Lol as if these generations are doing anything different than they were doing before. Kids have always lied about their age to do adult things. Not saying it’s healthy, just like it wasn’t healthy for kids to get their older brother to buy cigs, but it’s not a unique problem and these generations are far from a “lost cause”.

As unenforcable as they’ve always been, and honestly I prefer it that way. Really don’t want to give my ID to random websites.

I remember getting in trouble in preschool for wondering aloud how you spell “bitch.” Timeout wasn’t even the worst part; they ruined all my markers ;(

Good luck! The journey may be tough but I believe you will make it.

Honestly who cares if he wears a diaper? Nothing wrong with that, he’d be a terrible person with or without it.

Need one of those geoguesser guys to figure out where this is

According to Samsung SDI’s VP, automakers are interested in its solid-state battery packs because they are smaller, lighter, and much safer than what’s in current electric cars. Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the “super premium” EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.

Apparently not, though this is all marketing speak

I’ve installed Mint on pretty much any old machine I can get my hands on. Right now I’m using it with KDE as my daily driver and couldn’t be happier.

I’d say for most people coming from windows, there’s little in the way of expected functionality that would be included in other distros.

I love Kingdom Hearts dearly (beloved) and will be the first to tell you that it makes no god damned sense. I love the characters and many of the themes so much that it hurts to see them get so misused.

Imagine how many people could be debt free with a fraction of that…

Even if I was using that money entirely selfishly I could come up with so many better things to do.

Ah, spent so many hours of my youth on albinoblacksheep. My first introduction to Lemon Demon among many other things.

I think the rub here is that most developers aren’t developing/publishing their own software, but honing their skills on writing proprietary code while also putting food on the table. To that end, a permissively licensed library is better because the company will actually use it and the developer will gain experience with it that they can then use outside of the proprietary environment to contribute to FOSS projects (some of which may well use GPL). If a GPL end user product gets popular enough, it will eventually be able to use all of that gained experience to compete with the propriety alternatives, so I do think the two can work in tandem.

Indeed, I think it’s just two philosophies that don’t necessarily need to be at odds. Permissive licenses help speed the adoption of languages and libraries, which ultimately feeds into the slowly building momentum of the copyleft projects that use them.

Oh yes absolutely, there are bots constantly crawling any open source code. A friend of mine accidentally leaked their discord API key, nuked a whole server within minutes.

He was actually a pretty cool dude.

[Harvey Ball] never applied for a trademark for the iconic smiley image and only earned $45 for his efforts. Ball later founded the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation in 1999, a non-profit charitable trust that supports children’s causes.

Even the stress of worrying about money. Yeah you can take out a loan for your risky business venture when you know you won’t have to worry about paying it back. Yeah, you can couch surf for a while when you aren’t staring down the next few decades of your life.

I try to leave comments when I figure something out, especially when the thread is a top Google result. It’s like leaving one of those little rock piles for others to find.

Unfortunately Reddit is still an incredibly useful archive of advice and help, and I care more about helping some poor soul avoid hours of frustration than chipping a spec of dust off of some training dataset.

The problem is that a lot of users aren’t building a new machine for Linux, but converting an existing Windows laptop or desktop. In my case, I’d already bought an Nvidia card about a year before I decided to switch to Linux for gaming. Not ideal, of course, but it work a good 95% of the time and I can’t really afford to get a different card right now. I’ll definitely keep it in mind for my next pc upgrade, though.
