Great, I’ll be a bit absolute and say that if a corporation doesn’t want to use my GPL code I see it as a good thing, corporations tend to be soulless leeches.

I was caught by surprise and for some reason this joke clicked so much that I laughed for a while. Kudos

Same for me, but still no shipping for my country, so I just bought a used T490 which will serve my needs for 4 years and then I’ll go for framework; hopefully they are still kicking by then. If shipping was available I would for sure have gone for their 13’’ laptop even though it’s much more expensive and powerful than I need for personal use.

Thanks for your answers. I wasn’t able to get what I wanted to work but that’s because the device used broadcast for discoverability which doesn’t work through subnets. I pivoted to something else

Or perhaps it will come from the right? Undefined behaviour is the magic word

Religion is the word you’re looking for.

Now that’s the funniest utopian phrase

Haha no drugs in that article at least. I can’t find it but I think it was either for diabetes or asthma

It depends on your needs. I have minis that cost <100$ and have others that cost 500$. My cheapest mini has currently 3TB of backups of my personal things, so it serves my needs very cheaply. I don’t need a GPU so it keeps the costs down.

I read somewhere that someone was using anonymous currencies to buy life saving medicine from “non traditional” markets because they were much much cheaper. Let me see if I find the article

This is per capita for sure

They are power and space efficient, and usually very quiet. That’s fascinating enough.

To me it feels like people romanticising their hobbies/escape activities. If they started doing it as work soon enough they would have lots of pain points and stress. Sure you don’t have CVEs or libraries to update but the deadline for that chair or cabinet you were commissioned is coming and you can’t just get the damn thing right. At the same time you have another customer complaining that you need to check some other stuff you’ve made that isn’t working right … see where I’m going?

I know a lot of people in the trades and they have very similar or analogous pain points as me in software.

Doing it as a hobby though? It’s amazing. I don’t really need a car anymore but I’ve been learning how to fix mine and it has been great

Ah the marvels of infinite growth and capitalism. Are we still allowed to say enshitification here?

I think HL3 will only happen to push some frontier in gaming, like they did with Alyx and VR. It’s the only safe move with that franchise and all the hype

Good, tell leech corporations and specially Microsoft to fuck right off. Pay for it or do it yourselves.

I wrote loads of firmware in c++ and some on highly constrained boards. You’re just stuck in the past and spewing bs

That’s because Rust solves lots of issues caused by C, of course they are going to twist that knife and use it as a selling points. Humour is not bad, I’ve done lots of C and C++ and am not bothered a bit by it.

It doesn’t reduce the importance of the language at all, just sheds some light on safer languages, Rust or not.

Steve Jobs was an awful person, the brand was already cracked

It’s exactly the people that can have a choice who should be helping those who can’t, don’t you agree?

The fight for open software and hardware wouldn’t be made by going around paraplegic people and bothering them about it, but by discussing it with the vendors and legislators.
