Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.
One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.
This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.
This is why we have journalists - worst case, take this information to some newspaper, who will likely LOVE to poke the bear.
OK, maybe that’s a little idealistic, but at least you can try, eh?
weird dude who writes raw HTML
Eyy, that’s me! Good excercise to learn actual HTML, instead of directly trying to jump into <insert random JS framework> and getting confused on what’s what.
Anyway, I ended up switching to Hugo as a static site generator, because it was too damn hard to keep all my <header>, <nav> and <main> aligned for all my HTML files.
Now I can just write a markdown file as an article, or switch back to raw HTML if I so need (like rewriting Alan Turing’s paper " On computable numbers" in HTML because I can’t use TTS on the PDFs I found; I still haven’t finished writing it, because I am now reading E. F. Codd’s papers on the Relational Model, which is pretty wild how we already figured that shit out in the 1970s!)
Ubuntu is a gateway drug to Arch.
Soon, Firefox can block ads better than Chrome. Ads are annoying. I see Chrome losing at least a 5% of the market, if not more, to Firefox, just because they’re going to break uBlock Origin, and Firefox isn’t.
Not really, since those have been the most popular expansions. It’s easiest to measure up to, no?
Oh wow, looks like the Haskell devs have been hauling ass! Nice!
I remember the language server being a thing already, but it was in some alpha stage back then. Good to know it’s usable now! :D
Here’s what I remember from Haskell (around 2018):
I love the language, but hate the tooling.
Used it for Uni (did a minor where I learned Haskell, recursion, parsing and regex - probably the most information dense part of school I’ve ever had. Half a year of minor also burned me out, so I never went for my masters; I’m OK with my Bachelors :D ), but never felt like picking it back up.

Because there’s going to be kids around here who have never seen this port (other than maybe on a Point Of Sale (POS) system?)
Nix(OS) has been leaving Arch’s AUR in the dust too! https://repology.org/repositories/graphs
It’s pretty wild how many packages are available. Somewhat curious if that includes variants (be it architecture, be it version) and how “few” they would have without those “duplicates” :p
I just checked his Wikipedia page for his credentials. Worked for 9 years at NASA, of which 7 working on the Curiosity rover (yeah, the one that’s on Mars now).
I’d say that’s credentialed enough.
I too wish he did more complex stuff.
These claims sound like fantastical conspiracy theory, but they are not. They are proof of conspiracy
That’s not how claims work, buddy.
Lastly, we string these major discoveries together: Cryptocurrency is an economic doomsday device; our government is a secret kleptocracy; The Simpsons exists to brainwash us. From there, the only research we need is critical thinking and we’re able to piece together the true story of our circumstances.
Wait, I thought we were supposed to use that all throughout, not at the very end!?
TL;DR Yeah, the guy clearly had a screw loose. Jumping from unfounded (conspiracy) theory to another. At least he was not a Nazi, I guess - he hated everyone* equally.
* everyone being “the government”, “Crypo-anything”, even a few billionaires!
The most recent expansion for WoW has been really good.
Vanilla good, Wrath good, or Legion good?
About 2 years ago I wondered the same, so I collected a bunch of data (of ‘who worked on which game’) and used D3.js to make a graph thingy:
Downside: It’s up to Shadowlands, not Dragonflight; Also, the few little circles pulled more left are mentioned multiple times in the same Credits, just under different roles.
The thick green circle is Customer Support (though this was before the mass-layoff by MS).
Live version here, but it’s SUPER janky - changing selections will generate a new graph lower down the page.
Raw JSON data here - I had to install Retail WoW (F2P is good enough), dig into the game files to find the .html files that contained the credits and then convert that whole pile of doodoo into JSON.
Have you found appdata/local/Application Data? It’s a “conjunction point” that you can only find via the command line, and only exists for backwards compatibility. It points to appdata/… Do not EVER try to gain access over all your files in appdata/. It’ll break due to that conjunction point.
I haven’t used 8GB since… 2008 or so? TBF, I’m a power user (as are most people on any Lemmy instance, I presume), but still…
And sure, Mac OS presumably uses less RAM than Windows, but all the applications don’t.
I hope you can install Firefox, because The Googs is pushing for Manifest v3, which means no more functional adblock.
Linux or bust, babyyyyyy
Digg used to look like this: http://web.archive.org/web/20100603035130/http://digg.com/
They updated it to this: https://web.archive.org/web/20101231083935/http://digg.com/news
And basically reduced the amount of user-content, to promote… their own stuff? I don’t remember what they replaced it with. Users got pissed; left for Reddit.
Now it looks like a typical corporate website: https://digg.com/
It’s “XCOM” nowadays. Since 2012, really.
Even their RDBMS and SQL was copied from ideas that came from IBM. And I recall either E. F. Codd or one of the SQL guys making a remark about Oracle’s less-than-saviour sales tactics, even back in the 90s.
