@Blender i love the comments in the thread and i agree.
Its similar to accepting blood diamonds as a donation.
The source of the money matters.

@tinker@infosec.exchange oh boy, time to fork the linux project eh?
Gosh, what do we have left
Replying to
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social @NatureMC@mastodon.online yeah, i'm learning that lol
Sorry about all the confusion.
Replying to
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social @NatureMC@mastodon.online yeah, i see why it drew such a strong reaction

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social just a joke - if we're all stardust then maybe our destiny is tied to the stars

@NatureMC@mastodon.online @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social i get it - i'm no fan of astrology - it was a joke - never mind

@ax11@mastodon.social why are you even in this thread? Its between me and the OP. And we're both fine on this.

@peter i'm doing just that - taking singing lessons and gardening
I refuse to be part of this mentally sick system

@dillo@fosstodon.org nice resource, thanks for compiling and sharing
BTW, I had no idea that Nihilists had a sense of humor

@kevinrns@mstdn.social @jbz@indieweb.social ah, shouldn't this be directly challengeable negligence by oil companies in court?
Replying to
@OlgaPatlyuk interesting, we probably need to send an epstein investigation team to Hungary. They might find something there.

@courtcan you guys are doing a great, great job at it given your circumstances and how much you have to do to just survive as it is.
Keep going!
I wish there was something we could do from outside the US.

@mikemcquaid@mastodon.social this could also backfire - and make managers take over the open-source projects for their own product roadmaps.
Replying to
@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social @ax11@mastodon.social I totally understand the reactions, given that we live in a strange world where some people suddenly now believe that the earth is flat for no reason.

@invadersil the term above that one is the really shady one
People are responsible for any action that copilot takes
Isn't this a serious violation of AI policy and guardrails?
Replying to
@pare@kamu.social i get it, it's complicated, the egg's value is 1, the total value is 74. So your value = total value - value of 3 eggs = 71
The egg's value was always 1 😂

@MissConstrue@mefi.social Sam Harris - not surprising.
Gary Kasparow! - at this rate, if the person is famous, I'm going to avoid him/her.
Terrible.

@n_dimension also, I think if we trim down to quality datasets - like Wikipedia and open-source books, I think we can build a smaller model that runs on lower spec hardware.
I run Qwen-3/Jan-code models on my RTX 2060 - no sweat for inference and I can use it for 80-90% of my work. Its like having an interactive encyclopedia offline. I love it.
Specific models for specific use-cases/communities might also be a good idea. Like an agri-trained llm for agriculture

@madsenandersc@social.vivaldi.net @eq@mas.to @FrancoisPrague@mastodon.social I've seen this happen but its the case of popular "feminism" propaganda where women are brainwashed to become more like men. I had a friend of mine at IBM who had a "MAN" rating. Sigh!

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net this is great, I tried to build a startup 15 years back with the same goal, not knowing what I was up against.
Happy to support you guys, Will join as a life-time member.
I know a lot of artists across the world, will try to connect them to you.

@decryption I run Qwen 3 and Jan code 4B parameter LLMs on my i7 + RTX 2060. Quite nice and doesn't heat up my GPU

@mcc its been 25 years and files still get locked, forcing you to restart to release the lock, so you can delete or rename the file.
You decide.

@bodhipaksa hmmm...time for the "new and incompetent" head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics dept to leave?
More digging into systemd
At the heart of it is a communication system that allows arbitrary data and is shuffling it around using unix domain sockets.
Some of these messages can be calls to functions in the target process.
I have mixed thoughts about this.
I see the need for a good communication layer above SysV IPC but arbitrary messages and being able to call functions across processes?
Will have to think about this.
A suggestion for @Mastodon@mastodon.social
Allow reporting or moderate wrong usage of hashtags.
I see that for visibility, some accounts post with the wrong hashtags.
Just saw a SpaceX post with an epstein hashtag that has nothing to do with epstein.
Replying to
@Snoro@mastodon.social i don't know, I prefer simpler explanations.
What we've done as a society is that despite our technological advances, we've put cave-dwelling baboons at the top.
And we're now paying dearly for it.
Replying to
@0x00string@infosec.exchange
baffles me as well
Most just wade through life just seeing problems and finding solutions.
Few take a step back and realize that a large majority of problems are caused by the system, and that their efforts are better spent fighting it.
There's a sense of powerlessness in the general public.
It seems that revolutionary changes are not just caused by recognizing facts, but by figuring out how to move the public. E.g. Gandhi's Salt Satyagraha.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social don't call them men, they aren't men. It isn't a patriarchy, its mafia. a global mafia.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I hope the guys who came back are charging a hefty "automation insurance" since the company is virtually guaranteed to try and replace them in the next few years

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow@mastodon.world @rahmstorf@fediscience.org throw them in the wildfires, and show them what climate change is
Replying to
@Snoro@mastodon.social why should they just pay a compensation?
This is mass murder, committed with full knowledge of the consequences.
This is a crime against humanity and the perpetrators must be tried and convicted in the ICC

@Snoro@mastodon.social I hope this fails for precisely the same reason.
We can't be letting profiteering gluttons stay at the top.
We need a grassroots change in the structure of society
Replying to
@jonathankoren @zeldman well the talks are going to fail - Iran will want to be compensated for damages and the US has no money to give. At best they will charge a fee and control the strait

@Digital_Coolie awesome stuff! The power of art which was neutered by corporations and turned into some bullshit teenager trash
