It will be interesting to see if N. Koreans start defecting after fighting for Russia.

There seems to be this very unpleasant new model of development, where companies start off as nonprofits, often employing open source or permissive licenses. Then at a certain point once they have leveraged that to scale, and they snap back permissions and licenses or close new development. Then they transfer ownership or organizational structure to be for profit.

I think it’s a really toxic and damaging approach that jeopardizes the social contract making open source software possible.

I almost feel like we need a new system for open source that examines organizational structure. An open source project that’s receiving millions in VC should not be in the same category as an open source project that’s funded on Patreon or directly by users.

He uses it, as well as his opponents. It’s not a political statement one way or the other.

If you need something more universal, you should try a file share service with linking like Dropbox. I know it’s not ideal to replace Google with another paid service, but it is the other option.

Either both people have to have the same app to exchange the file (which if you want something common, means Google, Apple, Samsung, etc), or both people access a server to share large files.

Proton offers file sharing, too.

Well, yeah. We can’t afford rent either.

Should we suffer from rent we can’t afford or a house that might one day have some value?

Okay, do Georgia next.

The messed up part is that Facebook actively pushes this garbage. I use Meta for work/networking, and I have this stuff on my page all the time. You can’t block it because there’s so much. You can’t report it; the Facebook reply is basically, “no, nothing wrong here. It’s supposed to be like that.”

And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!

“It’s called by the codename ‘Conversion Therapy’ so call or write your senator and tell them to ban conversion therapy now!”

My wife got this for recording board meetings and it does a pretty impressive job picking up different people around a room. https://a.co/d/9QiaXvr

It’s basic decency to me. You don’t have to like someone to be courteous.

Maybe it has different social significance in UK

I love that all of the countries of the world tend to experience ups and downs with birth rate. However, only China, does away with the complexities of economic incentives, fiddly laws, educational programs, and delicate immigration policies. Rather, the government approach is simply, “stop having children!” “Now have more children!” “Go!”

You can’t prove it’s not hexadecimal.

Clearly all we need is a “Black Wall Street.” What could go wrong?

Read all about exactly what went wrong here.

Keen observers will notice the obvious anachronism in this photo. Of course, I’m referring to none other than the notched lapel of the general’s outer jacket. Although he certainly was well known for his double breasted suits, the president could not possibly have worn a notch lapel jacket, which we’re not popularized until over 100 years later in the 1880s. Truly preposterous and whimsical.

I don’t see any indication that this is limited to the Euclidean plane either

Peace is easy when you plan to just appease every aggressor.
