Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

every once in a while I stop to consider how much the entertainment I consume is almost entirely competence porn, and then I usually try to put that out of my mind as quickly as possible

Do not befriend or sleep with anyone who post spoilers. They are pariahs and should be treated as such, and shunned from decent society.

like this type of argument is just nonsensical, uwu-we're-just-a-little-guy stuff. people are asking rodericks to meet the standards of, like, the mod team of a large subreddit. "bluesky is free, why do you expect us to do all this mod work for you" is like, okay what are you even paid to do?

New: iPhones have an automatic reboot feature which quietly reboots the phone after a certain time; cops were freaking out about this when we revealed it in 2024. Now, phone hackers have a way around it, according to a leaked video www.404media.co/cops-can-byp...

Cops Can Bypass iPhone’s Automatic Reboot to Get Into Locked Phones, Leaked Video Claims
Magent Forensics, the owner of the GrayKey phone unlocking tool, says it can bypass an iPhone rebooting feature that was locking cops out.

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

to be clear, it's not so much that the authorities _can't_ do anything as they _won't_ do anything, the bulk of them want it this way, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Definitely this. Price performance wise you can't do *that* much better building your own right now, with everything being more expensive than ever, and you'd end up with something larger, louder and ultimately harder to maintain.

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

What I haven't heard - and maybe I'm not looking in the right place - is a groundswell of faculty ready to walk unless the school essentially overhauls its entire leadership, which is really the bare minimum necessary here. They *barely* deserve to be a school at all.

I can't stop thinking about Cornell. As a former academic I just can't imagine getting up and going to work like it's a regular Tuesday. Teachers' first duty is to the safety, security and *future* of their students, end of line. How do you assure that by just ... pretending shit's normal?

One of the main reasons fraternities still exist is that membership signals to potential employers that you’re capable of keeping institutional secrets, even when it means covering up illegal behavior.
