Well, look at Trump. Trump was kicked from Twitter, so he made an alternative one (Truth Social). It seems to be running on Mastodon, which is what you suggested; and he made some custom app, which you suggested. Unfortunately, I cannot see

Lots of people are on Telegram nowadays but then I follow a lot of Russian and Ukrainian sources so that’s why. It’s very popular there. I still don’t know how they make money though. It’s shady.

I have no comment about the main article, but I agree about the other unrelated point below - that Commons is really start to show its age. It’s kind of comical how YouTube and flickr is listed there as the “new boys on the block”, but I ag

yeah I saw that too. They take the books from archive.org, it’s public domains books. It’s essentially legal, and I think it’s not that scammy honestly. People want these books on paper, nobody prints them anymore or has the texts. edit: I

On every project, there are always some “hard problems”. Parts of the code nobody wants to touch. Tasks that seem too big. Work on those. Attack the hard problems. And if your work code doesn’t have those hard problems, you probably have a

This post and the “parenting” post should join together. Have a kid, then you’ll be happy you work remotely and won’t miss other people.

Training AI on copyrighted works is literally what Google always did. Look how Google News enraged news orgs. Now they come for the programmers. So now it’s a problem.

Ah googling him, it seems to me he was employed by cz.nic in 2012 or such. All right.

I am not sure what is the point of this? (of course except for "because you can", which is a good reason to do things, sure) Why be cgo-less, when in the end, it is just transpiled, with unsafe.pointer everywhere? Do you gain some

cz.nic is a Czech domain registrar. (CZ NIC...) Even as a Czech, I have no idea if they are owned/governed by state, or not. I need to look into wiki for that. edit: oops it might be entirely unrelated. Sorry! edit2: my confusion is un

One Weird Trick that IKEA does is also paying almost no corporate taxes, as all IKEA is owned by several non-profits across Europe. I think Lidl does the same trick too.
