Okay, well....first of all every year is the Year of Linux Desktop if you are a massive nerd.

So jot that down.

You know, I think that the LLM bros have it backwards.

Which, yes, so many things. But especially about usage.

See, if someone uses LLMs a lot, then there's really no need for -them- to be in the org at all; you can dike them out of the situation and leave the LLM instance "contributing" the same as they would.

So ideally, you should fire all the headcount that makes extensive use of LLMs and replace it with diversity of talent that does NOT use them, to give you the largest possible skills pool.

It's only logical.

The fact that opening a Mastadon link can send you to a Bluesky link, which sends you a paywalled subtack post is abusive

It is established and hereby declared that cursed be any person who willfully publishes, or through inaction allows to be published, on the World Wide Web (WWW) a document, collection of documents, or service which dynamically constructs and delivers documents whose intended purpose is historical or informational reference, and which does not, in the rendered HTML thereof, provide appropriate unique identifiers in the form of HTML `id` attributes, which may be used to construct hyperlinks by which a user may navigate from another WWW document directly to the aforementioned section of content.

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.
