Pick GDP, manufacturing output or whatever metric and look it up: Russia is not even close to the US. China is the one playing in the same league as the Americans.

As for open source being dominated by the US, the stats for Linux development don’t give that portrait at all.

I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

Of all the ways one would harvest a botnet for propaganda, asking the victims nicely is surely the most cynical yet.

I wonder how much they’ll charge for it.

This neither funny nor informative. You’re just antagonizing for the sake of it.

That’s a 1 month old thread my man :P

Not sure what you mean. The thread was created August 16, my comment was made August 21, and now here you are replying on September 24. Some fediverse hiccup maybe.

So anyways I don’t have anything a cursory search wouldn’t turn up.

Aww, go Jean! Jean is fire 🔥 I love her vibes. Your doggo news always brighten my day. (Especially when they include JEAN).

The real punch line is the time you wasted along the way.

It’s not a take though, it’s a thing. The tendency to fall into irrational beliefs has been called “Dysrationalia” in psychology and is linked to higher education and intelligence. An example would be the tendency of Nobel prize winners to espouse crazy theories later in life, which is humourously referred to as the Nobel Disease.

It’s a teenage duck between its baby dawn and its adult feathers?

It’s important to note that opting into the Apple ecosystem locks you out of any form of agency on your hardware. They’ve moved hard against repairability and they maintain a stranglehold on spare parts.

For that reason I prefer my personal desktop computer to be a PC I can open, maintain or upgrade myself in terms of hardware. The operating system is my choice as well.

I understand not everybody has the means or interest to tinker with their machine, but I still think Apple’s business practices regarding hardware is wasteful and polluting.

sapped by design

That’s just a quote from the woman speaking about her experience. I’ve personally heard often about childbirth as potentially causing incredibly intense pain.

Teaching changing minds, influencing… it needs plenty of repeating and sleeping on things. To be fair, when all else fails applying pressure has its place as well. Nevertheless small victories are still victories.

The ability of Ladybird’s team to face scrutiny of all kinds is important for them to eventually gain traction in the browser market. But I’m still hopeful, and we need more options.

Kernel/Syscalls/jail.cpp includes the gender neutral “they” as well. Good on them for merging that PR.

Open source money? Why not just call it crypto so everyone understands what this is about?

No, .com is not meant as commercial anymore and it was always open to everybody. No matter how easy the domain resellers are making it, picking TLDs has some implications: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

The .io TLD has been the subject of controversy for a number of years despite (or because it is?) being hijacked by tech.

EDIT: More about it

Just please don’t be smart ass and choose a non relevant top-level domain because it looks cute. .io is for the British Indian Ocean Territory. .af is for Afghanistan. queer.af actually got taken down by the talibans.

.com and .org are both open TLDs and totally fine. If you’re afraid to be understood as organization, you can go for .com. It’s the default of the web by now.

If your service can be understood as some kind of web application, you could look into .app as well.

What is this cursed place? The clickbait has eaten everything. uBlock should make this into a blank page.
