A big part of the build out is government involved, there's no refferendum ballot for "don't spend public money feeding the circus" that tiger needs his three squares a day...

I'd add one of these: https://fortune.com/2026/02/21/peter-thiel-bill-gates-steve-...

but uh here I am on a social media site rebroadcasting that message... I'll add that I'm for an open internet, I don't think we need age verification. Walled gardens have a lot more shade then alternatives. Becoming aware of the many forms of abstracted gambling (time, tokens, or otherwise) makes the internet a much more affordable and sane place.

I first started recompiling the world with 64MB of ram, kind of funny how far we've come on hardware and made software gobble up the gains with very little to show for it.

Reticulum/Rnode is one option, but then mesh-core-tastic, signal, session, simplex, briar, whatschat, insta-don't sell a gram (no more e2ee) etc. etc. Let me know when the cool kids figure it out, you can reach me on my fossil instance over i2p :D

From the archive.pH link: > company’s current cash position will last four about six more quarters.

Is that the type of mistake an LLM makes?

If bun and node.js run I'm sure the agents will, you might have to fight tool calls since the system utils differ from GNU core utils a tiny bit here and there, but you could toss the agent and whatever tools into a jail and have a nice package, use zfs snapshots between prompts so you can disect it later.

Some may call me a devil's advocate (I love FreeBSD as my first alternate OS, it's more sensible as a whole, and less chaotic then linux) it provided the network stack for Microsoft and a base for darwin (OSX) Maybe it's just the low brow art, maybe it's the root of evil and the label is on the tin, how cute!

With these big players who are regularly found supporting people with evil intentions: Don't attribute to incompitence what could be ascribed to malice, nay you must trust the gods of the clouds to keep your secrets for you, all for the low low price of $x.99 a month a seat, you may only cancel your service with an arcaine dance and the sacrifice of your first born!

The technology is irrelevant, at one point in my career I worked for a ~200 person co. that was aquried by another massive (20,000+ seat) company who was even less useful than Oracle; trying to figure out the rough mechanics of why such a useless tower of people is built and maintained, I realized the magic: big juicy government contracts!
