Financial bloat and dependency creep. "5% discounts for loyal users" situations. No thanks

I'm not saying it's unnecessary but forcing me to run DRM, HDCP, kernel level malware, and abide by arbitrary EULAs/copyrights is beyond the scope of the machine. My machine understands memory manipulations, not someone'

Legal limitations are inherently anti-engineering and not useful.

It doesn't because it's already in my RAM. Or swap. If you're OK with it being in swap, you gotta be OK with me saving it to disk manually.

Crazy how quickly the COVID comment got deleted.

by Bancakes 5y ago
Professional programmers should be used to prodding their brains and RTFM. It's a question of ethics not to thought-dilute openBSD.

Because those are legal businesses, and you can't critique the world order like that. Drink your corn syrup and stay quiet.

No, and contact a lawyer for discrimination. Get a better job.

That's why nobody uses your stuff, I guess.

Yes. Free software is computer science in pure form. It is a verifiable and reproducible method to get results. You can build on it and step on the shoulders of giants. The front of computer science only moves forward with publications and

At this point learning C++ standards is like learning new frameworks. There is no escape other than reclusing to C (maybe not so bad!)

How do you know these blobs fix anything and aren't just padded up for checksum dofference? Do you disassemble and analyze these things? Do you trust companies? In my experience, most security patches are future proofing. What's w

GPLv3 is already more lenient than necessary in dealing with binaries. What more compromises do you want? Heavens forbid Linux goes the BSD route.

People still pay on free platforms.

People keep paying for Spotify premium and YouTube red. Nothing detrimental in my POV.

Right only I program tangible chips which serve a purpose, and you cannot just take them. Or maybe you fork the open source repos? You're welcome? Like I said, I'm not paying for bla bla entertainment. Whether that means I read a

A paid hobby, or a side gig. Labor has the context of strain and effort, and I don't want to pay money for bla-bla entertainment.

Did you just call article writing labor?

People already make accounts with phone numbers, I suspect credit cards won't be different.
383.
by Bancakes 5y ago
I don't use credit cards. But yours is a fair concern, maybe it impacts some hidden rating. I have had my account banned from a third party steam game seller no questions asked; no trouble.

By working on proprietary technology I (and many people) use daily, which I couldn't make myself, e.g. car infotainment, kernels and drivers. Pointing at something and saying "I partly made that". Being able to touch what you

I just have a "virtual" debit card to my name which stays empty until I purchase something online. So when these scam sites charge me, they fail. Haha.

by Bancakes 5y ago
The same way open source crypto libraries do.

by Bancakes 5y ago
Game devs should know who's cheating serverside. After all, that's where most of the logic takes place, specifically because they don't trust users.

By and large, modern mass produced monitors are more than good enough. In fact, the best programmers in history had no problems running big CRTs. These people don't need any fluff, and don't blame underperformance on lack of techn

by Bancakes 5y ago
I don't understand this consumerist mindset. A monitor is a monitor. Programmers don't need color accuracy so any 4k will suffice. Your thinking just incenivizes "Programming grade" monitors that are just overpriced regu

It was never going to be 10%. The virus is too localized on the elderly, who isolate and vaccinate themselves well anyway.
