Tells you to eat every planet, creates plants that are fatally poisonous to humans.

That God fella sure is strange.


Nah he just created all the plants/fruits/etc. and then gave them to Adam and Eve without an instruction manual. Never told them to eat anything in particular. I think it was still a nice gesture.


What percentage of those people could never read above a certain grade level? Could 100% of humans eventually, with infinite resources and time, all be geniuses? Could they read and comprehend all the works produced by mankind?

I'm curious.


No but they could probably read better. Just look at the best education systems in the world and propagate that. Generally, all countries should be able to replicate that.


The only difference is that the people getting upset about this stuff is money. They hate the idea that someone is making money off their work. Even if the sum of their work amounts to a penny. They're just angry.

In 50 years they'll be useless anyway when computers are just plotting every iteration and combination of 1's and 0's that might be.

I too see no difference in machines learning from the works of others than man standing on the shoulders of those before them to reach higher plateaus.

It's all a big to-do about nothing.


I for one don’t care if anyone makes money from my code. It’s released as Free Software as a reason. I wrote something I needed, and I release it to the world to help other people.

However, when you look at the license of the software I release, there are some terms I put forward. In short, it’s called GPLv3+ or AGPLv3+ depending on the thing I have written. You can use/develop/fork/integrate/sell it. I don’t care, as long as you obey the license terms.

Don’t obeying these terms, and running with the code is wrong. Even if you put the laws aside, that’s unethical. This is what makes my blood boil.

I do not develop software as a job. I do it as a side quest, and more importantly as research. I don’t want my research to be laundered and closed down, but be available and free as much as possible. This is why I use copyleft licenses.

If you care about developer freedom, you write Open Source code with permissive licenses. If you care about users’ freedom, you write Free Software with copyleft licenses.

I care about users’ freedom, not developers’ freedom to rip any code and embed into their code bases, which permissive licenses are designed for.

This blatant selfishness of “we are doing something great, we need no permission” is angering me.

Otherwise, get my scrappy code and make a million dollars with it. As long as you obey the license, I don’t care. On the contrary, I applaud you.


I miss the time before everybody was on the Internet when it was mostly like minded techie types. This modem internet kinda sucks with all its AI generated racism.


And you'll survive. You'll build the cornerstones of future civilization! They'll erect statues of you!

And then in 100 years they'll curse you and tear down those statues because they found out you ate the last kangaroo in order to survive.


This can't be true. I'm reading all these positive accolades for Andor in this thread and there's no way I'm watching it.

Star Wars after Jedi is garbage. Lucas got me with those awful prequels and Disney got me with the first 2 new movies. I will never watch another Star Wars anything outside of the original 3 movies.

Either you never really abandon your Star Wars fandom or you're lying. There can be no other choice.

One cannot be shat upon by corporate hucksters that much and still think, "okay. I'll give 'em one more chance to shit in my eyes and ears"

Is just not possible.


Lol ok calm down. I agree with your quality assessment broadly, but I just finished Andor and it's excellent.


Like stealing money under threat of force from many individuals and handing it over to some random scammer?

That kind of immoral act? You might not be as decent a person as you might think.


I'm not Christian and I don't want a federal ID. I don't even want a state ID but I will eventually be taken to prison if I continually get caught driving without one.

Coincidentally and/or anecdotally I've never had my identity stolen.


Can't a raspberry pi (or similar) emulate a USB keyboard? Feed it any text and the key strokes will look real to your editor.

I guess you could require a special encrypted keyboard in your plan.


Isn't Android Linux based? The development of chrome on desktop Linux have any benefits for mobile Linux?


The other way around.

"development of chrome on desktop Linux have any benefits for mobile Linux?"

Android is the big market, that gets prime support.

Otherwise android and linux desktop just share the kernel (and not even the same one).

So the developement of chrome on android probably makes it a bit easier to target linux desktop, but not much.

(I still don't have WebGPU on my linux desktop but since quite a while on my old android phone)


Dolphin Browser was the go-to in the late 2000s for Android.
