just another dev

I admire your effort, but I’m afraid when idealism met reality they buggered off.

What’s this, Nuance?!

Sir, I will have you know this is a Lemmy server. We don’t do that here.

Now get your pitchfork and rabble!

That truly sucks.

Not in the least bit because displaylink is used in many docks, all of which are barely usable in Linux because the driver support is non existent. If anything, this could BOOST their sales.

Secondly, I really feel like that AI stamp was just added to the title for clickbait. It didn’t matter in the slightest for the issue at hand: Company threatens to ruin developer for fixing their own shit.

Legislate AI away

Why on earth would the whole world agree to that while the economic incentives (to name just one) to do exactly the opposite are so high

What would your preferred outcome in this situation be then? The bad guys are going to use AI to find exploits. What should the good guys do?

Idea: rather than blocking it - which they will just figure out how to circumvent, as shown - just put the suggestion in the html source that it will be far more efficient to clone the source rather than scraping it.

Actually, I don’t really run into nearly as much shills as haters.

The biggest clowns can be found in online comments though. (And yes, I deliberately include myself in that group)

I don’t think it’s as sinister as that. People just love their anti AI circlejerk.

What about the rest that is illegally acquired though?

Any chance? Yes.

Skill issue.

Yes, that’s the point, very astute of you. It takes time and knowledge to get good at stuff like this.

So… Let’s assume I don’t go around reading licenses for fun.

Can anyone explain to me what the major differences are between MIT and GPL?

I sincerely thank you for your honest and nuanced take, but I don’t fully agree on one thing - Even in this thread you can see people arguing that giving money to (or “having dinner with”) makes you equal to a nazi.

That is the part I object to, because by becoming so extremely polarising, it robs the word of all meaning. I might be too moderate for lemmy (I assure you I have voted leftwing parties for most of my adult life), but to me when I see someone described as a “literal nazi” nowadays I can’t help but wonder “internet nazi or actual nazi”?

So when I object to things like this, it’s because I fear for the damage this actually does to proper discourse, to fighting actual nazis. I don’t give a shit about Omarchy myself (I prefer debian based distros :p), but when someone describes it as “a distro for fascists”, you’re just alienating those users - 99% of whom are probably not even aware of the politically charged reasons behind it. It just feels like virtue signaling to me, and meanwhile only furthering the divide between people.

Again, I think it’s good people call 1password and the others out. But do so on the right basis, like: “What you’re doing is amplifying hate speech”, rather than “you are nazis”.

Peace.

(edit, that came or longer than I intended, my apologies)

I think xenophobic racist shitbag would be less ambiguous.

Try btop, it’s prettier and even includes gpu.

Yeah, like fighting actual nazis.

Not circlejerking on the Internet about millionaires or comparing the usage of a Linux distro to genocide.

Well, I chose to preserve that term to those who are more on the physical side of the spectrum - which, I do admit, David Hansson is crouching up close to.

But this bullshit about everyone who associates with him to whatever degree being just as bad (orcgirl was up to three, but if you follow the logic, it’s infinite) is absolutely devaluing the meaning of the word.

That, if anything, is helping the actual nazis just as badly.

And you guys used to be better at fighting actual problems.
