What a thought provoking example of the state of individual vs corporate contributions to open source in the current “state of things”

Individuals are funding significantly more than the companies that profit from FOSS are. 🤔

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement.

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

This has become surprisingly common, companies creating digital clones from your precious memories for a quick buck. When I talk about it in class I discuss my granny who was an artist and loved to learn but most of all she loved to argue. It didn't matter what topic, just fight. AI could never.

this story was sort of lost in the last few days of the epstein news but it’s wild how many republicans appear to be pedophiles or okay with pedophilia

Fascists fucking love pseudo Roman aesthetics. They want to be emperors and look down from on high over everyone. They want a return to bread and circuses and slavery and that all begins with ancient Roman aesthetics. Next he will want a marble statue of himself.
Looks like Caesar’s Palace circa 1982 before it was remodeled.

Imagine what he has in store for the ballroom. Holy shit!

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

I was 22, staring at the TV, shouting internally "What! What!? You CAN be transgender for real? You CAN transition???"

This is a post about why they really want to ban cellphones for kids.

This further leans into my theory that AI companies and the government want us as brainrotted as possible. Eroding critical thinking skills to the point where we will accept their mush, accept authoritarianism and accept our lack of rights.
