I wonder if this involves Prisoner's Dilemma strategy. If you only play a single round, defecting is always the correct strategy. Cooperation only becomes a useful tactic if you know you will be playing the opponent again another time.

More proof that #linux #nixbook is completely usable by normal, non technical folks.

I recently donated 10 Nixbooks to a local community college that had a group of under privileged students that really needed computers.

These were non technical folks with no training whatsoever. Some didn't even speak fluent English. And yet the feedback has been amazing from it.

Thank you to all the #openSource heros that make this possible. And to #nixos for making one hell of a base

Hi Mike,

All's been well! The students didn't seem to
have any trouble using the computers. Like you
were saying, it's pretty easy to navigate without
much help. The translated instructions helped
for the Spanish speakers, too. | didn't give them
any instructions and just watched to see if they
could use them without help, and nobody had
any issues other than needing a bit of help
connecting to WiFi.

@Adorable_Sergal given the demographic of the average gentoo user it’s probably more UV exposure than they’re accustomed to so I kinda get it

How things are going for #AI

Goldman Sachs has launched an S&P ex-AI index, SPXXAI, which that lets you invest in the S&P 500 benchmark index minus all things AI.
This product is proof of the demand among investors for a way to hedge their exposure to the AI trade.

2020 Election was a Democratic Hoax & Trump really won—but you can’t see any evidence anyway

J6 was a Democratic Hoax & done by Antifa—but Trump had to pardon 1600 insurrectionists anyway

Epstein Files are a Democratic Hoax & Trump did no wrong—but Trump had to redact them anyway

MAGAs calling something a “Democratic Hoax,” in reality a confession of guilt.

EFF to #Wisconsin Legislature: #VPN Bans Are Still a Terrible Idea

S.B. 130 / A.B. 105 is a spectacularly bad idea.

It’s an #ageVerification bill that effectively bans VPN access to certain websites for Wisconsinites & #censors lawful speech. We wrote about it last Nov in our blog “Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing,” but since then, the bill has passed the State Assembly & is scheduled for a vote in the State Senate tomorrow.
