A very bad one if it requires switching off a large portion of your brain to find it funny.

This is on the people for using a discourse space that is not being maintained. I agree only that recent actions by it’s leadership team has be suspect.

Being good has nothing to do with having to maintain your company’s code base that’s in Oracle’s Java SE 1.6.

You can’t just design your way out of a conflict whose solution is to change either the existing system architecture or change Java versions,

both suggestions will get you laughed out of the room.

Do some websites refuse to function even with useragent spoofing?

No the claim is that the inflation is artificial… not the prices.

It takes time to implement features. Execs and managers don’t want to implement the wheel and developer time costs a lot more money than security vulns.

The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation. We don’t need GPL to “protect” us from anyone here

I disagree. The reason GPL works is that legal action (Such as from GNU foundation or EFF) deters bad actors.

The fediverse already has a mechanism to guard against some corporation coming in and taking the code from a platform and building a commercial product on top of it - defederation.

Defederation only helps the corporations: When the corporation comes in, overwhelms the fediverse with their huge network of active instances and then defederate, the only ones holding the bag are the open intances. . It’s much easier for a private corporation to get numbers to defederate and come out on top than for open source enthusiasts.

However, there are also many that want to be recognized (financially) for their work. GPL ignores the latter.

If you want to be financially recognized for building on top of other people’s open source projects then you should write proprietary code. You shouldn’t be allowed to take open source works freely and call the entirety your own. MIT doesn’t prevent that from happening. GPL prevents that from happening.

I don’t believe that is the case any more

It’s actually really important in the long run. There can never be true open source without GPL or similar legal licenses.

Orangepi, rockchip, Arduino.

There’s nothing novice about wanting to learn.

The caching is kind of mandatory as the sub-problems interact.

Yeah sure, better than pulling 1000Gb of node_modules…

Math people don’t have time to delve into modular code with the right amount of encapsulation/abstractions. Their money making is via testing hypotheses by constructing models and experiments.

If you want good code look at people making money writing code.

Must be quite specialized to detect just Pegasus.

If they didn’t advertise it and kept it lowkey nobody would have complained…

I don’t think China succeeded because of communism. They succeeded because Rich Industrialists in the west did not want to share their success with ordinary people and hence shifted all their work to China where the government ensured a steady supply of cheap labour. Of course, this only worked because the Chinese population was so poor that what were considered bad wages in the west was significantly more money than they would get back home.

Now this kind of outsourcing of labour is what lead to countries coming out of poverty: what made them poor in the first place? Rampant colonialism by EU nations. You can see this in Africa, South America, Asia.

Is liberal capitalism how you describe centuries of colonial rule in Asia, Africa and the subsequent wealth drains?

Are you sure you’re not misattributing their success to capitalism and ignoring the centuries of colonial wealth that flowed to the EU nations? Whenever I mention this in a EU space or those with westerners I get heavily downvoted. It looks like Europe doesn’t want anyone to remember their Dark Ages through colonial periods.

Europeans just don’t want that closet of skeletons to be opened.

Nobody needs driverless or magnetic. Just do the simple fucking trains for now. Bunch of circus baboons the lot…

That’s bullshit and you shouldn’t be this ignorant this late into 2023.

Edit: this was supposed to go under that guy pretending to be the tesla bro. I totally missed the sarcasm as I know IRL people who still worship Musk.

Ah the average American who always moves to the middle of nowhere half way across the continent carrying heavy equipment daily.

Lets just allow weed and see the same result without sleep deprivation

Somehow personal failings never happened in communism? I am from a formerly communist nation. Capitalism has been a disaster.

Communism is bad for the people who want money. Capitalism is bad for everyone except the person who wants to hoard money.
