Yes, non compete clause. Thanks for the correction :)

Intelectual property and patents. (Copying ideas and modifing them was always a part on how societies advances.)

Non disclosure agreements. (Allows company to monopolize on your knowledge and force you out of the industry altogether)

Lottery (a way to extract money from the poorest/dumbest members of the society)

There is a time when you are solving/coding for a specific domain and you quickly start metaprogramming (coding a code generator). That's the moment when you write your own Domain Specific Language. They have a tendency to grow and evolve. In time some of them become full blown programming languages themselves.

My suggestion, learn a few from different paradigms. They are more than eye opening.

GPL and it's derivatives are ones of the most zealous of them, yet they allow you to sell the software. FOSS doesn't require you to give away software for free and it's a common misconception. Apache for example also allows you to sell the software.

You only lose monopolistic control over it.

Software is often free, because other people can choose to alter the software and redistribute for free.

Free in FOSS means as in freedom, not free as in beer. You can demand pay for foss software. You don't have to distribute it for free. The only requirement is that you provide source code if asked for and the other person can also you can modify it and redistribute it (for a price or free) if he wants.

I'm quite out of the loop with sync for lemmy, and frankly don't give a shit. Just please don't spread disinformatiin on what foss is.

Thanks for the correction. This doesn't disregard my argument. Netscape codebase was bloated and underperformant. It was a bad choice for a basis for a new browser.

Gecko was pretty shit performance wise until Firefox quantum in 2017. Back then even Apple decided it's better to use webkit for it's browser.

It's difficult to say exact reasons for each browser. But for Chrome enjoying the dominant position before that, it was better to jump on Chromium as base just for better compatibility with most websites.

Tooling followed soon after

Reddit has a karma sum which is used to deny access from posting altogether. Here if you say something unpopular, you don't get the dopamine hit from upvotes, but you're also not silenced, unless the mod explicitly bans you.

Feudal Tactics found on f-droid. Extremely simple yet very fun, so many hours spent just conquering islands x3

I'm not saying or suggesting moral failing. Just saying that most of them are indoctrinated to a fault. Russians that ran from mobilization is protesting in a way, although a lot still have the same problem of "Russia big, Russia Strong".

The real problem is that there are desires for neo-colonialism, and imperialism in almost every Russian. They grew up with that. It's all they know. They can't be trusted. They are incompatible with big chunk of EU.

These stats are more or less what is reported in my country. Can't fact check everything, since it's more or less the first time it got some shade. Most pro-russian populus here also support Putin and find Ukrainians as nazis, so this didn't seem far fetched.

Seeing different level of protests in Russia (against the war) and in Belarus (against Lukashenko) does show that participation was/is quite little. Even before the war, there were larger protests after Navalny.

There were a few Russians I can deeply respect and can call good russians, but they are the minority sadly. For example Ruslan Zizin.

Although thats quite some mental gymnastics there, mate. Hurr durr, we don't like what EU is doing by no longer buying from us, so we will force egypt to starve.

Grow up

Something around 80 percent of russians actually support Russian imperialistic goals. You can't exactly pity them at this point. The protests were almost non existant in Russia.

Even if Putin drops down tommorow, it's likely that the whole Russia expansion desire remains. Shit even Navalny doesn't want to drop occupied Georgia.

Don't worry, kicking subhuman Russians has already became a pass time activity in most post-soviet countries.

Also Turkey should easily uphold the grain deal, since Russian ships are even afraid to leave the ports

To be fair it's a flash drop in replacement. It isn't supposed to be secure by design, just like flash.

For people who don't know. Sweet piss smell is associated primarely with STIs and Diabetes. Anon likely is shit out of luck.

You might be surprised, but there is quite a chunk of people who can't afford such a luxury.

But why should I know it?
