This is actually great advice 👍.

Boobies... for a friend of course.

The what 🤨...

They still don't. Most devices are left at default settings around here.

The owners are sketchy and they have closed source pro features (which was expected to be honest). They also don't like criticism and ban accounts on reddit for questioning some of their practices (like why has a vulnerability PR not been merged for more than a year). I should know, they banned me from their subreddit for asking this and deleted my comment. I later found out that this was common practice with them.

Doesn't mean their systems are not up to date, it just means that a security hole has been discovered. Hopefully, it's patched now.

My biggest concern is them having the source.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A colleague of mine in uni that studied software engineering had this take on it: "I don't have to invest anything but time in what I'm doing, so making mistakes or doing something for the heck of it is justified. On the other hand you (me) invest not only time, but also money in a project that might come out to be not really practical to be used in the real world."

He has a point to be honest. Plus, with real hardware projects it's not like you can get "lost" in the design process and be like "u, I can do this, and add this, and maybe this" cuz that costs extra money and time, plus a schematic and PCB redesign, etc. So, yeah, I do agree that it's easier to tinker and get lost in code.

He has, no doubt there, but he's completely unflexible. The FSF would be better off without him. Other than the GNU tools, there really isn't much else that the FSF has done regarding free software. Like where are they now with the RH debacle. That thing is a dead on court case and they're nowhere to be found.

I'd hate to think what other projects needed their legal help and they were hiding under or a rock or something.

Also, one of the main reasons why many projects nowadays are under MIT or BSD licenses is because of Stallman. The lingo he uses is sort of faschist. The only good license is the GPL license, nothing else. That's no way to present something... anything really.

Lol 🤣, he doesn't like plants? Didn't know that 😂.

That is true though, I agree. If I do see it as practice, then yes, I would do it regardless.

It's basically a fancy way to reuse code.

Dude, you don't have to be a dev to write code. There are many self-taught coders out there. I do agree that they should read a book or two regarding coding pracices, but hey, you don't like it, rewrite it 🤷.

Me, personally, if someone else made it, I need it and I don't have time to meddle (I usually don't), I just use it. With all do respect, fuck coding practices, I got more important things in my life to worry about.

He's been working on being more creative in his social conflict resolving skills.

lol 🤣🤣🤣

Aha... so that's why my wife says "why you gotta always complicate things" 😂.

Not regarding coding in particular, I'm an electronics and telecommunications engineer, I do code a little though (here and there 😋), but regarding every day things, like maybe make something that will ease my life, yeah sure, I do that. But it has to be something I use frequently enough, otherwise, no I don't see the point in spending the time and the energy to actually do it.

Mhm, would definitely agree. Things don't have to be simple, I get that, but at least be honest about it, don't beat around the bush.

To be honest, yes, this is very true. Politicans use this all the time... and I just hate it when they talk for like 30 minutes and basically say nothing.

Oh, I missed the car part in car commuters 😁, sorry 👍.

You could taste the burning enamel.
