Yes, but if someone trips over the cord there is a 50% chance the wrong side comes unplugged and potentially kills them, hence why they don’t make these cords

More, but not way more - they would be licensing window IoT, not a full blown OS, and they wouldn’t be paying OTC retail rates for it.
lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.
It was one of the old, “insert coin, push metal chute in” types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.
The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him “we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper”
You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100
Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though
The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.
It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release
GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)
Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories
Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget
English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”
It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead
Actually, I‘m just excluding companies like yours because they are making way too much revenue on the basis of FOSS without giving back
You don’t know anything about my company? You don’t know what proportion of FOSS vs proprietary software we use, nor how much we give back lol.
It would completely break the locked down proprietary software model and break walled gardens wide open.
This is very pie in the sky. Your license idea only penalizes small to medium sized businesses. Alphabet’s 1% would just go to Chromium/AOSP, and Meta’s 1% would just go to React/Torch
You are probably better off setting up a non-profit and running traditional license fees through it into your payment union then. I can’t emphasize how much of a non-starter 1% of revenues is for any business (it’s my company’s entire IT budget, including salary) - you are basically just saying “personal use only” with more words.
1% is an exorbitant amount of money, and more than most businesses would be able to donate via credit card, so they would still have to reach out to repository owners for banking info
They would have to get in touch to figure out how to pay 1% either way, no?
“how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first”
That’s still not that much data
Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.
Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.
Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs
Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.
Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.
Literally why CDNs and bitorrent tech exist
Neither of these reduces the amount of bandwidth an end user requires to download a 120gb file. If anything torrenting makes it more problematic because the upload is spread amongst a dozen low density residential users rather than a single high throughput datacenter
This is just the ISPs posturing to raise rates.
Ya absolutely. Doesn’t change the fact that ‘gaming uses very little bandwidth’ is only considering the UDP packets sent during an online gaming session and ignoring all the other sources of usage.
I literally have 5-10gb of updates queued up the first time I open steam nowadays
Read the 2nd sentence of the article. They are talking about 120gb CoD patches
You have to pay for visual studio too if it is for business use (the license is also SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than rider)
My coworker uses VS and it seems like the IDE is doing nothing - every time I open one of his projects in rider 85% of the code is highlighted with suggested optimizations and refactors that VS thinks is fine
I don’t think software developers working in AI are “exploited labour just doing it to survive”
This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik
