At 50k USD / year revenue it would be impossible, probably a lot easier at 1m / year. Higher profile use cases are known, and companies tend to comply with licenses rather than pirate software. Just like now, you lose a lot of con

I often think the solution is to move away from crafting a perfect ideology to encapsulate in your license, and just throw out some numbers. If you make more than N* the median income of this or that place, you can't use this softwar

Shorts are hell. I use FF Redirector plugin to gently save myself without restricting content, but there are other ways. Redirect: *youtube.com/shorts/* to: $1youtube.com/watch?v=$2

It's not a bug, it's extremely passive aggressive. They couple it with rewriting their browser, working group recommendations, and legal lobbying to make shoving ads down your throat their basic "human" right. When I saw

Locking down Chrome and killing ad blockers is not some huge effort, it's closer to the flick of a wrist. Neither is locking down android. They can just do it. And if they think there is nothing anybody can do about it, they will, to g

Amazon was hopeless even with the apps, because they had their hooks into things even worse than google. They are shameless. Most other tech companies large enough to even try would be as bad or worse. All that type of money went to llms, w

I have received that many on average every day for the last 2-3 years. Nothing I can do about it, my number is public for business calls. It's absolutely rage inducing.

If it takes 10x the time to do something, did you learn 10x as much? I don't mind repetition, I learned that way for many years and it still works for me. I recently made a short program using ai assist in a domain I was unfamiliar wit

It's becoming more and more common in my experience, hence the long post. Ubuntu's notorious hiding snaps in apt by writing wrappers and making it hard to work around it is the next level of this trend - and it is deplorable. That

In the spirit of conversation I will give you my take on this. Things I hate: Flatpak, Snaps, Docker containers, SystemD (different I know, but worth a mention due to the strong emotions nonetheless). Obviously too big a topic to talk about

That stood out to me as well. It comes across as greedy - "some of you must suffer, but that is a price I am willing to pay".

Next there will be AI overseers to monitor whether you flip past the ads too quickly while reading a magazine. We have technology to apply almost unlimited controls on people. The only thing protecting humanity (very feebly right now) is le

Yes, because the theater effectively deceives a large portion of the voting public. "Both sides" here are the least important players in the charade. It's everybody they are hosing I care about.

I installed this on a kitty cam. It was very easy, discord was a fun experience. Great software, and great group. Do not underestimate how useful it is to have firmware for your specific device - I bought my cam based on thingino support, a

Your comment makes much more sense if you also want to have a desktop,and only in some network configurations. It's most likely the minority use case, but worth considering if it might fit. A lot of people just use laptops and tablets

Some of us don't wait for school to introduce us to things, but seek them out because we are interested. And although I saw a couple of these in our libraries, my uni studies had nothing to do with newspapers (as most fields of study d

Since you mentioned restic, is there something wrong with using restic append-only with occasional on-server pruning instead of pulling? I thought this was the recommended way of avoiding ransomware problems using restic.

As you said, everybody will have their own approach. For me, setting up a dedicated firewall to protect the soft underbelly of my less tech savvy family computers was the primary motivation for starting a home lab. I could not imagine a net

How are you securing taris? Where is your local network firewall? Which one are you using? Why did you go with Nextcloud instead of using something more barebones, for example a restic server?
