It’s an anti commercial license. The thought is that, they don’t mind if people copy their comments, save them, re use them, etcetera, they just don’t want people to make money off of them, likely this is a response to AI companies profiting off of user comments

However I’m not sure if just linking the license without context that the comment itself is meant to be licensed as such would be effective. If it came down to brass tacks I don’t know if it would hold up.

Instead they should say something like

‘this work is licensed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license’

I’m also not sure how it works with the licenses of the instance it’s posted on, and the instances that federate with, store and reproduce the content.

Like… for what?

Marketing.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I just want to say, the reason the terminal is helpful in these types of scenarios is never communicated properly in my opinion.

The reason when you ask people for help or Google stuff and get terminal commands back is because they are clear, concise, and reproducible. It’s really hard from the perspective of the people helping, to communicate, usually over text, how to navigate UIs that are ever changing and change depending on the users hardware and setup. This is true for windows too, and it’s why getting any help beyond very simple troubleshooting will devolve into powershell commands.

As for this scenario, it’s just inflammatory on purpose, would anyone mention or care if one person at Microsoft who was a project lead retired after decades of working? There are literally thousands of contributors to the Linux kernel, this is just one of them retiring. A maintainer is only one role in a project and can (and will) very easily be replaced. If not by a volunteer, then in a paid position from one of the many companies that pay developers to maintain the Linux kernel. Regardless, there is already people maintaining the the ath10k, ath11k, and ath12k drivers. This is really just a non issue of a temporary vacancy for one position, the same thing that happens at every single software organization every day.

737s are barely bigger than this and not jumbo jets, they are narrow bodies.

737s are also kind of funny to pick since they are kind of notoriously small (this was one of the causes for the max crashes, Boeing needed to lengthen the nose gear and move the engines significantly higher on the wing in order to fit them, a normal 737NG with CFM56 engines, the bottom of the engine is about 2 feet off the ground only).

CRJs are smaller, but they are still commercial jets that fit tons of people.

This is a joke right? I really really hope that they aren’t trusting randoms to know how to manage a gpg key properly.

It’s hard enough to get people actually interested in it to do it correctly.

And using gpg to constantly identify yourself would mean needing to keep multiple copies of your private key all over the place. I find it unlikely that regular people are issuing new keys and revocation certs properly. Not to mention having canonical key servers (maybe the government could manage that, but the individual is responsible for maintaining a way to get the canonical most up to date key)

Using gpg backfires because if you lose access to the key or it’s compromised (say by putting it on your phone) you lose everything. They work for people who know what they are doing because you are supposed to issue keys for specific tasks and identities, but there is just no way that that is happening.

There has always been money, it’s just other people footing the bill for you.

You don’t pay all at once, you need to pay quarterly tax estimates or you will be constantly paying penalties.

I really wish people would stop giving bad tax advice to strangers.

Just so you know, you will likely face underpayment penalties doing this.

I suggest you avoid giving 16 year olds tax advice.

If the lesser evil were consistently voted in year over year, the evilness would slowly decline.

The problem is that doesn’t happen. The lesser evil is often not selected, that’s the part that shifts the scale.

He’s not worth the wasted filament…

Well an uppercase ASCII char is a different char than its lowercase counterpart. I would argue that not differentiating between them is an arbitrary rule that doesn’t make any sense, and in many cases, is more computationally difficult as it involves more comparisons and string manipulations (converting everything to lower case).

And the result is that you ultimately get files with visually distinct names, that aren’t actually treated as distinct, and so there is a disconnect from how we process information and how the computer is doing it.

‘A’ != ‘a’, they are just as unequal as ‘a’ and ‘b’

Edit: I would say the use case is exactly the same as programming case sensitivity, characters have meaning and capitalizing them has intent. Casing strategies are immensely prevalent in programming and carry a lot of weight for identifying programmers’ intent (properties vs backing fields as an example) similar intent can be shown with file names.

This isn’t art, it’s a platform, it’s a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

It’s not my comment.

It seems like they both imply deletion, but I can still see the comment

In normal driving scenarios sure. The car still has brakes though for emergency and unconventional situations.

Not really related but I find it funny that you need money to get bail, but if you have money to pay bail, then you are flight risk and don’t get the option.

Shit comes from the old English word scitte which then became middle English schyt.

It goes back to proto info Europeans and has cognates with many other euro languages, notably Scheiße.

I mean, yea? What are the other options?

I think in this scenario you just have to pretend we are ok economically, because of the Internet went down entirely, the world economy would completely collapse in a few hours to days.

Money hasn’t been printed, but for the bookkeeping, 3 individuals who have contributed a total of 200 dollars, have in their accounts 380 dollars.

When a bank loans your money out, as we are well aware, they don’t change the account in your balance. In order to do that, the dollar being loaned must be duplicated somehow. This is normal to how fractional banking works, and guidelines and requirements for how much specific money you need to maintain doesn’t change that.

The only way to change it is to switch to full reserve banking.

If a bank is able to loan out your money, without also removing it from your account, it is by nature created, the money is in two places at once.
