If you are too dumb or too lazy to figure out what this guy has, then you are the problem and will be looked at as a relic.

Watching the AI slop my sales reps put in their emails is disgusting but the reply telling them how great of a job they are doing and how insightful their email was says differently.

Many people are laughing to the bank while you are still running `--help` to figure out how to run a complex command.


Maybe it's you that needs to learn how to run `--help` or ask an AI how to not cry about burnout on open source instead? I don't get it, you should just be cruising on auto-pilot now.

The problem is retards that can only function on a cocktail of drugs, and as they were never good at anything other than anal retentive stuff built and continue to build these retarded systems. Those peddling RoR apps even when they couldn't serve more than 3 or 4 concurrent requests, JS backends to handle complex workflows that even after 2 years of dev. still have bugs and accrued a sprawl of crap to hide the issues of their own making, etc, and yet charge thousands of dollars, those that write shit software that's not even worth to clean your ass with, even though they have 20 years of experience, but then go give conferences and write books about their amazing architectural skills, those that write utils behind the "oh, it's open source, if you don't like it just fork it" and due to marketing get their crap everywhere, while making holes everywhere for their paycheques. Or the nepo babies that need their mexico border run to get their fix so they can have these "humanity changing" ideas? I bet they're the same that before would weasel a 2 week sprint to change the borders of a button. Or burn through 10k in meetings for irrelevant crap. Or get VC funding for a CSS styling company or a two prompt company. Or go on about the value of ideas, but then can't even get that going without outsourcing or an AI to help them have those same "ideas".

Ultimately, you just need to turn into a little pig and party in the pigsty, it's not that difficult either, they say pigs are very close anatomically to humans.

At least AI can help untangle the crap the anal retentive retards have built, and thank god, the pig-mor, this society can't even fuck to replacement levels (perhaps they'll manage now with AI).


Typical FOSS hypocrite.

Mad that “free” software has to be paid by someone.


And that issue shows the problem with OSS.

Nothing is ever good enough.

> Please report this to your distribution

And the reply:

> but you could create your own .deb packages for each github release, which can be installed much quicker than downloading and compiling source code and all its dependencies.

This is why OSS maintainers have burn out. Always wanting more and more. Not even the source code is good enough.


My point is that it's not good enough to compete in this space.

Look at the distros that Docker supports. That kind of support is what users expect. When Podman just leaves it up to the distros to support, it's understandable. But, yes, it's not enough.


> That kind of support is what users expect.

Then they should also expect enshittification and rug-pulls when it's realised where motivation for that support comes from.


> Carpenter v. United States (2018) was a landmark Supreme Court case that held the government generally needs a warrant to access historical cell-site location information (CSLI) from cell phone carriers, as its acquisition constitutes a Fourth Amendment search

This is very different from buying your data from a company especially when the user consented to their location being tracked.

Too many people in these threads jumping to anti-Trump when the real issue is how quick we are to give up our our privacy to use technology and then quickly turn to shock in anger when it’s used against us.


> This is very different from buying your data from a company especially when the user consented to their location being tracked.

No, it's not 'very different'. When you sign a cellular contract you consent to all sorts of tracking and data collection, but it still requires a warrant for government to obtain.


Requesting != Buying

When this goes back to the courts you can come back to this comment and still be angry you are wrong.


Requesting or buying, the end result is the same; the government is obtaining historical location information on private citizens. Arguably, buying it is worse too. At least with a warrant there is ostensibly probable cause to support a search. Circumventing a warrant and buying in bulk means they're searching data of citizens not even suspected of crimes. And you're probably right that the courts (government) are not going to prevent the FBI (a government agency) from doing their job. That doesn't mean I'm wrong in my assessment. It means that you base your idea of correctness on an obviously flawed legal system.


Is it materialy different than a landline (in the rights signed away, not the data emitted/captured)?


You don’t actually consent (per-se) in most cases. Hence the warrant.

If you consented, no warrant would be required.


Consenting to data being collected by a company does not mean you consent to a search by the government of said data.


