  • I did a bit of research. As near as I can tell, there’s one (one!) paleontologist listed in the Epstein Files as “having contact with the Epstein organization,” Dr. Jack Horner.

    What does “I did a bit of research” even mean? Couldn’t it be that DinoCon was told about other cases that he is not aware of?

    Banning people for being in the Epstein Files is stupid.

    Sounds like a typical straw man argument to me. “engaged in correspondence” is not the same as “being in the files”.

    I’m in the Epstein Files

    Maybe he felt that it applied to himself and therefore did not read the announcement carefully.


  • If the poster wants nuance, they are free to provide it themselves.

    And that is the statement where I have to say that we must agree to disagree. I would find it a shame if the Fediverse just became Reddit 2.0.

    Frankly I don’t know of any software company using Github Enterprise on-prem …

    Self-hosted does not automatically mean on-prem. Most companies will not have their own server racks on site, but will either rent them or, most likely, use their own managed hyperscaler cloud. Github Enterprise Cloud, on the other hand, always runs on Azure and is managed by Microsoft.


  • What vibes do you think I’m going off?

    What I meant was that you read the comments, identified inconsistencies from your point of view, and then responded in a confrontational manner without including the whole context.

    You do have some good points. But instead of opposing everything that has been said, you could have differentiated much better.

    For example:

    • Public repositories on github.com are definitely used for AI training
    • Private repositories on github.com are suspected of being used for training
    • Github Enterprise Cloud is probably contractually protected
    • Github Enterprise Server is the most secure of all options due to contracts and self-hosting (and therefore the only valid best option for enterprises with proprietary code)

    All of the responses are saying that Github reads all code.

    The first comment explicitly mentions “hosted on GitHub”, which at least excludes GitHub Enterprise Server, which is self-hosted.

    The article is about an open source project that, by definition, uses public repositories.

    Github public and Github enterprise are products of the same organisation.

    Coming from someone who tells others that they first need to deal with “adult life”, I find this statement surprising. I work for an international company and manage several Github orgas with hundreds of repos. Whether the code is stored on github.com or on our own Github Enterprise server is highly relevant and makes a huge difference.








  • Yes, it’s the same in German. There are many different forms. And it’s interesting that even the spelling is often identical.

    In German, there are the following variants: Johann, Johannes, Jan, Yannick, Jens, Hans, Hänsel (old form, known from the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel”), Hannes and Henning.

    And the German biblical name is Johannes, too.









  • most having infinite data

    That’s a bold claim. Do you have some official figures to back that up? Where I live, I don’t know of anyone with truly unlimited mobile internet.

    The cheaper unlimited tariffs cost around €30, but have at least one of the following restrictions:

    • Speed limit after x volume used
    • Poor network coverage
    • <15MBit/s speed
    • Significantly increased costs after 2 years of contract term
    • Cancellation by provider if consumption is too high
    • only a few Gb at full speed included in EU roaming

    Genuine unlimited contracts with stable network coverage and 300 Mbit/s usually cost around €80-100 per month here. And unlimited EU roaming is still not included by default.


  • I had the same experience with Ubuntu many years ago. And I can’t speak for Pop!_OS since I never used it. Most developers only provide commands for Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora on their websites. So they don’t work all the time in derived distros.

    At least in Bazzite there is an “App Store” called Bazaar, containing many popular apps as flatpaks --> 1 click install. I generally like using the command line, but it was not necessary at all so far.
