Open source is about ideas being freely shared and iterated on. Open hardware has benefits, making a lot of things more accessible to people. It's not the end all of sustainability, but it doesn't pretend to be either.

Discord movie night with some friends. Double feature of First Wives Club and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I don't believe it's possible for a CA to decrypt TLS traffic with their private keys. They sign a site's public key with their own private key after verification but are never given the private key itself. Public CAs only provide identity verification, they do not take part in the encryption process itself. Let's Encrypt is perfectly safe in that regard.

I see season 1-9 packs on both IPT and TL.

To be fair that's a pretty recent development. Jellyfin apps for smart tvs are only just becoming stable enough for real use. Plex was the only option for a long time.

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn't really care about ad revenue.

The headline gives a bad first impression but I think the text itself has an interesting point. As it stands right now (in the US) the AI gatekeepers can't copyright any of their output. So each and every piece of generated media is one more piece added to the public domain pile. Most of it is worthless but if there's anything worth building on someone or someones can do that.

Most people don't run into any issues with mods online. If you're constantly running into "asshole" authority figures in online communities it might be you...

It's primarily private insurance (at least in the US) that drives that. The doctor can prescribe something and then a "doctor" who works for the insurance company can take a 10 second look at it and deny it outright in favor of a more profitable treatment.

Can we stop pretending language models know things?

I have to believe an experienced holodeck user would be able to detect some of the telltale signs pretty easily. Like replicated food, if you see it enough you probably notice "holodeck vase #5" showing up scattered around the background of scenes as clutter. Or even minor visual distortions where it switches from 3d to the false horizon.
