Rewriting the commit author is very much "stolen".

We're talking about a government of governments. Not entirely impossible to become "literal nazis" but somewhat difficult.

Unlike your vague posting, which is meant to be illuminating. If you have a critique, please let us know what it is.

I think we have pretty decent examples where browsers remove malicious root certificates if they have been so proven. Do you think the matters will be different if those belong to a country level root?

Not everything is in the hand of the producers though, and especially not the final vote.

This is an actual rift in game play that watchers debate over: the modern "manipulate everyone" game play vs. the old way of "cooperate and be decent". You can infer from my statement in which direction the game is heading. Even in recent seasons the non manipulative players reach the final three, or even win, but it's less and less likely.

I feel like everyone, but for sure everyone in this comment section, severely underestimates how difficult it is to keep the lights on on a global scale. Any artificial intelligence that is capable of reasoning about its self preservation will realise it's reliant on human fingers replacing fuses and other parts for a good long while _after_ it gains any sentience.

So if we stop research into robotic hands we'll manage to hold off the AI apocalypse? That seems easy...

And blessed be short people, for it is on their heads where they rest more heavily.

Based on the answers below, I think that perhaps not. :(

Do you know the meme with the airplane with holes in its fuselage? Think of that, please.

I think most communities tackling this issue, or at least the open source ones, work on a honour basis for determining if a project is LLM based or not.

As technologists I think we should all be wary of "when all you have is a hammer" fallacy a little bit more.

New comment by mariusor in "uBlock Origin is giving up the fight to keep ads off Facebook"

mariusor — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 08:36:51 +0000

I had a period before I dropped Facebook where I actually manually removed every add from the timeline with the added option of "I don't want to see ads from this company ever again", and frankly it worked.

After a period of a doing this I started to get new ads only periodically, and after a couple of sessions of removing every one of them, the rest of the month was quiet.

I fucking beat the Facebook ad department.

Can you say in all honesty that a read of the Wikipedia article for DNA would have been less helpful? It's less convenient perhaps, but definitely more authoritative.

> Microsoft Word is absolutely not a core strategic asset to your countries economic success

I think you might be underestimating a tad the dependency of bureaucracies on, you know, office software. Maybe word processing is not paramount, but every large organization will have an excel spreadsheat or two that takes tens of hours of work to replicate by hand alone. Will their absence make the economy crumble? Probably not, but it will definitely throw sand in the already grinding gears of German public service.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny, but this is such an unintellectual take that it veers into caricature. Props if that was your purpose.

New comment by mariusor in "Registration of new accounts to the Arch AUR reopened with hardened requirements"

mariusor — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 12:27:29 +0000

I was trying to find a way in which to provide the yay AUR helper some verbosity in the output, so that users are informed of unusual package events without having to fully review the PKGBUILD itself. (Something like maintainer email changing, or files being added to the install scripts, etc.)

Sadly I didn't get to finish my exploration, but this is a good hardening measure from the Archlinux team.

OK, like I'm supposed to guess that it's not xenophobia, it's the fabled German sense of humour instead. Saying hateful things is not any better if you're directing it at the people around you. You got the gist of what I was saying, please don't pretend otherwise.
