I recently took apart my weed whacker and it used the same ball bearing. I actually learned that these ball bearing casings (?) are super common. I replaced mine with a skate board bearing and it’s as good as new.

You’d think it should be less expensive.
But then you’re not thinking of increasing shareholder value.
How dare you!
The CVS app is my favorite example of this. Their app (at least on Android) is a fucking browser.
Walgreens is an actual app and works the way you expect it to.
Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.
I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.
I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.
The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?
What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.
I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.
It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you’re using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn’t pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.
Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.
As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don’t use it for my own software, unless I really don’t care for it.
Why do you have so many porn tabs open?
There is a saying in engineering.
Anyone can build a bridge.
It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.
I always liked Barney Stimson’s advice on running a marathon.
Step 1: start running
Step 2: there is no step two
This! Some discomfort is to be expected but it shouldn’t hurt. It should be a good “pain” like it feels good afterwards not a “I really regret all the things” pain.
Hot damn good for you!
Keep us updated! I don’t think lemmy has a remindme bot but I’m saving this comment.
As much as I’d like to believe that SCOTUS will honor separation between state and federal, I simply do not trust our current justices. I fully expect them to say, “Nah…it’s totes cool for Trump, and only Trump, to commit crimes.”
There was an encryption system a few years ago that offered this out of the box.
I can’t remember the name of it but there was a huge vulnerability and basically made the software unusable.
Crypt box or something like that.
I think that’s part of it. The other part is that primary school teachers have to teach to the curriculum and not what they want. So if they want to teach about how whites got preferential treatment but the county school board says “No CrItIcAl RaCe ThEoRy!1”, they can’t teach it.
My college history professors were far more engaging. Especially my military history professor.
Christians like the one that OP posted don’t practice Christianity.
They practice “you believe what I tell you/I believe what I’ve been told to believe”
You could read Jesus’ teachings to them, verbatim, and they’d think it was an Obama campaign speech.
Microsoft is using copilot to find more intrusive ways to install copilot.
It’s called reinforcement learning.
Yup. Never ever buy lifetime licenses.
Even on software you love. Especially for software you love.
I wouldn’t trust those man pages. They haven’t been updated in almost 2000 years.
It was a one-time spell for the son of the main dev.
Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.
Good for you!
