RenovateBot supports a ton of languages, and ime works much better for the npm ecosystem than Dependabot. Especially true if you use an alternative package manager like yarn/pnpm.

> First, he published at least three hit pieces on the agent

Hit piece... On an agent? Would it be a "hit piece" if I wrote a blog post about the accuracy of my bathroom scale?

> They explained their motivations, saying they set up the AI agent as social experiment

Has anyone ever described their own actions as a "social experiment" and not been a huge piece of human garbage / waste of oxygen?

> There have also been other high profile cases of people being arrested for posting things that were not like that burn the hotel down case

Such as?

> Is nobody allowed to be concerned about any of this without being some horrible underground extremist, in your opinion?

Horrible underground extremist? Not so much. More likely just someone who consumes a very particular slice of media that puts a dishonest (at best) spin on situations like this.

The only semi-concrete example that article gives:

> After the Southport stabbings, several people were questioned by police over false communications for spreading claims the attacker was a Muslim immigrant. In one instance, a man pleaded guilty to the offence for a livestreamed video on TikTok where he falsely claimed he was “running for his life” from rioters in Derby.

That very much seems like an attempt to harass or invite harassment against a group of people...

> some for speech recognized as protected by international organizations.

Can you share some concrete examples from reputable sources that show these? Every examples I've seen have been clear-cut calls for violence, or unambiguous harassment.

There's a hate speech / violence law in the UK that is getting some people arrested for saying things like "round up all people of race X, put them into a hotel, and burn the hotel down." People like Joe Rogan and his ilk are re-packaging those examples as "people being arrested for just sharing their opinion."

The "real thing people are experiencing" is posting unambiguous hate speech or calls for violence, and then getting in legal trouble for it. Calling it "online activity" or "just sharing their opinion online" is the actual blatant misrepresentation of what's happening on the ground, akin to saying someone robbing a store was "jailed merely for getting food for dinner that night."

Considering the degree of "hate speech" a Tweet would have to contain to land someone in jail includes direct incitements of violence, I'm scared to ask what sort of opinion you'd like to share that you feel you legally cannot.

The claim that you get thrown in jail in London "just for sharing your opinion" is a myth, unless your opinion is, "round up everyone of race X, put them in a hotel, and burn the hotel down."

By far the worst part. By far.

Though having to push out a huge fart at the request of the nurse while they stare at you when you wake up is a close 2nd.

Everyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

Portugal. The man. The empire.

Absolutely inappropriate and disgusting. The government is literally trying to force companies to push tabloid-level garbage. Fox themselves claim they're "entertainment" and not news, and anyone with a 3rd-grade education would be able to point out how truly unserious Breitbart is as an outlet for true information.

Right? Especially considering the politics of some of the loudest AI evangelists. Do I want my fate decided by technology bankrolled by Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, Mark Zuckerberg, or Jeff Bezos?

Hell no.

Someone in another thread unironically called a midsized SUV a "matchbox". The vehicle in question has a size comparable to a Toyota 4Runner.

Was a great example of the ridiculous expectations some of us Americans have on ridiculously huge vehicles.

He's been posting extremely stilted political content lately, in addition to unchecked AI evangelism.

I really, really hate that our future has ended up in the hands of people like him, Andreessen, Thiel, Musk, etc.

"straight up bullshit" would be calling a 4runner-sized vehicle a "matchbox". Really highlights how ridiculous American's unnecessary lust is for massive vehicles.

Not only that, but it sounds like dealerships are still hardcore ripping off people who want to buy a RAV4 Prime. $20k over MSRP, refusing to sell without add-ons / warranty, etc.

Sure, in the same way that The Lord of the Rings is a really long trilogy about walking in the woods.

I absolutely adored the first 2 games, especially GTA2. "Damnation! No donation, nooo salvation!"

Donate to causes you care about.

Volunteer your time.

Adopt an animal that otherwise might be euthanized.

Pick up litter.

Be nice to strangers.

Kinda funny, Noem claimed to have arrested the "Leader of Antifa" in Portland a few days ago [1]. Turned out it was just some guy who lived near I.C.E. HQ, who let nearby protesters use his bathroom and clean out mace from their eyes.

I guarantee it's just a bunch of heavily edited clips of people like Tim Pool being told they're idiots by college kids.

So unbelievably fucked. Also so telling that the "Twitter files"-obsessed people are silent, or even supportive, of these subpoenas.

More likely that it's going to be the same kind of step for Tesla as the Oculus was for Facebook.

I remember when I was young and edgy, and thought dunking on parents was simply sharing hard truths.

Boy am I glad I grew out of that mindset.

There's a huge business case! There's also a major business case for teleportation, which seems about as likely to happen under a Musk-led company.

> Musk's goal all along was to get away from boutique production. He wants to sell millions of cheaper cars, not thousands of cars for wealthy people.

So the literal opposite of the Cybertruck, which was released less than a year ago.

You didn't restart the laptop for an entire year? That means you also didn't install any updates...
