> Elon was a nazi nutjob I find it hilarious that people think this because he did some tangentially Roman-salute-esque gesture once. His political platform is nowhere near Nazism. He would actually be a much more interesting person if i

I'd be interested to know as well. I may be in the minority, but I'll take a FOSS project with 80% of the features over a proprietary one with 100% of the features, almost every time. The philosophy of freedom is usually more impo

I don't know what their current video catalog looks like, but they used to do a lot of fairly impressive VFX videos themselves about a decade ago.

It reads like a creepypasta, which is cool, but definitely not convincing.

I use it as an accelerated search engine to learn about things quicker than I otherwise would. But that's it. I ask it a question, it tells me an answer, and I work from there myself. Slapping it into your editor to write the code for

I never grew up in a British family, or had any sort of close proximity to British things. But I still somehow ended up using "grey", "colour", and "behaviour". They just look more correct.

I've used Linux for quite some time, and had always kinda wondered what purpose initramfs served, since I have to rebuild it so often. Thanks.

Or Valve draws from their deep pockets to sell them at a loss in the short term to gain product loyalty in the long term.

> Reality is that either the product sells or it doesn’t. Why do people use this useless phrase template? Yeah, the point is that it's not selling, and it's not selling because people are getting increasingly skeptical about it

Do people actually use GitHub to inspect code? I figure for anything that's not a 1-second lookup, I might as well just do at least a shallow clone of the repo, and look through it with my own personally-tailored editor instead. Not to

It's not necessarily that OpenBSD can't implement the basics, it's that they don't want to. A lot of the high-performance features introduce potential security vulnerabilities. Their main focus is security and correctn
