Brb, gotta go buy some cat food.
Sycophantic Mirror. Can't trust artifice intelligence.
Explains why my personal blog, wiki, and git repo keep getting hammered by hordes of AI company scrapers. If AI was intelligent, they'd download a single snapshot every month or so and share. But no, eight different scrapers using thousands of different IP addresses (to evade my fail2ban measures) each have to follow every single blame and diff link when a simple git clone operation would get them the hundreds of megabytes of content in one go.
They are getting better, though. More hits are to RecentChanges on my wiki, so there seem to be some optimizations going on. But I refuse to increase my operating costs beyond a few USD/month to serve AI bots when I know barely anyone human visits.
“I'd like to raise a family. Let's see what a 4-bedroom condo costs in the city with decent schools and transit. 2 000 000 USD? Hah. No kids it is, then.”
Another one that's not corporate
Isn't it owned by a company called Jetnet?
Justin Ling. (2023-01-27). “The Flight Tracker That Powered @ElonJet Just Took a Left Turn”. wired.com. Accessed 2025-10-16. “A major independent flight tracking platform, which has made enemies of the Saudi royal family and Elon Musk, has been sold to a subsidiary of a private equity firm. And its users are furious. ¶ ADS-B Exchange has made headlines in recent months for, as AFP put it, irking “billionaires and baddies.” But in a Wednesday morning press release, aviation intelligence firm Jetnet announced it had acquired the scrappy open source operation for an undisclosed sum.”.
Criminals for wearing masks, thus denying rule of law.
Sounds like a quote from Murderbot. Something about the importance of protecting diverse society because that's how you make sure your favorite shows keep getting produced, even if most of the people in that society are too stupid to keep themselves from getting enslaved to corporate psychopaths among them.
I really enjoyed Chokepoint Capitalism (2022), the book he co-authored (read: had someone else back up his frequently repeated anecdotes with reputable citations in a proper Bibliography) with Rebecca Giblin. 90% of the interview can be found in that book already with 10% being new slogans and anecdotes that can't be found in that book.
Sul sul!

Hamas is crazy as Crazy Horse was “crazy”. You know what both have/had in common? They are/were fighting displacement of their friends and family due to colonizing powers. The only difference is the latter's people suffered almost complete annihilation while the former is a work on progress. If the British didn't insist on making Palestine their reservation for Jews, then Palestinian freedom fighters wouldn't have had to fight Zionists violently encroaching upon their native land.
