They still stole more STEM talent from developing countries than they lost

I’m annoying

Like, in general.

hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it. In other words, a judge gave the FBI permission to attempt to bypass biometrics

This isn’t bypassing biometrics. This is using biometrics as intended. Bypassing implies this was an unexpected side effect when every security researcher ever has warned that biometrics is intrinsically vulnerable and a terrible password substitute for this exact reason.

My dream Linux gaming setup would be a fully configured isolated container that can be run on any host OS. Games are the prime candidates for containerization because they’re all proprietary, and there’s absolutely no reason a game needs user level permissions or to interact with any other program on the system.

Imagine if you could just pull the OGC container from a public registry on your distro of choice, run your game, and then just shut it down when you’re done.

I suspect the biggest barrier would be sufficiently low overhead GPU access though.

News flash: the things the Linux (open source in general) community fight about are also fought between developers of proprietary software. But you only see some of those fights because the others are either “trade secrets” you have to sign in blood not to reveal, or are in the form of corporate competition, sabotage, and lock-in instead of heated but usually still civil discussion where bridges and compatibility layers can still be built between even completely opposing camps.

As long as China and by extension socialism remain the evil boogieman, the Western ruling class will NEVER be threatened by the people they rule. That’s why they must make you think China is bad by any means. The West does anything? China is worse so you can’t complain. People will be walked into volcanos chanting “at least it’s not China!”

The instant people in the West stop pearl clutching about China (not even support them, not even not dislike them, just stop caring about a country half a world away and focus on how bad life in the West really is regardless of how well or poorly China is doing) is the instant the bourgoisie becomes endangered.

What about the IP issues? Not even talking about the “ethics” of “ip theft via AI” or anything, you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code. Doesn’t matter if they’re doing the same to a much greater degree, all that matters is they have the resources to sue open source projects and not the other way around. If a tech company can get rid of the competition by abusing the legal system, you just know they will, especially if they can also play the "they’re knowingly letting their users use pirated media that we own with their software” card on top of it.

In America the justice system leans strongly in favour of the defence (unless you’re poor, but we’ll put that aside for now)

Neat trick the tankies hate: the West is perfect if you just say that the biggest counterexample is irrelevant!

There’s definitely an algorithm that decides if any arbitrary algorithm will halt or not (unless you feed its own source code back into itself, but we’ll put that aside for now).

Fuck Apple

This makes me want to use GrapheneOS more. If the dataminers don’t want you to use it then it must be doing something right.
