  • No, Gumroad Did Not Become Open Source Today

  • Again, these puritan open source defenders. "It's not open source if $bibleQuote". "Just call it source available". And all the other arguments.

    From what I gather, the licence is still in the spirit of open source, just not to the letter. It doesn't want large businesses taking the code , making a competitor and nor contributing back.

    These open source defenders do not care about developers and their lives. They just want the code be released in a manner that respects their bible, to the letter.

  • There's no need to give more money to the MAGA crowd. Plus, Proton only have opensource clients, not opensource servers.

  • On regular x86 laptops, this mapping is already present in the UEFI firmware, described as ACPI tables. ACPI, which stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, is an open standard that some firmware implementations use to advertise the devices that are part of the system to the operating system through a key-value data structure called “ACPI tables”. At boot, when the operating system detects ACPI tables, it reads them to enumerate the hardware devices and allow the various drivers and kernel modules to interact with all compatible discovered devices.

    Why doesn't Quallcomm have this? Seems like a major oversight. Kinda weird that they don't have ACPI. It's an open standard...

  • The joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn't that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.

    It do be like that

  • I've been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).

    This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I'm also just a recluse 🤷

  • Are Linux Phones Ready in 2025?

    Jump

  • It took me a while to find, but the newest, best supported phones on the device list are

    • PINE64 PinePhone Pro (2021)
    • Fairphone 4 (2021) (partial call support)
    • PINE64 PinePhone (2020)
    • Purism Librem 5 (2020)
    • SHIFT SHIFT6mq (2020)

    The pixel 3a is not well supported and has problems with wifi, battery, audio, camera, calls, and NFC, so IMO don't base your impression of PostmarketOS on the pixel3a.

  • 21-year old dev destroys LeetCode, gets kicked out of school... - YouTube

    Jump

  • Companies are already resisting because they can't figure out a good way to interview people. "We tried nothing and are all out of ideas". Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.

    Bro... why do opensource projects love proprietary collaboration platforms so much?

  • Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries

    Jump

  • That's a good point. Using alternative DNS servers and alternative TLDs might be useful until they cotton on. It could even stress OpenNIC 🤔

    I2P could be better.

  • Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries

    Jump

  • Maybe these open source sites should move off the public internet and use alternative DNS servers with signup and alternative TLDs. Something like OpenNIC, but with signup. Or go straight to darknets like TOR and I2P. Maybe I2P would be better as it's slower and crawlers would probably timeout just trying to access content.

  • They are learning from the US mega corps: if you're popular, open source your framework and it'll attract talent just by virtue of you being popular, regardless of merit.

    They have entered the battle...
