The US Senate just voted to allow toxic mining in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. This will permanently destroy one of our rare nature sanctuaries. And for what... A few jobs? Some lobbyist payments to lawmakers? 😢

Why do the astronauts have to ask mission control to use international units (SI) -- as used in all science -- instead of "imperial" units (you're closest distance to the moon will be 32,536 furlongs) !%&$!

Re: @pluralistic@mamot.fr It's extremely good that Claude's source-code leaked As Anthropic has publicly boasted that "Claude Code is 100% written by Claude Code" and the Supreme Court just said that AI works are not copyrightable, how is it possible that Anthropic has standing to issue a DMCA 512 takedown?

@phoenix_r_d @airmessenger The idea of all these AIR advantages is nice, but the open source ethos involves developing in the open. Having invitation codes is a bad smell.
