That’ll teach him to play favorites with the reindeer.

I thought it’d drop the “just the trunk space” thing eventually but it reaffirms it towards the end

But the question specifies that the car should still be drivable, which probably means that the rear seats need to be in place for passengers to sit.

And the reasoning broke down, you don’t need passengers to drive a car. Pretty interesting reading it’s “thought” process with the little humanisms like “hmm” and “but wait!”

Oh I don’t close the door, I just jam something in the little hole the door goes into and start it

Yes the blue bird website did it first iirc

Let the arms race begin!

It’s an ironic name. Like our morbidly obese friend, Tiny.

God I miss the old Roblox. Every now and then I come back to see what’s up. A lot of the old places are still there, but some of the scripts don’t work anymore. I always look back at my old places from waaaaayyy back and every time I do I see them through different eyes and come to understand child me a little bit differently. Roblox around '08 was really something special.

By the way, if you were active on the old forums somebody went and archived them: https://archive.froast.io/

I’m glad I never used my actual name, looking at my dumbass posts lol

EDIT: By the way, there’s some really cool shit being made by the new kids, I mean Roblox did make a ton of money off them after all. Recently I played a bit of the AoT game. And of course there’s Dress to Impress. The barrier to entry for places is a lot higher now.

Cause it was made in Japan of course

They won’t even give my boy a chance

There’s always the good ol’ “danna”

Serious question, is there actually a FOSS project out there at the scale of something like Firefox that survives on only donations?

Didn’t crunchyroll used to be exactly that kind of website they’re getting taken down now? Lame…

But then who backs up the backups?

Bro really? Vienna? Uptown Girls? Hey Jude? You really don’t like any of his music?

Your freedom to do those things under capitalism is wholly bound by your existing wealth, and wealth begets wealth. When your parents are well off, you can get into good schools, get better education, and ultimately get a better job and, really, be a better worker bringing more wealth into the already existing pool of wealth your family had. Those who have been disenfranchised by way of things like eminent domain, redlining, or the straight up prosecution of them and their fellow men simply don’t have that option to rise up. They don’t even have the opportunity to try and fail, they’ve failed by their very existence. At a macro scale, once you’ve reached the top (e.x. Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc.) you have the resources to not only out-do any of the competition but to sell products at a loss to starve your competition and bully them into submission, which big companies do all the time instead of investing in better products. It’s just good business.

Circumstance plays a lot into how much wealth you start out with and how much wealth you end up being able to accrue, so while it’s nice being not even at the top but even just the middle, it’s important to have the mindfulness to know that there are those below you who don’t have the same freedoms, and they’re not there because their businesses did poorly. Some of them are, but most are simply victims of greater powers stealing their capital.

What sucks is if there was no commercial part here - i.e. like how you’re doing it just for fun, or if we lived in a magical world where we all just agreed that creative works were the shared output of humanity as a whole - then there would be no problem, we’d all be free to just use what we need to make new things however we want. But there is a commercial part to it, somebody is trying to gain using the collective work of others, and that makes it unethical.

Converting code too! I’ve used LLMs to go from Node -> GoLang, and that’s basically how I learned to code in Go coming from a less low-level background. You can also ask about what the current best practices are.

I’ve definitely run into this as well in my own self-hosting journey. When you’re learning it’s easier to get it to just draft up a config - then learn what the options mean after the fact then it is to RTFM from the beginning.

Now that is an interesting target to get tons of people off twitter. If all these K Pop labels like Hybe and JYP suddenly started publishing on BlueSky their fans would immediately follow suit

I wouldn’t say I’m in control per se when I don’t have the option to just do the update whenever I feel like it. I’m in control the same way a prisoner is in control of whether or not they eat that day by just not eating. Like, put it behind a giant bold unmissable piece of text that says “IF YOU DO THIS YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR MACHINE AT RISK AND HACKERS WILL IMMEDIATELY STEAL ALL YOUR MONEY” but don’t make it so it’s impossible for me to do without some workaround.
