I agree with this. Been considering switching to the instance, but don't really like all of the AI stuff. I don't really care about copyright, more about the effect on humanity in a much broader sense and the environment.

    Just because you like to put "CEO" on your LinkedIn doesn't actually make you one being talked about. It's talking about CEOs of large companies who are responsible for destroying countless lives.

    When you start wielding wealth and resources as a weapon against humanity, then you are the problem. In a just society, these people would simply not exist, or at least, we'd have the means to quickly remove them from power if they somehow found a means to abuse society. However, we do not live in a just society, or one where justice is actually a guiding principle. We live in a capitalist society that enforces its will through violence, and only truly responds to violence. There is a very, very good reason that Luigi struck such a chord with so many people.

    I mean, not really. This is weird shit to put in a legal document and is pretty pointless. It's also just hard to read due to contrast issues (which can be particularly relevant depending on any disabilities of interested parties, etc.). Like I'm pretty sure there is text on there that does not meet WCAG guidelines.

    It's definitely not appropriate for a court document. I'd go farther and say putting anything to dramatically draw attention to oneself in a court document is inappropriate. That's simply not what court documents are for. They should strive to be as mundane, uninteresting, an impartial as possible.

    What movie is this even referencing? Almost every depiction of spiderman has him as a man of and for the people. Admittedly I haven't watched more recent marvel movies. Has that changed, somehow?

    It's just for the "last mile" where code gets packaged up into releases. There's still thousands of developers that have all of the code on their machines as well, it's just that their local repos aren't the ones that end up in the hands of end users.

    Changes can come from anywhere. The Linux kernel itself doesn't use any central repository like Github, it's instead done via emailing patches that are eventually merged into the mainline kernel repository managed by Linus.

    It is 100% decentralized.

    Erm... You might be confusing millennials with Gen Z or something. I was 19 when annoying orange first showed up, and I'm on the younger end of millennials. Me and my friends found it pretty obnoxious.

    Yep. It does increasingly feel like developers like me who find it deeply disturbing and problematic for our profession and society are going to increasingly become rarer. Fewer and fewer people are going to understand how anything actually works.
