Time to uninstall krita (/s)
Is it about Krita being on steam not for free?
If I’d use krita on regular basis I’d be happy to support the devs. Also, the license is the same as always - it’s open source.

Linux for my friend
Naah, let them. People use Ubuntu Studio with success to run their audio software. What is more important: you disliking Canonical, or them being able to run the software they need?

Why isn't using a key file the most common way to log into self-hosted servers?
Congratulations, now your „password” (the 512-byte random key file) is stored as plaintext on your machine :)
With rate-limiting, non-trivial passwords are not viable to be brute-forced, so making them larger just doesn’t give you much.

Some countries have pretty strict laws about not promoting Nazi ideology - by pushing that notifications it would probably be breaking that law.

If Creators Suing AI Companies Over Copyright Win, It Will Further Entrench Big Tech
It is missing one point: as a creator, I want to be able to forbid you from training on my creations. And the only tool that could enable that is the copyright enforcement over AI training.

Which stage are you at?
It should be called „me being patronising to other people”. Kinda „I am so smart” material.

Dealing with YOLO Vibelord colleagues
Explain to your manager that if an employee can merge code without reviews, he should expect breakages on regular basis.
Propose that your team can meet to talk about how to make the process better, so no breakages occur.
Mention personal responsibility and knowledge - it’s a good practice that a person who wrote the latest code changes either helps either is responsible for making the service working again, if there are issues - specifically because they might have some idea what’s broken.
If your manager will ignore it, I’d start looking.

Microsoft Tried To Steal A Project And Almost Got Away With It....
Reply in thread
Stolen? It was forked as is allowed by the MIT license. With GPL as well there is no „you cannot fork” rule, you can do exactly the same thing. The author misunderstood that „you have to push the changes to upstream”, which is not in any of those licenses.

Not sure what is hard in it - you need consistent tagging, and that by itself gives you a lot of mileage in cost explorer.

The Lack of Compensation in Open Source Software is Unsustainable
OP wanted a fun child project, but it's not fun anymore, just responsibilities.
The problem I see is just a difference between expectations and reality.
Expectations were: it would be fun to give people something for free, create open source, be part of some community. Maybe even get some recognition, maybe better job offers.
Reality is: noone cares about your open source project enough to pay for it.
And such is life. Noone stops you from just stopping working on it, and that's an adult option. All open source licences have a clause like "I don't own you nothing", and maybe that's the moment to use it.

What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you?
MacBook: I use two screens and I constantly move the bottom bar between them by accident. The only built-in way to override that is to fix both screens as the same workspace, but this means any time you use fullscreen, the other screen also switches to "another" workspace.

Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?

Any non-falsifiable theory is only worth so much.

I’m a strict naturalist - I believe that supernatural phenomena do not exist. I do not believe in the unknown.

Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good

Macs are pretty solid for coding. You don't need to tinker with them, most of the time stuff just works. On the other hand, I spent lots of time to make sure stuff just works well on my Dell or ThinkPad with Ubuntu or pop.
For software, I've found that some software doesn't give you much help if you get into problems on Linux.
And there is always something with Linux that doesn't work for me. Like my Dell laptop with pop!os doesn't charge over usb-C from Dell monitor (it worked on windows). Touchscreen doesn't always work after waking up. I had ThinkPad with awful fan control on linux and hibernation issues. I had issues with scaling with external screens.

Well...
This exact type of magical thinking is what I find the most depressing about heavy believers of any religion (or astrology, pseudoscience, etc).
