I mean self repair without renting proprietary equipment, having to soften glue with heat, etc. I used to be able to swap batteries in seconds without tools. Some laptops could do it without shutting down.

If only they had user replaceable batteries, or repairable devices

> SCOTUS isn’t being ignored.

SCOTUS rules 90%+ for Trump (lower courts are 90%+ against). They've given him freedom from investigation and criminal prosecution. They aren't much of a bulwark.

> People absolutely have the right to call out lies about the 2020 election and have repeatedly done so.

Some at the cost of their careers and a few now face the threat of prosecution.

China is a low bar. We shouldn't accept any of this as normal.

That's only a half measure if AI companies ruthlessly consume anything they can get. Microsoft might ignore repo visibility, they can still consume it. OpenAI may have a backdoor by nature of its apps/harnesses running on dev machines that do have copies of your project.

I guess you're safe with a privately self hosted project that you only share with people who don't have any AI and won't reshare it.

Then again, if you even distribute only binaries then in theory the AI could copy those and reverse engineer them, or just mutate the binaries.
