Yes, and they used the name first, not google. Arseholes.

Leave the US, now, if you can. Otherwise, find someone outside to publish your code I guess.

What a nightmare.

if jobs had living wages

But but billionaires would be slightly less obscenely rich then, oh no!

So whats the selling point of this vs. just Devuan itself?

I have trouble being too angry at this, since millionaires and billionaires sit on multiple corporate boards at the same time, and no one seems to complain about that.

This sounds really nice. I’m using Devuan currently, but MX looks very polished and worth a try…

Nope. Creativity? That’s … risky.

AI for pattern recognition (statistical stuff) IMHO is fine, it’s different than expecting original thought, reasoning or understanding, which the new ‘AI’ does not do, despite the constant hype.

Palantir, which the US gov is now (let’s not kid ourselves, has been for some time illegally) contracting, probably already has your face either from street cams, security cams in various company buildings, or from social media at this point, so letting you ‘opt out’ is probably just theatre to avoid angering people at airports.

Good god, it’s Microsoft Songsmith all over again.

To cut rocks and drag themmmmm ...

Ooooh, I got them Egyptian Blues,

Don't know if I can take another year
Of draggin' rocks in the sand!

Oh wait, never mind.

Data analytics firm doesn’t like … data on itself being analyzed. huh.

Add a removable battery, make sure it has a headphone jack and can be fully unlocked/rooted and I’ll buy 3 right bloody now.

Document it well enough to run real Linux and I’ll shout about it from the street like a crazy person for free advertising.

Beat me to it. Anand Giridharadas has spoken on the general scam of billionaires white-washing their legacies like this… their philanthropy seldom approaches, much less exceeds, the harm they did in getting so rich in the first place.

Still love my Acer Aspire v151, core i5. 11" is a great size, just big enough for a standard keyboard. I wish they would have updated models like that. A Ryzen 9 version would kick ass.

It may become the duty of every software engineer at this time to offer their services to those who need security, to make custom solutions for those who require it.

Cypherpunks, arise!

As someone once said, to paraphrase, “He has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.”

What powers does the United States Marshal Service actually have? And does anyone there have the will to uphold whatever oaths they swore to fulfil their duty?

After all that has occurred already, so many lines drawn, then crossed, without consequence… I am skeptical.

EDIT: more than skeptical – A whistleblower says Trump Sent the US Marshals to try to “Intimidate” Her so they’ve apparently decided already what side they’re on. The USA as a democractic republic is already lost.

There’s a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.