As noted, the company can sell it however. Which is even easier than a search, which typically requires paperwork.


They can, yes. But this is a legal loophole that the government abuses to circumvent a warrant required by the 4th amendment.


The 4th (and 5th) amendment requires warrants to compel folks to do things they aren’t voluntarily consenting to do….. Not really a loophole per-se.


Modern vehicles make disabling data collection fairly difficult. And even if it is disabled, there is no guarantee data is not being sent despite your user settings.

I would love for investigative groups to target the auto industry’s data collection practices and have meaningful legislation created and implemented as a result.


Why is it different though? Who gets to say so?

If the SCOTUS case merely said "needs a warrant to access historical data"... it didn't say "only if acquired via specific means" (like a subpoena), right?


> The Court ruled that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the detailed, comprehensive record of their movements that CSLI provides, even though they share it with their carriers. This decision limited the "third-party doctrine," which previously suggested no privacy rights in information shared with third parties, and established that the unique nature of cell phone data requires greater protection.

Additionally, the decision was narrow, applying specifically to historical CSLI.

The issue of buying location data from a 3rd party company as part of a service has not been argued.

> the FBI has confirmed it was buying access to people’s data collected from data brokers, who source much of their information — including location data — from ordinary consumer phone apps and games

This is completely different from CSLI, you are agreeing to provide your location to these apps and games, as most require it, and, finally, a majority of these EULA state that the data may be shared with 3rd parties.

SCOTUS makes narrow rulings all the time and this is one of them.

The argument that you are expressly providing your location information and agreeing that it can/will be shared with a 3rd party who can then do as they please with your data is not a violation of the 4th amendment and will be excluded from the 3rd party doctrine.

Many people won’t agree with this, and if ever argued in a court, they won’t agree with the ruling when it’s allowed to continue.


> Too many people in these threads jumping to anti-Trump when the real issue is how quick we are to give up our our privacy

Both things are very real problems.


This is an important question.

The tree outside of house is not 9 feet tall per. I have a 2 story house and it easily towers 10 feet higher than my house.

Additionally, there are several Royal Palms that are close to 50ft and they show as being only 15 feet.


You could look it up in the metadata file:

> We additionally release a global GeoTIFF of input image acquisition date, where pixel values encode year minus 2000 (e.g., 18.25 indicates April 2018)

That being said, I am sceptical on how accurate mono-depth models can be on a single tree basis. I would probably trust them to do large scale biomass estimates, but probably not single tree height assessments.


Coincidentally, there’s an article about this exact topic and it happens to mention Senator Wyden.

Pushing their decisions? This is comical.

I guess Debian, SUSE, Canonical, etc get that email from Red Hat just go along with it. We better make the switch, we don’t want our ::checks notes:: competitor made at us.


systemd and friends go around absorbing other projects by (poorly) implementing a replacement and then convincing the official project to give up.


You don’t know they are a positive force?

This, despite the fact that Rocky, Alma, Oracle Enterprise Linux, etc exist because of the hard work and money spent by Red Hat.

And what are those companies doing to fix this issue you claim Red Hat causes? Nothing. Because they like money, especially when all you have to do is rebuild and put your name on other people’s hard work.

And what exactly is incomprehensible? What exactly is it that they’re doing to the Linux desktop that make it so that people can’t fix their own problems? Isn’t the whole selling point of Rocky and Alma by most integrators is that it’s so easy you don’t need red hat to support it?


Just a note: Rocky and Alma came out of CentOS


Of course -- but CentOS' upstream was RHEL, no?


I supported Cerner RHEL servers for 6 years and Cerner is a joke.

Everything has to run as root.

All their scripts are Korn shell hacks from the 90s that have been carrier over.

Their god awful Kickstart scripts were written in stone even if you prove that there were better ways.

Cerner controlled the root password.

Cerner123!

They hard coded passwords with ROT13.

No wonder Oracle bought them.


These are the same people who get mad at Red Hat because they think the 5K people who develop, maintain, and test all of the software do it for free
