If they were serious about making an economy that lifted everyone up, they’d change course.

Behold.

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

I too was afflicted by lack of everything bagel seasoning this morning. I made my own version with sesame seeds which I did have on hand.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.

It's both disingenuous to celebrate Proton (who are a business making money in a friendly nation) as bulletproof, and to compare them to Google, who make money by mining your email content. Understand your threat model and message accordingly. www.404media.co/proton-mail-h...

the harder the industry invests on pushing narratives of AI as (only) positive, inevitable, and inherently good for society/business, the more any criticism of this narrative becomes “too radical”, “unworkable” and “unrealistic”

reasonably sure this is the first time a regional government agency has launched a new service with an elaborate broadway musical parody

Screenshot of the blog post intro:

Permissive vs Copyleft Open Source
Published on Jul 9, 2025.
The premise of copyleft licenses is attractive: Create more open source!

With permissive licenses, someone can take the code and make proprietary modifications to it and sell it to other people without releasing the modifications. We want people to publish their improvements, right?

With copyleft, we can force people to publish their improvements to copyleft code. Businesses will want to use our code because creating it was so much work in the first place. We need copyleft if we want more contributors, more open source, more code re-use, more freedom.

Right?

Wrong.

In this post, I break down all the ways copyleft licenses fail to achieve their stated goals, and explain why permissive licenses succeed where copyleft fails.

I wrote a comprehensive post dispelling many incorrect assumptions about Copyleft vs Permissive open source licenses.

If you author/contribute to open source code, it's worth reading and understanding these nuances!

All of “download request hitting a single server”, but network traffic would still be happening machine to machine, so we’d still have billions of requests, just more ideal traffic shaping?

We’re worried that some folks will read /and believe/ the safety marketing, and then your aunt will get screwed by a) paying for a VPN at all and b) still getting her life savings stolen at the coffee shop WiFi.

I think a lot of people don’t really understand just how much risk there is in being a creative.

And I don’t mean that you're going to have terrible earning potential, or make time investment with minimal ROI

I mean that creatives are damaged by their craft in ways that takes something out of you.

A man walks into his apartment and says "glad to be home from work. time to change." He undergoes a Sailor Moon-like magical girl transformation, where a star pendant erupts into pink ribbons that cover his body and turn into his home clothes, a tattered Ween shirt and dirty sweatpants.

For a given task, any mom will often have “at least as many years as their kid has been alive + 20” years of experience. So that’s kinda just how it is…

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

Goldman Sachs analysts : The money men saying the quiet part out loud

Curing patients may not be a sufficiently profitable enterprise for biotech companies.

Chronic disease is a far more beneficial business model

I’ve always taken that seriously because it keeps coming up. Just yesterday I was in Windows Performance Analyzer tracing bugs into Windows kernel cpp files, with no way to actually view the contents of those files. And no official documentation on the display error code they give to the user.

I recall seeing a post saying they were overzealous with some things as content moderation got a lot more difficult a lot quicker than they were expecting. Could be that? (Also some things are bad enough that users shouldn’t have control)

What's weird is mine does this but only for tab groups, so I can see things I've stored in the Rust tab group on my phone, from the iPad or MB, but I can't see any of their regular pages from each other.
