speaking from experience, this is a very soul-crushing way of gaining “experience” to find a job, because the hiring manager will probably have no clue what it is or assume it’s BS, and will still just care more about job experience.

If you really want to get into technical writing, you can try to study along with this free course. https://developers.google.com/tech-writing

Hell yeah. Though I do always wonder if such entities mark themselves as targets for AI scraping. For instance, Wikipedia is also committed to banning slop articles. But that just means for any AI scraper it just becomes a reliable source of quality training data. So Wikipedia volunteers have to expend a lot of time and resources determining if something is slop and getting rid of it, all so that the slop trainers can come in and create the next version of the slop engine used to spam Wikipedia…

Anyway… whatever. Good for Codeberg!

100% this.

If every software maker generalized the principle of unused ram is wasted ram, I would be allowed to keep only one program open on my computer. Because each application must consume all of it for… I don’t know. Showing me a webview of a text box that has a glowing ring for no reason or something stupid like that.

This isn’t even getting into how cache locality in memory is a performance consideration, or how every software maker is EXTERNALIZING their costs onto users, making us buy more capable hardware to keep up with their software.

All so I can do the same shit I did 10 years ago: send messages, view pictures and videos.

MIT and BSD are the corporate friendly licenses that say you can take my code and use it and even make it proprietary, as well. So long as you provide attribution, do whatever you want.

If that’s fine by you then choose that license. You can read little summaries here but be advised this page is owned by GitHub and they have an interest in seeing MIT and BSD adoption, so the language they use subtly reflects that IMO https://choosealicense.com/licenses/

Vibe bros LOVE their useless animations and effects. There is this one website I found for doing Regexes called openregex or something. And just having that page open with nothing else going on slams your GPU. It looks ugly as sin, too. And if you go to wayback machine and see when that page first was created it actually looked relatively normal and fine.

IMO you can seriously fix all copyright and patent law by halving their current duration. In the USA that means copyrights are author’s life + 35 years and works for hire should be something like 50 years. Patents similarly go from 20->10 years.

The time you spend waiting at the checkout line is the time the business running the grocery store realized they could steal from you.

In Virginia during the fifa World Cup there are a lot of pro data center ads funded by a group that was created for this purpose called Virginia Connects.

It’s the usual shitbags lying to the public to make it sound like data centers are good

Doesn’t change my update schedule of a new phone every 8 years.

Does this pave the way forward for all published content, then? Especially if they win their case against meta (or more likely just receive a fat settlement out of court)

Imagine this trend line increasing a bit more rapidly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_the_atmosphere_of_Earth

I used to be able to browse the web happily with JS disabled. It started to get worse about 10 years ago and really bad about 6 years ago and EXTREMELY bad over the past year or two.

And I get it, it’s because of all the scrapers constantly fucking everything up and needing to be blocked. But still. The internet is unusable. All so the likes of Gemini or Claude or Deepseek can generate unlimited amounts of spam and slop.

intriguing

Best of luck to him on his crusade. Full support!

Didnt bother with the article but

Holy smokes that’s a lot of data

Depends on the game. A title like dota will have a lot of savings (tens of gigabytes last I checked it). Most other games it seems don’t have obviously and easily compressible assets from a generic compression algorithm, and therefore will yield extremely minor savings.

Checked some installed games. DotA is down to 36 gb from 67. Almost 54% the original size.

RoboCop rogue city is 37->37gb. Negligible savings.

Kid Starver is on a speedrun to destroy Labour. What a shitbag.
