You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Bonus: they also work great on Android!

Or think of it as “convenience fee” for the people who can’t use F-Droid.

If my friend, who thinks I’m IT support since I majored computer science, asks me which tracker they should use - I would just tell them to pay the $4 for OpenTracks.

Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.

Reddit has made it clear they don’t care at all. The amount of lying and gaslighting is sickening.

As an old salty dog, I just wanna say it warms my cold heart that DCC is still thriving after all this time.

You can bind qB to your VPN connection, so that if the VPN fails qB would not attempt to use your unsecured line.
