the setup process for the first run of a new windows machine is called the out of box experience. its truely awful in the way it railroads you but a setup process is a lot more approachable than an installer.
i dont know. the garbage collection is buggy and keeps removing objects before they finish running
hugh and stamets are both seen brushing their teeth in discovery. i imagine its just not shown very often
Maybe expecting payment for freely given information isn't actually a good business model.
Corporations have taken the 'supermarket chain' methodology of using huge amounts of capital to cement themselves as the standard until competition dies and then hiking the prices. But i don't think that actually works for the web. They get all the users and sink (or buy out) the little guys, sure. But how many of these platforms are able to turn that into profit?
As the platforms become more and more desperate, they bend further and further to advertiser's whims and everyone suffers. Its not like they're really paying content creators anyway. Most of them make their money from patreon/etc.
I cant stop giant corporations from breaking the web but i'm not going to pretend that disabling my adblocker would be helping some small struggling company, and im certainly not going to thank them for it
the nature of the web is that you are sent information and a suggestion of how to render it. The user is free to view as little or as much of that content as they decide.
"ad blockers arent allowed on youtube" is an insane statement. ad blockers arent on youtube. you are just being selective about which content you render.
it is greedy to try and rewrite the fundamental workings of the web because you feel entitled to profit.
you could use dynmap and have your world map
you should add a random exerpt flag so you could add it to the MOTD
why not? publishing open source software is a good thing. the failure is in fdroids search and discovverability features imho

Its 4am and you sit at your computer, illuminated by its soft glow. You take a sip of your tea as you stare at the incomprehensible error message on your terminal. you tab back over to the .config file and scan it for errors for the fifth time - or was it the sixth? you google the error message again, only this time you spot something that could help. A community of like-minded hackers -- and one of them has had the same problem you're having! The replies are all non judgemental and one of them links to a page on the community wiki with something that could help.
You add the line to your .config file and run the command again. Your pitch black room is illuminated as your smart bulbs come to life. You can finally go to bed. We hope you drop back in again after you get some sleep.
Welcome to QHDN - a queer space for hobbyist hackers interested in programming, local system administration, and other related topics. It aims to be a friendly community and repository for learning and sharing how to run and maintain your own services, be it for smart home, data storage, media storage, or anything else. We're glad you're here.
I've seen a lot of bad jokes here but this is where I draw the lines
