this could equally be headlined as

Macklemore is dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour over anti-genocide comments onstage"

I love Dosbox staging!

When I think of FOSS, and people who are seriously committed to a copyleft future, these names suddenly spring into my mind

• Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
• Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
• Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
• Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
• Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
• Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
• Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals

IDK why. Generosity, Linux, FLOSS, sharing, GPL… these terms all come to mind when those people’s names come up.

Oh wait, no it doesn’t.

it’s really sad that so man people lingered on this dogshit website after that fuckhead elon musk bought it

Called it. https://lemmy.ml/post/50384280/26832027

Sloppers love it when you do the hard work of maintaining a clean dataset for them to steal.

this framing is so stupid to me

An East Tennessee county commissioner sparked controversy after suggesting during a public workshop that Flock CEO Garret Langley should be hanged for treason.

Excuse me? The real controversy is the nation-wide surveillance network used to track everyone’s movements. The commissioner’s response seems to be very measured in light of that fact.

Not just tech bros. The execs at the company I work for were talking as early as 2025 about trying to get “LLM-optimized” search results, meaning we need to be in the training data and be at the top of the AI overview. It’s just SEO bullshit all over again. You don’t need big scary Russia to poison AI, our capitalist class will do it eagerly.

oh no not my precious LLMs please anything but my precious LLMs

no suspects

🤨

They’re doing “how millenials killed the fabric softener industry” (which still exists???) articles about gen z, now?

What will they say about gen alpha when their turn comes? That they killed the LLM industry because they aren’t using the overlord-prescribed quantity of slop?

speaking from experience, this is a very soul-crushing way of gaining “experience” to find a job, because the hiring manager will probably have no clue what it is or assume it’s BS, and will still just care more about job experience.

Century of Humilation… maybe finally some more peace in the world to go with it.

My “thing” is a Hercules movie from Mystery Science Theater 3000. Those movies are so low intensity, and I’ve fallen asleep to them hundreds of times over the past few years. I put a sleep timer on my ancient iPad on low brightness and low volume for 15m, and I’m usually asleep before time’s up.

If you really want to get into technical writing, you can try to study along with this free course. https://developers.google.com/tech-writing

Since memory is so expensive this is a huge boon to those who host Lemmy!

100% this.

If every software maker generalized the principle of unused ram is wasted ram, I would be allowed to keep only one program open on my computer. Because each application must consume all of it for… I don’t know. Showing me a webview of a text box that has a glowing ring for no reason or something stupid like that.

This isn’t even getting into how cache locality in memory is a performance consideration, or how every software maker is EXTERNALIZING their costs onto users, making us buy more capable hardware to keep up with their software.

All so I can do the same shit I did 10 years ago: send messages, view pictures and videos.

MIT and BSD are the corporate friendly licenses that say you can take my code and use it and even make it proprietary, as well. So long as you provide attribution, do whatever you want.

If that’s fine by you then choose that license. You can read little summaries here but be advised this page is owned by GitHub and they have an interest in seeing MIT and BSD adoption, so the language they use subtly reflects that IMO https://choosealicense.com/licenses/

Vibe bros LOVE their useless animations and effects. There is this one website I found for doing Regexes called openregex or something. And just having that page open with nothing else going on slams your GPU. It looks ugly as sin, too. And if you go to wayback machine and see when that page first was created it actually looked relatively normal and fine.
