I would disagree, and I personally know people who have unionised IT workers. I also personally know people who have unionised workers at small companies. I don't understand why you would say unionisation is not relevant to you? If you're a worker then it is relevant.

Linux distro shouldn't really matter here. Given what you've said, I would recommend using Debian just because it's the most popular server distro and a lot of server guides will either assume you're on Debian, or have instructions for Debian. For instance, if you see suggestions to install software using sudo apt install software-name-here, that's for Debian.

You would probably want to use Docker for this. There are instructions on how to install Jellyfin with Docker here.

Join an organisation agitating for proletarian revolution. If there aren't any near you, you can start with trade union work to build a mass of militant workers that can form the base of a political organisation.

I don't upload photos anywhere public for this reason. For screenshots I just strip the exif data, and if it's a screenshot that goes from edge to edge of a screen, I resize it so as to not give away info on the size of my screen. I also don't share the same image in multiple places. If I have any kind of custom theming (fonts or colours) in a screenshot I also usually change it to something more generic, unless the point of the screenshot itself is to showcase the theming.

None? I've never felt the need to. I'm not categorically opposed to it, but it's never occurred to me that I should block a particular user.

Not really, open source projects don't necessarily have to be open to all contributors and I was aware of this already. They have to be open to anyone doing what they want with the code, by definition, which is good, but they don't have to allow everyone to contribute to upstream. I'm not sure if there's any particular defence against this being used in a discriminatory manner, but I do think this effect is significantly mitigated by the decentralised nature of open source and the fact that it's not too uncommon for forks to become preferred over the original, the fact that open source projects rise and fall in popularity, etc.

I wonder if there's some way to manage an open source project so that it's not subject to particular national laws in this way.

Yes, but less so than with gay men. A lot of lesbians won't identify as either, since penetrative sex is not super common with lesbians, but there are also some lesbians with a strong preference to either penetrate or be penetrated and not the other way round.

Well "AI" is a broad category. Usually used to refer to GenAI, so:

  • Creating quick stand-in art for a game before I've got proper sprites for it (not because "muh art theft", just because the AI art I've generated does not look very good to me)

  • Summarising articles, like you said so I can decide if I want to read them in full

  • Formatting text I've copied from pdfs

  • More complex searches that require comprehension of grammar and natural language syntax. Any answer I get to these I then fact check using search terms a classical search engine can understand.

I read a paper a while back that found that people who used AI assistants for coding, who only used the assistants to generate small functions where the prompt already included the function declaration and the programmer already knew how the function should be written but just wanted to save time, in these cases the use of an AI assistant did not negatively impact the "correctness" of the produced code. So I guess I might one day use an AI coding assistant like that, but thus far I've never felt the need to use AI-generated code.
