  • "A federal probe into alleged workplace discrimination at Tesla, including “N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks,” has been abruptly axed by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 21.

    The order dismantled the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the agency responsible for enforcing equal employment laws among federal contractors."

    legal to be racist again I guess, not enforcing existing rules is the same as not having them, the favoritism on display here is just icing on this shit cake

    fuck the facists









  • This is an underrated story I think. Elon Musk literally purchased the opportunity to fire the person primarily responsible for regulating Space X which is intimately tied to his other business Starlink. This is exactly why billionaires are dangerous, why allowing unlimited political spending by private parties is dangerous, and showcases the utterly broken state of our current regulation arm. Fuck Fascist Elon Musk and all the people who enabled him to do this.










  • I’m just a rando on the internet but I suspect you’ll be just fine. KDE is much less memory intensive than it used to be and much of that reputation really had more to do with all the extras people would run (compiz etc…) Minecraft will work better if the server is on another machine but probably not enough better to make a big difference for you. Don’t worry too much, it’s pretty easy to switch window managers. Give it a try and see how it works!


  • This is exactly it, open source is not just the availability of the machine instructions, it’s also the ability to recreate the machine instructions. Anything less is incomplete.

    It strikes me as a variation on the “free as in beer versus free as in speech” line that gets thrown around a lot. These weights allow you to use the model for free and you are free to modify the existing weights but being unable to re-create the original means it falls short of being truly open source. It is free as in beer, but that’s it.
