This isn't true, a lot of corporations use and benefit from the foss and they should be supporting those projects.

They should also be supporting projects that could replace the applications that they spend millions on each year. When your CIO says that they are using 'whatever corpo system' because a viable open source project doesn't exist, they should start funding the non-viable projects so they can become viable.

No it won't. More sites doing this will keep the citizens of Mississippi shut off from the rest of the world.

Pornhub shutting off access to Texas didn't change any laws, and it didn't keep other states from passing the same laws.

Just following up, I bought some white clover and it has really taken off! This fall I'm going to get a huge bag and overseed my entire lawn.

Anyone running a newer MacBook Pro can install Ollama and run it with just a few commands:

brew install ollama

ollama run deepseek-r1:14b

Then you can use it at the terminal, but it also has API access, so with a couple more commands you can put a web front end on it, or with a bit more effort you can add it to a new or existing app/service/system.

Unfortunately I think most businesses will still prefer that their AI solution is hosted by a company like OpenAI rather than maintaining their own. There's still going to be a need for these large data centers, but I do hope most people realize that hosting your own LLM isn't that difficult, and it doesn't cost you your privacy.

You're exactly right. A one day boycott doesn't work. For it to work your need to have a day when you don't consume anything. But even then, that isn't feasible.

Cancel your subscriptions, and don't start them up again.

Divest your 401k from US money markets.

Get involved in your local government and start focusing on ways that your community can provide local services.

If you know where a morally corrupt CEO is going to be staying, let your local Luigi know.

These aren't easy things, but they can be effective.

Yes, that's how it works when one thing is more expensive than another thing. But people do save up money through one part of their life to spend during another part of their life. And they aren't the only people who used to think that Tesla's were cool tech cars.

There's a reason no one lives in fucking Wyoming. Why should they move from their seaside country to middle of nowhere Wyoming?

Let's move them to Florida's South East Coast. There's hardly anyone important there, and we can just relocate the people there a bit further inland.

The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: "If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let's work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here."

And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

And fuck this guy... why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?
