So is @sky.skymarchini.net ready to take the L and admit that Trump was able to make Orinoco oil extraction pencil out?

nvidia drivers finally convinced me to just install fedora again since it's basically never been a problem

believe it or not this is an older use case, newer models are merely very good at it now

well one of the key levers is political power and many of the people who have a lot of activist weight on the issue are signalling that, if given political power, they are going to spend it on something other than who owns or controls the thing

sure, four, why not

you shouldn't be a luddite because they lost so hard that by the time Marx was writing they were a cautionary tale about how to lose so hard that the next generation of activists only use you as a punchline

06.03.2026 04:03 — 👍 6    🔁 1    💬 1    📌 0

yes. everyone i find the most frustrating is unwilling or unable to drill down to who owns and controls the thing as the problem

06.03.2026 04:02 — 👍 10    🔁 0    💬 3    📌 0

that sounds about right, yes.

this already happened. everyone can see the writing on the wall. you cannot bargain with leverage everyone knows is vanishing

the entire shape of power changes based on the technology but the key problem is, in the end, who has it

this was also true of the automatic loom and the entire industrial revolution, and i had thought that we had collectively reached an at-least-marxist understanding of the matter, but have realized i was very mistaken

asking people to get sued or not be officially oss was not considered reasonable

basically the oss definition excludes training data but asks that it be described in sufficient detail to reproduce it because people kept suing us for training data
