AFAIK it hasn’t been used as an OS yet (meaning init - the thing you start after bootloader). Or a bootloader
Right?

That’s definitely what my scripts, that I moved to using, do. Maybe the feature was missing back then

And it can also do three-way, bi-directional sync. Which feels kind of crazy to me

Ah. Then it must have not fit my use-case at the time. I don’t remember

Can you define which remote dir should be synced where? That might have been my issue

I’ve been using pcloud. You can choose for the data to be hosted in EU. Doesn’t have a client but works well with rclone (and Round Sync on Android). And from time to time they offer “lifetime” package - no subscription

Depends how one looks at it. From purely practical POV, probably 90% of us don’t need to bolt their doors so much. But as a principle, as a society we’ve lost the “war” on privacy so much, that it really takes a long way to pull the dial back to where it should be

I don’t think they do, honestly. Being rich does not necessarily mean being smart

And those who pay for not being brought up on the lists of most rich, probably don’t use tech themselves

Their wealth comes from stocks, bonds and land, not an account that can be hacked. Their safety against kidnapping for ransom comes from being pals with most of politicians and/or having clout in the right circles to help any politician that will ping high enough to be allowed to get an appointment

At that point just let me ditch the formality and send over the summary in the first place.

A tangent a little bit but so much this. Why haven’t we normalized using fewer words already?
Why do we keep writing (some blogs and all of content marketing) whole screens of text to convey just a sentence of real content?
Why do we keep the useless hello and regards instead of just directly getting to the points already?

According to modlog it was against Rule#2

Wasn’t there the same question here yesterday?

students

When I was a student I despised the idea of typeless var in C#. Then a few years later at my day job I fully embraced C++ auto. I understand the frustration but unfortunately being wrong is part of learning

It might be interesting to cross-post this question to [email protected]
but brace for impact

I don’t think such trend would be so big. And anyone who has used any LLM for programming learns very quickly that those are very far from replacing anyone

They don’t want to use those tools, legal or technical, because it goes against the spirit of FOSS, even if it’s to stop someone else who is abusing the spirit of FOSS.

I’m not convinced. It all started from a license saying “if you want to distribute your version, you have to license it the same”. One either plays by the rules or the modification doesn’t see the light of day. And at the time of publication, it was rather radical stance
Freedom sometimes has to be enforced

This is not a story about a company denying free trial to another company because the latter is big. It’s about the latter leeching resources from supporters who’s money go towards the fleet that serves their 4k VM “trial”

It is against the spirit of FOSS

I know. The world runs on duct-tape

I 100% expect so. It’s much easier and cheaper to do it this way and also gives them data to train copilot further

I might be wrong, though

I’m not convinced that the number of questions asked is the correct metric. In the end the point is not to have a constant flow of questions, rather constant flow of answers found.

There is a point in proficiency in language/library/whatever after which it is faster to find the answer in the code/documentation/test example than to wait until another person on even higher level will come and answer your question.
Maybe we simply filled out what was needed to be asked in the beginner-bug found-intermediate space and, apart from questions stemming from new versions etc, SO does not need more questions?

Expectation for everything to constantly grow is unrealistic

And as usual, that is not where the costs should be cut. Even with the current relegation of platform (I mean running mission-critical machines in cloud). I wouldn’t trust that company to be their customer if I knew they operate like that

Picture a semi-governmental company

Also, relying on 30-day license that has to be refreshed on monthly basis, now with personal emails, is a sev1 waiting to happen. Very unmaintainable

And if someone from That Company is reading this: you still have time to do the right thing. You’ve got the rocket science down. Now try ethics.
