Report: Pastor testifies on the reason evangelicals support Republicans: We “made a deal with the devil”
"That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda," says Robert Schenck and they would give us Roe. Taking rights away from half the population.

In that meeting that I participated in, the conversation went something like this: 'You guys want Roe v. Wade overturned, we can do that for you, but you take the whole enchilada, you take the whole thing,"' he said. "You take everything else that comes with it. Because if you want Roe gone, you have to work with us."

"From that point on that community that I had served, and still do, made a deal with the devil," he said. "That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda, whether or not we had conscientious conflict with them.

The definition of evil, immoral and unethical.

boost, please.

@yura is there a matching 'apt binge'?

@xexaxo I meant more in terms of dnf / pip / cargo / flatpak (i.e. within the same distro, using packagers aimed at different things).

Would be nice if all package managers understood/aliased all common English verbs meaning "remove this package", because I can never remember if it's "remove", "erase", or "uninstall".

@nasamuffin eh, "odd but good-natured" describes 99% of kernel developers.

Just to prove that not all mail we get is odd or threatening.

« #AaronSwartz planned to publish millions of scientific articles, financed by public money and on which the authors received nothing. Prosecuted before he had published anything, he risked 35 years in prison. Facing this prospect, he died by suicide on 11 January 2013. 11 years ago.

In 2024, #OpenAI will apply its algorithms to any document, online or offline, without the consent of the authors. No one is likely to be prosecuted.

#IntellectualProperty is just a tool of oppression. » @ploum

if AI companies get access to all copyrighted works for free because "it isn't possible to train an AI without it", should we not give free access to all copyrighted works to children because it is not possible to train one without it?

@major "Güey, señor Tortuga es mi padre!"

LWN claims that we'll be switching away from mailing lists for kernel development. I guess that would save us quite a bit on ink and goose feathers.

This is the end, so long my friend!

Today, 15 years ago #OTD the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.

Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.

However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.
