Cleaning up my WordPress instance to prepare it for export. Over the last 20 years, I've accumulated 120 draft blog posts, many of them were even close to finished. Yikes!
Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.
Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.

@mitch Most rational people ALREADY agreed to this, there's no if buts or maybes about it. Kill it like a weed. Everywhere and always.
@zleap @futurebird They're busy doing exactly that aren't they? As in, it's 240V coming into new houses and then they have transformers in the homes to scale it down to 120V for small appliances where dryers/ovens etc have special plugs and run directly off the 240V circuit
Anyone remember Q&A? This was really impressive software in the early 90s. I was 10 years old and had no real use for databases but made one with my contacts just so that I could play with the bot.
@GyrosGeier The human mind hasn't evolved to deal with all the craziness in the world right now.
Hmm @ Flatpak. Maybe it's less effort to just help with the Lutris backport in Debian instead.
@splendorr not me, I take every possible opportunity to make those kind of people uncomfortable, and I encourage others to do the same
