This website is aggressively bad. Why does my cursor have to disappear completely when I stop moving and become a gray circle when I do move it? Way over-designed.

Pleading face, as in I sure hope your vision of the future passes

When I think of FOSS, and people who are seriously committed to a copyleft future, these names suddenly spring into my mind

• Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
• Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
• Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
• Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
• Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
• Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
• Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals

IDK why. Generosity, Linux, FLOSS, sharing, GPL… these terms all come to mind when those people’s names come up.

Oh wait, no it doesn’t.

this framing is so stupid to me

An East Tennessee county commissioner sparked controversy after suggesting during a public workshop that Flock CEO Garret Langley should be hanged for treason.

Excuse me? The real controversy is the nation-wide surveillance network used to track everyone’s movements. The commissioner’s response seems to be very measured in light of that fact.

My “thing” is a Hercules movie from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Those movies are so low intensity, and I’ve fallen asleep to them hundreds of times over the past few years. I put a sleep timer on my ancient iPad on low brightness and low volume for 15m, and I’m usually asleep before time’s up.

If you really want to get into technical writing, you can try to study along with this free course. https://developers.google.com/tech-writing

Since memory is so expensive this is a huge boon to those who host Lemmy!

100% this.

If every software maker generalized the principle of unused ram is wasted ram, I would be allowed to keep only one program open on my computer. Because each application must consume all of it for… I don’t know. Showing me a webview of a text box that has a glowing ring for no reason or something stupid like that.

This isn’t even getting into how cache locality in memory is a performance consideration, or how every software maker is EXTERNALIZING their costs onto users, making us buy more capable hardware to keep up with their software.

All so I can do the same shit I did 10 years ago: send messages, view pictures and videos.

MIT and BSD are the corporate friendly licenses that say you can take my code and use it and even make it proprietary, as well. So long as you provide attribution, do whatever you want.

If that’s fine by you then choose that license. You can read little summaries here but be advised this page is owned by GitHub and they have an interest in seeing MIT and BSD adoption, so the language they use subtly reflects that IMO https://choosealicense.com/licenses/

Vibe bros LOVE their useless animations and effects. There is this one website I found for doing Regexes called openregex or something. And just having that page open with nothing else going on slams your GPU. It looks ugly as sin, too. And if you go to wayback machine and see when that page first was created it actually looked relatively normal and fine.

IMO you can seriously fix all copyright and patent law by halving their current duration. In the USA that means copyrights are author’s life + 35 years and works for hire should be something like 50 years. Patents similarly go from 20->10 years.

The time you spend waiting at the checkout line is the time the business running the grocery store realized they could steal from you.

Depends on the game. A title like dota will have a lot of savings (tens of gigabytes last I checked it). Most other games it seems don’t have obviously and easily compressible assets from a generic compression algorithm, and therefore will yield extremely minor savings.

Checked some installed games. DotA is down to 36 gb from 67. Almost 54% the original size.

RoboCop rogue city is 37->37gb. Negligible savings.

Kid Starver is on a speedrun to destroy Labour. What a shitbag.

America’s war fighters will always be our advantage.

shut the fuck up

What on God’s green earth is WLBR supposed to mean? Why can’t it have a normal, good name?

I think you just need well-placed parks in the urban areas. I think it’s worth asking ourselves why we don’t really hear people bemoan the upbringing and experiences of kids from really urban cities like NYC or Tokyo. But when it comes to Soviet apartment blocs, this becomes a real concern. I think it’s a double-standard that’s been propagandized onto us.

Notice the multiple “I thinks” – it’s not like I’m out here doing surveys on the topic. This is just how it seems to me.

I’m dreaming of a red christmas
