image likely includes having "done wrong".

Heck, I was brought up in the 1980s in rural Germany. "Of course" I believed shit (and did) that was, by my own standards of today, sexist as fuck. How would 10 year old me have known any better?

Denial is not a strategy towards progress.

Deal with it. And do better now.

Don't, for fuck's sake, defensively double down.

I'm so tired. (Not as tired as women*.)

Oh my, this is dangerous for him.

Palantir won't appreciate the IP infringement.

Kubernetes may be the biggest prank Google has ever played on the rest of the industry.

While I love @kagihq, I wish they had "unlimited Just The Search™" plans where I don't have to pay for AI features I don't use.

I think politicians believe that protestors are paid to voice someone's opinion because they are paid to voice someone's opinion.

I love how the #FSF unerringly comes out in support against anyone trying to reduce the harm software is used for and maybe not hand it to murderers.

"It's only free if you don't try to stop anyone else from using it to kill people via the license terms" is the most US take *ever*.

(Not that OSI is different.)

That's how you end up with #Palantir as a major FOSS sponsor, I guess.

@datenwolf @kejster @jwildeboer @tante I'm not convinced. I don't want to be "autonomous": I want the capability to *act* in an autonomous/sovereign manner, yes.

The problem is that the right intentionally reduces "sovereign" to isolationism/nationalism. We kinda need to resist that, because they'll otherwise do it to any other term as well ("independence" is a similar candidate).

Maybe throw in an adjective & re-order? "Sovereign digital collaboration".

@jwildeboer Ich denke, Menschen die begrenzte Elementargüter dem freien Markt überlassen wollen tun dies entweder aus bewusster Profitgier, oder aus mangelndem Verständnis.

Magnetschwebebahnen im NAHVERKEHR.

Sind die eigentlich alle in "Grundlagen der Sachkunde" *und* "Wirtschaft" in der Mittelstufe gleichzeitig durchgefallen?

Das ist doch nur noch reine Identitätspolitik zur Verhinderung von ÖPNV.

It's very hard for me to see Palantir as anything but outright fascist.

@thomholwerda Unless I explicitly source an artisanal translation I'd also be very surprised if a translator doesn't use tools efficiently to reduce the billable hours though ...

I'd expect it to not be a loss in quality however.

Wie man sowas veröffentlichen oder lesen kann, ohne die Prävention von #Sarscov2 Infektionen zu priorisieren, ist mir komplett fremd.

Die beste Behandlung einer unheilbaren Krankheit ist sich nicht anzustecken.

(Und natürlich müssen Milliarden in die Forschung zur Behandlung. Aber die ist komplett vermeidbar, for fucks sake.)

So rms is an actual Nazi apologist now and wants them to have a platform?

Who we build communities with is the most important choice we possibly can make. Because it will reflect in what we build.

Explicitly wanting Nazis to have hosting and subscription options though is ... well ... actually quite on brand. "For any purpose", after all. Ethics have explicitly nothing to do with it.

@evan @tony That's yet another question though?

How much effort a given piece of software requires to stay functional in a changing world is very varied.

I have a tiny C mail delivery agent I wrote for myself in 1997 and last touched in 1998. It's still working perfectly fine locally. (I had to recompile it once.)

Compare with a project like Home Assistant, where I really couldn't guess how much effort that must be.

I'd expect a few hours per month for an average project.

@evan That's ... a different question? They've got no obligations to me.

I could maintain it or contribute to it myself, pick something else, pay someone ...

But there's no "should".

@evan (x) however much they feel like it

I just rewatched #StarTrek Insurrection.

"We believe that when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man."

The movie is from 1998.

Ein Mensch mit folgenden Logos in seinem #Wikipedia Nutzerprofil blockiert einen Artikel zur @OSBA aufgrund angeblich fehlender Relevanz und ich bin sicher, das ist eine komplett faire Bewertung.

Der Moderationsprozess der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia ist ganz klar exzellent und es gibt da überhaupt keine tendenziösen Aspekte oder so!
