    Pay me double fee every time a recruiter sends me a job post for a role that isn't actually hiring and the company is using just to ”test the job market”. A company that is always hiring should have to pay extra tax for wasting unemployed people's time.

    The SDK was never FOSS, and was never under the GPL. Hence why they can add the text mentioned in the article. You don't get to change the text of a FOSS license to begin with. It isn't unheard of for text like this to be part of proprietary software that integrates with and uses FOSS that are under different licenses.

    That said, this is concerning, but whether it changes BW's FOSS state is a matter of legal bickering that has been going on for decades.

    SC is a scam. They sell ships for real money that only half work. The game is riddled with bugs, quests don't complete. Users state is regularly wiped so there's no point on progressing in it and instead of finishing the game they ask players for much more money to work on tiny niche technical problems that sound super important on presentations but don't move the needle even a little bit towards a finished game. At best, it is video game history most expensive physics toy. In reality, when you scrutinize their finances executives have pocketed most of the money raised and devs have been paid poor wages and overworked to a constantly moving target. They have never finished a single roadmap item, but they have announced to fanfare at least 5 different development roadmaps that are the very definition of scope creep. Lots of announcements but never a release. Any competent studio would've delivered at least three completed games in the same timeframe for that amount of money. They're an online asset store that sometimes let's you fiddle with the digital models, not a video game.

    A graphic designer friend who taught Photoshop literacy always said that any idiot can use graphic design software. The technical skills for using an app or piece of software have not been an obstacle for a long time. Knowing a piece of software, no matter how advanced or simple, doesn't make someone a good designer, not even knowing it really well. There are technical elements that are actually agnostic to software, like composition, balance, communication, symbology, color theory, etc. But more importantly, and what they usually spent the most time on, it's also a matter of taste. Like with music, taste plays a very important role in good design. Sort of like drawing, with enough practice and guidance anyone can draw really well. But knowing how to draw won't make a person a famous artist. There are so many more things than the technical use of a tool.

    Unfriendly reminder, and absolutely unfun fact, that torture's entire point is to break a person's will so they'll say and do anything the torturer wants. So, if you can withstand days or just a few seconds is completely irrelevant. Even if you give up right away before the torture even starts, you'd be tortured anyways, because it's not about the cognitive and rational surrender, it's about the visceral subconscious surrender of agency to another's will. Disregarding all rationality.

    Poor comprehension of the law. LLC in the vast majority of the western world means limited liability, not absolute immunity. Owners are 100% responsible for the actions of their companies, but their liability is limited when other members of the company act without their knowledge or in bad faith, or damages are unintentional. If the damage was intentional and the actions were sanctioned and approved by ownership or leadership they are absolutely liable for the legal repercussions. Liability is limited also for multiple owners, a hedge fund cannot be held responsible for the action of a company they only own 5% of and has an indirect influence on the actions of leadership. The really important element here is that Musk is being identified as acting as primary agent, not just Twitter, and using assets and resources from his other companies. Thus, it's not Twitter acting, it's Musk who is acting, and then fines can be on all of his capital holdings, not just Twitter. This nuance of law is exactly according to the laws in place in the EU.

    Compression depends on what the data is. It's hard to predict if it is possible with very heterogeneous data like an OS. What I would do is get a cheap external drive. Always have a USB drive with a windows recovery image when doing this things. Get comfortable with the process of restoring the OS. Read the debloating tool's documentation very thoroughly.

    SpaceX wins have nothing to do with Musk. It's the literal army of engineers doing the work. Tesla's event was a bunch of dudes in remote controllers showcasing 5 year old technology trying to sell it as future tech. Musk is a con man, all he knows how to do well is sell bullshit. Nothing he has ever promised has ever been delivered. What the engineers that work for him have promised, without the smokes and mirrors of stock trading theater, they have some what delivered.

    This "move fast break stuff" worship is just an excuse to hurt others without consequences and to deflect responsibility. For that matter, SpaceX is forced to deliver without the seagull manager meddling because they're overwatch by the government. Putting trust in a company even though you know for certain they cannot deliver and are scamming you out of your money is either shilling or insanity.

