It has been ZERO DAYS since some GPL'd software made me "agree" to the GPL while installing it.

The GPL is not that kind of license: You don't need to agree to it. Agreeing to it changes nothing.

This just happens because installers have a premade "license" page and the GPL license seems like a natural fit.

But there's no point: You need to notify the user the software is GPL, but that's all.

An installer for "Reko decompiler for x86-64", showing the EULA screen, and the user needs to click an "I accept the terms in the License Agreement" to continue to the next page of the installer.

The license shown is the GPL version 2, which isn't the kind of license you agree to

Anyone know the total number of satellites currently in space? The numbers I see cite @planet4589planet4589 (Jonathan McDowell) but haven't seen him post any updates here recently, and not sure where to look for any authoritative count. Was just trying to quantify this in an intelligence way for my students. (random craptastic, non-attributed Internet search says 9,450-ish Starlinks, plus 2,500 odd other things in the sky... but since no attribution, no idea if it's hallucinated or not).
(Update: 9,634 Starlinks per @sundogplanetsProf. Sam Lawler , at least today on 2/3/2026)

Update to the update: Jonathan McDowell has this stats page, perfect!

국힘은 의견이 달라서 국회에 있으면 안되는 게 아니라 내란에 가담했고 이러한 과정에서 종교와 유착하는 등 민주주의의의 정상 작동을 극심하게 방해했기 때문에 정당을 해산해야 해서 국회에 있으면 안된다는 거에요

이미지 압축 알고리즘이 GenAI 식별용으로 사용될 수 있다는건 진짜 좀 흥미로운데. 이건 구조적으로 파훼하기 어려울 것 같아서 좋은듯. 'GenAI를 통해 생성되지 않은 동일 이미지'가 대조군으로 존재해야 확실히 기다 아니다 말할 수 있을 것 같긴 한데 사실 바이너리 레벨에서 완전히 똑같지 않으면 동일 이미지라고 말할 수 있나... 하는 의문이 생길 것도 같음.

그런데 그것 아세요? 자동차의 중량이 대략 1톤이 나가는 트럭이 시속 20km로 가다가 사람과 부딪혔어요. 이때 자동차의 운동에너지를 사람에게 100% 전달하는 경우 대략 15kJ의 운동에너지를 사람에게 전달하게 됩니다.
이 에너지량은 M82 대물저격총을 맞는 것이나 M2 중기관총의 탄환을 맞는 수준의 충격량이 전해지는 것이라 생각하시면 쉽습니다.
네..... 20km/h는 느리게 보이죠. 그런데 제대로 맞으면 죽습니다

"NSW Labor backbenchers have vowed to attend a Sydney protest against a visit by Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, with one stating he will be attending because Australia should not be welcoming the head of a state engaged in an “ongoing genocide”."
"Another member of Government said he was attending – despite the premier opposing any rallies – to show that “Bondi was not caused by such protests”."

なんか今日は買い物に出たらやたらご老人が多くて、スーパーでおばあちゃんに「すみません、これ開けてくださらない?」とペットボトルのカルピスを渡されるなどした(硬いですよねえ……と思いつつ快く開けてあげました)

I’m so bothered by all of the people who are supposedly on the ‘good’ side who use these things against their political opponents:

- making fun of people’s accents (make fuck, get green card is not funny even if you are mocking a horrible person)
- making fun of people’s weight
- making fun of people’s body parts and appendages
- using all kinds of ableist slurs and insinuations of mental health issues
- insinuating that people who think differently from you have ‘low IQ’ or developmental disabilities

Do better.

EDIT: forgot one. age
