@PurpCat @eric @i @sally @sun @toiletpaper I have an old book somewhere from Oracle wherein the first chapter of the book is about the theory of computing, where a program is fundamentally a math function that solves a problem by taking an input and calculating a result. The second chapter was dedicated to understanding your input dataset and how to arrange it in a form that would be best suited to find desired solutions from the dataset.

It would be really cool if we could get back to that, instead of being concerned with shit that doesn't matter like if someone voted for ronald regan, or thinks sex parties are pretty foul.

Even Lunduke is covering the Stallman hit piece:

@drewdevault is such a pussy he didn't even put his name on his hit piece. His credibility in all tech communities is so low it's gotta be approaching absolute zero by now.

How the fuck is this bastard still allowed on Hackernews and I'm banned?!

Now that we know -- with a high level of certainty -- that Drew DeVault is (at least one of) the author(s) of the "Stallman Report"... this comment from DeVault, yesterday, is particularly amusing:

"I've read most of the report" ... "the depth of this report is astonishing". 🤣

I've been working on a website for my game studio. The layout was created via ChatGPT (it's really great at generating HTML5 templates without the modern web bloat).

It was hard to write the about page because I didn't want to be unprofessional and bash other studios, but I wanted to make my point across that we will NEVER include any DRM, telemetry, or live service crap in our games.

Here is a brilliant idea: a website with an interactive map that shows businesses that are known to use facial recognition. As a bonus, have another interactive map that shows businesses that have gone cashless.

There are sites like this already, but they only list big-chains. It would be nice to know about small businesses as well.

>But how do we know if they are using it?

Employees can anonymously report it. If they see CCTV footage in their store's office and there are white squares over peoples heads, then they can report it anonymously.

It's strange that Drew DeVault has been mysteriously offline for the past couple of days while the Stallman-Report.org hit piece was online.

I'm wondering what is the motivation behind the archive.org DDoS. Is it some company (or group of companies) not wanting the Internet Archive to redistribute their work or is it someone who doesn't want their digital footprint archived?
