you are absolutely right. there is value to these in software engineering and the people who don’t realize that and learn how and when to apply them will be left behind

The irony here is if you host your open source project somewhere where it isn’t being scraped by LLMs your legal case might be weaker.

What an interesting idea

I think it might be hard to argue that it is a clean room implementation if the project is in the training data for the model, which it probably will have been

…do you not use JavaScript?

exact same story as I. have also been eyeballing NixOS lol. big time investment for me though

Yeah, fair. Where fiber can be run fiber should be run.

Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn’t happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.

I mean damn, at least Starlink is providing a service

I’ve been using Projectivy. It’s really simple and great!

Not like these ones. I’m almost tired of having this discussion y’all are blinded by hatred.

First full flow staged combustion engine, dramatically lower launch prices than competitors (cheaper for the government and has enabled more interesting things to go to space), dramatically more access (SpaceX flies multiple times a week!), booster recovery & rocket reuse.

And again I know everyone really is blinded by their seething rage but starship is going to change the whole landscape again.

You can hate the man as much as you want, I’m not saying I don’t. But you discredit yourself by not knowing what SpaceX is actually doing.

I mean, we still wouldn’t have US access to space without SpaceX (Boeing fiasco…).

SpaceX has developed laundry list of new technology to enable Starlink and other endeavors. It’s silly to discount that as worthless.

even less for Starlink

it’s such a game changer when you’re actually using it. night and day, completely different experience.

also, GEO is in many regards more at risk for Kessler syndrome because stuff up there doesn’t deorbit

I don’t think you’ve ever used Starlink if you think clouds make it fail.

…you do realize it started in Seattle, right?

you can change the home screen. I did that on my android tv. android tv kinda rocks actually

probably not a realistic take, even if I agree with it.

Whatsapp is so popular that if you’re outside of the US the expectation is not weird

I love Gnome. People love to hate it, but it’s workflow is SO good.

I think people just get annoyed that they can’t force it to be whatever they want it to be. Which is fine, that’s why other options exist!

But if you really go to the content-focused, workspace + keyboard shortcut flow Gnome is incredibly efficient, consistent, and stable.

Unpopular opinion #2: I love libadwaita and GTK4. Basically, I enjoy when devs are opinionated about things and build what they want to see in the world.

The adaptive part of libadwaita is really exciting for different form factors!

I’m sorry, this is naive.

You may have voted for a pedophile and you just don’t know it yet.

People’s true colors are not always so readily apparent

that’s a very black and white view of things but real life isn’t so pretty.

some people are intentionally misled or just not informed enough.

you alienate people by assuming they’re racist when they’re often not. I mean, it’s a choice. but it’s not gonna win you an election and I don’t think it’ll move the US forward.

I really think it isn’t fair to generalize all rednecks as racist. I grew up in Kentucky and that definitely isn’t how it is.

There’s 3 types of rednecks:

• Not racist
• Ignorant but welcoming (they may say something questionable, but only because they don’t know better and will apologize)
• Racist.

I think most I’ve met have been #1 or #2. If you ostracize a large portion of the population, of course they aren’t going to be on your side

the tank has a giant gas turbine why do you need a battery

It’s not an intentional snub, I just answered this question in a different reply.

I don’t know with enough certainty to list out all the issues, but the biggest one that sticks out to me is information control.

The government restricts citizens access to the Internet (among other things). I have talked to people from Russia, people from China, etc online. But I have never talked to someone from North Korea and that is a pretty big red flag for me.

I pretty strongly believe that anybody who tries to control the flow of information amongst supposedly free people is not a “good guy”. Yes, this includes the United States, UK, China, etc. Many do so to some extent and I am against all of them for that.

But, none so draconian seeming as the DPRK.
