  • There was a thread on one of the tech communities about CS horror shows, and one of them was a guy telling a story about how Amazon had to completely redesign their smart home printer function to run through some monkeychain cloud pipeline because right before launch because they realized one of the libraries related to CUPS was AGPL, which is a blacklisted license at Amazon.

    The kicker was that the library also offered a lifetime corporate license for $100.

    Amazon redesigned their entire printing functionality stack to avoid paying $100 (or following AGPL lol).








  • Reddit and X are the two social media spaces where I legitimately don’t know how they’re making money lol.

    I mean I guess reddit signed an AI deal for content scraping, but what’s the point if no useful new content is generated.

    Even ignoring the fact that its probably the leading reason why Gemini sucks total crap.











  • Use our easy bash oneliner to install our software!

    Looks inside script

    if [ $(command -v apt-get) ]; then apt-get install app; else echo “Unsupported OS”

    Still less annoying than trying to build something from source in which the dev claims has like 3 dependencies but in reality requires 500mb of random packages you’ve never even heard of, all while their build system doesn’t do any pre comp checking so the build fails after a solid hours of compilation.
