ELI5: What kind of security mechanisms do software companies use to ensure that the source code of their products will be practically impossible to discover?

    • Russia says NATO, at 75, has returned to Cold War mindset

  • Sadhguru - "If one sells weapons to another, they'd be disappointed if they don't use it."

    Once deweaponization is done, all cold war would subside.

    • Open Source Maintainers Owe You Nothing

    Jump

  • Every open source software has a maintainer. In case of it being maintained by 'community', it is maintained by a person who pretends all are included.

    • Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

  • Thank you! :) I offer it. I assure you it is the best product that is theoretically possible!

  • I'm not poor but this always helps everyone. Wait for a while before you buy the thing off your shopping list. Wait for a week and reconsider whether you indeed need it.

    If the answer is still yes, buy it. It is a must do for expensive things. Never break this rule for any massive purchase like a car or something!

  • Low price Sale does not exist. It's a myth!

    • Anyone knows a good lightweight self-hosted alternative to GitHub?

    Jump

  • Now that is what I call a truely amazing meme for showing the amazing capitalism abilities!

    • What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?

    Jump

  • If you comply with their interests, nothing. Once you do anything that even looks like being against their interests, they use this data. There are programs of called DARPA LifeLog which literally logs everything. They even create DeepFakes based on the data they collect, ofc, not officially.

    Yes, never give any data more than you need to give and move towards free and minimal software.
