My bank scammed me, now I have no money - YouTube
https://youtu.be/jdBoPWslt8s
GTA speedrunner DarkViperAU revolts against Commonwealth Bank for falsely advertising “pre approved overdrafts” and being an overall pain in the ass.
It’s amazing the amount of BS people are willing to put up with the fiat system out of inertia.

You know what’s funny? Our phones have more processing power than Xeons from a few years ago, yet we’re indoctrinated into treating them like thin clients.
My favorite conspiracy theory is that IPv6 adoption was purposefully slowed down to negate proper infrastructure for p2p applications, since NAT and CGNAT do not impact client-server applications in any meaningful way.

The smart answer is nobody really knows, but physical-chemical interactions seem to play a big role.
Science doesn’t even know how a bunch of atoms arranged together to form a living monocelular organism, let alone a complex system such as the human brain.
For all we know it’s all emergent behavior but we don’t know what we don’t know, and we shouldn’t naively ignore this fact when coming up with hypothesis.
I think life simply isn’t a solved problem, quantum entanglement still sounds like black magic to me and I wouldn’t put behind humanity figuring out some sort of “soul sensing machine” (very loose use of the therm soul here as a placeholder for an unknown unknown) in the future just like we can view radio waves in a spectrometer.

We don’t actually run software on our brains though. Even if we could, say, copy 100% of the memories of one biological brain into another, the resulting individuals would still be different from one another, consciousness can only be simulated by AGI, never truly experienced.
The fact that “copying individuals” is even possible with AGI further proves the fact that their “software/consciousness” isn’t inherently entangled to the commodity hardware they can be executed on.
Same applies to hypothetical 3d printed biological brain, you’re just pumping up the accuracy of the simulation.
Same case as animals, just because they aren’t human doesn’t mean acting like an asshole towards them is justified.

I agree that people often get caught up with “mine is bigger” and NIHS, but single source of truth implies single point of failure, and that is an unacceptable tradeoff IMO.
Sure you can have client side censorship on nostr but contrary to, say WhatsApp and Telegram where using certain alternative clients risks getting your account banned, there’s no one in charge of your nsec other than yourself.
Censorship resistance is more of a spectrum, and I wouldn’t say trying to make things censorship resistant is a death sentence to consistency, take torrent for instance, it’s p2p, more resilient than nostr and yet delivers fully consistent content.

This scenario actually could have some legal standing, assuming your friend personally signs a NDA before you show the code.
And you’re more likely to get both libertarian and real world courts to enforce a NDA than a copyleft license.
What’s even worse, even if you were to make a git host that provides a way for users to sign a contract before revealing the source code, it would still need to have an expiration date just like a normal NDA, contrary to the lifetime obligation of most copyleft licenses.
🤷‍♂️

2026-06-10 23:54:50 UTC

Massive companies have been violating GPL and other copyleft licenses long before AI became a thing, but on the other way around: by modifying code and not making the changes publicly accessible.
Once again, legal systems around the world have turned the blind eye for them, while simultaneously extending the expiration date of patents of potentially life changing medications and other shady stuff.
It is very clear that the system practices double standards, any and everything can and will be subverted to serve their interests.
Still, even if we take GPL to be a gentleman’s agreement, it would be desirable to build and promote ways to ensure a given LLM was trained on ethically sourced data… either willingly or not i.e. poisoning should at the very least make it possible to fingerprint data that “didn’t want to be there” (though most current poisoning tools target protecting audiovisual media).
——
Another way people look at it is like “since this thing snooped from everyone, everyone has the right to use it”, time doesn’t go backwards, the damage is already done so you should try to recover your losses through it.
“If you don’t do it, someone else will”.
Same kind of sunken cost fallacy with (ab)using tax funded “public” services.
——-
I don’t like this situation TBH, but I also don’t feel like shaming the plebs is going to help anything.
The people who threw molotovs into Scam Altman’s mansion had their hearts in the right place but even if their plan succeeded, there’s no putting the genie back into the lamp.

I think you can get this behavior for “free” by changing the navbar to use the native navigator thing from liquid glass.
Don’t quote me, last time I did iOS dev was using react native and liquidglass didn’t even exist but every time I switched an element from using a custom component to a native based one I noticed I would get this kind of thing for free. @nprofile…jejf

Read on the definition of scarcity in austrian economics. I’m not being utilitarian.
But I see where you’re coming from and even putting semantics aside, it still doesn’t work.
Your hyperbole would better describe someone literally hacking a developer’s laptop and siphoning unpublished code from there, when in fact they were downloading open source from GitHub.
Remember that these same principles also apply to movies, music, books etc.
The real hypocrisy here is that the state goes after individuals for downloading “copyrighted files” and don’t enforce their own made up rules when it comes to their close big tech friends.

2026-06-10 20:33:24 UTC

- reply

“Code” is just a file in a computer, just like music, photos etc. copying it does not damage or erase the original, so it fits more the definition of an idea than property. If it can be perfectly replicated it’s not scarce, and property exists to deal with scarcity only, not convenience or other arbitrary cases.
This is one of the reasons why Bitcoin is a big deal, digital scarcity was basically nonexistent before blockchains.

TBH all of the alternatives you cited are just as easily targeted by “law”.
Matrix can be made to not federate with certain servers (just like Mastodon), Telegram does client-side takedowns of certain content on app store versions of the app, WhatsApp probably does the same thing because very democratic countries such as Brazil stopped blocking them etc.

I don’t think this is related to relays. Nostr replies are “non-consensual”, anyone can reply to everyone unidirectionally.
Maybe we could have something that asks for OP’s signature to make a “reply” stick around so blocks would be more effective.

Yeah but other users that haven’t blocked the infamous npub are still going to see their notes.

Playing retarded’s advocate here but, nostr blocks are half assed: even after blocking someone they can still reply to your notes.
