@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?

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.

Genuinely devastating take to see from someone who popularized the GPL across so many communities. Fails to appreciate the social and cultural importance of the license.

@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.

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

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…

@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,

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-…
