Show me the adverts that GNOME or the KDE project pushes. How do I block ads in my Linux kernel? Where are the ffmpeg adverts? What about the curl ads? Where do you go about finding adverts in LibreOffice? I’ve never seen any ads in nginx, but maybe I’ve missed them.

There’s so much free software out there.

Mozilla gets money, they can also apply for funding if things get that tight. Given that they’re pouring money into useless projects no one has ever asked for, that’s widely unpopular and has lost them a tonne of goodwill among their userbase, I don’t think money is a massive problem for them.

What services are you referring to when you say “these services?”

Seems like e2ee is being worked on for Meet as well.

Like literally everything that evil waste of air does.

Don’t think the goal is to get something functional, but to get money for it. The hardware would become outdated in short order even if you could overcome the heating issue.

He will just raise money in this grift and then run away with it, like literally every other grift he’s ever done. He’s never cared about it being realistic. Note the extreme lack of people on both the moon and mars, despite his promises of a colony in the early 202Xs. Note how his cars still don’t have FSD.

He’s just a liar.

If it’s a matter of quantity over quality, LLMs are fantastic at that. I can totally see them bloating the codebase by letting loose a few LLMs and have them do whatever.

So it’s like a boring version of the subsimulator subreddit?

Like I said, I treat it as a luxury. I buy from a local artisan, it gets expensive so I don’t eat a whole lot. Flavour is fantastic and I know it’s not from slavery, so that’s all that matters to me.

I don’t judge anyone for choosing Lindt. I just personally can’t.

I wouldn’t call it shit, but it’s very overpriced. It’s like luxury brands like Gucci and what have you, you’re paying for the brand and the quality isn’t necessarily better. I’m no connoisseur or anything, but I’ve had some really good high quality chocolate a few times, and the depth in flavour you get is just something Lindt doesn’t have.

With cacao harvests suffering due to global warming, and the working conditions generally being shit (slave labour, even) my approach is to treat chocolate like the luxury it is; splurge on it on occasion, get something from a reputable seller, if there’s an artisanal chocolatier locally you can support local business and have a better idea of where the ingredients are from.

Lindt isn’t that good. They market themselves as premium but they kind of fail from a flavour perspective. Completely flat and uninteresting.

There’s no way that the Patreon app isn’t more than a dolled up web view. If people make stupid decisions I guess the fallout is on them.

Yeah. But why would you use the app? I personally didn’t know there even was an app.

Yeah. I really liked my OPO. It was fantastic. My first hesitations about them came when they started doing multiple versions. Like OnePlus X or whatever that first one was called I kind of glossed over, felt like a marketing thing. But after a few years they just turned into a normal manufacturer.

The whole schtick with the limited availability and stuff meant that the phone was great quality at a great price. They abandoned that too fast to become another Samsungooglewhatever.

Climate intelligence. Gods, excuse me while I go fetch my skeleton that was ejected from my body due to the cringe.

Absolutely. Angela Collier did a video on this where she kind of roasted the guy. Imagine openly stating that you haven’t actually worked for the past two years, by saying “hey guys just a word of warning, if you click the delete button it’ll delete stuff.”

Brain is mush.

They started developing Oxygen around the time of OnePlus 2. I used my OnePlus One into 2020, it was a nice phone. It’s sad to see how they’ve gone down this nasty path.

Oh, like a ROM?

Perhaps they’re just marketing it with what’s available. The scope of VR games are pretty limited at the moment, and because VR headsets aren’t exactly ubiquitous, I can see why the work that’s being done is mostly done by enthusiasts. I personally have only really spent a decent amount with two games, Resonite and Dungeons of Eternity. One is a creative platform, honestly more of a game engine than a game, and the other’s an actual game.

I don’t really care about what Facebook did for the market, because ultimately they’re an evil company and I’d rather not have anything else to do with them. I get a gross feeling every time I put on my headset because I know that they’re sending as much data as they can back to their servers. I’d be more surprised if you could prove that they don’t have a complete 3D scan of my flat, including images, than if you told me they did.

Valve at least goes with FOSS, and builds on top of that. I won’t need to seek Facebook’s approval to install software on a device I paid for. That’s the very minimum I should expect as a consumer. Facebook doesn’t meet that expectation by a long shot.

Gods no. I’d be happy to see Facebook out of the VR market. I’ve high hopes for Valve’s new headset.

Yeah, exactly. Don’t use Google.
