I’ll make it easy for those of you who have a problem with it. Ask your LLMs of choice what idk… grep is licensed under. And because we all know you won’t read it, ask for a summary of that license. You might miss the important bits so tell it you want to know about the 4 fundamental freedoms. Or you could read any of it yourself, so you understand the reason for the work of your forebearers

Feed it the man page… I don’t even. Fuck. Like. Read a license for anything which has a man page and you’d realize how incredibly selfish that is.

Aren’t “the boring gaps” in fact “the important parts”?

Dora the Explorer + Law and Order SVU

16 degrees F seems like a lot. Take a hot day and turn it into the Sahara. 1.6-2 degrees seems more reasonable. Take your thermostat and change it from 73 to 75. Noticable to uncomfortable difference. Not sweltering.

College is a failed business model

Why would I be hurt? I don’t think it’s a good faith question most of the time. Which is why I gave the answer I did.

There’s a lot to gleen from why the person is asking the question. It’s not a good faith question. They already have their answer. I wouldn’t engage it other than to ask another question like “why do you ask?” or “why does it matter?”

Not working efficiently enough is the key. RTFM is a skill and it takes patience and practice. Investing that time is worth it as it is ultimately the fastest way. And you learn peripheral information along the way. If getting the job done now, then do what works for you.

I would however warn against watching video. Watching videos is the slowest way to learn something. Think about how often you watch at 4x only to jump around and miss what you are looking for. Compare that to using a wiki or an old fashion book. Skimming and jumping around is much easier. But once again, do what works for you.

Death threats are far beyond unacceptable, but it’s naive to think this policy is without consequence. It can take as few as 3 non-personal pieces of information (examples of personal: name, phone number, street address, SSN) to uniquely identify someone. Say the kind of car you drive, your employer, and your hair color. Together those are form a strong identifier, but now add age BY DEFAULT. Even a weak set becomes unique.

That is incredibly consequential. You could be implicated in a crime you didn’t commit, protesting becomes impossible, and everything you do or say will ALWAYS follow you. The balance between citizen and government becomes irrevesibly skewed. Just because your computer will volunteer your age.

This issue should be the issue we care about the most.

Relatively inconsequential law? Relative to what?
