Europe and Asia have it much much worse than we do on the surveillance state.

Ask anyone in jail for social media posts in the UK.

Ask any Chinese citizen about their social score and how it's adjusted.

So this sounds like an Anti-American and Anti-Palantir rant.

The author of this article is so stupid it hurts just to read it.
I would gladly own a Cybertruck if prices come down.

Approximately 100k for a truck of any type is ridiculous.

Not to be mean, but if you don't like the consequences of using an MIT license then don't use it.

Using it then complaining about its effects because you don't like the company is silly.

Use a different license if this is important to you.

Re:Generative AI Hype Peaking on Monday March 10, 2025 @01:34PM (#43322981)
Anyone who thinks the Hype has peaked is obviously too young to remember the dotcom bubble.

It will get so much worse before it starts to fade.

Infecting every commercial, movie plot, and article that you read.

I can still here the Yahoo yodel in my head from radio and TV commercials.

Re:LDAPjs decomissioned by maintainer over hateful email on Wednesday May 15, 2024 @02:06PM (#40370346)
The internet happens, my suggestion is get over it.
As a programmer from a bad family, group home, foster family background myself.

$1k per month without working or struggle would have destroyed me.

Imagine all the weed and whiskey I could have bought for that? (Which is what I would have done)

Instead of working I would have been lazy.

Homelessness and hunger was my major motivator and made me work in fast food while dreaming of computers.

The lack of struggle would have crippled my drive.
