The point is to counter the dumb “I have nothing to hide” statement. It simply isn’t true. If that evolves into a deeper convo, good.

And then your coworkers think you’re IT challenged because you don’t even know how to do the simplest things. (true story)

Sorry for unsolicited advice, but:

It’s usually about consequences. At that age, they react to actions much more than to words.

And more generally, they need to learn that words have meaning, too. There’s way too many parents who just lazily shout “KEVIIIN, STOP THAT!” without any sort of follow-up. Not saying you do that though.

Bless your heart.

I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.

* depends on the amount of course

Yeah exactly. It’s a scolding. Something certain types have learned to ignore in their teens.

Ah, 2016. Those were the days. It was all new and fresh and we never thought the USA would get to this point. The troll of yore is a dicktater now.

What we knew for years, huge swaths of the gen pop still have to learn.

And how did X get there?

He should trademark his ability to put more and more taxpayer money into his personal coffers.

I also want to see DJT and Donald J. Trump International Airport graffitied everywhere now, just to fuck with him. Mentions in songs and of course social media.

Hey, you wouldn’t pirate a Trump!

Supreme court as in SCOTUS? This is big. Trump, you went too far. Your very own yes-people decided against you.

I wish they’d be just as critical of all the other fascism happening in the USA.

basically free

What does that mean?

as long as git clone works

Granted, I still use code form github.

But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.

And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.

Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won’t be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn’t make us prophets.

Thought experiment: near 100% of facebook users are such bots. Watch them interact with each other unfettered and see where it mutates.

Bonus interview with the one real facebook user left.

Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but also a precise depiction of what’s going to happen a decade later.

I missed some piece of news in the past years - how come Russia uses Starlink? WTF Musk? Wasn’t he trying to take that away from Ukraine at some point?

Anyhow, this seems like a perfect entrypoint for people abroad who want to help Ukraine stay independent.

I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.

Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.

Not only her. The infighting became very apparent at some point before the '24 election when it looked like The Don might have to go to prison, or otherwise be unable to run. For a few weeks, they were all at each other’s throats.

And it’s getting hotter under the surface as Trump is getting too frail/senile to govern.

Plus the irony of criticizing others for utilizing FOSS.
