People are never interested in learning from history, they’d rather run face first into that wall.

The abusers typically.did read histor, saw what worked well, what didn’t, learned from that to become even better abusers.

This doesn’t only apply to games, it applies to politics, celebrities, religious clerks,you name it

Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.

And we will NEVER trust you again because we know you’ll retry this next year or so in a few smaller steps that all have cutesy innocent names that are supposed to lull us in a false sense of security

Fuck Google, stop paying them for anything, stop using their services wherever possible.

“The position of the FFmpeg X account is that somehow disclosing vulnerabilities is a bad thing. Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them.”

Yeah slave, stop complaining get your ass back to work because I’m about to dump more obligatory work on your lap that you will fix for no pay, I don’t care you have a family to feed!

Your complaining about not having any sponsor for the free work that we sell for millions of dollars may cause that you don’t get any sponsors!

The entitlement and mental gymnastics here at display is insane

Google has made billions off of open source software they got and used for free. Sure, they gave back a few fractions of a penny for each million they made with it, they gave back with adding some softwares here and there when it strategically suited them, but the simple fact is that without open source software, Google wouldn’t exist today, definitely not the way they do now.

Hell, the internet wouldn’t exist as it does today, it would be a tiny fraction of what it is today without open source software. Open source software is amazing yet most people in the world don’t even know that it exists, that it’s a concept, and that people are doing this

Yet there are countless companies profiting majorly from the work of others without giving back a dime. There are multinationals that profit in the billions from open source software without giving back properly or at all.

We need an updated GPL amendment or something that requires companies to start giving back productively in some form or another once they start majorly profiting from the work of open source projects.

OpenSSL heart bleed, for sure

Great example of corporations just taking from open source and not giving back a dime because fuck you, give us your work!

I’d love to see a GPL version where if you’re a company, and you make more than x amount of profit with open source projects, that you gotta fund it with y amount, depending on your profit or something

ALL big tech companies have gotten ginormous thanks to open source software, and though some have given back something, and some have done some funding, it’s always been such few pennies on so many dollars that it might as well have been slavery. Add to that that many times what was given back was only given back because it was a good thing, strategically, for them.

Tech companies are abusive as fuck which made them so insanely big, powerful and rich and this nonsense has to stop

Open source is awesome and ALL software should be open source as far as I’m concerned, but the abuse from tech corporations has to stop

I’ve always been like that since decades ago and my family just always had this “oh you…” attitude. Most people don’t understand.

Having said that, happy to see more girls and women interested in this! That used to be very different

I do not agree

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help

Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?

I guess this is reflected in the real world how we are, especially politically

We don’t talk to those that don’t agree, we spend hours in echo chamber type forums, and left or right, we get more extreme in our opinions, we believe dumb shit.

This hit the right side of things especially hard, I guess because it’s susceptible to this by design, focusing on the loners, the angry, the disenfranchised. Make them listen even less, make them even more extreme and you get terrorists.

So the sheriff immediately got fired for blatantly lying and the flock contract cancelled for the same reason, right?

Right?

Got a 429 now when I tried, I guess they’re still working on resolving the botnet traffic issue

Yeah, there won’t be a need anymore because they can just say “yes to all” for you.

This is a horrible idea

Want it actually better? Simply prohibit the entire sale of personal data, period,end of story

Great idea aand looks nice, is there a docker install?

Besides…

More like Americans never cease to amaze me

So you mean to say that Elmo lied again?

About everything?

You don’t say?

No, Optimus won’t solve poverty, it’ll make him a king

That is, of course, if Optimus would ever see the light of day and be actually functional which they’re so far behind with that I’m honestly unsure if I should laught at him or just feel sad for him

So here is an idea, and hear me out on this one: you could use multiple words to indicate what you’re trying to say, I do believe language allows for that.

Unless you want to have separate new words for walking to a hospital, walking to a school, walking to work, and walking to the bathroom, because the word walking alone can’t do that!

Well technically Nvidia is, and it will fail and when it does fail, it will be big enough that the US economy won’t be able to save it either, it’ll drag everything down with it.

Fun times ahead

Well yeah, I want to install ANY software from ANY plave

here’s the creator asking…

Where?

Buy who cares? Money!

This entire thing is again stupid front to back, and for loads of money, of course

It can’t keep any countries’ data safe from US authorities, yet most of the world’s authorities are using Microsoft cloud because their IT personnel is a bunch of bought and paid for Microsoft buddies

Mind you, medical information from people all around the world is stored on private US servers. Good luck if you’re trans, or have a"deviant" sex life!
