Open source is a thankless job and I think we've lost the plot on how we treat maintainers
"Sorry about that. We will issue a full refund."

GameRant Using AI to slander
The news blogs have not been kind to Palworld in general. The Verge posts headlines like "Pokemon rip-off Palworld removes features due to lawsuit they deserve to lose"

LTT does another Linux Challenge
He picked PopOS again?????
Look, I have nothing against people who prefer Pop. But the issue with Steam last time around gave me a very negative impression of it. A few months ago I organized a local Linux install party and tried giving it a chance. I could not get the damn thing to install, even after trying multiple ISOs. You can say "skill issue" but if you want a headache-free distro, which Linus very clearly does, my recommendation is to try something else. If Pop works for you, again, more power to you.

I'm in the process of setting one up right now.
If you're looking for easy, meetup.com probably is the way to go. Personally I'm leveraging the connections I made via a recent end of 10 install event I organized. My state also has a directory of LUGs that I got added to. Our first meeting is in January so we'll see how it goes 🤞

"If democrats want to make the vaccine free because it's 'life saving', why come they don't want to make cancer treatment free too???"

I'd much rather have a leader willing to admit when they don''t know something than one who pretends to know everything better than everyone in the room.

Why are so many Linux projects on Microsoft GitHub? Shouldn't they all move to Codeberg?
Reply in thread
Respectfully disagree. I can only speculate why other developers choose MIT. But for small and medium-sized projects, a more restrictive license is unlikely to protect them from this scenario anyway. And if that's true, one could argue it's better to go down a road where corporate sponsorships are potentially more likely.
Personally, I often choose MIT because I don't care who uses my code and for what, and I'd prefer that it be easy to borrow from. I used to be concerned about how my code was used, but over the years I've developed a strong dislike for copyright as a concept in general so I fight it how I can. Some of my projects are so simple that even MIT seems like overkill. In those cases I use the Unlicense.

An impossible choice
I'm getting $7,000,000,019. How? Well I take the $19 right now for starters. Then I spend the next 24 hours trying to think of a plan to secure the 7B as well.

What is an issue you had to deal with in the past but not anymore and what did you do to fix it?
I would accidentally push the panic button or trunk open button on my key fob. Took that sucker apart and tore those buttons off the board. I have never used the panic button intentionally. Car alarms are fucking pointless due to how widespread false alarms are.

Did you attend your high school reunion? Why or Why not?
Nope. I figured I wouldn't get invited due to not having a Facebook account and only staying in touch with two friends from HS. Even if I did get invited, I planned on ignoring it. There's no reason to go back to my hometown. I've moved on to bigger and better things and frankly don't see the point in looking backwards.
I was correct, did not receive an invite.

It's been 23 years and I still view my move from Velcro shoes to laces to be a complete and utter downgrade. And cursive is archaic.
