I think he cleared the very low bar of being better for unions than Obama, Clinton, or Carter, despite literally breaking a rail strike. So that’s the best in over 50 years. I have found myself wondering if I might not be a communist if he had gotten elected in 2008 instead of Obama because he genuinely seemed more open to making progressives happy at first.

Is that why search results are getting so much worse so fast and it tells you to eat rocks to stay healthy?

Wow, there’s like 8 cents of candy in there. Very cool.

If I understand what fancyzones is, I think people make plugins for gnome and kde that are like Fancyzones. There’s also entire window managers that are like scriptable fancyzones.

I am a bit over my head on what ActivityPub is capable of, but I imagine you could use ActivityPub, for something like a GitHub clone, to distribute git commits pertaining to AGPL licensed source code across federated instances of the application.

The hexbear terms of service forbids anyone to “Use the Services to harvest, collect, gather or assemble information or data regarding the Services or users of the Services except as permitted in these Terms or in a separate agreement with Hexbear”. Of course anyone can violate the rules, especially if they bury it in the plausible deniability of a LLM. But should we just accept that and lay the user data out for big tech companies to leverage?

The right is starting to get better at comedy and it’s making lefties nervous.

They should ban the other antivirus programs too so it’s a start.
