@Bobbins shopping website should almost be easier, it doesn't have to be filled with trackers, ads & other malware that may occasionally earn fractions of a cent

it's a list of your real products you actually make that people can buy with real many dollars

Replace Ads with They Live style slogans

A fork of uBlock Origin Lite that, instead of hiding cosmetically-blocked ads, replaces them with white tiles bearing slogans from John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live: OBEY, CONSUME, WATCH TV, SLEEP, SUBMIT, CONFORM, STAY ASLEEP, BUY, WORK, NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT, DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY.

(Use the original @ublockorigin for safety!)

jesus fuck

torvalds isn’t making a small amount of money off of the AI companies funding the Linux Foundation. he’s making fucking *bank* forcing LLMs into the kernel development workflow and turning his project into slop.

it’s always interesting finding out exactly what number it takes to make these small men compromise on what they pretended were their core values, and for Linus that’s $1.5 million a year. $1.5 million to ruin the good work he was known for.

what number do you think it took the other maintainers to compromise on their proclaimed values and sell out their life’s work? I can guarantee you it was a lower number. Linus is a particularly high value target, and the devil’s deal from the AI corporations is that you’re supposedly accepting money in exchange for ushering in the future.

when a small man in power’s paycheck is contingent on believing he’s saving the world, you won’t convince him otherwise. https://tiny.tilde.website/@lykso/117083416791403736

Sauron, why'd you tell me to keep the palantír in my bathroom?

… No reason. Move it just a little to the left.

Once in their lifetime, every trans person who is physically and financially able is expected to make a pilgrimage to IKEA. This is known as the Blå Hajj.

@JamesPadraicR @cstross come on caleb, you're at least meant to put 1 joke in them

The "Problem" of novelty candidates is not with the candidates being able to run, or even potentially win elections.
The only "Problem" is that, someone with a bin on their head running on the platform of "I'm not Nigel Farage", is assessed, by significant numbers of voters, as a better option than the "serious" candidates.
If you want the novelty candidates to stop mattering, You have to have "serious" candidates voters can take seriously.
Not racist literacy tests, or high registration fees

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
