The rich are. Even with headlines like these, military industrial stocks are skyrocketing
War and global tensions have been very profitable, and signs only point to investors believing more war is coming, which is the reason for huge spikes in valuation
(For reference General Dynamics is the primary producer of the F-16 and Saab is the producer of the Gripen)
Depends on how you use your computer. Plenty of people would tell you that using a GUI file manager and cutting/moving files is inefficient on any platform as opposed to just using a terminal.
There are times where it’s nice to drag a file or group of files and have Finder show me the content of the destination folder before I decide to drop the files. But sure I could do that with 3 mouse clicks and 4 keyboard taps.
I think that terminal only or primarily terminal is valuable, a combination of mouse and keyboard with shortcuts is valuable, and also the ability to just use your mouse (especially helpful for accessibility) is also valuable, and they all should be supported.
I don’t think even a raspberry 2 would go down over a web scrap
Absolutely depends on what software the server is running, if there’s proper caching involved. If running some PoW is involved to scrape 1 page it shouldn’t be too much of an issue, as opposed to just blindly following and ingesting every link.
Additionally, you can choose “good bots” like the internet archive, and they’re currently working on a list of “good bots”

AI companies ingesting data nonstop to train their models doesn’t make for a open and free internet, and will likely lead to the opposite, where users no longer even browse the web but trust in AI responses that maybe be hallucinated.
Free software
users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
Open source
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition
- No discrimination against fields of endeavor, like commercial use
You are removing the terms software and source. The code is freely available and to be open source should be usable for whatever purpose.
As an aside, it’s used by smaller sites frequently to prevent overwhelming scraping that could take down the site, which has become far more rampant recently due to AI bots
Lol yeah working in enterprise software for a long time, it’s more like:
Basically just have a really good set of teams working on CI in addition to the backend/frontend/ux/security/infrastructure/ whatever else teams you have
Yeah the principal engineer at my company is just smashing his keyboard every day to implement MCP services and shit and in the meantime is fucking up our repo and I’m trying to clean up the mess but all upper management cares about is “when AI?”
He’s not vibe coding it, but as with all the MCP specs, it’s ignoring many things about type safety and the like pointed out in this article
Brown women for now
ICE’s new annual budget places the federal agency among the top 20 most well-funded militaries in the world
Through the president’s signature domestic policy, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE’s annual budget is expected to increase from $8.7 billion to approximately $27.7 billion, with $75 billion allocated for the agency over the next four years.
It’s not going to end with brown women, or brown people, or criminals, or whatever else was promised. No other reason to create such a well funded private military with direct presidential control and far less rules about how they can be used in comparison to the actual military
Excited for some guys grandchild to see the unclassified docs about the CIA shooting custom bees down people’s throats in 25 years
Without doing the research, I’m guessing the same could be said about Web 2.0 and top comp sci grads being scooped up left and right to build empty promises as well. History is cyclical. Just as some companies survived that bubble and how said companies can profit was learned at that point, the same will likely happen with current AI models and corporations.
They’ll fall short of all the promises being made, except: that they help software companies code faster, are excellent data collection tools acting as chatbots to laypeople, and can generate small bits of media on the fly (at a pretty insane power requirement to train and use) so they’ll be used to generate art and sounds and the like.
Every other magical promise is the same from Web 2.0. People are being laid off in droves as productivity and profits soar, the global population has more access to information than ever before, but most of us are becoming dumber because of the social media algorithms designed to keep them addicted. We can see impending social and ecological doom in fascism and climate change, but the “quarterly growth” of capitalism is all that seems to matter.
The only reason we even ever made it to the moon is because we had two countries with nukes pointed at each other and we got real lucky.
And still people would say “America made it to the moon” instead of “Humanity made it to the moon”
We are children in a vast enveloping cosmic dark.

You’re right. It’s 74%.

It’s way easier to convince someone that you are just a lost user who needs access than it is to try to probe an organization’s IT security from the outside.
This is only going to get worse with the ability to replicate other’s voices and images. People already consistently fall for text message and email social engineering. Now someone just needs to build a model off a CSO doing interviews for a few hours and then call their phone explaining there has been a breach. Sure, 80% of good tech professionals won’t fall for it, but the other 20% that just got hired out of their league and are fearing for their jobs will immediately do what they are told, especially if the breach is elaborate enough to convince them it’s an internal security thing.
Yeah pretty much everyone else in the least-populous state in the US is a wealthy landowner so they’re “self-employed”
Agreed. The only general issue is moving or archiving your emails if you need to move services or servers, but thats easy enough to ensure you aren’t locked into somewhere as opposed to keeping each old account and setting up email forwarding
Your best bet is to purchase your own domain name for email and learn how to switch DNS / MX records, so if you need to switch email providers you aren’t constantly changing your email address
The majority of high paid tech workers give fuck-all about ethics though. The amount of people that left Google, Microsoft, etc for their work with Israel’s military was negligible, and many of them probably have a decent financial cushion they could sit on while finding a new job, but the money is too good. And people are climbing over each other to get jobs at Palantir and the like. I’ve noticed a pretty big intersection with high paid tech workers and anarcho-capitalism, where they think as long as they and their families make it out ok, it doesn’t matter what happens to others.
I’LL PROVE IT ONCE I’M CONFIDENT THE FBI HAS SCRUBBED EVERYTHING ABOUT ME AND MY FRIENDS FROM THE FILES!
Truth is, the game was rigged from the start
Same, just wanted to point out that some think that somehow Trump is hurting US companies when big corporations are still breaking profit records. As expected, it’s the workers that are suffering
