i was on HRT for five years before i was on transgender HRT. i was on a low dose of spironolactone for my blood pressure. the doc just gave it out like nothing. it's just when someone wants lower T for gender reasons that it's suddenly something the state needs to violently stop.

I feel like surely people on this network would appreciate knowing that the BBC sound effect library, from which you may freely download, has 716 distinct recordings of clocks specifically https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/

It is fantastic that AI companies can freely scrape copyrighted stuff from the Internet, but downloading of `youtube-dl` is illegal in the whole EU, because Hamburg regional court said so .. 🤦‍♂️

Endless rage at commentators that say things like "Kids these days are addicted to their devices" because:

1. Look at adults. We are too.
2. Why do you think that is? Perhaps because we built cities where you NEED to drive to go anywhere and EVERYTHING costs a ton of money that young ppl don't have?
3. When young ppl DO hang out together they get called loiterers, troublemakers and get the police called.
4 The solution they have is to ban their phones instead of listening to their needs.

Did you know that Activision were due to release an ambitious Alien VS Predator game in 1993, where you had essentially three different games in one. It was tragically canned after licence issues.

somebody asked how people who have historically been anti-copyright could be against AI content theft, so let me give this a shot:

Information wants to be free to enrich human knowledge. It does not want to be free to make human knowledge worse to enrich the pockets of assholes

Interesting discussion from ICS vendors on who to pin liability on for the security performance of open-source code given the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act.

I'd argue that, if you want to use an open-source project in a product that you intend to sell, you should be contributing to that project, e.g. by auditing the code and fixing vulnerabilities.

The free lunch for vendors is over.
