Or maybe fixating on one literal aspect instead of the context is missing the forrest for the trees.

Isn’t that the idea behind the GPL? To make it so even if a community behind a codebase regressed into that dynamic a different community can decide to fork it.

And how is the programming language you choose to use a political statement?

Consider the following as one example:

Most programming languages are english-centric and even the ones that support unicode for defining variables and method statements might not support right to left languages. Then there are different numeric systems that are culturally based. These technical decisions have a social impact that makes it more difficult for other cultures to interact with the codebase by increasing the barrier of entry. Does this mean i stop writing code in python or Javascript for work? No, because that would be too difficult and high of a cost. But i don’t deny the social and political impact of these decisions.

There are key distinctions between the movement of the earth and a train, one of which is that humans are in control of the speed, timing, and direction of trains. All those aspects are influenced by politics, unlike the rotation of the earth. But you get the jist, it is impossible for a human to stand still in a political sense.

In the comments: Enlightened centrists acting like you can stand still on a moving train.

Shit man, some days I rolled out of bed only because of political spite. The world is run by those who show up.

The idea of rewarding their ill gotten gains has me thinking it should be a running man type show and the distance from the finish line is 1 mile for every billion

Now that would be a reality TV show I might watch

There’s no readme so I don’t really understand what this is for. Plenty of proxy solutions already exist…

Edited within the same minute, and carries the same sentiment. Newsom won’t save us, we save us. I literally just returned from a community meeting to respond to ICE escalating in Fresno California, and our elected representatives were absent. Continue chirping pal.

Homer Simpson: the lowest point so far

It’s easy when you don’t pay attention to the news.

Theory doesn’t work in real life.

Some of what they deleted is just taking out the trash.

If you want to challenge them without getting deleted, ask them why Russia doesn’t conduct themselves more like China when it comes to foreign aggressions.

I suspect we won’t know their real state of finances until they go public and are held to a higher standard for their accounting practices: https://www.wheresyoured.at/anthropics-profitability-swindle/

Or their apathy towards IQ tests.

Good in what sense? Consider that people do better on an IQ test if you offer to pay them more based on their performance. One might conclude that Gen Z values the IQ test than prior generations, or it could be reflective of the environment having more food swamps.

For real. It’s a fine example of reading while being illiterate.

Both things can be true: that IQ is not a good index to use in this context and that other measurements have shown cognitive decline.

No that doesn’t make IQ a good measurement of intelligence. Volumes have been written on this and how it is more a measurement of one’s heritable environment. Source: I am a millennial with an above average IQ.

Wouldn’t that reduce the dragon fly population as well (who eats mosquito larva)?
