Are you suggesting that the algorithms for every website are pro-trump?

Algorithms mostly care about profit and user engagement.
Go check the front page of reddit and see how most political posts are about trump’s/america’s fuck ups.

They don’t ever browse the internet?
They never watch tv?
And they never have conversations with somebody who has?

I’d assume the average american has a rough idea of what’s going on. You’d have to try pretty hard to avoid it.

Of course people are going to prioritise their daily issues and the things that directly affect them, but don’t pretend that nobody ever gets spare time. There wouldn’t be multi-billion dollar media companies if that were the case.

It just seems like people prefer media consumption / escapism over education.

Yes! Another one is ‘the sniff’.
There’s been so many times when I walk past somebody and they do that weird outward sniff thing, like they want me to know they’re there.

Now that’s a big load!

Maybe read the message before pressing send?

I guess I forgot to mention that those platforms usually require you to sign NDA’s that prevent you from releasing any code that references their SDK.
This makes it impossible to license your entire project as GPL/AGPL, as you would be breaking the NDA.

Using a GPL library will require you to re-license your entire project as GPL, regardless of whether you made a change or not.

LGPL is a bit better, because it allows you to dynamically link the library. But you’re required to provide a copy of source for the library, and any users must be able to swap the built library with their own copy.

Eg; you can use an AGPL-licensed .dll in your closed-source windows program, because users can swap that .dll easily.

You can’t do the same for a ps5 game because users aren’t able to replace any files that the game uses.

If you’re developing software for a platform that doesn’t allow users to replace dynamic libraries (game consoles, iOS, many embedded/commercial systems), you won’t be able to legally use any GPL or AGPL libraries.

While I strongly agree with the motives behind copyleft licenses, I personally never use them because I’ve had many occasions where I was unable to use any available library for a specific task because they all had incompatible licenses.

I release code for the sole purpose of allowing others to use it. I don’t want to impose any restrictions on my fellow developers, because I understand the struggle it can bring.

Even for desktop programs, I prefer MIT or BSD because it allows others to take snippets of code without needing to re-license anything.

Yes I understand that means anyone can make a closed-source fork, but that doesn’t bother me.
If I wanted to sell it I might care, but I would have used a different license for a commercial project anyway.

Hannah Montana Linux is always a good start

They probably thought it was a game about eating ass

Guess I’ve been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
I still don’t fully understand though… Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?

Ughh I fucking hate when this happens.
I get that you can’t load everything at once, but put some placeholder stuff there so the link I’m about to click doesn’t shift halfway down the page a millisecond before I click.

Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.

What a shitty beach

Ah fair enough, can’t argue with personal preference.
You sure you weren’t using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.

I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?

It’s actually a comment on the performance loss incurred from a likely failed branch prediction.

Yes. It’s clearly red.
