@drewdevault Arguably it was: commercial use of the internet was banned until 1991 (retvrn, etc)

@drewdevault Usually, I think the same, but seeing just how out of proportion the press blows some studies that don't really do more than hint that something should be studied more, makes me wonder.

@drewdevault

@drewdevault This feels like you're invoking Cunningham's law to get game recommendations

@drewdevault Which are your preferences? NDS has a vast catalog and I'm sure there will be some you'll enjoy. Some of my favorites:
* Ghost Trick
* Nine Doors, Nine Persons, Nine Hours
* The 3 Castlevania games (plus the 3 for GBA that play nicely on the NDS).

@afif He's absolutely right about everything he says in this. Except for one thing.

If Trump wins, there won't be any more elections. Israel will have carte blanche for wholesale genocide, in daylight, with gas chambers.

Abstaining, voting 3rd party or voting for Trump all have the same effect.

I will be voting for Biden on the least-worst principle.

@afif

No thank you.

@drewdevault Sometimes buying is easier than renting in NL. Especially it you're self-employed. You can get mortgages for up to 100% of the property value.

@drewdevault yknow.. U can rent a few square centimeters of my heart AND fuck me~

(My yearning lesbian ass trying to flirt with the hot radically left fedi grils)

@drewdevault Yes, I concur.

@drewdevault They're probably busy figuring out the 34 billion invoice: https://wjactv.com/news/local/pennsylvania-man-receives-34-billion-tax-bill-irs-investigating-taxes-money-revenue-error

@drewdevault sounds like the perfect excuse for someone to rewrite its features from scratch :blobcatderpy:

@drewdevault I tried to solve the issue where the click event of gtk-layer-shell would be triggered repeatedly, but then I found varxy introduced a bunch of inexplicable special conditions in order to try to solve this problem, but in the end he did not completely handle the click and release events :ablobtoiletflush:

@drewdevault alright I have to ask: how terrible is it

@PsyChuan lol where?

@wolfie @PsyChuan How 4/20 is Nazi?

Isn't it related to marijuana recreational use?

@PsyChuan если доначу на каком-нибудь эфире - часто доначу 1488 рублей. Считаю это забавным. Национал-социалистические идеи не поддерживаю, если что :)

@wolfie

@drewdevault

Preach it, brother, preach it! Means sanctify the ends!

#ruleOfLaw

@drewdevault yes.

@drewdevault Teef!

@drewdevault agreed

@drewdevault I've also been a happy enough customer of gandi for many, many years. I'm sure they have their problems, but I have this far been blissfully unaware of them. Note that I only use them as registrar, not for DNS hosting.

@drewdevault I’ve been fairly happy with namecheap, are there any controversies there I should be aware of? 🤔

I’ve also heard good things about NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, which might be a fine option?

@drewdevault they all suck. Porkbun is often recommended. I've not had problems with them.

not to give it to cogent or anything, i just want cake and think it'd be funny to recreate the peering dispute cake

@alyx

at this point, that cake is old enough to be in high school and cogent is still not peering. sigh...

@alyx the way I would eat it

@drewdevault Casually showing off your Mew. Nice flex.

Bonus points if anyone can identify which version of Pokemon this is

@drewdevault yellow

@drewdevault Writing in C?

@drewdevault yeah, do print out a screenshot, in 30 years you will still be thinking about "I needed a break from Real Work" ;)

@drewdevault
Is this separate from Helios?

@scottfgray@dice.camp ​:ElainaXD:​

@scottfgray It's crazy how people don't understand that AI is a tool, not a "get out of work" free card.

I use chatgpt for helping me in programming when I get stuck, but I don't just copy and paste code from it or tell it "Write me the whole program" lol

@scottfgray
This is so relatable. I have noticed this too when working with AI that they are sometimes just completely incapable of modifying an exiting piece. They get stuck with something and when I ask it to just modify it, it'll just come back 95% same but with a change I did not ask for. It's just frustrating to use.

@drewdevault The CDDL restricts me from mixing to code with GPL'd code. I really don't see a way to frame this as an obligation.

@drewdevault using the term "restrictive" for copyleft licenses/Free Software Licenses is something straight out of "newspeak".

Since when is assuring that everyone has the same rights and obligations "restrictive"?

@drewdevault this is gold

> Take a moment here to entertain the supposition that nuclear warheads are legally obliged to include a copy of the MIT license, if they incorporate MIT licensed code in their guidance systems, on board, as they are “distributing” that software to the, err, recipients. As it were. 

Permissive licenses posit that freedom comes from having relatively few obligations; copyleft posits that freedom is a guarantee of rights.

Neither approach is "restrictive", and the latter is more free by any reasonable definition of freedom.

@drewdevault

"People rail about their "rights" without understanding that every right carries responsibilities that need to be observed too, not least of which is to respect others' rights as you would have them respect your own." -- Gene Spafford, 1993 (about Usenet etiquette, not about free software)
