A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

But it’s not personal. The entity you are interacting with has explicitly chosen to attack your systems for their own benefit, causing significant damage while disguising its intent and evading the systems which are supposed to protect your stuff from harm.

I’m not saying you need to go throw eggs at the developers’ houses. I’m saying that once an entity is actively harming you, it becomes okay to harm it back to motivate it to stop.

We don't disagree here. I'm just viewing it through the lens of climate and regime change, wherein it appears we're going to move away from renewables.

Do it off geothermal all day, so far as I'm concerned. Once you're burning hydrocarbons, the benefits become far less clear.

Yeah, the whole aspect of spending AI with all its associated costs to defeat the AI is a whole unpleasant aspect of it, for sure.
