In the US, politicians are rarely in on the schemes themselves, they get money more indirectly from lobbyists, superPACs, or insider trading. Are politicians in the UK not able to profit from their votes?

Scrolls for me.

And even if the AI fails to make any improvements, they will still have aggregated a bunch of global manufacturing under one roof, theirs.

This is sick! Thanks for sharing your project with us! I would have never guessed you could do voice over TOR but PTT was a clever solution. Its like the old nextel phones that had PTT. I wonder if its possible to remap the volume button to be a hardware PTT button.

Would we have OpenTofu if terraform didn’t exist (or the other examples)? They got VCs to fund an open source project, it was a useful tool(probably), the founders got rich, and OpenTofu is now FOSS. Yeah its a run around but the end result, VC funded open source, seems pretty good.

It had politics in the title. But yeah it could be argued that it was more meta, idk.

F-droid builds everything from source so I trust the binaries.

Speaking of which, I donate to f-droid.

This is the output of an LLM? I’m just assuming from the username.

I’m not mad, I’m impressed.

I have a day job

There are some good swimming holes to be found… and some wrecked cars and trash.

Strictly speaking this breaks rule 2 and probably rule 1. But I get that it’s meant to be meta so I’ll leave it up to see if people complain.

Ha, you felt this so strongly that you reported it for being “painfully accurate”.

I guess I can’t please everyone.

I would like the community to be a place for respectful discussion so in general that’s how I try to moderate.

This community is my first experience being a mod so I’m sure there are better ways to do it.

Thanks for the update!

No worries, thanks for updating

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title.

Would you be able to update the title?

Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title. Also, be mindful of rule 3, no politics.

I know a few people that are trans or on a similar journey. I never thought any of them had an agenda, they were just living their lives.

One of them came out publicly while I was working closely with them. They sent out an email informing everyone what their new name was, what their preferred pronouns were, and it included an FAQ with some links with more information. It had to be a super scary thing to do but they understood that it’s something new for a lot of people, myself included, and they were happy to talk about questions people had. People were very welcoming. Of course there was some office gossip but it all quickly died down and it never came up again (that I heard). No agenda, just people living.

If a co-worker had continued using the trans person’s old name, yeah I’m sure that would be harassment. Not respecting someone’s wishes for themselves is typically harassment (at a minimum).

Yeah that’s a helpful perspective to hear

I don’t love the second half of this post, it seems like bait to bring out the worst in people, but so far all of the comments seem to be keeping things civil and avoiding the bait.

Thanks all.
