But otherwise, it's just the college cohort voting themselves a handout they don't deserve, and it only deepens the degree divide: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/college-costs-working...
Go lookup the lifetime earnings of college grads vs. HS-only. Then go lookup the demographics (especially economic) of student loan borrowers. Then go lookup home ownership rates of college grads vs. HS-only.

You're concerned about LLMs stealing your code, yet you're still using Github in any form? You should be careful even using VSCode at this point, regardless of whatever promises they make.
Putting everything on github (public or private) is corporate OSS brainrot, as is MIT-everything-by-default (rather than copylefting everything).
In fact, back in the SF era, GPL variants dwarfed MIT/BSD by a wide margin:

I do the work because I see it as payback for all the great open source software I use all the time.
Something that isn't brought up enough in the "rewrite everything in Rust" discussions is that the API guidelines explicitly recommend MIT/Apache to "maximize compatibility" (i.e., corporate friendliness, or developer and user exploitation): https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/necessities.html#...
Your project has been around for a while, but it's crazy to me that anyone still open sources anything under MIT (or similar) in the era of LLMs. Are they that confident in their job security? Are they already independently wealthy? Frankly, even a proper copyleft license is likely to just be ignored, or the code laundered through an LLM-assisted rewrite, by these companies. I prefer to just keep anything I can't sell all to myself rather than release it, at this point.

> A few months later, CNN revealed that US intelligence agencies had warned Germany earlier in the year that Russia was preparing to kill Papperger, the most advanced of a series of plans to kill defense industry executives across Europe. The story did not mention the arson attack—which appeared to be an act of intimidation rather than an actual targeting of the CEO—but people familiar with the situation said the assassination plot involving Russian proxies was active at the time it occurred. The arsonists were never caught, leaving their possible involvement in the wider scheme a mystery.
...
> Papperger declined to comment on the plot to kill him, about which much remains unresolved. In June 2024 local prosecutors dropped the investigation into who planted the incendiary device at his home, citing a lack of evidence. Police in Düsseldorf also investigated the broader assassination plot but dropped their probe, saying they had no “concrete leads.” That surprised several people familiar with the situation, who say US intelligence had provided German officials with extensive details, including specific information about suspected individuals and intent.
> Even before the arson, the German government had quietly boosted Papperger’s security to a level equaling that of the German chancellor. This happened earlier than has been previously reported. Today, Papperger is surrounded by bodyguards 24/7. Two armed guards with machine guns are stationed outside Rheinmetall’s modern glass office headquarters in Düsseldorf, alongside two police vans. His white brick home in a wealthy suburb also has two police officers armed with machine guns, a police van and a police booth out front. Multiple guards typically accompany him to lunch or meetings.
Let alone a wheelchair ramp, apparently, even if you're a veteran:

> A paraplegic former member of the Canadian military shocked MPs on Thursday by testifying that the Department of Veterans Affairs offered her, in writing, the opportunity for a medically assisted death — and even offered to provide the equipment.
> Retired corporal Christine Gauthier, who competed for Canada at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics and the Invictus Games that same year, spoke before the House of Commons veterans committee and agreed to provide a copy of the letter.
> "With respect to me, I have a letter in my file, because I had to face that as well," said Gauthier, referring to the debate about veterans being offered the option of medical assistance in dying (MAID).
> "I have a letter saying that if you're so desperate, madam, we can offer you MAID, medical assistance in dying," said Gauthier who first injured her back in a training accident in 1989.
> Testifying in French, she said she has been fighting for a home wheelchair ramp for five years and expressed her concerns about the assisted dying offer in a recent letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
