I do think that if there is a replacement to git in the future, it will probably have pull requests, tags, etc. built in that most git servers support but implement separately since they’re not in the standard. Alternatively, GitHub as a pl

Equating workers sharing ownership of a business and oppressive communist governments that sent people to gulags is a bit ridiculous. “Your business must be owned by a single rich person or a bunch of shareholders who aren’t workers themsel

I’m not stupid, of course I tried that first Essentially this doesn’t work because every email client I tried can’t handle the specific way my work email account does authorization and the login always fails. They also blocked POP/IMAP

The LLM world has been really good at bootstrapping models so I’m sure this will be used to create something exactly or more powerful than it without using any of its existing code.

That’s pretty neat, I didn’t realize there were any that large.

I think it makes sense to appoint a CEO who can be dismissed or have their policies dismissed by a simple majority vote and who can be nominated and voted on by anyone during an election. That would help resolve disputes where different sec

Not sure how that’s relevant here. Worker owner co ops and tank style communism are vastly different things

I use Vivaldi (not chrome itself but another Chromium browser) because I want PWA support on my Linux machine so I can have an app for outlook with notifications and Chromium browsers make that far more convenient than Firefox.

They’re not, they want legal protections to stop companies from replacing them For example paying someone for a day, scanning them, and using their image forever in AI content is both legal and allowed under SAG guidelines. Even if you thin

I like the “open source will be enforced” nature of GPLv3 for that reason. Yes,it does mean that a developer some some huge company will have to write their own version of your project instead of just using yours and thus your code would be

Yep. In 2023 you cannot buy a copy of Mario Kart Wii and have the money go to the people who wrote, or even wrote the IP for the game anyways so it’s kind of a victimless crime. Obviously pirating a game you can still legally buy from the r

Yes this is literally their job and they are doing it well If they’re not then if this somehow does happen then the US will be unprepared and won’t have contingency plans, and things can change very quickly- for example, most people in the

As someone in the second group the IDE is basically just doing the first thing efficiently for you when you do the second thing. Not a good or bad thing but I do think that that’s interesting to note

To be fair Twitter was never designed to be used by news sites, it just was when it happened to be good at it.

Afghanistan between the Soviet invasion and the US invasion is basically “Taliban: The Country”. I’m not sure that’s an improvement

Good call to offer a pre order, that should make it easy to deliver them

Afghanistan is also a good example (it used to be better pre Soviet invasion)

Odd example but the Nintendo 3DS/DS/Wii U are also good examples of string devices built out of plastic because they needed to both be extremely durable and relatively cheap. It’s completely doable if you make it a design goal

In other countries you can commute easily without a car by using transit and rail.

Zip line also works because it’s for rural areas that don’t have a good road network, in the US driving would almost certainly be faster.

Since this is an Arduino product it would presumably be compatible with existing Arduino code and would be easier to get started with than the cheaper ones since it would have built in support within the Arduino IDE. If you’re teaching an A

A lot of video uploaded to YouTube is stuff like “Dorothy’s first school play” or “Epic UFO sighting” or “Josh’s 5th birthday” that gets >1000 views, the stuff that you actually see when you browse YouTube as a viewer is in the minority

That would be great but it’s most likely not going to work that way- Meta will never let you use Mastodon to act as a threads client so any integration between the two will probably let people view mastodon from threads but not vice versa (

I think YouTube might be the exception to this because of how expensive video hosting is. Mastodon is actually doing a great job funding itself but it and Lemmy/Kbin are all text based protocols. The only other sites even close to YouT

Honestly you would probably be better off with an iPhone SE (the original one) for that use case today as long as Slack still works on iOS 15.

I think this makes sense as the internet basically stops being a monolith. In the earlier days of the internet there was a lot of value in getting everyone onto a single platform and everyone using a site would generally have the same share

From the article it seems like Meta is adding ActivityPub support into threads as a way to let people use Threads to talk to Mastodon users and not the other way around. That’s a pretty good reason to defederate from Threads if you run a Ma

Some sort of way to contact people who own activation locked devices that have been stolen would be nice, I once got an activation locked Apple Watch in the mail (long story) and tried to return it to the owner and was pretty much told “no

On the threads app it seems clear that they want to support Mastodon in the future, all the usernames have an “@threads.net” label that doesn’t make sense to have unless they are going to support other URL’s in the future.

Actually no- downloading copyright infringing material is legal as far as I can tell but uploading it isn’t. The illegal part of torrenting copyrighted material is the uploading that the protocol requires you to do. Your ISP will send you a
