That’s called a job buddy. There’s no way I’d be using windows otherwise.

I’m old school so I only have a few epubs. I want to conserve my battery. Epubs will make it last a day, videos and audios will drain it. And of course using Internet drains it too.

I just download a few on my phone before I travel.

That’s actually what I think of as how the open source works. It’s not that millions of people are working for you to have things all the time. It’s just that instead of making something and letting it be lost in some hard drive they share it. If something has enough interest, use value, and passion from the creator then the work will continue.

Some programs with heavy industry use, or a passionate user base will be successful, but even the niche small programs are there so if someone wants to continue the work they can.

Vs the same little programs from companies that are not open source will be just lost, you can’t get the source and continue even if you want to. Even they will discard the source, or the guy that worked on it will be gone and noone knows anything.

So appreciate open source, even if it doesn’t work for all the cases, it is better because it can continue, the effort isn’t lost. Open source licenses don’t promise future maintenance, they are just available as they are

I honestly think this is one of the reasons AI is so popular with people. We didn’t notice because we have been using ddg, and adblocks. But searching for things in google, and finding any decent sites that’s related and not shoving down ads all over the screen is hard to find.

Then people found something where they just search/ask things and get answers without any of the hassle. If you don’t care about the source, or want to check multiple views then you have what you want. Specially because I think lot of people seem to use google to just find what they already have bias towards.

That’s what I heard and it made sense. You didn’t want the developer or tester to have to progress normally to test things.

But I guess now we have better debug tools, and release builds vs debug builds. Because resource isn’t a problem and we can insert all those extra info on debug build

No one is saying parking lot is a lot of area of the earth. It’s a lot of area of a city.

Cities and areas human live in is very small part of the overall land we have available, because we need a lot more resources than just a house to live in. Even in tribal areas the buildings take barely any land compared to the area they use for agriculture, hunting and things.

The main problem with parking lot is the amount of space it takes within the area we live in, specially for any place people gather in. Making the places people want to gather even more isolated because of it.

Interviews actually cost the company. They have to pay those people interviewing you, and not working for clients at that time. That’s why I don’t see many applications going to interview phase at all. Most applications are just filtered by AI, or some HR and it never goes to the actual hiring manager. And they don’t interview unless they are pretty sure about wanting to hire the candidate. At least the companies without ghost jobs do that.

But HR only interviews are probably different, they might do interviews to justify their job.

So non cult people can’t pass laws to ban a cult

Sure, but the compute isn’t free. Our brains are way more optimized than anything else we can build. And it’s not even accurate enough for most tasks it is being used/advertised for.

And all the data centers they are building is taking away the energy and water we allocated for human use, we don’t have infinite resources.

And it’s important to remember, when everyone thought slavery was all good because it’s free labor, it cost government a lot of money to remove it because they had to pay the slave owners compensation. That’s disregarding the human rights and plethora of problems.

For “I’m fiscally right” people, your money will go towards all these extravaganza when it inevitably doesn’t bring back the money expended on it.

Yeah, I just say I can’t watch this video when someone sends me a link. It does make you less social though. People just think you’re weird, people with “I have nothing to hide” mentality is so common. And people that say “I don’t care about politics”, or “we don’t discuss politics here” in friend groups, and start excluding you because you speak on these things.

Cheap?

Very, and even people that don’t make it about god, somehow don’t like that I am not religious.

And what about all the children with cancer that were in there getting treatment with you?

I’ll say it as much as I can. Tax business, on profit not individuals on their salary. Salary comes from a business paying you, they have accountants, they can pay taxes.

And when you tax profits, they have the incentive to reinvest in the company, either by hiring more people, or building things, or spending money on research. Instead of giving record profits to shareholders.

Of course you can have small businesses below certain employee numbers exempt or something like that to help new businesses.

This of course means you can’t hand out “government help” by just taking less taxes from people already making money, and have to install give real help to people in need irrespective of their salary.

And of course there might be some details that should be added to make it good.

This. After leaving Reddit I feel like I lost a place I could post about my little foss app and get people to try it. Specially in the niche topics.

I am trying my best to get people I know try but they don’t understand the domain, and I don’t have a reach to people that will understand

This is what I really want

I recently read it in a book. It was used for an evolved human form. That was my first time seeing it other than programming too

Yeah, I really like it. But I also started with it because my university at that time only taught open source apps, and later on other universities did Arc but I just did the same thing in QGIS. But when you’re starting it might be a little of an adjustment.

They also just released v4.0 with full migration to qt6, I haven’t tested it out that well yet.

Btw I am currently working on a programming language that uses custom syntax to do fun analysis related to networks (directed graphs). And I have a GIS support for reading/writing network and attributes. I made it for rivers first, but I’m expanding to all directed graph. I’ve a mix of Computer and Geosciences background so I had fun doing something in the middle that most people don’t.

Edit: I am looking for people to try it out, but I have problem finding people that want to code in a new language, and for network related tasks.
