Open source does not mean open license.

Yes, typically with two entirely separate disks, not just partitions on the same physical disk.

If you cannot trust yourself, then do not provide yourself temptation

It is 5 minutes of work to use your source control tool, and have a read only view for other people.

Being open source doesn't mean you have to accept PRs or pay for audits. It just means your source is... Open...

There's nothing disingenuous about that? Did we read the same things?

Being closed source doesn't fix any of the issues they noted.

I'd rather they just say "I'm ashamed of my code".

I just commented this elsewhere, but I personally feel that their reasons for being closed source are worse than actually just being closed source.

I wasn't worried about it being proprietary until I saw the founder reasoning for not having the source be open under a nonpermissive licence.

I decided to go with logseq because of it.

It also syncs with all my devices using my own servers, instead of needing to trust obsidian/logseq.

If you don't want abusers to have rights, then just make it a felony.

It's really that easy.

Very true, there's no standards beyond each tech's personal ethics.

Former tech at an indie shop (in the USA):

I didn't want to dig into people's personal shit, especially not their niche porn collections.

Browsing history was one thing we actually would look at in order to determine infection vector (when doing virus removal). We would usually counsel the customer on how to avoid it in the future. Obviously didn't do that on non-virus issues because that would be wrong and a total waste of my limited time.

The only time we would look at any images, erotic or not, is if they looked suspicious on a scan or by filename.

Because of prior incidents, we also would check files that might be CSAM and report those to the cops. Usually a thumbnail in a scanner/explorer/etc program would bring that suspicion.

I personally wouldn't want any files from a customer PC, and the only USB I'd be using is the shop one with all the antivirus on it.

Phone-as-EPIRB is truly one of the biggest benefits.

I would suggest only having instantaneous location history or very short like 10min to avoid the temptation to pry.

Just softening them up for 2027

Everyone does it eventually

Only superpower left who hasn't tried to invade them at some point in time.

Oh and I forgot, a big one, I engage the cats if they show interest in my task.

When cooking they can smell safe things, if I'm working on tech i have a very large screw and bolt for them to play with/try out instead of my small ones.

Cats are social and want to be included, if you give them the option to do "parallel play" I think it will improve what people see as problem behaviors that are really just begging to be included.

Fetch: grab the toy if they play with it and it ends up close by, use verbal reinforcement

Names: the cats recognize everyone's name in the hous thanks to reinforcement learning

Locations: the cats know where I'm going and can beat me there because I tell them where I'm going, sounds like reinforcement learning again?

Activities: set phrases like "let's go", "come on", "let's get some food", "jump up", etc, all by reinforcement training.

Paw-touching: slowly touch more and more often, for longer, until nail clipping is a breeze. Hmm... Might be reinforcement training again.

To end bad behaviors, hiss, it's a built-in "no" for cats.

It sucks and I canceled it and subscribed to it through YouTube which means paramount gets 30% less money.

I am floored no one mentioned the original Ratchet and Clank

David Bergeaud did such a standout job with it, it's so varied but cohesive, it's engaging and synthy but real and groovy.

It MAKES the environment just as much as graphics.

Thankfully RHEL/Centos/Fedora also get attention thanks to the large corporate influence.

Anything else can just be compiled from scratch, after spending 6 hours trying to figure out what ajfiwn-0-libs-dev is in redhat land, only to find out it was libfiwn-devel all along.
