OK, my apologies. I know starchy pasta water can dry out like this.

Great. Now to clean it.

Yes, even technically the photo is pretty bad.

basically free

What does that mean?

as long as git clone works

Granted, I still use code form github.

But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.

And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.

Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won’t be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn’t make us prophets.

Still not my favorite leader, but Macron says the right things wrt transatlantic relationships these days. I hope other EU countries’ leaders can put their pride* away and go along.

Any country that elects a person that’s obviously stupid, 100% corrupt, and completely evil cannot be trusted.

But it’s never the whole country; usually less than 50% of voters.

And IMO (and I’d appreciate your insights, since I’m not British) Brexit is a perfect example of how easy it is to manipulate a people with targeted content mostly on social media. Of course that sort of propaganda has always been a thing, but social media put it on overdrive, and most of it is perfectly legal even for politicians during elections.

Jetzt erst lerne ich dass Musk Russland bisher erlaubt hat Starlink zu nutzen. Was zum … und woher der Umschwung jetzt? Können wir hoffen dass das so bleibt?

I missed some piece of news in the past years - how come Russia uses Starlink? WTF Musk? Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?

Anyhow, this seems like a perfect entrypoint for people abroad who want to help Ukraine stay independent.

I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.

Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.

I’m sure he meant “…over the Epstein files”

Not only her. The infighting became very apparent at some point before the '24 election when it looked like The Don might have to go to prison, or otherwise be unable to run. For a few weeks, they were all at each other’s throats.

And it’s getting hotter under the surface as Trump is getting too frail/senile to govern.

Hmm. I thought Republicans Against Trump were a serious account, but can’t find evidence of that right now. Well, at least Republican Voters Against Trump are real.

In any case, I have no trouble believing what the headline says.

Also, Google criticizing others for using FOSS is the height of irony. But one that tracks very well with what they did to FOSS.

I didn’t mean it that way at all.

I meant that, to an unobserving and exceptionally dumb attendee, these parties could appear as “just parties” - or at least provide them with plausible deniality along these lines.

I have edited my previous comment to make that clearer.

Exactly. No MAGA cares about contempt charges; quite the opposite, they’d wear it like a badge of honor.

But still, one has to start somewhere. Or everywhere at the same time.

That tracks.

I had a thought about this whole pedo island thing. Maybe this was obvious to just about everybody else, but yeah:

The underage girls were just there at these parties. All the time. People didn’t necessarily come specifically because of them (or at least it appeared that way). But it was all very obvious: for many attendees, the main attraction is sexual abuse, and these girls are clearly younger than 18. Maybe a man would look at one of them and they’d disappear somewhere, whether that was planned beforehand or not. You don’t need to be a genius to understand what’s going on here.

This would mean that nobody who even went to one of these parties was innocent. At the very least, they were condoning what was happening. Pretending that these were just super cool VIP parties, whaddoyou mean pedophilia?

And of course the vast majority of them are lying about it now, as they probably did for decades.

But Epstein wasn’t quite careful enough wrt plausible deniability.

Anyhoo, the fact that the files still aren’t fully released and instead being used to keep people busy while the admin is dismantling democracy, needs to end.

IIRC this admin explicitely gives AI stuff a free pass for the next ten years.

As a European it annoys me that

• the EU is dead set to “not be left behind” wrt AI
• the main reason the US are ahead is because of shit like this
