Bad program idea: you can select text anywhere and "copy" it. Then, you can put your cursor somewhere else and "paste" it. The secret sauce is that, before pasting, you spend a few seconds watching an AI spinner that magically washes away the original copyright and protects you from plagiarism.

i'm increasingly ranty today 

@swansinflight@fosstodon.org @TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org

maybe get a refurbished notebook? or not a starbucks coffee? stop the goddamn LARPing you do to get laid and act according to your words?

"but it's so hard to have self restraint!111", then don't complain if the world goes to shits, ffs.

so many possibilities, but the choice is to sit on a cozy chair in a slavery shop, drinking child-work-coffee and typing on a computer which wouldn't have to be so overpowered and overpriced if the "comfy" software you are forced to use wouldn't all be electron web shit.

in the mood for a rant 

@fribbledom interesting that julia reda now also can do the glorious word twisting for which other politicians are known.

copilot is not "ok". machine "learning" is just a mathematical transformation, not magically non-copyrighted because "a machine did it!!!111". i could as well just save windows source code in EBCDIC and say it isn't copyrighted anymore. OR ENCODE FUCKING MUSIC IN $CODEC AND IT ISN'T COPYRIGHTED ANYMORE! 🖕

our whole legal system is broken, everything is bullshit. have the money, buy the law.

maybe one shouldn't have based it on the roman law system.

NERO, GET THE TORCHES.

@cnx that of course sucks! aren't there good repellents for dogs? like the stuff there is against fleas?

@mangeurdenuage @cnx could also have been an ant! they are really easy to miss and the bites are quite painful

@cnx @mangeurdenuage the most unpleasant experience i've had was with swarms of black flys. no escape and they are too fucking many :)

regarding ticks, these removers are the bees knees: thewoofclub.ch/wp-content/uplo

если кто там беспокоился про Audacity со слежкой - то вот вам форк, уже сделали:
♲ @zloygik@mastodon.ml:

RT @cookiengineer@twitter.com

Oh boi, #audacity issue regarding legal terms and privacy policy exploded yesterday. Like, for real.

I created a fork that removed all those features, and we're currently working on a rebrand, github orga, and automated builds via GitHub actions:

"It feels like the last 20 years we've spent rebuilding all the stuff Unix users had builtin 20 to 40 years ago: online editors, shared home directories, etc. All sorts of things are repeating again.

One of the things Unix had was composability. If there's a table on a website now and one on another website, and you wanna join them? Fuck you."

for me thats "neatly aligned with tabs" :P

> Why handle multiple when spaces can do anything tabs can?

but they can't, somehow they always fuck up something for me! :)

indeed!

@bograt @rick

> The problem is you're gonna have both tabs and spaces if you use tabs.

what? why? additionally, that only should be a problem with python (and other languages which parse indentation..).

i hate that go fmt also uses spaces to align things as it tries to align them using the minimum amount of (visible) whitespace, but at least that's not a problem there :)

> Which imo is irrefutable evidence that tabs are inferior.

isn't it more evidence that the tooling is broken if it can't handle mixed whitespace characters? :D

@bograt @rick

🤷‍♀️ i never understood whats the problem with tabs, they are more elegant and semantically correct imho. just tell your editor how to render them.
