You die

YES! PLEASE GOD GIVE ME OPEN SOURCE CARS!

Idk framework 16 seems pretty nice

I mean you’re right but you don’t have to be mean about it.

That’s really funny

They manufacture their own ammunition to attack trans people.

The FSF are the creators of the GPL license and the GNU project and arguably invented open source as a concept. The GNU project is essentially what makes up what we know as Linux (except for the kernel itself) as well as tons of other software including every GNOME application, GIMP, Emacs*, Bash, and plenty of others I can’t think of. They also offer assistance to developers when the GPL is violated.

I’d argue they are a little bit of a bouquet.

I can respect the speakeasy mindset

There has always been a tendency to switch to methods of doing things that are easier and worse. That does not make it okay, but it is a consistent pattern.

I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive, this is a different scale than we’ve seen before, but I don’t think it’s the end of open contribution.

As big as some individual corporations are, the world (including every other massive corporation) is much bigger.

You also started thinking about it, you started trying, and with some practice you’ll learn how to stop when you need to. It’s not about stopping, it’s about… a bunch of complex stuff because nothing in our brains has a simple straightforward explanation as much as we like to pretend it does.

A few nitpicks

Subpixels would not be perfectly monochromatic unless they were laser displays. Quantum dot can get kinda close though.

if mixing light additively didn’t create new colors then mixing paints subtractively wouldn’t either. the results of those processes still result in light that can activate our cones with combinations of wavelengths in the exact same way.

I think the semantics of what color light is doesn’t matter which wavelengths are used to produce it, but what it looks like. We don’t say something is yellow because it has wavelengths of light that look yellow on their own, we say something is yellow because it looks yellow. Likewise people use the term white light all the time when there’s no single wavelength that produces white.

Absolutely. There is no single wavelength of light being produced that would look yellow on its own, but yellow is the word we have for when our long and medium cones both get activated, and a display does produce light that does that. Yellow exists in our brains, so I think it’s pretty reasonable to say that either yellow exists somewhere in this process or no colors do.

I do have a couple questions. How should I categorize and structure civil rights issues in my head, is it just by demographic? Where does intersectionality fit into that? Are there easily accessible websites I can look at regularly that will kind of just keep me aware of things that are happening?

I am immersed in groups that are focused on consumer rights and privacy, but I would need somewhere to ease me into civil rights until I have a lot of the baseline knowledge in my head already. Most of the civil rights issues im clued in on are just issues that people who I know personally, and people they know, have to deal with, as well as things I come across on the internet naturally.

Yeah, I am very oblivious to many civil rights issues for instance. I guess it’s probably safe to assume I’m that kind of person to somebody out there, isn’t it?

It’s insane to me how little thought people put into things in their daily lives, because you’re right. So many people see a thing and they’re like “Oh, I see the thing. I’ll do the thing. Coke flavored mouthwash on my TV? Yeah, let’s do coke flavored mouthwash.” Literally just the first unfiltered, uncritical reaction they feel.

I had someone the other day tell me they didn’t want to use Firefox because when they did it gave them a bunch of security issues. When I asked what they meant it turned out the security issues in question were the browser asking them if they wanted to let different websites know their location, have access to webcam, etc. “Well I just don’t like that it does that”

I can’t wait for the money to dry up. It’s insane to me just how stupid people have been, trusting LLMs with anything whatsoever. These things cost so much money to run and they seem to fucking hypnotize investors into burning their money. Sooner or later the fact that they’re not making money has to catch up with them, right?
