And that’s why I distrust anything under a non-commercial CC license. Besides of the fact that it’s as good as proprietary for projects like Wikipedia, there’s also the unfortunate fact that the people (and companies) that choose non-commercial licensing over copyleft are more likely than not to pull the rug down the line.

Any plans to start saving up to move elsewhere, by the way?

On one hand, nice to see support for ARM - on the other hand, hopefully that can trickle down to Linux down the line one way or another.

In hindsight, it makes sense that an edgy series like Rick and Morty was originally written by a serial harasser. And people insist on separating the art from the artist, now THAT is a red flag for me

It might be my inner prescriptivist at work, but while I understand the need for a singular they, I absolutely loathe it’s accompanied with a singular are. If the language is being reformed, why not take a page out of AAVE and start using “they’s” and “you’s”?

Since engaging in society means indirectly endorsing all of its evils, and even interacting with questionable people is functionally equivalent to platforming them, the only ethical thing to do is to become a self-sufficient hermit. Problem is, there aren’t enough terrains on this planet to allot one fully decked farm for each inhabitant…

DEI does have a R, when expanded. Which makes DEI with a “soft R” be technically “divvasity, equity and inclusion”

I have, like, three stacks of neurodivergence, but I also have some sense of altruism and am aware of my limitations. So, in order to avoid imposing myself too much on people and ending up as an involuntary jerk, I just avoid interacting with others as much as possible, just in case.

To be fair, he’s got a day job as an IT architect in an university, so I think he’s set in regards to finances. Codevelopers on the other hand, those would come handy - especially for knowledge transfer

My relatively obscure and hopeless choice is Golden Sun 4

“Could you please not use the phone? Gotta dial up to connect to the BBS”

Considering that I don’t have a car, I’ve been boycotting most media and many brands for years, and I have no friends because nobody shares the same ethics as I do? Yeah every purchase is and should be a moral dilemma. (The proper solution is to drop society and go raise my own crops in the middle of the mountains, someday I’ll save up to do just that)

No joke, it’s pretty much impossible to find a car by a manufacturer that didn’t benefit from human rights abuses one way or another. Most European cars are from companies founded (or funded) by Nazi Germany or its axis friends. Same goes for Japanese cars. In the US, either the founder is a seething racist (like Ford and Tesla) or the company has been collaborating too much with the army (like Jeep). And don’t get me started with China.

It’s Windows 11 indeed - it just asks me to install a FTP application from the store

Which reminds me - how do I get KDE Connect to allow transferring files on Windows? (Stuck there for technical reasons in the meanwhile, over Linux it works like magic)

Spoiler alert: this is actually the Elf on a Shelf in disguise

scientists can now download the software code and use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool for non-commercial applications

(emphasis mine)

Which means that this is an open core code, not open source proper due to the non-commercial restriction, unfortunately.

People are still unwilling to just go without Big Media and boycott it entirely. Until they do, they will keep abusing their clients.

Another potential technology they could use would be Matrix, so that servers can send commands to each other in real time. It’s better suited for this kind of interactive services than ActivityPub is. Or you could also try XMPP with extensions.

Fair enough, the dude’s been writing bangers for decades already
