I’m kinda dense, what’s the “only one reason for appointing an NSA director to your board”?

Crypto is a growing concern for a lot of people

What do you mean?

Oh ok, thanks. I thought it was a meme or something.

What’s the original?

This is a good question but I would just like to point out that 15 years ago nobody would have predicted that the questions we were asking and answering on stackoverflow would be used to train models (and that open source would have it’s license violated so brazenly) and that if you tried to delete your contributions because you didn’t want them to be used to train models you would get banned from the site, so even though adding a license to your comments might be meaningless, it might also be a powerful tool down the line. You never know how it’ll go.

Is Ubuntu enshittifying?

Wow good find. The revolving door in action.

Crazy that the proposed solution to propaganda is banning media instead of investing in education that promotes critical thinking. Or maybe the idea here is “no propaganda except mine”.

Their custom DNS is very ant-crypto. Janet Yellen is the personal resolver.

Why are they all trying to get labor for free then? They love free!

Bernie Sanders has been saying for 30 years that the bill is too damn long! Representatives get very limited time to read bills so they usually don’t and just vote along party lines. This is a form of deception and it’s intentional.
