  • Last time I went round with someone on this, they insisted that this is just normal business procedure to order product on credit.

    To me, while trade credit is definitely a thing, for orders this large I expect there’s some more substantial backing for it.

    Ultimately it probably fits in somewhere on a chart of financial shenanigans like this one:

  • I think it’s more like “we need 6 million chips for this year, and we’ll pay you eventually, maybe”.

    But yeah the outcome is the same.

  • I don't get it

  • Yeah but no one wants to deal with that “as long as they’re within the rules” for you.

    Rules and strategy are very separate things when teaching.

  • That’s complete bullshit:

    Software I’ve written is owned by me.

    Open-source licenses (F/LOSS) mostly cannot be revoked.

    Public domain exists.

  • [META] Fuck ads: I recommend adding a rule to ban watermarked comics here

    Jump

  • Ah, I meant in the comics themselves. If they want to “advertise” on their page or whatever, more power to them.

    This is what I see when I look at warandpeas.com — there’s the name of the comic but nothing that I would call a watermark or an advertisement.

    Jump

  • I don’t agree. I just want to know who made the art. Attribution is not the same as advertising.

    A Patreon link or a watermark I could see as advertising, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that directly on a comic image.

    Do you have some actual examples?

  • Do you have some examples of “ads” or watermarks in comics?

    IMO artist signatures/names or comic titles are not ads.

  • I think you might be thinking of databases… Access (barf), not Excel.

    I do think databases and tables are a useful thing but most database systems require over-specifying fields via esoteric “column types” while spreadsheets underspecify them via formatting (and extremely limited formatting at that)

    Some happy medium must exist out there, but I haven’t seen it. Notion and Google Docs (Format /Convert to Table) approach this but don’t quite get there.

  • The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 text mentions the TSA on 2 occasions, 1 of which recommends that "The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) be privatized" (Page 134, Bullet Point 4)

  • There are plenty of crowded places to bomb or shoot up.

    Like say airport security lines?

  • Trust me bro!

  • FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”

    Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.

    It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”

  • It’s not obvious that it has “settled” rather than continuing to decline.

  • Nice.

  • Have you ever found accounts that only downvote?

  • So tempting to downvote this post and all its comments ;-)

  • Most vehicles have a fuel tank capacity to give about 300-400 miles range.

    Who is driving 600-800 miles every week? That is insane.
