to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .
both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .
both Microsoft office and open/libre office files are zip files containing mostly XML so its not that bad actually , as long as you expose the files inside to git
LMMS isn’t really a DAW, as it can’t really manipulate audio easily, only midi.
IIRC it can use audio files as instruments though I never used that feature so idk how limited it is , I believe other DAWs can import audio more directly
I once deleted /usr/bin
while trying to delete /bin
(symbolic link) because I accidentally misformed it . don’t remember why I had to recreate /bin
in the first place but it had something to do with installing java
sooooo you’re saying mountains are gay ?
Not the video you talked about , but I felt like its related to your last paragraph : How League of Legends Uses Abuse to Keep You Playing | That Jess . While she focuses more on other pieces of moderation than anticheat , she shows how LoLs developers are incentivized to not give a fuck and that they do , in fact , not give a fuck .
You might also find The CS2 Cheater Problem Has Gotten Goofy | TheWarOwl , which talks about Valve’s failures to provide integrity , even despite , though he also says its a symptom of these failures , third party anticheat systems .
I’ll also add that AI anticheat is not a silver bullet , it also requires upkeep which can be more expensive than classical anticheat systems .
I cannot read this as girls into crystals / girls into geology but my brain always interprets it as in girls who are (made of) crystal / girls who are (made of) geology
And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing.
this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD
on the second of December 2009 a russian student died after chewing gum exploded in his mouth . he had a habit of dipping chewing gum in citric acid , however this time he accidentally used an unidentified explosive powder four times more powerfull than TNT which he had for home chemistry related reasons . his name was Vladimir Likhono

pretty sure that there are actually people who do believe the earth is flat
but yeah AFAIK the model that most flat earthers use does not allow for either lunar nor solar eclipses , requiring a fourth object to cause the effect
yeah but using mb/mB instead of M(i)b/M(i)B is a factor of 1 000 000 / 1 024 000 which is more than six magnitudes greater than 8
ah , for context I’m Lily
I mean we are throwing accuracy out the window by using milli anyway so who the hell cares , at this point I’m afraid people are using “m” to mean JEDEC mega , ie per IEC mebi (“Mi”) , not even mentioning how stupid using the “p” infix looks when surrounded by SI or SI adjacent units
please fucking capitalise units properly , the most valid interpretation of “mbps” is millibit picosecond which is invalid anyway (should be femtobit second or fb s) and also not a unit of any kind of speed , not that you are asking about speed but likely bandwidth , but also in this specific case , ignoring that you use this stupid per construct , leaving it to interpretation which letter is meant to be capitalised and which lower case leaves megabits per second (Mb s^(-1)) and megabytes per second (MB s^(-1)) (of course milibits per second and milibytes per second are also units of bandwidth) , and also because bits and bytes are involved , are you using the mega- prefix per SI or , I would argue incorrectly , per JEDEC (as in 1 KB = 1024 B ) , I don’t know because you have shown a complete disregard for units and all they represent , for everyone who takes the time to understand , learn and properly use prefixes to convey a specific meaning , in a way that cannot be misinterpreted . You may not think this is important because “oh Lily you understood me anyway” and ? you have shown a complete disregard for all that anyone with a computer science degree should stand for , shown no intention to properly understand how the more and more computerised would around us works and for what ? so that your fingers can use a few less calories , putting of the heat death of the universe by an unimaginably irrelevant amount , which you will unknowingly spend anyway when you hear a bird sing across the road , is that really worth it to you ?
to be fair I can’t imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy … checks ah never mind mind
One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.
- Gabe Newell , as quoted by gamesradar
BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :
honestly I don’t even know how to interpret ~11.5 μg b/s (micro gram bits per second).
Seriously I get not liking capital letters , but like ESPECIALLY in this case (as ~11.5 b/s and ~11.5 B/s are about as reasonable) , capitalize your units ! also differentiate between GiB (gigi bits) and GB (giga bits).
to be fair , because g and b are not separated by a space , “×” or “•” , g should be interpreted as a prefix , according to SI rules , but its not something most people know about and g is not a valid SI prefix .
decided to check : mandelbrot can be compressed by 87.5% by gzip on maximum compression strength

it doesn’t seem like Micay had feuds previous to 2019 with Mozilla , though I was unable to find what he is referring to unfortunately .
