Art of the deal, people 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Say, you have a nice piece of kit there. It would be a shame if something were to break and it neded repair”

Organized religion conditions people not to think but to view everything through the lens of their dogmas. Faith (unquestioned acceptance of prescribed believes) being nr 1. May never occur to them that the scientific method does not require said unquestioned acceptance.

Never mind then.

Break-up? If only… I hate these stupid exaggerated clickbaity titles.

It’s hardly more than a realization of their toxic relationship. But that is indeed the 1st step of change.

Damn, before long the d1ckpics start showing up 🤢🤢🤮

Not with a DoD contract they won’t

There are a lot of hard truths in Carlin’s work.

👆Here is an idea👏

I agree, they start to sound desperate to keep their current momentum going. I think the bubble will burst soon. Things look solid until they’re not.

This seems just as toyish as did dinnerplate sized drones 2y ago. So chances are I’m wrong again.

I’m sure there are rich people who still have a conscience and may even act on it. The proposed idea (public funding for such research) is just meant to sidestep the morally bankrupts, who -despite being a minority- can still screw it up for everyone. Like the orange baboon and his slavish entourage.

You may be missing the point.

To most people participating in soceity for the last 10yrs is obvious that this is just a step. Think of the boiling frog metaphore. There is BIG money in rent seeking through enshittification.

Fortunately open source software is not controllable to the same degree by legistlation as proprietary shit (ms, apple). So, while specific countries or states could create such laws, open source software in general is unlikely to comply. The reason is simple: everyone has access to the source code, so anyone can rip out any offending piece of code. Which is happening with systemd right now.

Btw, if I’m not mistaken the systemd PR implementing the birthdate change is closed wihout the code being merged. For now.

I didn’t know him, but apparently he financed the republicans. If that is indeed the case I say fuck this guy.

On the other hand the site took out the middleman/madam who traditionally exploited these women (perhaps man as well) So, good for them!

Edit: I’m an idiot, I’m sure the site took a fat percentage of the earnings, so technically they just replaced the pimps. And just like that my sympathy is gone…

And you imagine they’d just give the cure (whatever form that may be) away for free? That’s not what billionairs are known for! Can you imagine the calamity that such power would cause? People getting a personalized quote for curing managing their cancer, which will definitely include an “affordable” monthly payment. There is an applicable recent Black Mirror episode giving you an idea of a similar scenario.

No, if there is ever such an endevour, I sincerly hope it will be funded by public money and there may no patents come forth of the research or cure.

I’d say not before the bosses and shareholders agree to take 50% of their compensation in the form of AI tokens.

These fucking leeches…

bok-bok-bok-booaaak 🐔

Maybe they will, but this is beside the point. Regardless the forks, look at the wider response. I can’t imagine Linux users will accept this, not because of any thechnical impact or systemd haters hating. This is people actively preparing to make a stand against enshittification and techbros funded legistlation.
