No it wasn’t

emerge or gtfo

Yet the owners don’t care.

I hate that it’s pushed as a holy grail.

The current technology is a dead end, and we need to go back to the drawing board with it.

But before we can do that, we need to sell the current version, because we lost a lot of money on it…

AI is a tool to transfer even more wealth, under the current conditions.

GenAIs are a mistake, but corps decided to stuff billions into it, and they want their money back.

Can I say that the issue is much deeper than just tariffs, and that Europe should not be using anything cloud or AI based? Ideally not even from EU if not fully open-source or open-data.

Hey! I’m speaking!

Gentoo is the only way.

I’m not sure if this is satire, because if yes, well played, if not, Fuck That.

So… ‘a streak’?

Just adding that GitLab self-host is an absolute nightmare, if anything goes wrong you are done. They include database in their ‘package’, so you have limited options.

Also GitHub is usually used to distribute dependencies, so if your package gets downloaded 1M+ times, you don’t have to pay for the traffic.

So I installed this way back in the day on my prod corporate VMs. I was still green, and any prod issues would shake me so much, it was too stressful.

I taught myself to relax when the locomotive pops up, take a few deep breaths and go on.

It was super effective. I learned to not get so flustered, and stopped messing commands due to adrenaline. I no longer install it anywhere, but it still puts a smile and a wave of nostalgia when I see or hear about it.

Such a small thing, yet it helped me grow so much.

I will just say:

WHAT THE FUCK are we doing? Alpine has been used in Docker, and Docker is now run everywhere.

WHY are these necessary tools underfunded? They barely even need anything. Why do companies not support them?

Can we start giving at least 0.000001% of net profit to the basic tools used? Can we globally force companies to give the smallest pittance to the open-source projects they make trillions off of?

Cracked software still enables their dominance over the market.

If it happens to only specific companies, but others will do anything without issues, it will be a huge problem.

And it will.

If that motivation still leads to work against tech monopolies

It doesn’t, never did, never will.

I can’t believe we have to argue in 2025 about this.

The whole project 2025 is about breaking bad regulations, antitrust won’t survive. You just have to kiss the ring, and do whatever.

I love user notes; this one has ‘fascist centrist’ attached, and lo and behold.

There’s no fucking way they let her go on.

I’m ready to eat my words, but I expect her to disappear, or be limited to companies which did not fall in line to Musk/Trump.

The entire shtick of the next admin is deregulation, antitrust will not be welcome.

No, there are DRM games on GOG (or have been anyway).

And Steam also has DRM-free games.
