  I’m not in favor of killing. I just think that religion should be something that is private, if you have it. I hate living in the Bible belt where there are churches every 5 feet, but only 1 library and 1 school.

  All of the Yaweh cults are. For us to advance as a species, such nonsense need be purged.

  “Tesla commits fraud to void warranties.”

  There FTFY.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia is giving AI developers its data to fend off bot scrapers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there not some way to just blacklist the AI domain or IP range?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Is A Systemic Risk To The Tech Industry.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to see the tech industry implode.

  I wonder of this can be used against databrokers? My info is intimate and non consensually posted online.

  I hope Europe’s response is “fuck you”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google give a 71% discount to US federal agencies for Workspace, as it looks to capitalize on the Trump administration's cost-cutting push.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The government has had their own servers and messaging applications since the internet began. There’s no good reason to ditch what they had in favkr of an inferior product like Microsoft or Google’s web mail.

  What we used when I was there 20 years ago was vastly more secure because we rolled our own encryption (literally used mylar punch tape to load it into a device and diatribute it to the network.)

  It was resistant to jamming and interception because it worked on a rolling set of keys that changed hundreds of times per second. (frequency hopping)

  We owned the .gov and .mil domains and administered them ourselves.

  Moving to an external corporation is less secure, and costs more money for the tax payers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is about to launch Recall for real this time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t effect me. I’ve been pure Linux for a while now. I also doubt that the average user will leave Windows. They’ll just suck it up and give away their privacy for convenience, just like they always have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google give a 71% discount to US federal agencies for Workspace, as it looks to capitalize on the Trump administration's cost-cutting push.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have their own programs to do all that. They have had them since outlook was just a client and before Microsoft and Google offered email services.

  The government should be using FOSS software simply to be a good stewart of our tax money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google give a 71% discount to US federal agencies for Workspace, as it looks to capitalize on the Trump administration's cost-cutting push.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is also Libre Office. If they were serious about cutting government waste, they wouldn’t use Microsoft or Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google give a 71% discount to US federal agencies for Workspace, as it looks to capitalize on the Trump administration's cost-cutting push.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope they don’t fall for it, but I’m sure they will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU: These are scary times – let's backdoor encryption!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Signal said they will jist pull out of any country that demands a back door.

  Back doors don’t work. Just ask American telecom companies to talk about how easy it was to get Salt Typhoon out of their back door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV is watching you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mainly play Final Fantasy XIV. I assume they don’t hit up DNS, but they’re not open source, so we can only hope they don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your TV is watching you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does pi hole slow down games?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨- Buy Once Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I go to my favorite software’s pages from time to time to see what they’re up to. Also, there are a few pieces that I have to visit the site for news when a non-free dependancy updatea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t want to give those fuckers money. If I just use uBlock, the ad is never seen, thus no sale is made and the slimy ad company gets money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This would just give money to the advertisers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨- Buy Once Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of them have a donate button on their download page.

  Discover FOSS software. Just be sure to toss some donations to your favorite projects.
