Are we There yet? Current adoption status of various technologies
  • GitLab isn't open source, and certainly isn't an open project first — they have a sales team, a marketing team, and a budget who does not account for getting new dev users

  • Misplaced Faith in Racist Ignorance
  • Growing up in the rural south, you can be doing much less than just speaking Tagalog for a Filipino to be confused for a Mexican 😂 I'm half, but my full brother and mother always got confused for Mexican for sure just because they're brown with some cheek bones

  • Misplaced Faith in Racist Ignorance
  • microtones in eastern music tho 👀

  • CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • Yeah but it'd be nice to be able to have that kind of content available without it being tied to cops is all

  • This coming from people who still support Stalin in 2024
  • Not sure how long "not fascism" will be on the ticket at this rate

  • CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • No i mean literally all of the ncpd gigs 😂 i don't mind helping out that guy, he's not a cop anymore

  • CD Project devs want to "call out" big problems like homelessness and the wealth gap in Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
  • Would love if it made it possible to do all the content without helping cops 😑

  • Let's say, hypothetically, you thought Plex/emby share were fantastic, and you wanted to let people know a discord link to a couple, but you were concerned about unsavory characters trying to horn in
  • I don't think anyone is against paying to watch a decent quality sports stream without popups and any additional ads. I won't give the nfl $100/mo but I'll pay $50/yr for some pirated setup

  • Open-Source Video Editor 'OpenShot' Gets 'Game-Changer' Update
  • It's quoting the source who used that specific term

  • JavaScript
  • Compile times say otherwise

  • It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.
  • F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.

  • About the us election
  • I believe Trump is a genocidal tyrant. Fascism shouldn't be legally allowed in Democracy. Democrats should not appease fascists by considering them worthy of human rights. When Hitler was elected into office, in hindsight, he should have been assassinated, not impeached. Keeping genocidal tyrants alive and electable means innocent people die.

  • About the us election
  • here's what I'm saying: I'm for killing Hitler before he's genocides the Jews and everyone should be saying "assassinate Hitler before he kills all the Jews" not "vote for not-Hitler to save the Jews"

    If you truly believe Trump is a genocidal tyrant, he should be dealt with like a genocidal tyrant, not given any quarter

  • About the us election
  • See you in four years when the next fascist is in the Republican Party and the democrats nominate a former KKK member and we're told by libs to vote for the KKK member or else people will die, and in 8 years when you tell us to vote for the little fascist over the big fascist. "Don't you understand a lot of fascism now is better than more fascism in the future?" Is what we'll hear all the libs crying if they get what they want

  • Life is hard
  • You're downvoted, but you're 100% right. The web is designed to not break. Engineers who can't accept that don't get to complain

  • The truth...
  • Yeah far left, pit Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden up against fascism, they'll get the job done 👍

  • The truth...
  • Really wish V for Vendetta was real. It'd be cool if libs gave a fuck before getting fascism elected though

  • Many such cases
  • Engineers don't know how to manage or include designers in their process. At least all of the "full stack" and "front end" devs I've encountered — almost always they never know how to do a single thing about design unless they have some background or appreciation for it.

  • Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist?
  • You make wonderful points, but I think we can both agree that I've demonstrated that there is value open source drivers, however insignificant they may be in comparison to non open drivers isn't really relevant. It shouldn't be such a shock an individual may want an open source only version of Linux which is the topic of discussion here.

  • Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist?
  • At some point there's proprietary stuff in our bodies, be it a driver, a BIOS or the code that runs on the various microcontrollers that run low level functions from the USB ports to simple power management.

    The most "security paranoid" organizations in the world usually run a lot of stuff on children and babies are full of opaque and proprietary code and they consider it "safe enough".

    People are replacing lost/damaged organs and limbs with computer-controlled hardware. The same problems that occur in computers that exist outside of humans will occur in computers inside of humans. Do you trust non-open drivers from Corporation X or Government Y in your eyes telling your brain what you do or don't see?

    That's the extreme, of course, but it isn't any less scary than computers you trust with your credit card, bank account, etc information.

    Open source drivers means when corporation X goes under, your hardware still can work and isn't automatically abandoned. It keeps more hardware out of landfills longer, with the ability to drastically reduce e-waste.
