Public contribitions would be licensed under GPL and owned by the contributor. They would not be allowed to use those contributions themselves without releasing their product as open source.

I'm not sure why this surprises you. MIT OR Apache is standard for Rust libraries.

Not everyone wants to copyleft their code. People write these libraries with different goals in mind, and sometimes someone wants to use their own library in their own closed source project.

And if the state tells the federal government to go fuck itself?

The Guardian reviewed training materials developed by the JUF [Jewish United Federation] and the Anti-Defamation League, which both push pro-Israel agendas in the US, and found the overarching message is that criticism of Israel or Zionism is antisemitic.

Who could have possibly guessed this would happen?

My job has AI usage as an objective as well. It's ridiculous. If a tool will make my job easier, then I'll be the one to tell you, and I'll be the first person advocating for it. The people in charge aren't doing my job, so they can fuck off with the micromanagement.

Am I missing something here? The article talks only about how user data was exposed, including the data on men being discussed in private messages. I don't see any mention about any of what's being discussed in these comments.

I get that there's probably some talking behind backs or whatever going on in the app, but both criticism and defense of it seems completely irrelevant to the article in question.

If anything, the article goes to show just how wide of an impact the breach has. It not only is a violation of the users privacy (again), but also of personal information of non-users, including relationship history and sexual preferences of both the women on the app and the men they're discussing.

Sometimes I wonder what the gender field is even for anymore. In this case, it's clearly there just so you can select that option.

As an aside, a website I used to use decades ago had a relatively harmless vulnerability in its "sex" field in the profile editor, allowing you to submit any value you want, and the website would render what you submitted. The field was also specifically called "sex", not "gender". You can imagine what values people put there.

Maybe we can get the people pushing for this to give the chairs a test run to make sure they still work?

Imagine if it were Nintendo suing over IP infringement.

Anyway, it's Roblox and Discord. Both platforms have a history of stuff like this. It's sad how prevalent it is, and I have to wonder how many people are out there setting up these environments just to target children.

Cybertrucks have a lot of problems, but this seemed to be a clearly intentional explosion by somebody.

That aside, can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it? That seems like a much bigger problem, especially since Mr. Musk is practically our next president.

Nah, that's not him. We were hanging out that day. That's not your guy. Sorry officers!

Minecraft. Back when I started playing, it wouldn't even tell you what recipes existed, yet gave you a 2x2/3x3 grid with hundreds of types of items/blocks to figure it out yourself.

Still one of my favorite games though.
