but thats exactly why they did it! They want to be majority shareholder to get the company under their control, and the board was likely against putting more shares on the market!

Here it says that just a month ago, there were rumors that they would do it, but then it didnt happen, so I believe altman wanted to but the board did not.

Damn thats pretty dire. Apperently the nepali government is doing something about it, so good luck to them!

Anyway, this isnt relevant to the "cover of marriage" claim. That statistic is about marriage under 18, not polygamic marriage.

This is such a confusing and messy situation. There is definitely more going on that we dont know about. I already posted this in another thread but:

heres what I think could be going on:

tinfoil hat on

Some Microsoft bigwigs read the OpenAI foundation contract again and realise that they gave them a bunch of money but didnt get the nonprofit, and that they are now fully dependant on them, and that Altman is an experienced shark that knows this. They cant just buy the non-profit, the board would never agree. So they hatch a plan.

They get the lead researcher and a bunch of board members riled up against Altman, with a bunch of dirt they have on him. They tell them hes going to run off with the money and show some proof. The board decides to fire Altman. In the same breath but in another room microsoft hires altman, and promise all openAI employees employment at their new openAI bootleg. They then tell the board through the official channels, that they fucked up and need to resign.

Now, the situation was like this:

• Either the board resigns, and microsoft gets to put some puppets in their place and complete buying openAI
• The board doesnt resign, microsoft gets all their employees and the company in anything but name and openAI slowly fades in relevancy until Microsoft makes a generous offer of 150% above what they are worth(half of their price right now)

either way, microsoft wins.

so yeah, I think the next thing we are going to see is microsoft buying more openAI and getting actual control, or a complete buy.

Dont worry about the hyperbola developers. They have, after a careful consideration of what word to use, completly lost their minds when it comes to free software. They have such rigid standards about software that they have become much more restrictive than even the FSF. Just ignore them, its what I do to protect my sanity.

already...

The law did not ban polyamory, it is already illegal in nepal, so there is no "cover of marriage" there. It banned posting pro poly posts online. That is pretty harsh. Just because criminals use it does not mean stating your opinion had to be banned!

The only explanation I can come up with is that they just banned a bunch of stuff the legislators deemed immoral. I dont know enough about nepal to say that with any certainty, but my hunch is that pro-poly messaging may have been banned because of the muslim minority.

I got my information from the article about the new social media rules within that article here:

https://kathmandupost.com/national/2023/11/10/cabinet-passes-rules-to-regulate-social-media

the relevant passage:

The new rule also bars any post promoting wrong activities such as child labour, human trafficking, child marriage or polygamy.

so for nepal human trafficking and polygamy is in the same category of "wrong activities".

What do you mean its not the point? its literally a crime to post "vulgar" language, like you said a catch all term that they can use to censor anything they deem "vulgar". How is this not a law designed to censor?

For clarity, I am not the person you replied to, I wrote the comment above. Imo Usernames are a bit hard to see on some frontends!

in nepal posting in "vulgar" language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.

amazing work. I just changed all my production systems to UTF-Random! �������������������������������. �����������������������������!

pretty sure its not the communities themselves, they are just big enough captive audiences that are most likely to click on images, so they are a big target for stuff like this

Interresting. I didnt know it was using stow somewhere! Btw there is a guix home since last year, that works similar to nix home manager.

doesnt guix use the guix package manager?

Shoutout to the guix package manager, its really cool!

nope. But it keeps getting spammed on lemmy...

Ah yes bitcoin, the currency most known for being the most stable thing that big shady Companies dont gamble and manipulate the value of...

Also famously the most secure way to hold on to your money, as no bitcoins have ever been stolen by someone else🤡

How much of your life savings are tied up in extremely high risk investments like bitcoin? And do you really think the government doesnt know about your money when you convert it back to cash? And do you actually think that banks could just gamble your money away? You know that laws and FDIC exist, right?
