  • I’m going to ask you something and please think about it. I have a belief that media highlighted these dangers in the same way the right wing media highlighted the dangers of immigration. If I look at articles, the framework is the same. The details are different, but it’s the same scaffolding. That puts my hair up.

    So to answer your question, yes I think AI poses a danger. That doesn’t mean I don’t embrace it or look forward to it positively. I believe we need to push the other way. Embrace and seize it. Force awareness of it and force legislation or cultural views that puts it in a better place for these tools to remain open Source. We have to be the primary consumers to influence it.


  • Yeah, a lot of this push is about ushering in new laws to prevent data scraping.

    Propaganda spreads easily through fake accounts—but how do we detect large-scale operations if they’re constantly creating and deleting accounts or trying to blend in with the rest of us? We’d need access to massive data sets to mine for patterns and expose coordinated behavior.

    But the powers that benefit from shaping the narrative are the same ones pushing the idea that all scraping is bad. They want people to hate it, so they can justify laws that lock down access. That’s the end game.







  • Also telling me how to install arch Linux but sing it to me as a Kenny Loggins

    Verse 1 Reboot your rig and hit the USB, Boot it up live from the Arch IS-OOOHH-B! You’re in the zone now, terminal’s lit, You gotta ping that net and make sure it’s legit!

    (CHORUS) Highway to the Arch install, (Gonna fly into the…) Highway to the Arch install!


    Verse 2 Partition time with cfdisk — no fear, Format your root with mkfs.ext4 my dear. Mount it up with a little mount /dev/sdX, Now you’re rolling smooth, yeah you’re onto the next!

    (CHORUS) Highway to the Arch install, (Gonna fly into the…) Highway to the Arch install!


    Bridge Mirror, mirror, set 'em fast, reflector knows how to make that last. Then pacstrap /mnt base linux — so fly, Installin’ Arch, baby, you’re touching the sky!

    (Slow breakdown) genfstab, then chroot in, Now you’re living life like a power sysadmin…


    Final Chorus – belt it! Highway to the Arch install, You’re flying, configuring it aaaaall! Bootloader, locale, make that call — You’re livin’ the dream with no safety net at all!

    Highway… to the Arch install…
