Rawlsian veil of ignorance strikes again would once again be awesome to use.

Imagine that one side gets no background checks, and the other does, but you don’t know which side gets what. Do you agree to that?

Immigrants often have families in their new country. You can’t think about those people as individuals because they would likely stay for their family, which would be hard to move.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.

fuck Charles

You may not have a choice.

A republican flip flopping on states rights again? I’m shocked.

What’s stopping somebody from making an LLM that can reproduce media that was used in its training with close to 100% accuracy? If that happens, then we’ll have a copyright laundering service.

External libraries do this, but fwiw when I tested Immich I ended up with a ton of missing thumbnails in my external library and there seemed to be no way to detect and repair them. That was a deal breaker for me and I went back to Photoprism. Immich looks really great though other than that.

I thought it was Xitter, where the X is pronounced with the Chinese “sh” pronunciation.

It’s an engine. That’s about all I know because everything I know about Hemi’s I learned from Joe Dirt.

This is why I’ll never feel bad pirating any music found on the radio.

There’s another way that Threads could gain an advantage, and that is by releasing fediverse software that is really great that people want to use, but that the community has no control over and is released with a restrictive license. This software could provide advantages in local resource and network efficiency, instance management, ease of configuration, ease of upgrade, etc, which would be appealing to people who run instances. Once that software has a big enough share, they could begin introducing changes that suit them and not the community. If ease-of-upgrade is in place, and not enough transparency from meta about the included changes, folks could end up unwittingly adopting bad features, perhaps ones that put them in legal peril and jeopardize their ability to continue hosting the instance. If this software doesn’t have easy data export features, then migrating the instance to new software could be an insurmountable task.

I think we should all be incredibly critical of any community and systems maintenance challenges in software released by meta, and be diligent about testing migrate-away scenarios. In fact, I would say that if they do release self hostable software, we make sure to port all the good features to FOSS software as quickly as possible. We don’t want to end up in a legal bind by adopting source-available software that is not free-as-in-freedom.

No way I’d take that risk. The last thing I need is to give the investors money, rewarding their awful decisions.

No. The world may be multipolar, but this is clearly a low point on the moral landscape.

Good call on Obsidian not being FOSS! I don’t know that.

Consistent keyboard shortcuts across apps and WMs, and a common config syntax and file location for them so customizations are easy to share and migrate between apps and WMs.
