Lol billionaires absolutely have cash too.

It's beneficial to keep most of it in stocks, sure, but they also get dividends, which can be used to buy more assets, or kept in waiting for a market downturn to buy even more assets.

Source?

I mean the owners of this "Estonian" company are Russian and Belarussian (company ownership is public record here in Estonia and foreigners can easily start companies), so I wouldn't be surprised, but I also hate how easily unsubstantiated claims spread on the Internet.

You don't even have to be a datahoarder to help. Run ArchiveTeam warrior on a computer

Easiest way if you're already someone who needs to use Docker, is to throw this compose file somewhere and run it: Docker Compose file for Warrior

First off, that's literally what Forgejo is trying to do

Secondly, git is technically already federated.

Things are a lot better than you might think. It's just that people naturally gravitate towards centralized services, because of the network effect.

He'd have to ask Big Balls to borrow his technical expertise.

Any productivity it gives has a noticible drop in quality and capabilities that result in net loss.

The productivity that skillful users get from it does not have a drop in quality or capabilities.

Word it better if you want people to understand that you mean another thing entirely.

Also love how you're downvoting my comments just because you disagree with me, whereas I've yet to downvote any of your comments. Really puts it into perspective with what kind of a person I'm arguing with. Bye.

Two people have told you that AI can be useful, but not if used by people who don't know what they're doing. It boosts the productivity of people who know the field they're working in, and know the strengths and weaknesses of AI.

You ignore it and say that because some people don't know how to use it, it's completely useless.

Holy shit everyone was right and he doesn't understand how tariffs work

You said ANY productivity. It sounds like you mean amateur productivity.

Idk, AI generated boilerplate code via Copilot and similar utilities have been useful. I wouldn't trust it to build an entire system, but it does alright at automating mundane shit.

AI in creative fields might be a different story.

Oh wow I looked up AGi32 and that thing seems like a mess. I feel sorry for you.

I get that it might be hard to migrate some really nastily written software, but... In the year of our lord 2025, it should not be acceptable for any sort of simulation software that requires an expensive paid license, to be 32-bit only.

My conspiracy theory is that big social platforms like Instagram and/or Snapchat are behind the change, because the P in PM is for Private and they are fundamentally against privacy, as they profit off your data, including likely analyzing your messages to serve you more relevant ads.

You can run quality modern oils for 20k in a car as robust as a Toyota if you change out the filter mid-interval.

Germans specify 12-15k nowadays and they run much tighter tolerances.

It has awesome reviews on Amazon so it's worth it

Codeberg is a non-profit that has no fees, but accepts donations. They only allow FOSS projects.

Why would I move away from git if I could just move away from github/lab and keep git?

OP said they were 63 and only now getting into programming. I can understand not knowing these things tbh.

A little bit of both tbh. Many US cities have ridiculous zoning laws that require you to build nothing but single family homes in huge suburbs. No medium density and no mixed zones (think grocery store next to your home or even downstairs from your condo unit). Liberal areas have it too. It's about as universal as healthcare is in my country. The origin is, of course, racism.

There's other forms of red tape too, like building codes, but the inability to build like a 6 family 2 or 3 story condo complex is costing the US a lot. Lost productivity, forced car dependence, higher infrastructure costs, etc. And of course higher real estate prices because you get fewer units per unit of land area.

You can't review changes in the next build before it's actually released?

Currently you can still keep up with the master branch. PRs are merged a fair bit more often than new builds are made.

Ah and nobody outside of Google can contribute to Android development. I believe up till now if you found a bug you could fix it and open a PR? No?

typing commands just feels good to me

That's because for the most part, it's faster. You don't have to lift one hand off the keyboard. Also using the cursor and clicking on something requires more precision and effort to get right compared to typing a word or 2 and hitting enter.

This is me kinda bragging, but at my typing speeds, something like ls -la is under half a second. Typing cd proj (tab to auto complete) (first few letters of project name if it's fairly unique) (tab to auto complete), hitting enter, and then typing a quick docker compose up is an order of magnitude faster than starting the containers in docker GUI.

But tbh Linux commands really are ridiculously cryptic - and needlessly so.

Agreed. Okay, to be fair, for parameters, most of the time you have the double-dash options which spell out what they do, and for advanced users there's the shorthands so everyone should be happy. But the program/command names themselves. Ugh. Why can't we standardize aliases for copy, move, remove/delete? Keep the old binaries names, but make it so that guides for new users could use actual English aliases so people would learn quicker?

Who tf looks at feature branches unless it's particularly relevant to them or they're reviewing a PR?

It's not like they merge half-baked features straight to master every day lol
