The writer of this website and people like them should be removed from having any amount of power and relevance in software development. That is, if you want to do software work instead of bikeshedding with bad faith struggle sessions.

The only reference to specific information about these weapons described that they were intended to target Hamas. The title amd rest of the content is quite misleading.

Ah yes, the big tech propaganda that undermines their entire business model. Without copyright, you would be free to modify or alter any data collection capabilities of tech you purchase.

Copyright does no such thing. The copyright owner is free to alter or change their material at any time, or to discard it and force it to remain unused until it deteriorates and is destroyed (e.g. video game preservation is mostly done by c

>Why you want to reduce value of creative work, but not a value of other assets? The framing isn't charitable. People want to weaken copyright because it is a government granted monopoly. There are negative economic effects (i.e., f

No, they are not. That wont stop an enlightened anarchist or antifascist from insisting that they are, and lying about this to as a pretext for their violence.

They would. But second order effects ensure that this very act leads to the decline of housing prices. These effects being eliminated by rent control makes it the premier anti-tenant policy.

Antifascism and anticapitalism are necessarily violent. You can't resist nazis without punching them back. You can't stop capitalism without expropriating the expropriators.

The popular conception may or may not be correct. The social function of democracy, on the other hand, was described by Hume as allowing for a peaceful rather than a violent means for the transfer of power. To the extent that the socialis

Election denialiam can and should mean more than just the current thing. If you want to use a proprietary definition, then so can I. It is not less dangerous because you include Marxist delusions like "capital" in your description

>Election denialism is about rejecting official election results. That would be the implication of such statements as "our democracy has been subverted by the big corporate conspiracy".
15.
by sophrosyne42 21d ago
Yes it is. If you insist that the result of a democratic election does not reflect the will of the people, that , and nothing else, is election denialism.

There is no functional difference between the statement "democracy is subverted by a grand corporate conspiracy" and "our elections are invalid", because the only way the former happens is if the latter happens. If the l

This is a well known mathematical property of first-past-the-post election systems, as opposed to evidence of your grand conspiracy theory

It really takes a lot of magical thinking to believe we can just implement UBI without any costs. Notice that when you open your mouth, there is no roast chicken that flies in.

A lot of plugin systems are like that. (See the hyprland, noctalia, or vim/neovim's plugin systems). More generally, how else would a small project allow plugins that isn't "here is a way to add code" and then anyon

The definition issue cuts both ways. It is just as much an issue for those insisting that LLMs are intelligent/conscious in some way.

When the build system expects a certain metadata which is removed by the force pushes or tag removal, then that is arguably not the preferred form. Grapheneos notes this elsewhere in the thread. [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.c

You take it for granted that everyone agrees with you that what you regard as addictive or radical should be restricted by the government. These are not facts-of-the-matter, but opinions, and opinions for which there is disagreement, and fo

Ok, take it the other way. You want to marry someone? Make sure the government approves for your safety. Want to make dinner? First you have to send the recipe to your local overseer with proof of your safe cooking credentials or you will
