Lmao. They couldn’t even copy code from a random MIT licensed project? Sometimes I think these scammers aren’t even trying

You could try making enabling git’s rerere functionality, which stands for “reuse recorded resolution”

Arch does tend to keep packages as close to upstream as possible, which can be both a good and bad thing. Sway not binding to graphical-session.target by default is a little strange for example. Other distros also save a first-time user a great deal of configuration for things they probably don’t care about as well. Going through Fedora’s install and finding out that disk encryption and SELinux were configured OOTB was very nice to see personally. On the other hand Arch’s installation (w/o archinstall) has you choosing a bootloader, audio server, display manager, etc. Nothing arduous and I like it, but definitely not for everyone

This is all eliminated by spinoffs of course, but even there users have the option to run random scripts/AUR packages without vetting them. Also doesn’t help that the most popular Arch-based distro for a while (Manjaro) was pretty flaky and generally incompatible with the AUR (despite saying otherwise), leading to many people saying “that’s just Arch” and swearing off the parent project as well

I switched to (Doom)-Emacs from a ~7yr old homegrown Vim config last week and honestly the configuration is less bad than it seems. If you’re mainly writing markdown you’ll probably get 99% of the way there by just enabling the dedicated module

Depends

Clannad? Valid

After-Story?

The back end is open source, but sometimes they’ve lagged years behind releasing the source code.

I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software

Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved

If I had to guess I’d say that their other project, Sponserblock, got a little bit more popular than they were expecting and this is just to help alleviate server costs. Most of the API endpoints don’t require any auth at all (the single one that does accepts a random UUID), so any checks must be locally done (maybe system time?). The extension and server back-end are licensed under GPLv3 and AGPL respectively and are also entirely self-hostable, so the code is out there to verify if you wish

Additionally if you’re looking for it to start on boot without logging in, you might find the loginctl enable-linger command to be of use. Maybe along with a Restart=on-failure policy in the service file if this is for a headless unit or something

The name was used casually before, but he officially changed it in 2021

Wouldn’t call it trash but personally after trying it a couple times it seemed like it took as long to config as neovim while also not being nearly as hackable (probably is more extensible though being a GUI). For that amount of time I’d rather use something with larger benefits like an IDE

I suppose it’s to stop a critical mass of promoters commenting “and my axe” among themselves? I agree though it doesn’t really feel right to encourage more low effort posts

PRE-SUBMISSION EDIT: This is a long-winded reply and goes increasingly off-topic as it progresses, sorry. TLDR I agree

Anecdotally, I’ve also noticed a rapid change in the last decade or so as politicians become emboldened by Trump’s success. For example, the premier of a major Canadian province has done the following:

• Took on some of Trump’s advisors who claimed the COVID vaccines were a bioweapon
• Denied aspects of the well-documented cultural genocide occuring in Canada’s residential schools
• Claimed that people who took a COVID vaccine would have been Nazi sympathizers
• Stated that the first three stages of cancer are “completely within your control”, advocating for neuropathy
• Claimed in 2003 that smoking can reduce the risk of disease

She was previously head of the (now defunct) Wildrose party before defecting and indirectly leading to the historic 2015 election, which marked the first time a left-wing party formed a majority government in almost 80 years.

But even then the most controversial thing she said (publicly) was that ‘the science on climate change “wasn’t settled”’, still inane but a far cry from what was to come after her return to power in 2022

Who said it was the US government? Additionally I’d wager that the people who vote both vote independent and browse these sorts of forums are people who would otherwise vote democrat. Note that there are currently many interested parties that would benefit from a republican win at this moment

I’m not too familiar with the details but there is this excerpt from a blog post by Wolfire Games from 2021 where they say this wasn’t the case. Haven’t checked it’s validity or if it’s relevant information to this case, but it is something

When new video game stores were opening that charged much lower commissions than Valve, I decided that I would provide my game “Overgrowth” at a lower price to take advantage of the lower commission rates. I intended to write a blog post about the results.

But when I asked Valve about this plan, they replied that they would remove Overgrowth from Steam if I allowed it to be sold at a lower price anywhere, even from my own website without Steam keys and without Steam’s DRM.

Yup. If Steam wasn’t around I’d have the joy of choosing between Epic, Origin, GOG (actually not bad but no official Linux client can be annoying), or GFWL (which would probably still be around in this situation)

Probably operates closer to corporate software licensing deals, i.e. “we might not catch you but if we do it’s over”

If it’s an external SSD I could see it being useful in order to keep native compatibility with Windows and MacOS (IIRC their other option would be FAT32 but I don’t use a Windows machine so who knows)

For fun or to play around with transpilers?

Happened all the time over on r/androiddev. Small company brings on the wrong person/uses the wrong SDK/wrongfully fails an review and their account is then banned via “association”, which then propagates down to countless other employees. Only way out is to hope and pray that a human sees the appeal or try and blow up online

Happened so often in fact that the subreddit even created several guides on how to avoid it. My favourite part is that even unpublished apps must be updated in perpetuity to abide by Google’s ever changing requirements

Or this other occasion where viewers of one of the most popular YouTubers in the world were banned for typing in chat
