    what's most incredible about this date representation is that it was introduced after Y2K. it wouldn't have worked up to [19]99
    think about it. someone implemented that after all the many years of preparation and patching decades-old systems for Y2K, knowing (or, worse, without realizing) that it had at most a couple of decades of use. how screwy and irresponsible is that?

    to me, the right is about depriving people of rights to facilitate exploitation by the privileged, while the left is about rights (oh the irony) to defend from abuse and to promote collective well-being

    I don't have any insights into what Evan meant, but I hope you don't mind if I offer other possibilities of what he meant that are quite different from how you seem to have taken them:

    - a companion AI could be something that helps us sort out the info deluge we live in and bring our attention to things that matters for us. the key is for it to serve *us*, not some third party, as I brought up at the end of the Post-Truth Santa speech
    https://www.fsfla.org/~lxoliva/#santa

    - calming could be as opposed to alerting. I've seen this term used in relation to traffic, which doesn't mean the traffic is actually calming, just that it's supposed to avoid inducing anxiety like the constant events we get from non-calming, attention-slavery tech

    you appear to expect 'freedom' to mean 'absence of requirements'. that's not the case. you have freedom to do or not to do something, even when you are under limitations that don't substantially prevent you from choosing either alternative. the GPL is written so that you have permission to distribute the program, even as object code, if you so wish, but you're only allowed to distribute it in specific ways, namely, ones in which the object code is accompanied either by complete corresponding source code, or by a commitment to offer it. that's hardly a substantial limitation to that freedom, so you do have freedom to distribute.
    the last sentence you quoted appears to be mistaken as a restriction, but it's not, it's merely a statement of fact about behaviors that copyright reserves to copyright holders, and that the GPL doesn't license out because they do not stand in the way of the essential freedoms, and limiting them actually defends the freedoms of other users from abuse

    I have no clue whom you refer to as my compatriots, but that's probably another misconception. I'm a free software advocate, and free software does not restrict users (or anyone else) on what they can do with the software. copyleft cleverly takes advantage of some limits copyright places on distributors to keep them from abusing users, but that's not a restriction on what they can do with the software. there are other groups, that oppose free software, proposing and promoting licensing that purports to limit who can use the software, but we free software people oppose these ideas

    why oh why can't we authenticate against web sites with ssh keys (and ssh-agent)?
    yeah, keys can be copied. one can also copy a FreeOTP+ token
    it feels so much like security theater :-(
    like a scam to stop people from automating stuff so that we can't compete with those who don't self-impose such roadblocks

    it looks like you incorrectly assume that running programs is an exclusive right reserved to copyright holders. it isn't. the only rights that could be terminated are those that are granted in the first place, and the GPL does not grant permission to run programs, it only affirms your (preexisting) rights to run them

    so which restriction(s) do you mistakenly assume the GPL imposes on users? can you quote the passage where it states that alleged restriction?
