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.

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/

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

intriguing

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.

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.

That is indeed absurdly fast.

“We drove the movie industry out of Hollywood. Let’s not do the same with car culture,” Leno said in a Facebook video supporting the bill.

actually, let’s kill car culture completely

Thought something this stupid was just for shits and giggles. Then I saw this is LinkedIn and he’s a senior product manager.

Haha the joke is on the rest of us

And permissively licensed utils have been around thanks to BSD and it’s never been an issue.

The distinction is that BSD coreutils are not attempting to be a drop-in 1:1 compatible replacement of GNU coreutils. The Rust coreutils has already accomplished this with its inclusion into Ubuntu 26.04.

If I wanted a permissively licensed system, I’d use BSD. I don’t, so I primarily use Linux. I think citing a proprietary OS like macOS as a reason why permissively licensed coreutils are OK is kind of funny. It’s easy to forget that before before the GPL there were many incompatible UNIX systems developed by different companies, and IMO the GPL has kept MIT and BSD-licensed projects “Honest”, so-to-speak. Without the GPL to keep things in check, we’d be back to how things were in the 80s.

So what’s next on the docket for Ubuntu? A permissively licensed libc?

Not interested in an MIT-licensed coreutils. Thanks, but no thanks!

My media server, which is just my server generally, is an old thinkpad I have from 2014. For media I use Jellyfin and I ensure the content is already in a format that will not require transcoding on any device I care to serve to (typically mp4 1080p hevc + aac).

If you look at the used computer market, there are endless options to attain what you are asking for. My only real advice is make sure the computer doesn’t draw much power and, if possible, doesn’t emit much or any fan noise. A laptop is a decent choice because the battery kind of serves as an uninterruptible power supply. I just cap my charge limit at 80% since I never unplug it.
