Well at least now I can fly my drones without having to know where the local gestapo happens to be harassing people or just getting coffee...

Much respect to those that went to court to battle this crap!

Saw Project Hail Mary today, great movie and I recommend it especially for those that didn't want all the science.

I read the book as well and it was the one thing that was missing for the movie... I'm a science nerd, if you are as well read the book! You wont be sorry! #BookSky

Right? Between ICE and the thought police it just reinforces anything presented on that table in question!

Absolutely agree! I picked up some good reading there. Honesty if an ACAB sticker or pamphlet can hurt feelings then perhaps reflecting on why that opinion is being put forth, is in order? Asking too much in this Sunday and age though

I know exactly what table and pamphlet they're referring to... If a university can't support any group quietly promoting an opinion with a printed zine, they are NOT a university. This is not a place that promotes an open discussion of ideas. Disagreement and debate are a part of an academic env.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Qualcomm is buying Arduino, releases new Raspberry Pi-esque Arduino board Qualcomm claims Arduino will keep its own branding and β€œopen source ethos.”…

I have the same optimism I bring to every large company buying up open source... Very low. Sure Arduino will remain the same for a while but corporate enshitification is nearly inevitable... I mean I might be more optimistic if it wasn't a US company.. idk. #rip

Google's dev registration plan 'will end the F-Droid project : Open source Android app store cannot exist if Google's plans go ahead, says F-Droid board member

I had a feeling this was going to be the result of Google "protecting" everyone with the developer registration plan... Another door will close

Google’s Android Sideloading Crackdown: Safety at the Cost of Freedom? - Gizmochina Google will require verified developers for Android sideloading from 2026, raising debates over security and user freedom.

I'm pretty unhappy about this Google approved developer plan they have announced. Preventing side-loading means governments can control what you load as well. I'm fairly sure this will negatively impact F-droid usage as well...

A $500 billion tech company's core software product is encouraging child suicide It sounds horrific. It should. Let's be clear about the material circumstances of what's happening rather than handwaving about 'the dangers of AI'

Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic.

But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.

Wow I just setup a cloudflare tunnel to my new server and now I have a public gitea server without all the trouble of configuring ports etc. then hoping I didn't leave the backdoor wide-open. This really makes self-hosting a low stress inducing activity! And you get TLS in the deal.

Oh perfect testing ground for AI.. always best to test on people with no rights so you can master its use before inflicting it on those considered "free".
