What does BLOB stand for?

what’s underage for hrt? like… 12?

The conversation was not originally about OSD; I had just mentioned it.

You do too by using the term FOSS instead of FLOSS

Touchée. But FLOSS the term only emphasises even more: there’s open source software, and then there’s free/libre open source software – note the distinction.

If this were true, we wouldn’t need the term “FOSS.”

You’re talking about the OSD presumably. Stallman’s definition differs, and I think his terminology seems to be widely used.

U.S. vehicles currently emit 2 billion tons. So that’s very bad news.

However – I think 2030 is waaay too far in the future to predict anything about AI.

I usually use open source to mean open source and free as in lunch, but in this case I assume kovarex is talking about open source but commercial and restrictively licensed. I could be wrong.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the source code of the Java version open for modding?

YouTube has a network effect monopoly as well. Who would use a competing service?

I do find the steam deck is kind of buggy, at least for my use cases (usually docked, mostly used for emulation, and so on). But I’m thrilled that it exists, so I’m trying to support it as much as possible.

The most effective thing to do as consumers is to encourage other people not to use google products. The best way to do that is to foment outrage at Google.

Does anyone have a (link to a) good summary of the ruling and rationale?

I find the idea that “Google is the only real choice” kind of odd. There are other perfectly functional and user-friendly search engines. It’s not like other monopolies, say, Youtube, where there’s no realistic alternative. (I’m not denying that search is a monopoly too.)

“The platform formerly known as Twitter”?

It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t the fact that he’s trying to lay claim to 1/26th of the English alphabet

The full title on close parsing doesn’t make sense in xorg context. But “X kills its <unix os> app” initially had my brain trying to figure out what people were running X on mac.

Please call it Twitter in the title unless there’s a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

commenter is talking about operating systems. You realize there are other comments here too, right?

There are many practical uses, and more to be discovered, but I think most of them won’t be user-facing.

the high seas have a comment section?

Ok then it’s a more easy to use GIMP.

Yeah I mean it’s just a more easy to use Photoshop basically.

I agree people need to understand better the privacy risks of social media.

When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them.

Expect, yeah I guess. Doesn’t mean we should tolerate it. I expect murder to happen on a daily basis. People editing images of me on their own devices and keeping that to themself, that’s their business. But if they edit photos of me and proliferate, I think it becomes my business. Fortunately, there are no photos of me on the internet.

Edit: I basically agree with you regarding text content. I’m not sure why I feel different about images of me. Maybe because it’s a fingerprint. I don’t mind so much people editing pictures I post that don’t include my face. Hmm.

Yeah, they could have applied a logarithm or something.
