Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

It's called git. It's been distributed from day 1. GitHub was an attempt to centralize it.

My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).

The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.

Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.

Seamless sleep on close and wake up on open. Macs still does it best, but Linux it's an adventure each time.

I was elected to lead, not to read.

There is one big caveat to universal time:

Future dates: If you use utc here and a time zone definition changes, you're boned. You have to store local time and offset for just this one usecase.

I believe in the death of the author. This helps me separate the art and the artist.

Bad people do good things and not everyone can be judged by their worst acts.

I wouldn't pay for any of his art anymore, but I still enjoy the songs I have already without guilt.

The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can't hope to make a new one from scratch.

The last "new" browser engine (that wasn't built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla "ran out of money" (they depend on Google for their existence), and it's already rotting.

Enough people leave an the rest will strengthen their majority. No politician is going to care unless it costs them power.

Talking about tech startups:

Depends on the startup. If they have a good team, they might get acqui-hired. If they have any patents or other IP, they might get acquired (for not much). Investors get the bulk of these types of exits, and the founders and employees get screwed.

If the startup doesn't even have that, they may just wrap up the operation and go out of business.

Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don't have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don't need a $2000 top of the line phone.

An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I'm probably going to call opulence.

Skinner meme:

Should I learn to budget my money?

No, it's earning money that's wrong.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt, it was really quite hypnotic.

They talk amongst themselves about how shit the code is.

I never figured out why, but I couldn't get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I've been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.

It was me. I go to the planetarium to escape this planet. I have enough of it the rest of my life.

So show me something else. Or I'll boo.

Haha funny name, but let's see how much traction it will get.

I bought a $20 Stanley sharptooth saw and a few second hand chisels.

See the banner on !woodworking@lemmy.ca

And I haven't even bought any stationary tools 😅

Buddhists doesn't have a state. They seem to be doing ok.

None of those states claim to be "the Buddhist state" or that an attack on them is an attack on Buddhism.

Technically, lithobraking is the final stage of any descent, but high speed lithobraking is usually not conducive for future mission objectives.

Ferrero-rocher?

I can read it just fine. Is something wrong with your eyes?

Lisa needs braces.

And when that runs out, you will surely eat cake!

Yeah, it's one thing to steal from "The Man" and quite another to steal from an individual developer.

That works both ways. At different times in history both Arabs and Jews have lived in the areas now called Israel and Palestine.

The problem is snatching land from the present to punish deeds of the past just creates more sorrow.

Reminds me of "The enigma of Amigara fault"

Good bot!

Was riding my bicycle on a fence divided road in the center looking to turn, when a car drove past me and scared me into flinching towards the divider. The handlebar stuck in the divider and came to an immediate rest. My momentum took me over the handlebars and onto my face. Musta looked pretty goofy.
