@dramforever@mastodon.social @whitequark@mastodon.social I don't know why *any* Chinese company is allowed to have access to anything that has cryptography from the West. It's very confusing how this stuff is selectively enforced.

@sun@shitposter.world @whitequark@mastodon.social you're not always allowed to speak of it. Like when ITAR was in effect on certain products, @SlicerDicer could not even reveal the existence of certain things on his MK15 to anyone. Period. I don't even think he was even supposed to mention ITAR to anyone.

@feld@friedcheese.us @whitequark@mastodon.social because they didn't say why, they just made vague references and Linus acted like a dickhead about it.

@whitequark@mastodon.social but why are people acting like this is a new thing? Laws are laws. This is not a new thing in the open source community. It was obvious that this was OFAC related

<p>What I&#39;m listening to today: &quot;full moon 20240918&quot;, Veltenhill</p><p>This one the focus is more the video than the music, but what a video! Pure abstraction, JPEG macroblocks the size of planets, no content, no structure, nothing for your brain to grip on. Stare directly into the laser. To me the function of art is to construct qualia that we cannot experience in ordinary life and cannot express the character of through any method other than to re-experience the artwork itself</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f1BZ242XxI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=4f1BZ242XxI</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
