@takeshi_no_uta @GamersNexus Im holding on to my DDR4 backup ram like there is no tomorrow.

@GamersNexus Sacrificed his life for the stick's 😔

He was never seen online again

@dirgagames I was looking at the steam page and wondering why there isn't any engagement by the dev team regarding the discussions or the reviews?

@GregMozart @ID_AA_Carmack Yeah you know what I would agree with you, but Id trust people before I trust for-profit corporations any day of the week.

@ID_AA_Carmack I've always been in favor of open source economics, and opposed to patents. But when it comes to AI, I have had to make an exception. Because open weight models are like giving everyone biolabs and hope that no one does gain-of-function research. The GPUs are just dark compute.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

@brandonstlucas @ID_AA_Carmack Agreed. There should be some system to give back in that is part of the process of obtaining code. Thats not crypto related obviously..

I think it's important to acknowledge how disillusioning it can be when open source devs give their highly valuable time working on software everyone uses but nobody pays for, especially in a world where FAANG devs get paid handsomely to write spyware, adware, or do nothing.

@CryptoCyberia I use PopOS, its just fine, don't know what you are talking about.

These thumbnails are getting more ridiculous by the day. Also, I find it funny that LLMs told Linus to install PopOS, since that distro hasn't been recommended for many years now. I am guessing it's because the LLMs are using old Reddit data for training and don't weigh new posts

@simplemindscom You guys realize that hosting the "Everything is Possible" documentary on Paramount UK you are basically preventing anyone outside of the UK from experiencing this work? Please consider not using companies that gate-keep media. Release to disc

@MMatt14 Good luck with that.

>The Verge doesn't need any explanation

@tomwarren Did anyone think any differently?

Microsoft has confirmed it will hand over BitLocker encryption recovery keys to the FBI. You definitely should not be accepting Microsoft’s default of storing BitLocker keys in the cloud when signing into Windows with an MS account theverge.com/news/867244/mi…

@ozgrozer @thekitze What do you mean no soul? expand on that my friend because Im not seeing it.

@thekitze rich text is better and also yeah obsidian has no soul x.com/ozgrozer/statu…

I love markdown but obsidian is not it

@nefthy @thekitze Yes if you want everything to be in nested list format. Not my style, but yea its a powerful app.

@thekitze Logseq works quite nicely for my note stuff as I go style.

@thekitze I think too many people confuse Obsidian to be just a note taking app. Its more of a personal knowledge management solution and in that regard, its bar none,

Gee. I thought @Palantir didnt do surveillance against the public?k I thought they just made tech for the military? @GamersNexus talked with them and the outright said they don't. Guess their lying, as usual. eff.org/deeplinks/2026…

I just signed a petition: No Funding for ICE Surveillance Tech! Sign here: fftf.link/ICEFunding?sou…

ICE agents are leveraging a multi-billion dollar panopticon to surveil and terrorize our communities. Tell Congress to defund ICE now! fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-fun…

In my "Retiring Windows 10 and Microsoft's move towards a surveillance state" article, I am recommending, if possible, to leave Microsoft behind and adopt Linux as replacement for Windows. Microsoft's anti-consumer changes to windows warrants it scottrlarson.com/publications/p…

When an administration can sanction a foreign judge that is trying to prosecute Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against humanity maybe its time to call all party's out for using or support law to harm the public good heise.de/en/news/How-a-…

I just sponsored MSzturc on Github. He created an awesome slideshow plug-in for Obsidian

This administration is using the whole restructuring and efficiency thing to push forward crimes against humanity. bbc.com/news/articles/…
