  • Depending on your use case, maybe you should. If your use case is “using the internet today securely”, then you definitely should.

    I’m not trying to create a logical puzzle that teasing the right details out of will solve, I’m not even advocating for or against their decision, discord fuckin sucks shit and I can’t wait for element to continue to mature towards enough feature parity that a switch is seamless so that I can actually convince my friends to switch too, I’m reporting a reality of life on the internet today.


  • As someone who uses BSD licensed modified code at work and relies on it quite a lot, it’s crucial to me choosing which projects I’m able to use in the first place.

    Personally, I prefer a license that allows for commercial use in the way that companies need them to, and if my own work ever can provide a patch back upstream I’d be happy to do so, but most of what I do is just tweaking things that exist to suit my purposes which doesn’t really help anyone but my business rivals which I personally am not interested in doing if I don’t have to.

    I prefer to have the freedom to do as I wish with the code, as compared to being bound to do as the author wishes and essentially just not using that code in the first place because I can’t. I’m not in a position to change what I can and can’t do because of the requirements of the business I work for, and I’m grateful to those that choose licenses that allow me to use their work.

    They’re creating a new browser because they want to. It started as an OS building project that the lead dev did to help stay sober.

    They use discord because it’s popular. Insert Ouroborus argument here, and at the end of the day it’s still the most popular app.













  • I think that I understand what you mean, but what you said was kinda obvious, and also not particularly useful to the overall conversation.

    I think you mean “don’t give OpenAI access to your personal data”, which I personally agree with.

    I read what you wrote as being analogous to a patient coming in to a doctor and saying “It hurts when I do this” only to have the doctor say “well, don’t do that then”.

    Considering the company’s garbage history with treating our data with any real respect, I would also recommend strongly against giving them more information about yourself or your works. I also think that the people that have decided against that advice to use these plugins should be made aware of the issue with them and that also OpenAI should fix them promptly.






  • Hey, as someone who has a job installing and configuring and training independent stores with the NCR version, thank you for your basic ability to recognize cause and effect.

    Genuinely, the number of people that hold something in their hands after scanning it and see and hear the thing telling them to put it down multiple times and then get mad because it won’t let them keep going while it is explicitly saying out loud to place the item down really makes me wonder about us as a species.

    Like, I know that’s not how Walmart does it, because they turned off security as a consequence of only paying vendors on scan data. If a cart full of stuff goes out the door at Walmart, for the most part Walmart doesn’t pay for it either. Everyone else in the world needs to have some assurance against theft.

    Anyways, have one person hand the other person stuff from the cart and the other person both scan and bag everything and you should get things done a bit quicker.

    Edit: I know that traditionally, asking “wHy DoWnVoTe” is kinda a deathknell for the poster, but I am actually 100% open to hearing the criticism to this comment.
