To exorcise parasites from the earth, ram a cross into the ground and magic godly waves will drive then out
I agree partially. For indie devs: get the game directly from the dev if possible, never get the codes, because the dev doesn't really get money for those.
With AAA games, the picture is different. The business model for most has now pivoted to be about extracting money to the point where its absurd. And for them, I have absolutely no qualms with taking advantage of their bad business decisions.
Re: rolling updates breaking stuff. Doesn't really happen. If there's an issue updating there's usually already an announcement explaining why and what to do. Also, Archwikiist just great.
- Arch
- daily everything (programming, gaming, whatever else flies my way)
- good, wouldn't recommend this in particular to new people unless they aren't afraid of a steep learning curve
- privacy, more control over my system, and my computer finally does what I tell it to. (Even if sometimes it probably shouldn't, but then that's on me). Oh also: it makes programming so much more enjoyable. Need a dependency
pacman -Syu whatever-i-need, done.
If we have to use crypto (which I don't really see a reason for to be perfectly honest), then I'd much rather seean privacy coin like Monero being used.
Just because it bugs me to no end: thats the original purpose of a VPN, not some privacy snakeoil. That being said most host-discovery doesn't work reliably, or is not implemented by most programs.
As someone who quite enjoys lengthy video essays about obscure topics, I disagree.
I am split here. I dont expect anyone to know the manages by heart, but at least doing a quick search should be possible. If that obviously wasn't done I'm fine with referring people to the friendly manual.
RTFM nice(1)
I really don't see a reason to write more just to summarise what has already been written. Is that toxic though? I don't think so. If someone then says that they don't understand what that reference means, I'll gladly explain how manpages work and how to search for info. Teach a man to fish and stuff.
Yes, even if the group is racist bigots, warlords, or plain malicious idiots, those are still covered under "any group". And I would argue that that is a good thing. Not that these groups exist, but that there are no exceptions one might use to create trouble for users.
Seeing how the nouveau-right loves playing their victim card, that will just be gasoline for their hate-engine.
Since a definition is descriptive, not prescriptive, I think it's paramount.
I suppose it depends on how exactly you define a blockchain. If you add distributed consensus algorithms and a requirement for BFT resistance, then it clearly isnt. Its the usual issue with definition...
I would beg to differ. It seems to be pretty useful for Software development. After all git repos are Blockchains. That being said: use a solution that fits your problem, don't try to adapt a problen to your solution. Thats something a lot of the crypto- or AI-bros are apparently misunderstanding
If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn't use crypto, imho.
Not sure reality agrees here. Unless the project is huge, it will most likely not see any money. With copy-left code they are at least required to share their improvements and contribute that way. (I am aware of the no-gpl policies of many companies)
What's probably a better Model are Nextcloud's "SupportaaS", Sourcehut's consultancy, or mailcow's SaaS. (I also see SaaS critically, but if it's Libre I'm okay with it)
EarthPorn was a great place, but BeautifulPlaces really would've been the better name.
Nur als Anmerkung: niemand sagt man solle Vermögen auf 0 reduzieren (wie damals). Was Leute sagen: man wird ohne Ausbeutung anderer Manschen kein Multimillionär.
Dear Debian users: please also update your Debian version, not just your packages. Like... once a decade would be an improvement for many poor servers.