    He is, watch the vídeo. Longwinded list of criticism, controversies and red flags in a single event, then back to shilling. "If anyone is gonna deliver, it will be Tesla", god, it even sounds like an ad read.

    Tesla is faux futurism. They don't promote an utopia, but a fascist capitalist dystopia. Where tech has made it so you don't have to talk with poor people anymore. Talk to your robot maid instead, and get shuttled around so you never have to interact out of your class bubble.

    Rom pirates usually trim and sign their releases, specially if they have to break or decode any encryption. These pirate's signatures have been found in official Nintendo releases. Some of their own emulators have also been found to run piracy emulation software. They are pretty much hypocrites.

    Sorry, I was not replying to you (not an insult). I assume you are interacting from Mastodon from the format of the comment, and getting pinged on replies to other comments (?). I mean, you do you, absolutely not going to diss people who want absolute control over their system. But immutable distros are fundamentally an entirely philosophically different approach from how traditional Linux distros have been packaged and managed in the past. That said, I didn't make the installers, I'm just reporting what has been my recent experience toying with immutable distros. The whole point is to automate as much as possible of the deployment and management of an OS, and do the least amount of tedious manual troubleshooting. If you don't like that, all the other distros are still there, they haven't gone anywhere. The current recommendation for Fedora Atomic based distros is to use specialized tools like Universal Blue that allows the user absolute freedom to deterministically configure a Fedora install that results in an immutable OS. And the installer is actually pretty flexible to let you choose how you want the disks laid out. But, the idea is that you should let the installer do its job, that's for what it was made. If you want to do everything by hand just use Arch, that's what Arch is for.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18188737 > Venezuelans are ready to throw off the dictatorship. Will the international community support us? > > By Maria Corina Machado I am writing this from hiding, fearing for my life, my freedom, and that of my fellow countrymen from the dictatorship led by Nicolás Maduro. Mr. Maduro didn’t win the Venezuelan presidential election on Sunday. He lost in a landslide to Edmundo González, 67% to 30%. I know this to be true because I can prove it. I have receipts obtained directly from more than 80% of the nation’s polling stations. We knew that Mr. Maduro’s government was going to cheat. We have known for years what tricks the regime uses, and we are well aware that the National Electoral Council is entirely under its control. It was unthinkable that Mr. Maduro would concede defeat. We Venezuelans have done our duty. We have voted out Mr. Maduro. Now it is up to the international community to decide whether to tolerate a demonstrably illegitimate government. The repression must stop immediately, so that an urgent agreement can take place to facilitate the transition to democracy. I call on those who reject authoritarianism and support democracy to join the Venezuelan people in our noble cause. We won’t rest until we are free.

    La candidata María Corina Machado, de Vente Venezuela, obtenía 552.430 votos que representaba el 93, 13% del total con el 26,06% de las actas escrutadas que la dan como ganadora de la consulta interna de la plataforma unitaria demócratica, anunció la madrugada de este 23 de octubre el presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Primaria, Jesús María Casal, al dar a conocer el primer boletín del proceso. Después de denunciar un bloqueo en sus servidores, que impidieron transmitir los primeros resultados, la favorita del proceso sumaba 552.430 votos, de 601.010 mil de los que se habían totalizado hasta el momento. En segundo lugar estaba Carlos Prosperi, candidato de Acción Democrática, quien durante la tarde del domingo dijo en un video que no iba a reconocer los resultados al sostener que hubo irregularidades durante la jornada.

    I don't mean system files, but your personal and work files. I have been using Mint for a few years, I use Timeshift for system backups, but archived my personal files by hand. This got me curious to see what other people use. When you daily drive Linux what are your preferred tools to keep backups? I have thousands of pictures, family movies, documents, personal PDFs, etc. that I don't want to lose. Some are cloud backed but rather haphazardly. I would like to use a more systematic approach and use a tool that is user friendly and easy to setup and program.
