@soatok aside from everything else, it's funny how paying for your encrypted email puts you at much greater risk than using the free tier. self-defeating business model, to an extent.

Afroman heads to court this month after deputies sued him for turning their unfounded raid on his home into viral music videos that exposed their faces and actions when he used his security camera footage of the raid.

The trial begins March 16 in Adams County, #Ohio, where the legal battle between the rapper and law enforcement has become a test case for free speech rights in the digital age.

Afroman’s argument is straightforward: he documented what happened to him and turned his story into art. #Law #FreeSpeech #Music

@fromjason I use a little script that creates a new YYYY-MM-DD.md file each day, and will append the current time to the file when I open it.

My editor (#Helix) can easily search/page through previous days, so I don't feel the need to keep everything in one file.

If I have a topic that I know I'll collect notes on over a long time span I'll just create a file for that topic.

“I then started in an empty repository with no access to the old source tree, and explicitly instructed Claude not to base anything on LGPL/GPL-licensed code.”

idk, it’s just baffling to me that a professional software developer who’s been maintaining a project for over a decade can so fundamentally misunderstand what LLMs do

This issue has it all!
- Original copyright holder makes a straightforward claim of violation
- Sloppers try to defend it using the Oracle v Google ruling
- Armin “Plausibly Deniable” Ronacher shows up to do nothing but sow doubt
- Maintainer in question replies with a response obviously written by Claude, saying he instructed Claude not to reference any copyrighted code

The proposed handling of LLM in Debian in the latest "Bits from the DPL" is a bit concerning. It misses the mark by acknowledging issues with LLM usage, and then dismisses them all by saying that "As a society, we rarely respond with categorical refusal. Instead, we regulate, reflect, and take responsibility for how we use them." and suggesting absolutely no regulation or reflection (and no particular responsibility other than that which comes with any contribution).

I'm not a Debian developer, just a longtime user (and upstream for an unimportant package). But if Debian isn't the principled, ethical one, then I'm guessing no one will be.

The most surreal thing about AI coding shit taking on is the revelation that so many people who do this thing that I love, seem to have no care for the craft at all. Even people who I would have pointed at, years ago, as those who clearly care. And I know it has always been Just A Job for many people, but holy shit, do you even care a little bit?
We humans are not merely bad at it, we have people who have been doing the work with no desire to be good at it in the first place.

This is the exact same pitch Facebook sold to its userbase when it began algorithmically changing what we saw on our newsfeeds.

There are a dozen or more ways to see more content from people important to you, least of all leaving it up to a black box algorithm that would need to collect data on who your friends and family are.

@cdarwin

Joe Neguse is spectacular!

Here he is questioning Kristi Nome today...

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?

Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board...

The more I explore new ways to tackle my notes and tasks for my day-to-day work, the more I realize that a single-file-type system is the answer.

For the past few years, I've used Notion to create an objectives -> projects -> tasks type of system and my biggest frustration is juggling all the files generated—locating, managing, and clearing them.

Working from a single file, where all I do is scroll to things, is working far better. The challenge is, when do I start a new file?
