I love Dosbox staging!

When I think of FOSS, and people who are seriously committed to a copyleft future, these names suddenly spring into my mind

• Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
• Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
• Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
• Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
• Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
• Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
• Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals

IDK why. Generosity, Linux, FLOSS, sharing, GPL… these terms all come to mind when those people’s names come up.

Oh wait, no it doesn’t.

it’s really sad that so man people lingered on this dogshit website after that fuckhead elon musk bought it

Called it. https://lemmy.ml/post/50384280/26832027

Sloppers love it when you do the hard work of maintaining a clean dataset for them to steal.

this framing is so stupid to me

An East Tennessee county commissioner sparked controversy after suggesting during a public workshop that Flock CEO Garret Langley should be hanged for treason.

Excuse me? The real controversy is the nation-wide surveillance network used to track everyone’s movements. The commissioner’s response seems to be very measured in light of that fact.

Free him!!

Not just tech bros. The execs at the company I work for were talking as early as 2025 about trying to get “LLM-optimized” search results, meaning we need to be in the training data and be at the top of the AI overview. It’s just SEO bullshit all over again. You don’t need big scary Russia to poison AI, our capitalist class will do it eagerly.

oh no not my precious LLMs please anything but my precious LLMs

no suspects

:)

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)
