I don’t understand what you’re talking about and therefore I don’t know what you mean by “dataset” in this context, but I do know that generally speaking in the US, data isn’t copyrightable.

I’m a socialist, so yes, I dig “government overreach” over petty bourgeois libertarianism.

I take it you’ve never lived in an agricultural area with low rainfall. It’s a precious resource that is often managed communally out of necessity. It’s very common in Mediterranean climates.

People who own property and therefore are subject to local ordinances may be relatively privileged, but that’s neither here nor there. They have local property ordinances to deal with regardless. Such ordinances are in fact usually about keeping property owners from hording a public resource, namely rainwater.

MIT does not force you to not make your project free.

Given the double negative and the ambiguity of “free,” I don’t know what you’re trying to say here.

CTRL+M is like pressing ENTER. Kernigan & Pike, 1984: UNIX Programming Enviornment

RETURN is an example of a control character — an invisible character that controls some aspect of input and output on the terminal. On any reasonable terminal, RETURN has a key of its own, but most control characters do not. Instead, they must be typed by holding down the CONTROL key, sometimes called CTL or CNTL or CTRL, then pressing another key, usually a letter. For example, RETURN may be typed by pressing the RETURN key or, equivalently, holding down the CONTROL key and typing an ‘m’. RETURN might therefore be called a control-m, which we will write as ctl-m.

The downside of Chromium-based browsers is Manifest V3. As for Vivaldi in particular, it isn’t open source.

Best practice is not to use raw credentials on the command line because it exposes them in process listings and shell history files.

Citations Needed podcast: Episode 66: Whataboutism - The Media’s Favorite Rhetorical Shield Against Criticism of US Policy

Since the beginning of what’s generally called ‘RussiaGate’ three years ago, pundits, media outlets, even comedians have all become insta-experts on supposed Russian propaganda techniques. The most cunning of these tricks, we are told, is that of “whataboutism” – a devious Soviet tactic of deflecting criticism by pointing out the accusers’ hypocrisy and inconsistencies. The tu quoque - or, “you, also” - fallacy, but with a unique Slavic flavor of nihilism, used by Trump and leftists alike in an effort to change the subject and focus on the faults of the United States rather than the crimes of Official State Enemies.

But what if “whataboutism” isn’t describing a propaganda technique, but in fact is one itself: a zombie phrase that’s seeped into everyday liberal discourse that – while perhaps useful in the abstract - has manifestly turned any appeal to moral consistency into a cunning Russian psyop. From its origins in the Cold War as a means of deflecting and apologizing for Jim Crow to its braindead contemporary usage as a way of not engaging any criticism of the United States as the supposed arbiter of human rights, the term “whataboutism” has become a term that - 100 percent of the time - is simply used to defend and legitimizing American empire’s moral narratives.

Not that it matters, because I didn’t make a whataboutist argument in the first place.

In other news, Five Eyes & Western corporate media disinformation network flooded training data to manipulate Western AI chatbots.

A “well-funded” online Russian disinformation network called Pravda put out 3.6 million articles last year, many of which were processed by popular chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o, Claude (Anthropic), Meta AI, Gemini (Google), and Copilot (Microsoft), according to a new report from the watchdog group NewsGuard.

This is ridiculous framing. Just as no one forced OpenAI, Meta, Alphabet, or Microsoft to scrape Western propaganda sites like those of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, no one forced them to scrape Russian propaganda sites like Pravda.

Jumping the shark was a—metaphorically and in one case literally—real thing that used to happen, back when 22 or more episodes were cranked out per season, leading eventually to there being no juice left to squeeze from the show’s premise, causing it to go off the rails. It doesn’t mean just a “decline in quality,” or at least it originally didn’t.

it’s going in the bin

oh no! anyway.
