idk, don’t really know who i am right now
yes, that license is unfortunate… i am not a license expert, but “private use only” modifications is sad to me. i mean, the difference with the GPL is just that contribs need to be upstreamed, right? that seems like a better balance, if so?
holy shit this is the funniest thing i’ve ever read
okay maybe top 5 but still
my company had a job posting on smart recruiters years after we actually had the position open and even after we stopped using the damn site, every time i would bring it up with my boss he would say “the account is being removed.” for years, i got emails from poor applicants who thought that the postings that were up were still valid, and no way to respond.
my mom 100% does this, puts it on toast with mayo and salt, and now i am going to thanks
Thank you for posting this, I work in tech and since my company got bought up by a bigger company there is no end to bureaucracy. All our work computers have multiple forms of spyware on them, I have to log in to various services (including redoing 2 factor) multiple times a day, the software we use is slow and barely works, and silliest of all, the crapware randomly blocks certain requests on port 8080 and no one in IT knows how to fix it because it is just a default set of security “best practice” rules, so we have to change ports for development. I feel his comments personally, despite never having to work on a grant proposal (although AFEs I have been told are similar) and relatively having it much easier.
Its heartbreaking reading about the Soviet’s plans for orbital solar panels as we do nothing about climate change instead, but I can at least use this info to have conversations with people.
how do I upvote this 20 times oh my god retvrn to <form>
I bought the high end nvidia shield last year and just out of warranty both the bluetooth and wifi chips died. It’s basically a brick now and I am probably never going to buy another. Even more stupid as I have an old tube-shield that is still running just fine from like 2018. I ended up installing https://libreelec.tv/ on an old pi 4 I had lying around. HDR, multi-language subtitles, using existing TV remote over HDMI-CEC, all work. That being said, I only use it for Jellyfin.
I hope anyone use using a shield does not have the same experience I did.
I have some crazy theories about “why” this is happening, I’m not an expert though.
Maybe I sound crazy. At any rate, I’m really glad for places like Lemmy (and operating systems like Linux) existing, because I don’t trust any for-profit tech company not to ban Firefox/Linux users/Ad block/video streaming/etc.
I was using NeoChat for a while, but IIRC it doesn’t support encrypted historical messages, so you’d have to get it set up and keep element around for searching history…
NeoChat has the benefit of supporting OIDC which my server uses exclusively, otherwise I would have given Fractal a look as well.
thank you, good post. I was going to make a sassy comment about Winamp being “source-available” (derogatory) but it’s helpful to have you explain this instead, appreciate it. (I am a software dev, but I struggle with licenses etc.)
