Hey, I maintain a highly popular (if niche) FOSS library. Where the fuck is my big tech paycheck where they bribe me into integrating with their product?

/s Silly take IMO, relies on cherry-picking popular FOSS projects where you can see “the influence” of big tech, AND then No True Scotsman your way into saying that they’re not allowed to participate in the development/influence of FOSS because… checks notes they’re the ones funding the project/putting money in front of otherwise unpaid volunteers?

If you end up coming up with a better scheme for things that has the actual practical effect of compensating devs appropriately (yes, that means at current market rates or better) for their work, then please let us know so we can switch to doing that immediately. I will literally do anything you suggest if it would achieve that end.


Fuck’s sake, people. Gitlab already didn’t allow search unless you were logged in.
This ain’t enshittification.


I actually bought the second edition of Mastering Nim paperback the other day! Should be arriving tomorrow, hopefully.

I had fun dogfooding my interview problem in it, I feel like it’s basically step forward as far as modern syntaxes go.




Oh damn, that’s going to be super interesting.



@kevincox does anyone other than me even still have motherboard speakers?


@Coldus12 I got wireguard hosted on my openwrt router. Straightforward and no fuss.


@sneezy Yeah this is entirely reliant on the idea that you’re only streaming from torrents that have enough seeders that you won’t kill the network.

Classic tragedy of the commons, and definitely a shitty thing to do.


@chandz05 I’d totally add in Organizr to create a single page solution to access all of your various services. Beats bookmarks any day of the week


Great to see ever-mounting proof that end-to-end encryption works! This is why I’m on Matrix.



Seconded; the idea that you need a remux for taking advantage of modern audio/visual tech was never really true


Other people have already commented on how federated social media often requires certain data just for implementations to work and make sense, and there’s not much more to add to that.

If you want private, end-to-end-encrypted, decentralized communication, the best modern solution to that is #matrix.


Basically you should always assume that an irate FBI agent is looking at your posts.
