nah, it’s been like this for years. i’m like 99% certain its because either their geo-ip tables don’t accomodate the ipv6 range, or, like in the case of netflix, hurricane electric blocks are marked as vpns.
but i appreciate the call to paranoia. it lets me know i’m among my people
i’m worried about the direction linux is going, and i am particularly worried about linus himself.
that said, the pivot to ai guy gets his bread buttered by being anti-ai. a number of people on the fediverse maintain their followings in part by constant, vociferous ai bashing.
i also hate ai! i think it’s dangerous and one of the worst things humanity has yet created!
but i can read the mailing list, i can look at the patch, and this is so overblown it’s nuts. nothing about what went on with this patch matches the descriptions people are giving it. someone even pulled a “i don’t understand the rcu that well” quote in order to make their point, but that quote isn’t from anyone really involved in the patch at all. it’s just cherry picking a loosely-related message in order to have something to scream at.
and, i hate to say it, but this is pretty common with dave and his crew of hangers-on.
it frustrates me to no end that the people who are most visible in the anti-ai camp are people like this, because it undermines everything when it’s so trivial to point out how they’re blowing things up way out of proportion in order to maintain their rage machine
it’s the vpn that does it, ime. i use a hurricane electric tunnel for ipv6 and it causes a lot of the big sites to get very anxious. over my residential ipv4 it’s no problem.
what else are you supposed to do when things aren’t done properly? it’s just common sense. not racist. the migrant crisis in europe proves that, surely. i just love to look across the pond at some of their creative ideas for how to deal with people who just refuse to do things the right way. if only we also had a large sea we could just let them drown in, instead of having to spend so much money after they get here. clever stuff there from enlightened europe!
“sensibly”
are you american?
oh no, here we say “the right way”
“pivot to ai” is the first i’ve heard of him. if you have examples of this behavior in other contexts, i’d love to have a look at it.
