Hard agree on this. Sell software and services to companies, only sell services to end users. I believe both selling your service as a dev and selling a service behind a free app are compatible with copyleft.
Earlier this week i ended up pirating some games i actually own because it was easier that way than the official one (which involved going through 3 freaking launchers for one game!), so there's the answer lol.
Trusting someone for convenience isn't ideal, but not everyone has the time and resources to audit, compile, and host a dumb frontend for yt. Most of the people here is good enough trusting literally anyone except a big tech company, including FOSS devs, the people who check the code, and public instances of their software. Even considering recent drama (solved by the community btw) I'd trust any FOSS project over google any day.
Once a software vendor demonstrates theyre untrustworthy, why would I risk using their products?
How are you using windows then? They've had innumerable security breaches, not to talk about how MS demonstrates again and again that the only thing they care about is money. Does "trustworthy" mean "american" or "only sells my data to the USA gov and other US companies" then sure, it is trustworthy as fuck.
Of course you will invalidate that with some mental gymnastics, but this same thing happens even with freaking usb (charge only, mind me) cables from aliexpress, with people saying they have fucking chips to spy on you. Again, racism.
And spare us from the sophist personal attack on people you disagree with
Try to put it however you want, but hating anything that comes from one place just because of that, then adding excuses is fucking racist.
except there's no question of there being significant Russian efforts to meddle in the US and other countries.
And here comes the grand patriotic justification for racism! If you really don't have shit to say about the actual software, just block me or something and spare me from your presence :)
I haven't found a serious critic that didn't rely on fucking racism yet. If the only real argument is "rUsSian cOmPAny bAD" but you're ok with USA companies, you're just braindead.
I don't even use windows for that same reason, but if a windows user asks me, based on past experiences with low end computers (where you can actually tell the diference), I'd always recommend kaspersky for performance and malwarebytes for precision.
Pro tip: Downvotes without arguments only prove my point.
Except FOSS explicitly implies the user is free (as in freedom, not 0$), and the software isn't a product or service, but a tool.
That line only applies when a non-free service or software that's supposed to be meant for profit doesn't have a clear money income. Don't compare "oh how generous is google for giving me free email and drive for no shady reasons at all" to "i host my own email and cloud using foss projects".
Also, windows is basically spyware with a bit of unoptimized OS on top and you still (should) pay for it.
Except WEBP, unlike (most versions of) JPEG, can be compressed without quality loss. This is probably a mix of reuploading a JPEG and a bad encoding by Lemmy's side. It should be fixed if you uploaded an already webp encoded image, so lemmy doesn't try to reformat it, but for a sequels meme it's not worth the time
Tbh I'm pretty new to nixos, but I'm starting to believe if we had that the exact same config (at least without flakes, I'm still having trouble undertanding them) but with a slightly abstracted UI, it would be one of the most user-friendly distros out there.
Like just imagine being able to click "Add program", write the name of a program, having all the options appear below as dropdown menus or on/off switches, then click big blue button "Apply" to rebuild.
Nobody taught me, so I'm not teaching anyone.
Nobody banned me from doing it tho, so there's my answer. Piracy is a consequence of freedom, among other things.
No it is not by a long fucking shot. Our "socialist" party is NOT socialist, they're just "left" wing corrupted liberals. We basically only have [insert color]-wing corrupted liberals, anyone stating otherwise is just too deep in propaganda.
Not very accessible, in the vast majority of (troubleshooting, nothing private) cases free gpt is the best option (fast, free, openAI training on that chat might even be beneficial to the community). Decent GPU's for LLM are stupid pricey.
Windows? Hardware testing? Testing in general? LMAOOO
