For me it’s the constant pressure to deliver more and with shorter deadlines while still being held accountable when things inevitably go wrong.

David Hansson is absolutely a racist xenophobic piece of shit.

Yeah, that’s what a Nazi is. Acting like it’s not akin to Nazism is what’s actually pissing on the graves of people who died in the war. “Erm, actually someone is only a Nazi if they were a member of the National Socialist Party in Germany during WWII” is doing them a favor. Don’t let them hide.

Coming from someone who was raised in the southeast US, a huge part of the Lost Cause of the South movement wasn’t to erase what the Confederacy did, but to just paint them in a slightly more positive light. Rebranding, so to speak. Acting like some specific breed of ultranationalism isn’t technically “a Nazi” is just the same shit. In the minds of many people that live near me, there is absolutely nothing odd about celebrating under the world’s largest Confederate monument with fireworks. Despite the fact that it was finished in response to Brown v. Board of Education. Despite the fact that Stone Mountain has historically been and still is associated with the literal KKK. It’s the same shit.

Being pedantic about the terms helps them.

let’s stick with the original premise

Buddy, the original premise of the article WAS donating to Nazis.

Yeah, those lawyers should be doing QA.

Can’t copyright a name, it’s trademarked though.

It’s odd that it shows Brave as FOSS but not Firefox. Assuming it’s not merely that nobody listed Firefox as FOSS yet and it’s because Firefox’s page says the “source code” is licensed under MPL but not the binary itself… Brave literally has this on the app.

My understanding was that all rights reserved meant specifically not foss. Like it’s just the default copyright. But Brave lists itself as using MPL on another page. Which is ironic, because obviously Firefox uses MPL.

I feel like this is just because nobody submitted Firefox as FOSS yet.

Arch and derivatives expect you to check the news file before upgrading, but do not integrate this into the upgrade tool. I have not personally ran into a problem this way, but it’s frustrating that pacman doesn’t have any capability to do this if you’re expected to.

Firefox with uBlock Origin on mobile does that too. That said, I do use Brave on mobile when I need a Chromium browser and the Chrome Mask extension doesn’t cut it.

I think that’s pretty good insight. In some ways, the JVM served the role that things like Docker does today. That’s a good way of looking at it

Gosh. I remember working with this back in 2019 and earlier. Our legacy products ran on it. I remember a new service we made (before Spring Boot really took off) used TomCat. It was so much easier to mess with. I asked why we don’t use that for our main product. Imagine my surprise when they said we actually used to.

I’m sure they had their reasons, I was a younger dev at the time and didn’t have insight into why they changed it. But still. Everything is so simple now. Java to run your jar. Your jar has your server built in. Done. And that’s not even including containerization.

I do miss Jenkins though. GitHub Actions seems to be the new hotness. Maybe I just don’t have the muscle memory yet, but it can be annoying.

I’ve seen NES and combination SNES/NES clones for sale at Microcenter (or maybe it was somewhere else, I don’t recall, but it wasn’t the type of store to be selling illegal things). So, yeah. Bleem! (a commercially sold PlayStation emulator) was found to be legal in court. I don’t think hardware products doing it are any different.

The main problem is that most places selling handheld emulators out there are also bundling ROMs of every game. And that is illegal.

No, not everyone who got long covid didn’t take it seriously. But the people who were super spreaders or spread misinformation are certainly to blame.
