I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Nice, I had no idea

    I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

    • Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
    • Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others

    I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

    It might be the thesis, but it definitely raises discussions on why some protests work and others don’t. It’s true that a one and done protest is easy to ignore. That doesn’t mean all protests are ineffective.

    Historically, protests were effective when they were the signal that people were unhappy, and that if something didn’t change, people would take further action.

    So I’m order for protests to be more effective:

    • they need better organization and consolidation instead of being distributed
    • they need a clear set of actionable demands, so that protestors know when they need to ratchet up to the next level of escalation
    • they need to have agreed upon levels of escalation that will be followed by those attending the protest. That could include general strikes, focussed boycotts, focussed civil disobedience, etc.

    Simplifying it down to “🔫 or nothing” is just as silly as the octopus protest, in that people need to find the right set of actions for each situation.

    As for the US specifically, I don’t see what an immediate armed revolution would accomplish.











  • Date

    As of April 24 you’ll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out

    Current scope

    The code locker’s revised policy applies to Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ customers, as of April 24. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users are exempt thanks to the terms of their contracts. Students and teachers who access Copilot will also be spared.

    To opt out (link edited by me to make it clickable)

    Those affected have the option to opt out in accordance with “established industry practices” – meaning according to US norms as opposed to European norms where opt-in is commonly required. To opt out, GitHub users should visit github.com/settings/copilot/features and disable “Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training” under the Privacy heading.
