I have a large collection of old scanned electronics manufacturers' product catalogs, reference manuals, and datasheets. While browsing through them, I noticed their covers frequently featured classically competent, well done graphic design and typography. This is a gallery of some of the highlights.

They should (and frequently do) require ID for delivery. The postal carrier will literally check ID before delivering the package. It costs about $8 extra. Any company that’s not using these services is exposed to some dire consequences if/when ATF comes knocking.

When I saw that on the second day of token-based pricing I’d already consumed my usual monthly spend on GitHub Copilot. That’s when I fully realized that it would never be economical, nor useful, to solo shops like mine.

Is that normal? To promote a research paper in ArXiv so heavily? I think the parent comment’s concerns still apply, saying a large, well-funded YouTube channel is specifically releasing coordinated content to promote this prompts more questions than it answers, in my mind.

The same argument could be made about any public service. Certainly, if libraries were funded to the tune of $1000 for every household, they would be very different places.

I believe there are standing precedents about cash bail that state that it should not be used unless there’s a demonstrable risk the defendant will flee otherwise. The problem (one of them anyway) is that as a component of the process, it’s highly unlikely to be challenged to such an extent it makes it to the circuit courts where such precedents are made. Bonds should not be used, in and of themselves, as punishments, or as leverage for prosecution. If a person is a danger to themselves or others, they should be denied bail. If they are a clear flight risk, then the bond should be set accordingly to ensure compliance. If they are neither, they should be released on their own recognizance and afforded the right to fully participate in their own defense.

I have found Forgejo’s actions to be functional for my own purposes, although rather incomplete compared with GitHub. That said, porting an action from GitHub to Forgejo was fairly easy the one time I was forced to do so.

I’m prob not the “average” user in this context (meaning that I am not a SWE or professional developer, but rather a code-curious sysadmin and consultant with too many hobbies), and I consistently use GitHub Copilot to write and push code to a self-hosted Forgejo…unless it’s a productive fork for contributing, or simply something I don’t want to take up space on my own server, anyway. I agree it’s likely to be a slow decay. GitHub is problematic, but it doesn’t summon the sort of white-hot resentment that pushed people to abandon other platforms en masse.

I am concerned that it will be much more difficult to discover FOSS projects with whatever the new regimes are, similar to how Discord has walled off a great deal of the discussion forums and collaborative groups.

This sounds like a naive presumption. Are ransomware distributors well known for operating within strict hierarchies bound by culturally-ingrained traditions, or acting in the best interests of their own “greater good”?

Last I heard, teenagers can deploy ransomware with minimal technical knowledge or skill.

Over the weekend, I tried to get Claude to produce a relatively straightforward schematic for me using KiCAD’s Python API, and it seems wholly incapable of properly understanding the requests, working with symbol libraries, or handling any of the design apart from creating a bunch of labels and nets. It’s the first time I have seen it fail this badly at a task, and of course it cheerily says it’s doing all the things I asked it. Only when I open the KiCAD files it’s all nonsense.

I think the better tack is to stop acting like these laws are being pushed by honest actors with good faith intentions of protecting children.
