If anyone else was curious, there is a CLAUDE.md in the repo

Ever is an extremely long time.

Prediction market advocates said they would make the hidden knowledge of crowds more visible.

What they actually did was build a financial incentive for information asymmetry.

Idk if yall have noticed, but the last thing we need in 2026 is another thing trying to manipulate what people believe.

Probably not for technical reasons, but for IP reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46554890

To be clear, the best case scenario here is a Chrome vs Chromium scenario, because they want the ability to slip in some proprietary components into their official build in order to play nicely with their paid services.

Seems fair to me, and I understand why that’s a substantial effort if they’re still at basically a PoC stage.

Edit: And for the record, I am much happier paying With Reach (Kagi) with my dollars than I ever was paying Google with my data, so I’m very much in favor of this model. Still, some neckbeards only wanna use software from orgs who are in it “for the love of the game”.

That’s a high-quality essay.

Only 100 hours?

Fear is, famously, an excellent impetus for rational decision-making. (/s just in case)

Just to be clear: this is not about protecting people.

This is just another squeeze, wringing the next few drops of accountability out of their sector.

They’re not really employing the drivers, so they’re not responsible for vetting them. And they’re not really selling rides, so they’re not responsible for what happens during one.

So what’s next? “Oh, we told drivers to get interior cameras, we told riders to be careful, we gave them checkboxes!”

Anything at all that they can spin as a value-add to shareholders, rather than allowing for any amount of responsibility towards the well-being of people who interact with their systems.

Can she explain why ICE hired a company (Five by Five Management) to handle IT for detention centers that has no previous clients and seems to be run out of a residential home? And then deleted evidence and requested immunity as a condition for trying to recover it?

This line of reasoning was already perfectly captured in Office Space: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yZjCQ3T5yXo

The real question is all the stuff beyond just having the distro installed. The packages, the services, the configs, the application data.

If you leave all that stuff the way it was installed via the old package manager, it may have some bad assumptions baked in and may be incompatible with packages you install with the new package manager.

And if you clear all of it out and reinstall it, have you really gained anything vs. just doing a clean install?

There’s a reason you have a home dir. Just copy that forward along with whatever other config files you might’ve customized.

Btw, if the ability to make drastic changes while still maintaining continuity is an important feature for you, maybe check out NixOS.
