The first paragraphs of that are good points. The rest is just Stallman going on a political rant attacking strawman arguments.

There would be music programs allowed only for rap music, and others allowed only for classical music.

I get where this is coming from, and it's good to move away from the libertarian fantasy that technology is neutral. But in practice, it is very hard to actually use.

For example, you can't use any GPL code that you may want to include, as that forces your project to also become GPL. And anyone using your code would also have to walk on eggshells for licensing, and they would probably just avoid it in the first place.

It might be useful to some very specific end products, but this will likely not see a lot of adoption.

Great job, the system is broken as fuck anyway. The fact that he used AI to do it is the karmic cherry on top! Ideally, you should be able to run the model on the cloud of the company you're interviewing for, just as an extra 'fuck you'.

You seem completely detached from the grueling experience of being interviewed, so it's unsurprising that you don't understand why somebody would want to burn this whole thing down.

No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

Client side is completely out of the question here. You can't just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon

Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)

This is the initial reason for the invention of "The Algorithm" on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.
