And of course I am taking trains *to* Kemijärvi, and *back* from Lagos, and going to 20 more #CrossBorderRail lines on the way. All of those are mapped here: https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/cros...
@nprofile1q... as a Spanish citizen, I'm curious why you singled out these two countries. Be blunt, I have no emotional attachment to my citizenship 😄
What @nprofile1q... has been saying for months: Big Tech monopolies bring "earnings so gigantic they’ll be hard to grow big from here".
Now they are betting big on AI to keep the mirage of hyper growth, but "the companies making money from AI are the ones selling the tools … and their customers are having a hard time monetizing that equipment". https://fortune.com/2026/03/19/rob-arnott-stock-market-outlook-magnificant-7/

«Copyright is a very weak tool for protecting creators’ interests, because copyright only gives us something to bargain *with,* without giving us any bargaining *power,* which means that copyright becomes something we bargain away.
«The middlemen who control access to our audiences have all the power, so when Congress gives creators new copyrights to bargain with, the Big Five (or Four, or Three, or Two, or One) just amend their standard, non-negotiable contract to require creators to sign those new rights over as a condition of doing business.

Heard today in my office:
"Do you remember the password?"
Two colleagues were trying to make the COFFEE MACHINE work.
@nprofile1q...'s enshittification is everywhere

When analysts say "businesses are demanding AI services" they mean "businesses believe they can replace workers with AI".
If AI can't replace these workers (and, in most cases, it can't) then it's a much different scenario, isn't it?

@nprofile1q... this is my usual script when I tested an LLM with something non trivial:
- Write a Foo processor
* Writes Foo calling made up std::foo() *
- That doesn't exist
* Replaces with Bar, which is unrelated *
- This is not Foo
* Reverts to Foo with non-existent std::foo() *

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... so the definition of enshittification has... enshittified? 😏

@nprofile1q... (I think?) I understand your point, but I don't agree with your initial premise. If a person wanted to say "your small change will have bad consequences down the road", they should have said so, or choose a different metaphor that doesn't compare the work of others to a malignant decease whose only point is to feed from the host until it destroys it.
I think the choice of the word "cancer" is not unfortunate, but deliberate, and it is intended to minimize any further discussion and infuriate part of the community, which may not be a CoC violation itself, but surely saying "R4L is a cancer" fails *all* the Linux CoC goals:
