My favorite is when racists say “We’ve had a black president so we can’t be a nation of racists.”
Like…somehow having a black president now makes it okay for all of the shit conservatives want to do.

Fwiw, the cheap olive oil is really good for mayo you make yourself. EVOO should be used for things like salads and bread, where the taste makes the difference.
If you want oil in a pan, cheap stuff works just fine…only you have to be careful because olive oil in the states isn’t always olive oil.
You’d think it should be less expensive.
But then you’re not thinking of increasing shareholder value.
How dare you!
Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.
Oh fuck off!
Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.
A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.
Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.
I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.
I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.
The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?
What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.
I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.
It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you’re using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn’t pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.
Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.
As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don’t use it for my own software, unless I really don’t care for it.
Why do you have so many porn tabs open?
I always liked Barney Stimson’s advice on running a marathon.
Step 1: start running
Step 2: there is no step two
This! Some discomfort is to be expected but it shouldn’t hurt. It should be a good “pain” like it feels good afterwards not a “I really regret all the things” pain.
Hot damn good for you!
Keep us updated! I don’t think lemmy has a remindme bot but I’m saving this comment.
But they can’t just “restore” the property, it was full of mature native trees/plants and for bulldozed.
Oh God…tree law…I never realized how much I missed this.
As much as I’d like to believe that SCOTUS will honor separation between state and federal, I simply do not trust our current justices. I fully expect them to say, “Nah…it’s totes cool for Trump, and only Trump, to commit crimes.”
If it’s for software you like, yes. Lemmy apps are a great example of this.
A lifetime license isn’t going to sustain the dev long term. If you like the app, buy a monthly subscription that gives them predictable income every month. Do a year if you feel confident about it. But honestly monthly is probably best.
For shitty corporate apps like Adobe, pirate that shit.
Yup. Never ever buy lifetime licenses.
Even on software you love. Especially for software you love.
I second the Spy Museum as well as the Smithsonians.
The Newseum was also a great museum but it has been closed.
I could imagine an Oppenheimer situation where he deeply regretted what he had created.
But I highly suspect this was more of a case of “don’t look deeply into my past”, which, is quite ironic given what he did.
Iirc the way that blind works is by verifying you work at a specific company but then that email address cannot be used again.
It’s not associated with your specific account.
Someone who worked at blind explained that but there’s no way to know this for sure.
Anyone else remember Memory Commander?
I suspect that all this program did was push stuff to the hard drive or faked how much free RAM you had to games.
Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.
Good for you!
