Yeah, I read their about page. I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure. But mostly, I don’t trust articles with AI image headers. It makes it seem like the article is written by a bot.

I’m not gonna trust the headline of an article with an AI image from a place called epicenter.works.

The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

Happy cake day, FlyingSquid.

Alternate headline: 3/10 Americans are living in fantasy land.

This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.

It’s because the same people who wrote the code usually write the docs, and people who are really good at writing code usually aren’t good at writing docs. It’s two different skill sets that usually don’t coincide.

Case in point: my own documentation for https://nymph.io

I know it’s bad, but I don’t know how to make it good. The code, however, is pretty good. It runs my email service.

Open source projects also aren’t very good at attracting people who both want to volunteer their time writing technical documentation and can.

Facebook never tried in the first place. They just put up a facade that they’ve let fall down.

So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.

I feel like a lot of the issue is that software engineers used to be subsidized by both investors propping up unsustainable business models and extremely invasive targeted advertising, and both of those things are either phasing out or being legislated away. A lot of the tracking and advertising practices that kept services like Facebook and Gmail free are illegal now (rightfully so), and investors are starting to realize that not everything is going to become profitable just by having an app.

I think the solution is probably two fold. First, I think the government should invest more into open source software. A lot of the work that keeps the internet running is done by unpaid volunteers. And second, I think we need to go back to paying for services. Giving away services for free because you use them to spy on your users is just an unethical business model. It’s profitable, but so is child labor.

You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.

Your “friend’s” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.

Maybe just write the academic works yourself, then they should pass.

I don’t have any problem with an open source tool using a proprietary language or build tool, but I certainly would never contribute to it.

When I started reading this headline, I thought it was gonna be some crazy religious sect that had gotten the state to ban dental floss.

They took him for every cent!

I like how the code has ASS in it.

My setup is pretty safe. Every day it copies the root file system to its RAID. It copies them into folders named after the day of the week, so I always have 7 days of root fs backups. From there, I manually backup the RAID to a PC at my parents’ house every few days. This is started from the remote PC so that if any sort of malware infects my server, it can’t infect the backups.

Half the population would believe the asteroid is a hoax spread by the [insert ethnic or religious group here].

The home release.
