I agree, but it's all relative. This is coming from Biden who has been a huge supporter of Israel, letting them do pretty much whatever they want to do since forever. This seems like a huge step for the man, given where he's coming from.
edit: Just realized I wasn't super clear. I was referring to the consequences part and how even if we want that, just Biden saying something as was reported is a pretty big step from where we were. I pretty much agree completely with @mozz@mbin.grits.dev.

Looks like it's really good at text. I'll be interested to see the finetunes that come out for it. I'm worried that it will be too big to fit in the GPU on my AI server though. I only have 12 GB at my disposal.

It is much easier to buy one "hefty" physical machine and run ProxMox with virtual machines for servers than it is to run multiple Raspberry Pis. After living that life for years, I'm a ProxMox shill now. Backups are important (read the other comments), and ProxMox makes backup/restore easy. Because eventually you will fuck a server up beyond repair, you will lose data, and you will feel terrible about it. Learn from my mistakes.

supports Israel’s right to defend itself
Yeah, that's not wrong.
AND that Israel is killing and starving innocents civilians
Yeah, also not wrong. Because in this instance Israel isn't defending itself. They're not taking out imminent threats; at least not exclusively. They're using an attack to justify imperialism and genocide. We even have a very recent example of how that's usually a disaster for everyone involved.

I like the idea of getting private money out of news. Creating a hard doctrine of "fairness" is just not possible. Sometimes there are not two sides to the truth, and we wouldn't want to pin in the media outlets if the truth demands a firm stance.

Hopefully the rube that gets put in the dictator's position gets the memo. A true believer might get the idea that they're bound by the same religious bullshit as the rest of us.

This makes me think that the religious theocracy will all be a farce. Something meant to punish the lower classes while the upper classes get to live in a parallel liberal society. I mean surely these billionaires realize that in a true christofascist state they'd lose all the opulence and hedonism available to them now. Seems like something they wouldn't want to risk.

I swear to god half the country has been talking about it non-stop for almost a decade now. What do you mean no one is talking about?! We're talking about it! Just because we've started talking about a new thing doesn't mean we stopped talking about the old thing!

Let's be honest here: they want a human to abuse. They want to be shitty to and verbally assault someone that they view as being "lower" than them. If the AI works well (a different conversation) then people will get over any trepidation they have rather quickly. The people that are legitimately upset will just miss having someone to put down for "only" working customer service.

The Supreme Court isn't really interested in arguments, it seems. They're starting at conclusions and working backwards. In a sane world, you're probably right with the logic. But in a sane world we wouldn't have made it to this point to begin with.

I'm gonna be real. I dont think home directory files should handled by something named tmpfiles.
But... but... it was in the documentation! /s
What killed me about the whole thing was how defensive the dev was about the whole thing, basically calling the reporter a moron for running a command without extensive knowledge of the entire system. I don't care how good the documentation is, if open file

You'll have to forgive me, as I haven't tested this personally on Linux yet, but this webcam is a USB 3 device and doesn't have any special drivers. It should work plug-n-play.
The reason I bring it to your attention is that it has a nice physical lens for focusing, aperture, and zoom; all separate. It's 4k 30 fps and I can confirm that the picture is really nice.

Because I don't know why it is closed source. Is it a personal project? A private project? A sensitive project? I don't see a moral imperative for any of those to be free and open to all users.

If I release something free of restrictions to the world as a gift, that is my prerogative. And a third party's actions don't affect my ability to do whatever I want with the original code, nor the users of their product's ability to do what they want with my code. And the idea of "property" here is pretty abstract. What is it you own when you purchase software? Certainly not everything. Probably not nothing. But there is a wide swath in between in which reasonable people can disagree.
If you are an intellectual property abolitionist, I doubt there is much I can say to change your mind.

I'm not sure what you are referring to about ontologically bad. Has someone said this?
I'm going by the vibe of the comments of people here who are generally anti-MIT. That the very nature of allowing someone to use your code in a closed-source project without attribution is bad. Phrasing it as "hiding their copyright infringement", for example, implies that it is copyright infringement per se regardless of the license or the spirit in which it was released.

Not all of us write code simply for monetary gain and some of us have philosophical differences on what you can and should own as far as the public commons goes. And not all of us view closed derivatives as a ontologically bad.
