It would require acting outside the confines of the law, because fascists aren’t bound by the law either. And the more the US government is made obvious to be a joke, the more people might finally get the fucking clue that institutions are meaningless when they don’t actually enforce the rules or provide meaningful support for what the working class actually needs, and they might eventually decide to do something about it.

That is, of course, hopeful thinking on my part, but I think it’s the only correct answer to “what can we do when an overt fascist has power”.

Additionally, on an interpersonal level, you need to find communities IRL if you don’t have them, and be defiant together. Don’t let these evil fucks normalize anymore bigotry or conspiracies than they already have. Even if social norms would dictate otherwise, call that shit out when it happens.

And don’t preemptively give up or resign your position if you hold some sort of influential role in society. Don’t make it easy for them. Every single bit of defiance makes it that much harder to impose the hell which they intend to inflict, which is in and of itself valuable.

The only time I ever have to even think about drivers is when I’m cursed with something from work that has to be written for, or done in Windows. Drivers on Linux are great if you don’t need something like an obscure piece of hardware, and even then, your odds are probably better than on Windows. .

That’s correct. If you use a custom domain for your aliases, you can take them with you when you leave.

I still use their domains though, for the last reason you mentioned. I’d be interested in knowing of there are any truly anonymous domains you can get (preferably without crypto nonsense).

Where do you get the nightly builds?

The desktop app can be used as a bridge for biometrics in the browser extension, but other than that, it basically serves no unique purpose unless and until they add autofill for desktop applications.

Totally fair. I’m curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.

Is the a downside to repacking the deb package? They’re basically just zip files of the same binary you’d run on most other Linux distros.

The problem isn’t isn’t solved by Biden or Harris being “strong” on the border, because it is the wrong problem.

The real problem is that democrats have accepted the right-wing framing on immigration, by laundering the far-right narrative that there is a border crisis and putting forward a far-right immigration bill that would give the president unilateral power to shut down the border.

Them capitulating to this narrative lends validity to patently racist propaganda, like we’re seeing with Haitian migrants and the “Venezuelan gangs” story.

Aside from the fact that demonizing minority groups being a morally disgusting thing to do, it’s really stupid political strategy for the democrats. Voters that are preoccupied with brown people coming into the country will vote overwhelmingly for Repugs every single time. Democrats will not be able to win over those people racists by trying to out-righting the Republicans.

The problem isn’t the democracy bit. It’s the enabling racism and genocide, being spineless, and blind trust in institutions and civility bit that could cost them the election.

Best we can do is laundering the far-right narrative that there is a crisis at the border and advocating for the far-right border bill that Republicans want.

Yeah. It’s scary to see how many freaks can be convinced otherwise are all over the place.

Thanks for sharing the actual license text.

To me, this stinks of companies knowing that if they’re actually required to reproduce the data, they’ll get hit with copyright infringement or other IP-related litigation. Whereas if they can just be trusted to very honestly list their sources, they can omit the sources they weren’t authorized to steal and reproduce content from, they can get away with it.

I think that, in practice, this means that the industry standard will be to lie and omit the incriminating data sources, and when someone tries to reproduce the model they won’t actually be able to, but they also won’t be able to easily prove one way or another if data was withheld.

Really, what should (but won’t) happen, is that we should fix our broken IP laws and companies should be held to account for when they engage in behavior that would be prosecuted as piracy or Computer Fraud and Abuse if you or I did it.

AI is pretty much the epitome of companies getting to act with impunity in the eyes of the law and exerting that power over everyone else, and it’s annoying to see it get a blessing from an “open source” organization.

“The new definition requires Open Source models to provide enough information about their training data so that a ‘skilled person can recreate a substantially equivalent system using the same or similar data,’ which goes further than what many proprietary or ostensibly Open Source models do today,” said Ayah Bdeir, who leads AI strategy at Mozilla.

Garbage. What this says to me is that they’re going to allow companies that create models that were trained on data that would be illegal for you and me to scrape and regurgigate, to keep the data to themselves as long as they “provide enough information” for someone else that lacks the resources or legal impunity that companies have to theoretically re-steal the data. Which, you know, means that the models won’t be reproducible by any reasonable standard, and can’t actually be called open source.

But the OSI is just a handful of companies in a trenchcoat, so I’m not surprised by what they would call “open”.

Dropsite News consists of former The Intercept journalists and they do really good work.

Also, anything that Mehdi Hasan does.

I’m on mobile, but I stand by what I said. Responding to someone that was responding to someone else that was being obstinate with average response when I ask for help is missing the actual point.

The OP that I quoted wanted to be combative, got a combative response, and then someone else you made it about “asking for help”, which is their your fault if they you think that this thread had anything to do with it.

No it literally doesn’t work it’s not compatible. Also don’t be a bitch…

That is a really interesting way of asking for help. Next time I need help, I’ll try being obstinate and predetermining that the thing I need help with just doesn’t work while calling them a bitch and see how that goes.

I usually try actually asking for help and refrain from calling the person I’m talking to a bitch.

Trump’s a Nazi, so supporting a genocidal ethnostate is perfectly ideologically consistent for him.

I think ethnostates are bad though, and only a dipshit or a monster would support them.

And justice was served. I got a whole $12 for their wrongdoing!

I think tankies say some pretty stupid shit too, but you shouldn’t doxx people. I think the link to their presumed employer is a step too far.

Also, being a “well-paid software engineer” and a Marxist is only contradictory if you don’t understand what Marxism is. Unless you are a part of the bourgeoisie (being well-paid is not the same thing), being a Marxist is a perfectly reasonable position to have.

The real problem is that many of the “”“Marxists”“” on this site seem to be more interested in American Diabolism and doing apologia for a different set of genocides (the few that America opposes).

Regardless, it’s bad to doxx people.

Is it? The FTL is restrictive about who is allowed to redistribute and modify anything covered by it. Is this data covered under a different license?
