From a pro-security perspective, this is deeply incompetent, since climate change is going to be a major source of violent instability.

But there are people who will gain financially from that instability. And there are evangelicals who think this is how they go to heaven. So 🫠

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Not 10'000, but even 1'000'000 Canadian troops can't fix this.

Because Canadian troops won't be searching US citizens coming back home.

None of this enhances or maintains public safety.

Much like the legal settlements of nonsense cases, this is yet another example of right wing virtue signaling and not because this is a place to do effective marketing.

Who could have guessed?
