Not a hamster but when I had gerbils, one had eaten half of the other. Not long afterwards the cannibal developed a severe middle ear infection which killed her even during treatment.

Given they've already floated ethnically cleaning the area it seems like things are about to get worse before they get better for sure.

If there's one foreign influence we don't need, it's Elon Musk's apartheid nostalgic nonsense. The sooner he blows himself up the better.

An opinion brought to you by somebody who's never done a real day's work in her life.

the guy who thinks detonating masses of nuclear warheads on a planet is likely to make it more habitable rather than less

There should be a "saving thirty minutes in reading documentation by spending two days debugging a GPT generated method"

Yeah I used to use Ubuntu as a Linux desktop a few years ago. I just came back to install Fedora on my desktop and the whole process was super easy. Even for gaming, Nvidia drivers, Steam with proton, etc. all set up with zero command line interaction, troubleshooting or even looking up guides or anything. It was intuitive and works.

Literally the hardest part was I couldn't find my USB stick and ended up improvising with an old SD card as installation media.

The compatibility for gaming on Linux today is generally really good. The whole experience is really polished.

In historical context (especially without technological verification of where goods are ending up, counterrevolutionary presence and so on) I totally see why Lenin felt all this was necessary, extraordinarily strict criteria and all.

I hope when we see a socialist revival in Europe, we are able to leverage less personally invested measures such as those proposed in Stafford Beer's work. Hopefully we can efficiently measure inputs and outputs to the economic and state machinery and use that as cause for inspection rather than making it a day to day business, and in general make things robust to differences in ideology. Use technology to enhance the efficiency of bureaucracy rather than introducing potential conflicts of interest by combining worker organisations with the state/party.

But these things may be easier said than done.

Some LLMs have specific jailbreaks which including in the document may cause them to act strangely in a way that is specific to the LLM. But it's unlikely to be robust over time as they get patched/changed/etc.

Strictly speaking these all do something similar-ish at face value but actually quite different in terms of mechanism and target. I think the unpopularity of a lot of these licensing structures is also down to lack of legal verification in a lot of cases.

The illegality possibility does warrant careful consideration, but I suspect in many cases regimes which would oppose this kind of license would be making the use and enforcement of software fairly selective in any case. If it is made illegal, it's made illegal by the respective government, not the software author or license writer.

A question is then raised as to what degree the implied open source requirement that open source should be leveraged by e.g. Nazis actually benefits developers and users. Or whether it is in effect a kind of appeasement as no doubt use which contradicts those values (and hence promotes freedom) is illegal already. Those uses which are orthogonal to that aim may be selectively targeted for arbitrary reasons such as the identity of the user.

Strictly speaking I think such provisions would be unenforceable in those circumstances anyway so doesn't the effect kind of cancel out? Don't get me wrong I get where you're coming from but why would we imagine such a license has an effect in nations that are already hostile to those ideas and probably have broken judicial systems anyway?

It is ok to question the benefits of open source provisions. They are written by humans and are fallible.
