You ask them to add a license, you don’t suggest a license.
I’m a staff software engineer at Sunrun, the USA’s largest residential solar installer.
I mostly work with kotlin, but also java, python, ruby, javascript, typescript. My hobby is picking up new hobbies. Currently bird photography and camping.

Haven’t heard of it. What’s your favorite feature?
Oh no I have to mod a config file to make it do what I want…why can’t the devs just read my mind???
nobody has to read anyone’s fucking mind, why can’t you just make it a fucking settings menu? You’re the ones making it HARDER TO EVANGELIZE FOSS. For fuck’s sake! You’re entirely missing the point!
If you’re the kind of helpless person who has to be spoon fed answers, then perhaps Linux or FOSS isn’t for you, and other alternatives exist that have professional support staffs.
you’re the exact kind of person making FOSS look bad to the majority of people. Since you don’t seem to realize, I run the programming.dev instance. I most likely have been working in tech longer than you. This kind of attitude you have towards “people should just learn everything about every piece of software they use” is why people like you shouldn’t be near open source software at all. You make it fucking impossible for people like me to get anyone to even try FOSS because all they remember are morons like you saying “just figure it out”. I’m not going to teach my mother in law what a fucking flatpak is and there is absofuckinglutely no way that she is going to be able to google it and figure it out. It has nothing to do with learned helplessness. It has to do with the fact that she’s a painter, not a tech guru, and gatekeeping FOSS by purposefully making it hard to use is such an idiotic thing I have no clue how you could even defend it. Your actions make big tech companies become more entrenched in people’s lives. It is by your hand that people don’t want to use things like Firefox.
I making a point that you seem to be missing. If you have to point out some way to get around a problem that any given user will have with a piece of software, then that’s why your software is not being used. This is the continual problem with the Linux community, they think that everyone wants to learn this stuff. Most people just want their software to work. They don’t want to have to do any sort of googling to figure out why it’s crashing or why it’s running slow or why it doesn’t have this or that feature. Every time someone like you tries to point out that someone can just google something you lose another person that may have been willing to use FOSS in the future. Instead, maybe go try to fix their problem because they sure as hell aren’t going to.
What’s flatpak and why in the world would I need to know about it in order to use a cad program? Do you see why people don’t use this stuff?
Thanks for the context. You can really tell by reading it too, they’re clearly trying to make it sound like companies can’t exist without tracking users, absolutely batshit insane.
Solenoids hooked up to an esp8266 should be able to do all you’re asking for.
You’ve really got two options here. Tailscale, which will give you named dns routes for your machines, based on the machine name, or dynamic DNS with a reverse proxy like SWAG.
The lowest plan is only $54 a year and it’s most definitely worth it for the results.
Kagi is even better than DDG. Google is absolutely horrendous.
Kagi is probably the paid one you have seen but it’s not open source. And it’s way better results. I make maybe 1 extra search for every 30 searches now compared to google where it was getting up to 3-5 extra searches every time I did a single search. Not sure of a better metric other than that.
I have. It’s pretty good. I still use Firefox for most stuff, and like 5% of sites that I visit break in Orion, but other than that it’s very clean and easy. I like the side tabs, but it doesn’t completely replace Firefox for me yet. Seems close though!!!
Great time to plug kagi.com
“Absent this data, smaller enterprises will lose a critical path to reach and attract new customers, and consumers overall will have less exposure to new products and services that may interest them,” a group of ad trade bodies wrote in a letter first reported by Adweek.
I don’t see the downside. Literally all benefits. Less waste, less consumerism, less spying, less invasion of privacy, less corporations controlling our everyday lives. It’s all wins!
Why?
The United agreement was prompted by an incident in which a passenger died after her custom wheelchair was damaged during a cross-country flight.
Yeah they clearly just made up that conclusion. At my grocery store you will see the human cashiers just standing there waiting for people to come to their lines while the self checkout lines back up. I stopped reading the article almost immediately because they don’t even justify that comment at all.
These titles really should say “an idiot was arrested for…”
I completely agree.
