No one supports people breaking the laws.

What about these laws? Or these laws? Don’t you support people breaking unjust laws?

I think what you’re really saying is that you think US immigration laws are generally just.

If you want to keep your Fairphone and ditch android, Fairphone 4 and 5 both appear to be well supported by Ubuntu Touch. The downside is that Ubuntu Touch is currently still based on the 2020 LTS release of Ubuntu (which does still get updates, at least). Fairphone 4 is also somewhat supported by postmarketOS, but call support there is listed as “partial”.

If the discovery on Phoebe was in 2342, then Holden is around 20 years older than Janeway; larger age gap than the original but it could work

why are you using a direct download site? 😂

(i don’t recognize which site the screenshot is of, but i have definitely seen “download” ads like this on some shitty torrent sites…)

The rest of me is all, “It’s still 2025!! If we have the Bell Riots now we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”

The Bell Riots were in September 2024.

Our universe’s lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s was already pretty strong evidence that we’re not living in the prime timeline.

were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

It should be if there is chunks missing its unusable. At least thats my thinking, since gpg is usually a binary and ascii armor makes it human readable. As long as a person cannot guess the blacked out parts, there shouldnt be any data.

you are mistaken. A PGP key is a binary structure which includes the metadata. PGP’s “ascii-armor” means base64-encoding that binary structure (and putting the BEGIN and END header lines around it). One can decode fragments of a base64-encoded string without having the whole thing. To confirm this, you can use a tool like xxd (or hexdump) - try pasting half of your ascii-armored key in to base64 -d | xxd (and hit enter and ctrl-D to terminate the input) and you will see the binary structure as hex and ascii - including the key metadata. i think either half will do, as PGP keys typically have their metadata in there at least twice.

how did you choose which areas to redact? were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

They aren’t pro corpo Ai.

They’re very much against the mass scraping/ddos ai companies are doing.

All of the self-hostable LLMs and image generators (or at least, all of the ones capable of the quality people have come to expect for the last few years) people are using today are trained on massive scraped datasets far beyond the reach of hobbyists. There are many so-called “open source” models which are free to modify (eg, by fine-tuning) and to redistribute, but the data used for the initial training (which hobbyists are allowed to build upon) cannot be published because doing so would obviously be large-scale copyright infringement.

Also, even with the data (which in many cases also needs to be labeled/annotated using human labor), the cost of training such a model from scratch is astronomical.

As a pirate myself, I totally understand how, after reading that Meta’s training data included 82TB of pirated books they torrented, one’s first thought might be “🤤” … but to imagine that this makes Meta our ally in the fight against copyright is some temporarily-embarrassed-millionaire kind of thinking.

Chat, is this real?

yes.

and we’re seeing it now because two days ago he wrote a long tweet (something only people who pay for twitter can do) musing about why so many people have been failing to understand that he was joking for the last eight years.

The Russian trolls are working overtime to justify military action against American people at the objection of the governor and mayor.

For sure, the American people could never be ignorant xenophobic bigots like that on their own, it must be foreigners influencing them and/or posting those comments!
