Having separate accounts for personal stuff is just wise financing, but feeling the need to even make a secret account should tell you where that's headed.
If you read into the blog post this links to, you'll find that is only the opening argument, not the whole argument as you say.
My first paragraph reacts to that... and to be honest, I'm still going to say isn't that controversial.
When most people think of Open Source, they're not thinking about the OSL, they're thinking colloquially (as in the source being open to the public). I suspect he was using that wording colloquially as well - whether that was a slip up or intentional, I don't know, but considering he goes out of his way to let us know about the way Grayjay's licensing works, I don't think he's trying to hide anything by it.
The rest of what I said afterwards was my first reaction towards the rest of the blog, and I stand by it.
One can certainly argue it's not "open source" so much as "source available", but I don't think it's that controversial.
They're providing a product, and obviously don't want other people slapping their name on it and selling what they worked hard to make. Their license makes it easier for them to enforce that.
They also obviously don't want people creating malicious forks of their program, like what keeps happening with NewPipe. So their license also makes it easier for them to enforce that.
If you want to encourage more companies to make their source code available, then maybe we shouldn't shit on those that are.
Plus, per Rossman's own words, you don't even have to buy Grayjay for it to work, it'll just ask you, ala Winrar. Give them a break.
Exactly. Even on regular width monitor, you still have so much more horizontal space to spare than vertical, so putting it on the side just makes sense!
How Microsoft don't see that, at least anymore, is astounding to me
I'm glad to see somebody else as salty as I am over them removing that feature for Windows 11, as that immediately killed any enthusiasm I had towards it.
Just how many laws does this man have to break before he faces any real consequences??
It really is a divide of the rich and the poor, cause if any of us did just one of the things he's done there'd be no question, and we'd be behind bars already.
Exactly. Instead you'll be rewarded with a paid vacation, and then either moved to a new station to continue your spree, promoted for your efforts, or be allowed to retire early with full benefits
It's very difficult to just burst into the mainstream without carving out a niche first, and Meta's Metaverse failed because they couldn't carve out that niche.
Though even if they had tried, the very tech nerds who would be their early adopters already don't trust them because of their shady deals (did anybody say Cambridge Analytica scandel?), so they weren't ever going to fork out money for this.
I'll be honest that while I get that everybody wants representation, making the abbreviation so unwieldy is ruining the whole point of the abbreviation.
Personally I'm sticking with LGBT+, as it is easily memorable and effectively conveys the sentiment, even if it doesn't catch everybody.
The Florida governor pivoted, arguing that if the 2024 election focused on ârelitigating things that happened two, three years ago, weâre going to lose.â
Oh, you mean the shit you guys last did when in power?
I wonder why you might not want to talk about that?
Do you not want to admit that you're going to do exactly the same shit all over again?
The irony isn't lost on me, I'm just not surprised.
There are many communities that still only exist on Reddit, so inevitably someone will have to read Reddit to view those community's content - thus the aggregators.
What I am surprised about is how quickly we started to get bot problems, but where there's a demand for content, you'll get bots I suppose. At least for now there's fewer of them than on Reddit, which is nice.
There are two games I would love to play for the first time again and those are Portal and Dishonored.
Portal is obvious - it's a well-refined and immersive puzzle game with enough story and atmosphere to keep you invested, but never so much as to pull you away from its puzzles. It may only be a short game, but it is one of the best!
The only people I know who haven't given this game the upmost praise are those who've never played it before.
Edit: Portal 2 is also a fantastic game, but it definitely leans on the story more. That is by no means a bad thing though, as we wouldn't the absolute menace that is Cave Johnson without it.
As for Dishonored, the original is Arkane Studio's best game IMO - the world it's set in is so interesting and brimming with lore; the levels are well crafted, and reward the player's creativity and exploration without ever feeling forced; The gameplay is challenging, but without ever feeling overwhelming. I'm sure it has it's flaws, but all these years later, I still remember how much it got right.
Edit: Dishonored 2 was very much like it, and I remember it for all the same reasons, but the first is the one that really captured that lightning in a bottle for me.
I also loved Prey. It plays in a similar style without feeling too much like it's predecessor. I can't say I liked the Roguelike DLC very much though.
Edit 2 Electric-Boogaloo: I keep forgetting Dishonored uses the American spelling. I always remember it in the British spelling. Oops.
