OpenWRT is still the best shit now.

I honestly feel like the BSD license should be a better license because it gives more freedom

It does not. Saying the BSD license gives more freedom because it lets developers choose to close up the code is like saying the Confederacy gave more freedom because it let white people choose to own slaves.

Yes, it’s bad. Permissive licensing (instead of copyleft) is for cucks.

Because if literally every new car on the market is doing it, you don’t have much of a choice.

(Okay, sure, you could resolve to drive old cars forever – and that’s what I do – but let’s not pretend that’s possible for everyone. Even if people were willing and able to accept the maintenance/reliability/safety tradeoffs, which many are not, there simply aren’t enough old cars for everybody to drive one.)

Just think of it as OpenStep, minus the “open” part. 🤓

I don’t mind using a Mac at work. It’s just a BSD with a proprietary UI; it’s close enough if that’s the choice IT gives me.

They also weren’t actually anti-technology, just anti-exploitation.

(Also it’s “bad rap,” BTW.)

I’ve noticed that when you copy-paste a gif it ends up with only the first frame as a still image, but if you actually save it as a .gif file and then upload it, it works.

This is with either the default web UI or Voyager, BTW.

They make it go through an app and a cloud service on purpose these days so they have an excuse to upsell you on a subscription.

I don’t want to agree because I like biking, but damn if “literally speed run” isn’t clever.

To be fair, it’s not as if it supports languages other than fucking Javascript anyway, so it mostly doesn’t matter.

Edit: I don’t want to split hairs about modules or json or whatever; I just want to be salty about how we could’ve had Scheme or Python in the browser.

even though the implementation was questionable

The implementation was not questionable. The implementation was blatantly nefarious and he fucking knew it, because why else would he have tried to hide it?

That’s roughly what I remember: the threats were against “zionists” or “genociders” or similar, not any particular user by name, but this guy basically told on himself by interpreting it personally anyway.

(It’s possible I’m unaware of other, more egregious, behavior as the situation escalated, but I think this was at least the thing that started the pearl-clutching initially.)

First, get a condenser microphone with an XLR plug and one of those adjustable arm stands:

Second, get an XLR->USB audio interface (or just a converter cable) to go with it.

I own the gear pictured, but I can’t recommend those specific things because I bought them 8 years ago and they’ve been discontinued since. I started out with the box-shaped interface, but eventually realized I didn’t need its features and swapped it for the XLR->USB cable to save space/complexity. If I were using wired headphones (studio monitors) instead of speakers I might have kept using the box.

Also (and perhaps most importantly): the mic itself is analog and the USB converter is just doing generic analog->digital conversion. There is zero reason for it to need any software other than the kernel’s built-in USB audio driver.

Fines are just the cost of doing business.

Wake me up when corporate charters are dissolved and executives are put in prison.

(That’s why arrest data is required to be public, despite the damage it does to the arrestee’s reputation, BTW.)

they have the lawful right to seize and inspect your phone

Sure. They can look at the outside of the hardware all they like. But if they can’t access the data on it, that’s (Constitutionally-speaking) purely their problem, not ours.

American civil engineers still use a lot of customary units. 💀

My Ranger seats 3 in a pinch and is rated to tow 1600 pounds (2.3L I4, regular cab, manual, 4x4) so you can see how my perspective is a little different.

I don’t think aerodynamics are particularly relevant to towing?

Aerodynamics are extremely relevant to towing. “Aging Wheels” on Youtube did a test and found that payload weight makes basically no difference at all, but a trailer with bad aerodynamics can cut an electric truck’s range in half.
