I’m glad no one brought up the LONG tradition of “OpenSomething” actually being not very open at all in relative terms. See “Open Group” as the reference case.

Am I neglecting my open source projects? Is this still being maintained??

Working in computer security, I've learned to be *real fucking careful* about this law and have heard of it being interpreted *very broadly.* If a client of mine described a system to circumvent access restrictions like this I would fire them. But assuming I didn't fire them, I would
1) tell them to shut it down immediately
2) tell them to talk to a lawyer.
LLMs, as a class of user, are clearly not authorized to access the information. By circumventing access controls, they have "knowingly accessed a computer without authorization." Those access restrictions exist to protect against various damages, including bandwidth use and "intellectual property theft" (another concept I'm not a fan of, but anyway). By violating those restrictions they could open themselves up to legal liability.
Now, IANAL. My job is to describe risk. That's a sufficient risk. It actually doesn't even matter if you'd win the case in the end, a lot of people just can't afford to fight.
But, in this case, it tends to be powerful people, for whom the law does not apply, abusing people who neither have the protection of the law nor the money to just ruin someone's life with a flood of lawyers.

Non-invasive optical stimulation for induction of auditory perception
Hearing loss affects communication, learning, independence, and social well-being. While cochlear implants have transformed treatment for severe hearing impairment, they require surgery and are often associated with post-operative complications. They also rely on electrical stimulation, which can limit their precision. Researchers are therefore exploring whether applying optical neural stimulation through brain-machine interfaces can mitigate these limitations. However, the effect of laser stim…

In 2001 there were no iphones, email was the predominant form of all online communications, people were arguing about the utility of TCP MD5 auth on BGP sessions, and there was no such thing as passive DNS.
I was a volunteer helping with the "shownet" at Networld Interop in Atlanta on September 11. This would be the last N I I would attend.
Volunteers from umich brought up a live TV news stream via IP multicast from their university into a TV by the NOC where many of the teams and vendors could watch events unfold. I believe we saw the second plane hit on that TV that morning.
Surely a bit of exaggeration of our importance, but some couldn't help but wonder about the potential loss to the Internet community if there was some sort of attack in Atlanta that day.
The first rumor/conspiracy I heard was when someone told me a number of people of a certain religious persuasion did not show up for work at CNN that day, as if they all were in on it.
I remember the same night, many bars and restaurants were open. I remember seeing some (not many) people I knew partying almost like nothing happened and I will forever feel guilt just for being there.
My friends from umich and I ended up driving back home due to days-long closure/restrictions of the airspace. For weeks after ever I'd get triggered when I heard a plane in the sky, an eventually increasingly occurrence when you live and work around the Loop in Chicago.
Infosec was already becoming increasingly important, but that day was perhaps a real milestone when it began to eventually eclipse networking in importance, organizational decision making, and commercial product focus.

Sunday Morning. 09.45 am now. Been awake for some time, but only just got to sit down at the computer. Made coffee first of course. It’s a bright sunny day, currently 67° outside and a few degrees warmer inside. Windows are open though, to have some nice fresh air through the house since being shut overnight.

And no, my good people, that idea of the computer being “reshapable” is not only — not even primarily!! — about FOSS. Linux barely has this property any more than macOS or Windows does. Yes, it is technically possible to rewrite the window manager for yourself. But in practice? There’s a huge skills barrier — which is the result of a huge •customization interface• barrier — to wild reshaping by general users.
That’s an ethos far better embodied by closed-soucre Hypercard than by open-source Linux. It’s not about who has the source code or the legal right to change it; it’s about the range of tinkering affordances the software offers to everyone.

It's interesting to know about some of the historical strategies for preventing revolution. There were basically two strategies to protect the institution of monarchy.
Metternich believed that brutal repression was the only answer: censor the press, monitor communication, create a coalition of kings and persecute revolutionaries wherever they could be found. Giving even an inch, he believed, would open the door to revolution.
But there was another approach: concession. By giving a little bit - create a constitution (even if it's meaningless), allow people to vote (even if the people they vote for have no power), etc - could offer a release and prevent revolution. There are still monarchies in Europe. They're no longer absolute, but they still hold a lot of power (even if people *think* of them as being decorative). They held that power by giving up a little bit at a time to slow down progress.
The fact is, they were both right.
The US has kept their regressive oligarchy stable by oscillating between the two. We are in the brutal repression phase, where concessions are stripped away and radicals are suppressed. This phase breaks up the progress made and pushes back the clock. The next phase, if the US makes it that far, if the fascists are smart enough to let go, will be concession. They will give a few inches to keep everything from collapsing. They'll give just enough room to get people back to brunch.
While they're at brunch, the next phase will be planned.
This is not really conscious, but an emergent behavior of the two party system. It's just kind of how the dichotomy of liberalism and conservatism works. Government is a fundamentally oppressive entity. The question is really, how long will we let the pendulum swing? How small of a concession will we accept, or will we demand everything now?

#FLOSS ecosystem.
I don't think we have a clear idea yet of what's to come, but a recurring image in our conversations is that of feudal age alchemists: closed, hermetic, underground groups, sharing knowledge in tight secret circles, never with the wide public... it's certainly not a pretty picture, but it might be the "rational" conclusion for many.
When we see the threat of big corporations (or just petty unimaginative people) stealing our work, what can we do, when collective action has been labelled as criminal activity, other than hide or risk the severe consequences of being combative?

In the past, I would have argued that projects like No Trace (https://www.notrace.how/) were a bit much for normal operations, that security is always balanced against accessibility, that they often end up followed without thought at the detriment of organizing.
This is not something I'm arguing, at least not as much, now. It is time to adjust your threat models. Things that were relatively safe are no longer safe. Things that were considered too radical need to be brought on to the table.
This will not get better until it is made better. The normal paths of making things better, of community building and mutual aid, are being closed. Build connections while you still can and decide what you will do when you no longer can organize in the open.

I respect Kelly Hrudey a lot. He has always been very open about his own mental health struggles and used his platform to advocate for people to take mental health seriously, with compassion and care.
No surprise Rogers would not renew his contract.
Hockey is essentially dead in Canada now as a national pastime. It is for the wealthy. Hockey will still be important, but it’s really just one of many sports now that we have to choose to pay to watch. It costs a fortune to play.
The day the CBC gave up being the prime sports broadcaster in Canada, with Hockey Night in Canada broadcast every Saturday for decades, was the day we lost a unifying force in this country. Remember when Carney said he’d help the CBC out? Haha. Whatever.
Wishing Kelly all the best. Thank you sir. ❤️ 🥅
