My big issue is that a lot of the Aussie subs went full right wing (Murdoch media type stuff.

I don’t even bother browsing it anymore.

Really hope we keep the click bait out of here and keep the more scientifically oriented community

Here in Australia rooftop is cheap. Panels pay themself off in 4-6 years

I hope you need a 500mb driver to use it too with an installer that pops up every reboot, even if you press cancel.

Otherwise, it’s clear that it fails at being a mouse

And nobody noticed…

Maybe calling a hero cave diver a pedo wasn’t a great idea, Elon

I didn’t even realise until the other day you need an account to use it now at all it seems.

So no surprise. In the past, I recall you could browse without a login… so of course nobody is going to put ads on it

Also, why would you want those customers?

I seriously didn’t realize this was meant to be a secret?

Trump still can’t say “China” without saying it in a really weird tone because he’s used to saying “China flu” with emphasis on China.

You can’t help but think that a big component of the depression/doom feeling a lot of the experienced at the time was indirectly related to things Trump did

And the biggest badasses I know also drive some of the crappiest cars and such too.

When more hilariously, here in Australia, I do a lot of hiking and such, and the badasses these days tend to be women. There’s a lot of macho guys who talk big, but I’ve done some scary hikes with elderly women and a woman with Parkinson’s.

The guys and women i.know who do the most crazy stuff also tend to be the most friendly people

You can’t use a lot of apps without it

So sure you can, but it isn’t an awesome experience

I looked something up today.

Do plumbers fit shower screens? Plumbers do not usually fit frameless shower screens. Most of the time, they break the glass panels and hurt themselves. Others do not try going through the installation hassle.

The whole thing is embarrassing. The only way it could be worse could be if they harvested 4chan

He’s 1/3 Hitler 2/3rds dictator

The kind of people who actively vote for him probably aren’t the most charitable people

I used to be a tradie, most of them don’t need them either, and unsurprisingly, there are always tradies around whining their tools got stolen from the back of their Ute.

The funny thing is that the biggest badasses I met don’t drive these kinds of cars. In fact, I can’t recall any guy here in Australia who has demonstrated an ounce of courage who does drive a larger ute, and its generally a reliable indicator imho that they need fashion accessories to impress people.

Also yeah, they always suck at parking. Not because they can’t, but simply because they don’t care

Yeah. I’ll believe my mate who studied immunology for 5 years and has a PhD. Who was trained by people with actual lab and research experience. But sure mate. I’m sure a bit of Google and you’re the expert eh lol

You can do what you want. But defacing bank notes just is cringe and turns people away from what you’re trying to promote, because they will see it like a scam

That’s why only crazy people do it

Yeah. But what about monero? Again, it doesn’t help it either.

Yeah… It won’t actually increase the value of crypto… You’ll just be associating it with nutjobs like anti-vaxxers or insurrectionists who are the kinds of people who do stuff like this… The kinds of people who follow URL’s they find on banknotes, you probably won’t want in your community

You’re just decreasing the value of both here…

Here in Australia, post code is also common

This was one of those toxic questions designed to cause people to argue. That’s really its ONLY purpose. It really only has 2 answers, and both can be interpreted as toxic.

My 2 cents though, here in Australia, you’ll occasionally get a question about staying safe when hiking as women.

You’ll have a huge majority of women saying its safe to hike in Australia, and then 1 or 2 women encouraging women to bring knives or weapons. The ones who claim this then get a huge negative response by both women and guys pointing out it makes things more dangerous for everyone and that nobody needs them.

As a male guide also, I’ve actually found it difficult to find other guys to hike with, but it is incredibly trivial for me to find women to join me (in fact, doing one this upcoming weekend).

So, interpret that as you will, but, honestly, the people who are incredibly invested in either of these answers, in my opinion, nobody would want to hike with regardless (bears, other women or men), so the answer doesn’t affect them.

That’s not possible. The keyboard warriors were telling us that solar makes the grid unstable 5 years ago. And they obviously know what they are talking about

Maybe someone should go fetch them from their current anti-EV rants to educate us why solar is bad /s

I don’t know how GitLab would make anyone terribly unproductive. I see many FOSS projects or even entire (proprietary) software companies choosing GitLab for source code management. In fact, the company I work at (a government contractor) uses GitLab, as well as many other FOSS tools. And it’s definitely not a FOSS company, our main customers are the police and military.

The switch process will be terribly unproductive. Also, even the process of discussing the change is a nightmare. Don’t forget all the backend stuff that needs to change too from all downstream. It’s not as easy as using the API and tools to copy the repo in this case… Everyone from Fedora to Zedora is affected on their side because the upstream address will change

Sure, but their first choice for a data source is GitHub. For other platforms, they would need to develop and maintain an indexer/crawler (which you can block), which costs time and thus money. Just think about it, why would you upload my code to a platform, when you know that the owner of that platform actually hates FOSS and only wants to profit from it?

Microsoft actually contributes a lot to open source… Why would they need an indexer / crawler? They already index everything using bing… Then they just need a git pull.

What has Microsoft recently contributed to the FOSS community? I mean truly contributed. Why should a FOSS project use their proprietary products when other free (both as in price and as in freedom) alternatives exist?

Because they work… Switching platforms offers no real benefits in any way, and Github is free for open source projects.

Dumb argument. The code editor/IDE is a personal choice of each developer. The software forge isn’t. I really doubt that anyone at OpenSSL is using VSCode (a bloated JavaScript mess) for C development. But if you need to use it, there’s VSCodium which is completely open source and removes the Microsoft tracking.

Yeah… Sure… Every developer I know these days except one uses VSCode. And we took him off the main team in our company because he was taking too long to do things (because we are all using copilot).

What exactly do you think Microsoft is tracking? Do you think they’re peeking on developer webcams? Nope… https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry . Crash reports are normal… Its all GDPR anyway. I don’t care if Microsoft knows what language I’m developing on

So is GitLab

Cool… I’ll just leave this here: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/05/0-click-gitlab-hijacking-flaw-under-active-exploit-with-thousands-still-unpatched/

People should use what they want. It’s actually bad for the community when people who contribute nothing try to project manage projects they have nothing to do with. It’s their decision… If you don’t like it, fork OpenSSL to Gitlab and do your own thing… Trust me, you’ll notice that choosing Github vs Gitlab doesn’t affect project success.

Again, the productivity is what matters. You dont think they could train copilot if it’s hosted on a remote git repo?

Also, are you going to do the self hosting for them? It uses a lot of resources and time to self host. Again, nobody knows this better than us.

Also, what have you contributed to openssl lately? Resources? Money?

Switching hosting isn’t a two second job either. There is a serious hit to productivity during migration for everyone, including distros.

Are they allowed to use vs code to develop too? Or do they need to change?

Nothing helps open source succeed better than productivity. Also, if they can train copilot with open ssl, good luck. Apparently the code is difficult

Also, there is always the possibility some of these smaller ones go bankrupt. GitHub is highly unlikely to

What bugs? Be specific…

Also, I can’t remember the last time Github has been offline for me (in the last 3.5 years of using it at work)
