astronaut #2

"do what scares you...that's why I'm [on artemis]"

clearly very risk-aware.

Comment · 7 months ago
from one of the artemis astronauts on livestream:

"It is very risky, and we are intimately [aware] of that risk"

ie It's not perfectly safe, and the astronauts are well aware of this fact.

> aims to be perfectly safe

obviously that isn't true -- it aims to be relatively safe

...but in any case - it aims to bring humanity to the moon. That's the aim. Keep your eye on the prize.

> this will hurt artists a lot as they need the fees paid by Spotify to make ends meet.

Anyone using DRM/paracopyright to "make their ends meet" deserves what they get. This is de facto theft from the public domain.

I am. Copyright is fucking cancer and is one of the worst things if not the worst things that exists to make creating new things harder.

Making bits available isn't "taking artists ability to live in a financially viable way" any more than radio, LPs and player pianos was. If you are an artist who is trying to make art and live do more of that and don't waste peoples time arguing for copyright restricting other people's activity on websites like this one.

"very easy" if you have access to the correct dependencies which outside of microsoft's walled garden, and access to a free LLM (https://elevenfreedoms.org/) which is not guaranteed at all

all of this looks very different when you have to patch in rust dependencies by hand outside of github.

Copyright has always been based on moral principles. 'Moral rights' have been part of copyright longer than "encourage innovation and hustle" has been something the government has considered worth promoting. The original copyright laws were about controlling who could print the bible, and the statute of anne was about encouraging learning while controlling what booksellers could and couldn't do. Copyright if anything was about preventing innovation from the very beginning, and slowing the hustle of culture down so that incumbents could edge out newcomers - a drama that has played out generation after generation

seems like shortwave can come back if 2 things come back * access to electronic components [ie something like radioshack used to be being accessible] * local governments stepping back of regulation of airwaves a hint

unless you have one or both of those things, shortwave is useful only iff the government collapses

Publishing to Github should be considered a crime.

> With those modifications, it then builds Python from source across a wide matrix of Python versions, platforms, and build variants (e.g., optimized vs. debug builds), and publishes the built distributions to GitHub Releases.

This should be illegal.
