In a way, you're open sourcing logo designs copyrighted by others, though. Some OSS projects may not care, but others can be just as protective of their branding as full-fledged companies, from what I've seen.

So is there, like, a Baker News out there somewhere?

Would it be possible for someone else to start their own garbage company or hospital with minimum government interference? If not, then you are already seeing "unhealthy capitalism."

One of my favorite points about SQLite which hasn't been addressed yet in the comment thread is that its databases are just single flat files. Need to copy data from a server to a local dev machine? No need to log into the server, make

Unoptimized Drupal sites of moderate complexity with caches disabled (a use case only intended for development workflows, but it's of course quite simple to run a live site under such situations) can easily invoke 200-400 queries per p

Though I would agree that the option to have stricter type checking in SQLite would be a good thing, I don't think your criticism is fair in this case, since it sounds like a case of poor discipline on behalf of the coder(s).

I'll buy that this is a true native macOS app, but why does it seem to be trying so hard not to be? Why does everything have a flat white background, and why is the list of data not a standard Cocoa list view? It's still a bit too

A bureaucracy-induced property ownership spat between two groups of affluent people in a state that has defined limousine liberalism and a city which has personified it.

Inside the US, "loose" as a typo of "lose" is common too, but inside or outside it's still wrong.

I imagine it would be simpler to just use Unix time, which is already time zone agnostic.

In Japan (and perhaps elsewhere in east Asia?), it's common to see, for example, a bar which is open from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM to have a sign advertising its open hours as "17:00 - 26:00." It looks silly at first but the meanin

Apple had an IRC server too. It seemed to be one of the kinds of servers that many companies had back in the day, perhaps sitting next to their Gopher server.

Do you also get sore thinking about the pollution and waste of energy caused by people playing video games? Also, if the cost of Bitcoin falls to $0, I will want to collect all of the coins for free. But then someone else will probably offe

I, for one, could do with a lot less "people management" in government, and a lot more liberty.

Such permitting is a crony capitalist scheme to protect the existing taxi drivers at the cost of those wishing to enter into or compete with the industry. See also cosmetology licenses in many states in the US, which are just dumbest thing.

I would hope that safe harbor laws would protect you in a case like that, similar to how Amazon doesn't get busted if one of their customers uses AWS to store illegal material.

How does this compare to Mastodon/GNU social? From what I can tell, this is inviting me to run a P2P program on my own system rather than on a server; is that just an implementation detail?

Could you elaborate on why Filecoin is a different issue? Is it because I have to specifically download (or allow others to upload to me) the files so I can host them?
