I propose that in october we permanently shift all clocks back by only 30 minutes & then fucking leave them there forever after. And if you think that's somehow more absurd than the DST/SDT dance, please take a deep breath and remember that clock time is fake & was invented for trains. It'll be fine
happy international womenβs day to all the women and cis women out there! π₯°
The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.
Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and βmass surveillanceβ neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.
You are mistaken, we do not respond to legal requests from anywhere other than the Swiss authorities.
It is unlikely that one could build a business through ignoring the laws of the jurisdiction that it is in. The mail provider you're moving to included.
Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.
