ah yes, Karl Popper’s paradox of yumyucking.

I know most of these companies have large logistics operations in other countries, for example Mexico.

Can/will they attempt to dodge the tariffs on China by redirecting shipments through some other country with lower tariffs on the product’s way into the United States? Would it be legal for them to do so? (It seems to me that a tariff happy country might prefer to view that as undesirable behavior–would the Trump administration have any recourse against that sort of thing?)

I’d probably replicate a 1x1x1m cube of tungsten, then realize I have no way of removing it from the replicator.

The unfortunate reality is that a significant proportion of software engineers (and other IT folks) are either laissez-faire “libertarians” who are ideologically opposed to the restrictions in the GPL, or “apolitical” tech-bros who are mostly just interested in their six figure paychecks and fancy toys.

To these folks, the MIT/BSD licenses have fewer restrictions, and are therefore more free, and are therefore more better.

The actual reason is because in 2015 “Hewlett Packard” split into two companies, one called HP, Inc, and one called HP Enterprise. The print and consumer PC business went to HPI, while the server and network hardware went to HPE. So, writing just “HP” could be interpreted as ambiguous.

Please be careful when copying anything that could be considered your employer’s intellectual property (almost certainly anything you built as an employee falls into this category) off of that employer’s systems.

And definitely be even more careful about using one employer’s IP for a new employer (neither company would be pleased to discover this).

My Gnome has everything between 100% and 350% in 25% increments?

I once got called the f-slur for having the audacity to read a book in public, outdoors in front of the library.

And iirc the next fedora release will finally unify everything under /usr/bin.

On my current Fedora 40 install /bin is already a symlink to /usr/bin

It’s a good thing we have you around to let us know what all Palestinians think

I just wanted to address a single point from your comment:

Lemmy does not offer end-to-end encryption by default, which means that your messages could be intercepted by someone who is able to access your ISP’s network

If the Lemmy server is using HTTPS, nobody at your ISP or anywhere else between you and the Lemmy server should be able to read your messages (they could see that you are exchanging data with a particular host, but not the contents).

Firefish has some cool features, but every time I opened it on my laptop the fans would immediately spin up to 100%. It’s not exactly lightweight on the client side.

With the exception of some stuff used for windows desktop development, .NET (“dotnet core” is just .NET now) is released under the MIT license. I’m not following how using .NET would be contributing to the “agenda of proprietary software”.

The dotnet cli tools that come with the SDK run just fine cross platforms without Visual Studio. Your Linux distribution probably packages the SDK already, just install and use it.

If you want, you can use C# without .NET by using Unity, mono, or maybe Godot now I think?

I feel like nature decided this for me when I turned out to be allergic to cats.

There are short descriptions of the various sorting options in the documentation.
