@svpino Cannot understand where this percentage came from (maybe ass?)
>10% ALL humans will be killed by AI 2036..

I’m thinking this is just strange marketing BS, maybe somehow fear sells..🤷‍♂️

Love the humble beginnings of Linux:

”won’t be big and professional” &
”probably never will support other than AT hardware”.

Thanks Linus for kickstarting truly remarkable goobal collaborative effort!

No one could have known that telling programmers "spend as much money as possible on this new agent technology; whoever spends the most money wins!" would result in companies spending too much money on this new technology.

I’m glad Finland is also there opposing Chat Control 🤗

[Tuta @TutaPrivacy]

Thanks everyone for your help and keep fighting the good fight. 🫶

Chat Control will not get a majority - at least not today.

I trippe over a copy of Rudyard Kipling's Oath of the Engineer a few minutes ago. I'm not sure I've ever seen the full version before!

"On this day, in the presence of my fellows in the Calling, I bind myself upon my Sacred Honor, that to the best of my knowledge and ability, I will not suffer or pass, or be party to the passing of, faulty Workmanship or Material in that which concerns my works before God and Mankind as an Engineer. My Time I will not refuse; my Thought I will not begrudge; my Care I will not deny, toward the excellence of the works to which I am called to set my hand. My fair Wages I will openly receive; my Reputation I will honorably guard; but I will demand no more than what is due; nor will I demean the works of my fellow Engineers, but correct their errors with a humble spirit, and gladly accept correction of my own. For the failures and oversights which I will surely commit, I ask the pardon of my fellows; and I pray that in my hour of need, the words of this Oath will sustain me, and give me the strength to do what I must. SO SAY WE ALL."

Words to live by. I have tried to.
