I don't want open washed Grand Theft Autocomplete LLMs anywhere near my data. OSI hasn't defined open source AI, just open-washed proprietary AI. You should have nothing to do with it.
my need is for this "AI" crap to get tossed into the sun and stop turning every single application and service I use not only tremendously worse but also a direct attack vector on my privacy

Classic Sport Driving is designed in the spirit of retro racers like Lotus Turbo Challenge and Outrun, so if you like the old style of racing this one might be for you.

The Manjaro Linux team are asking for testers for their new data collection tool called "Manjaro Data Donor", which they plan to have as opt-out and not opt-in.
The privacy conscious person in me is all "urgh". But as a dev I understand the importance of this kind of data - and how opt-in can render that data as misleading.
Have you heard of a mineral called Ulexite? The block itself has quite an interesting structure and looks translucent when polished but if you lay it down on a surface you suddenly can see a clear picture from what is underneath!

Just published at the wonderful (open access) journal First Monday, my long-in-progress article on a general theory of how innovation events train us to forget: "Innovation amnesia: Technology as a substitute for politics" firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/โฆ
This paper outlines a theory of amnesia in the face of innovation: when apparent technological innovations occasion the disregard of preexisting cultural, legal, and infrastructural norms.
love the intuition of the paper, especially in acknowledging the challenges of modern governance as an important factor (which I think is too often ignored/handwaved in left criticisms of tech).
