Since there’s one open source that’s more strict and one that’s more permissive, for the more strict one, we should indicate that it’s like the value of a variable: it has a specific meaning that doesn’t change. With that understanding, Rogue Legacy is open source, but Trisquel is “open source”.

(I was going to go with Tux Kart instead of Trisquel for that joke, but my heart couldn’t handle throwing shade at Tux Kart.)

Edit: I’d just like to interject for a moment. What I’m referring to as Tux Kart, is in fact, SuperTuxKart, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Super+TuxKart

Vim wasn't invented, it spawned fully written and tested at the moment creation came into existence

That's why vi is already installed on every Linux system

Wtf is this bullshit. When tf did vim start allowing you to do the same thing in more than one way

You're right, I'll concede that -- but only because BSG is an amazing show and very few characters can be reduced to "good" and "bad" -- even the "antagonists" (in the traditional sense of those characters working against the stories' progression) have pretty valid reasons for doing what they do.

Gaius (sp?) is one of the closest characters to "bad" -- but not because of the bad things he does, but because of the bad things he is -- ie, vain, selfish, etc -- and the fact that he lets those negative characteristics drive his actions.

All the characters have flaws, but the "good" characters do their best to mitigate their flaws, and let their positive traits motivate them. For example, Adama often acts before he thinks, a trait that is awesome in combat, but can be less positive other times -- and he (as best he can) seeks advice and counsel from the people he trusts (eg Saul Tigh) -- he knows he can be impulsive and he knows his "instant judgement" decision making isn't perfect.

Cavil (that's his name I think) is close to "evil" but he does have reasons for his actions -- preservation of his "species" (though really it's just himself) -- but he's evil because of the fact that he doesn't listen and acts with disloyalty and dishonor.

(There's an amazing comeuppance for the titular character of the show Nathan Barley that epitomizes this idea: Barley doesn't actually do anything wrong, but his motivations are repugnant, and his motivations are what's revealed... Shit I should write a whole essay on that....)

Are there contemporary shows that are as good as BSG? I kind of gave up on TV after Firefly.

Yeah, they're probably using the increased power -- they weren't running 3 instances of stable diffusion on the m1

Check out iBroadcast -- it's like the old Google Music, upload your own stuff, play it wherever.

To the moon!!!

That's true, you can't really miss what's happening with a dark mode switch -- it's not like it's a "charge me $50 extra for insurance on my shredded wheat" button.

The theme selector tho -- while rare -- IDK, that doesn't have have text -- it probably should, for the same if a11y, but you can indicate the theme with an image; the one I made for a project recently uses the image itself on the button.

Voting with your wallet is literally plutocracy -- those with more dollars get more votes.

Not only is our theoretically bad, but it's practically bad: the impact of a boycott is negligible, but the impact on the people doing the boycott is huge: not having access to the conveniences everyone else has puts us at a significant disadvantage compared to our peers.

And finally, it's not just practically bad, it's actually contraindicated. The executives of a corporation are legally required to maximize immediate returns to their investors. It's literally illegal for a CEO to move a company in the direction of civic responsibility over profit. And it's not just "profit" -- it has to be increasing profit. Line has to go up; they can't just keep it flat, even if "flat" is hugely profitable. To withdraw our financial support will just cause them to squeeze harder on everyone else.

(There's an argument that there might be more profit in social responsibility, but unless you have numbers to back that up, and it demonstrates immediate returns in addition to long term benefits, then it's just a guess, and a guess is never going to be more convincing to shareholders than facts.)

The only way to change this is with regulation, and a cultural shift away from "line goes up" mentality. And you can't effect political change when you're spend 3x as long making dinner because you're boycotting processed food.

Suggesting that we just give up all the conveniences that our labor, our creativity, and our cultural contributions have enabled, for the sake of convincing a CEO to be nicer is just ineffectual.

No, I use ibroadcast, and they have an adequate free tier.

Like I said, I've never actually used Spotify - I was just taking about subscription models generally. That person said how was it a rug pull off you saw it coming and while I can't speak to Spotify specially I can speak to the current state of rug pulls.

That's great that they worked for you, but there are a few songs I always used to search for when music services popped up - a few obscure things I like - and they didn't have them. I have broad tastes but they're almost all obscure.

This for sure. At work (fe dev), I need to get things done quickly and reliably, so I use Svelte. At home, I'm just playing around, so I'll try things that are out of my wheelhouse or strange, eg rn I'm rebuilding the site I always rebuild in Qwik, Go, and Surrealdb - why? Because they seem neat. (Though I might just rm rf that to build something on Bun, because is there anything is can't do?)
