The creator of Linux and the lead maintainer of the kerneI has made his position crystal clear:

"I realize that some people really dislike AI, but this is an area where I'm willing to absolutely put my foot down as the top-level maintainer.
Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it...Or just walk away."

This is very encouraging.
Usually the younger a person is, the more enthusiastically they adopt new technology.

AI is different though and Gen understand that they stand to lose the MOST from its rise.

"world first".
We've heard that one before fairly recently in Australia.
Can't remember where though. Getting old 😜

Outstanding resource. I don't agree with all the recommendations but it's an excellent baseline to start on.

41 percent of longform written content seen by users on LinkedIn is likely to be fully AI-generated.

A third of longer posts on X are AI-generated.

One-in-ten longer Reddit and Substack posts are AI.

I personally am implementing the most aggressive technical measures currently available to block AI scrapers and any other crawlers used to train LLMs, including CCBot which is used by the Wayback machine but unfortunately also very popular with AI companies to train their models.

This means Actionable Truth media will likely disappear from the Internet Archive in the not too distant future. I am fine with that.

Several widely used WordPress plugins are used as attack vectors.

Anyone who can't see the play at THIS point, it is only by choice!

@TUXEDO switched its TuxedoOS distro away from @Canonical Ubuntu and goes directly to @Debian .
I think this will become increasingly common as Canonical (a WEF technology partner) pushes AI and its own proprietary snap on to Ubuntu and thus all of its derivatives.
@nprofile1q... should do the same. @Linux Mint is obviously already there with LMDE.

This is TEXTBOOK example where it doesn't matter the slightest.

Whether Australia’s public broadcaster (read: government mouthpiece) uses AI or not, it will not matter the slightest to the majority of Aussies who no longer go anywhere near it.

Those who still consume their (far left) propaganda are too dumb anyways to tell the difference between content made by humans and AI.

The ONLY productive thing the ABC can do at this point is close down!

Starting September 2026, Google will require every Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing key evidence. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy.

Published this to mark 4th of July three years ago.

It aged quite well (if I may say so myself) but not as well as this 2009 speech by Ron Paul…

This is one of the most hilarious things I have seen recently.
Do the FEDS get extra pay for working on the 4th of July?
Only fair.
