I have multiple contributions to FOSS projects (incl. small patches to bash and linux), and I’m a commit-access maintainer of Nixpkgs. While I do use a local LLM occasionally for boilerplate stuff, the attitude here makes me immediately distrustful of the Lutris maintainers. Going out of your way to disable the Claude Co-Authored-By on commits is counterproductive and dangerous to the project in the long run. LLMs can often confidently spit out good-looking code with subtle but critical flaws. Commits with non-trivial amounts of LLM output need way more scrutiny than human-written commits, and making it more difficult to tell the two apart is fucked up.

I also dislike Iran’s political system, but overall the US has killed, maimed, tortured and ruined the lives of many more people then Iran’s government ever could. US is currently the most evil country on this planet, and has been in the running ever since its founding.

But even then, let’s suppose for a second that somehow Iran’s government is more evil. So what? Bombing Tehran city center, destroying mosques and museums, causing an immense ecological disaster by blowing up oil reservoirs, and double-tapping an all-girls school with tomahawks will not help the people of Iran in any way. It made their lives measurably, verifiably worse for generations.

Sorry if I’m being whooshed, but literally https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1901/witbd/

US has been doing the exact same shit to leftists ever since the founding of USSR, this is not new. Sadly the tea party people have nothing to worry about.

$3.68/gal is just under $1/L, or 0.85€ / L. Still insanely cheap.

Ok, so correct me if I’m wrong, but usually the reason you do this is because the cost to produce this benefit is lower than the price you usually sell it for, so you can inflate the claimed value of the benefit, both to appeal to candidates and to write it off on your taxes. But at the moment tokens are usually sold way below cost (i.e. the companies are not profitable), so why the fuck would any company do this? Are they this short on cash now?

Between this and GrapheneOS+Motorola thing, is Lenovo becoming less shit again? Awesome!

I can’t remember the site, now, but I literally couldn’t log into one this week because the email never arrived.

Well, email allows you to solve that issue by self-hosting. But what you can’t solve is that if you do self-host, gmail will drop your emails to spam or just discard them completely, just because it feels like it, even if you do the whole dance with DMARC and have used the domain for a good few years. It’s frustrating as shit.

Don’t forget the Ukraine war and the ongoing social, health and economic consequences of the pandemic.

Trump is a dumb, racist, idiotic pile of pedophile shit, but US wasn’t doing great before him either.

You’re about 2 weeks too late for that, US&Israel have committed multiple war crimes already.

The previous bush-era logic of “Dave slapped me because I was an asshole to everyone in the class, so now I’m going to torture and kill Rick who kinda looks like Dave to me” was not much better

Well, technically the condition was to expel the israeli and US ambassadors. This is the other way around, and AFAIK withdrawing your own ambassador is considered a less aggressive move than expelling the ambassador of the other country. And either way I strongly doubt they will do anything about their US relationship. So this seems to be just a based thing to do rather than trying to comply with iranian demands

edit: it seems israel already withdrawn their ambassador from Spain last May, so this move now feels completely unrelated to the demands.

This is a really naive take - this amendment (which requires message scanning to be targeted) passed with a slim majority and could well have failed. In that case the existing mass surveillance (“voluntary scanning”) would probably keep happening at least until 2028.

The council meanwhile is overwhelmingly pro-message-scanning, and they (together with the commission) are the ones who are pushing to break e2e encryption. There will now be talks between the three institutions to decide on how to proceed. Sadly I expect that some “compromise” will be reached eventually.

Poland, Lithuania and a few others became “the west” very recently, and didn’t get in on colonialism directly; hence “most” in my claim.

I get your point, but if you actually go out and speak with women who trust you, chances are they will all have multiple stories of harassment and/or SA that will make your skin crawl. It’s not just fearmongering, there are a lot of awful men out there (in absolute terms)

I’m surprised how many (well-meaning) men are clueless about this horrible aspect of life which is so universal for women.

By that logic it should be “peanut butter substitute” as well

Literally anything is better than coal, oil and gas. Renewables are the cheap option to produce energy when possible, and nuclear is insurance for base load in case we never quite figure out grid storage at scale.

It didn’t start out from a good place either. US in the 70s was still homophobic, racist, and bombed the shit out of middle east. Reminds you of anything?

Google’s data quality is shit. Even openstreetmap figured out how to (mostly) normalize names of chain establishments.

No idea :) I’m not familiar enough with the Iranian/Persian culture to even make a guess.
