"US Bill Would Mandate AI Chip Location Tracking to Thwart China and Other Adversaries "
These sorts of laws are fucking retarded. There is no way you can control what a third party does with a product after you've sent them the product. You can have them sign whatever agreement you so desire, but enforcement is another matter.
This technology is likely something that can be gotten around through one means or another, but really what it is likely aimed at is tracking you and I. It's not going to prevent China from importing a mass produced product that is shipped around the world to random people.
The solution to the security problem is pretty obvious. Develop better military tech. It's not to restrict a mass produced consumer product.

"Someone Forked systemd Over Its New Birth Date Field"
It's about time... now we just need to integrate all these fork(s) into a working functional stable distribution.
I'm not really sure this particular fork will have any impact what-so-ever, but I 100% agree we shouldn't be rewarding or cooperating with totalitarian states or politicians that want to or otherwise are taking away our freedoms and liberty.
Like other things evil doers want this should never have made it into GNU/Linux-land or free software more generally.
The fact someone had to folk systemd is more telling about what GNU/Linux has become. It's no longer a system built around, for, and by freedom-minded folks.
If we want freedom we need to continue work for and push for it.
There are numerous distributions it's NOT cool to be using because of distro maintainers widespread enablement of bad shit (and yea, I am giving some amount of slack, maybe even too much, to distros that are mostly doing what is in the users best interest, even if far from perfect, ie including some non-free firmwares for hardware, but not including snaps).
From systemd to snaps to the inclusion of Widevine (needed for things like Netflix or so I'd presume, and other commercial streaming services, though not your standard YouTube, but YouTube 'premium' content)- to mainline Linux kernels.
There are some things that if removed won't have that dramatic of an impact on most users.
The trick is figuring out the right balance.
There is a solution to every non-free problem just about for instance hardware wise- most folks don't need any of the non-free stuff if redirected. Other non-hardware stuff we *could* solve even if it requires some risk and breaking certain immoral laws.

Do we really have free speech? It sure doesn't seem like it when courts allow this sort of thing:
"The music publishers’ inducement theory partly relies on a handful of public statements by Elon Musk, which they argue demonstrate that X encouraged its users to infringe."
What was that ''inducement"?
Apparently at some point Elon Tweeted:
“[Truncated] DMCA Is a Plague On Humanity”
Yes- his disgust for a law is being called an act of encouragement rather than a set of words actually encouraging infringement.
BUT even if he encouraged it that should (whether or not it is or will be, and it probably won't be) be protected.
It's the right if not duty of every person to advocate against unjust laws and to disobey. You don't get to write off wrongs just because there is a law.
@graf@poa.st I think most people honestly wanted to start shit because the Poast userbase were especially annoying chuds to deal with early on back when you were advertising on places like imageboards and shit. Those people have either left or mellowed out by now.
