I give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.

I'm at 9 years myself, I use Ubuntu on desktop, Mint on my home ThinkPad, Ubuntu on my work ThinkPad, and a mix of Debian/Proxmox and Ubuntu for my servers. I'm hoping to switch my desktop to Mint at some point.

The problem is the laws getting passed, not with software that gives people a choice about whether to comply. Is it going to give a choice, though? As more and more of these laws are passed, soon people will have no choice. Open-source software was supposed to be about freedom, and I see this as anything but that.

The thing is, if they collapse the economy, and nobody can afford to buy their overpriced products, they’re going to suffer too - which is good, it shouldn’t be only us suffering.

I think that seems obvious. They want to make their services cheaper for them to run, and they want to sell them for more money, while buying up hardware so nobody else can compete with them or not depend on them.

It’s always one thing: Money.

I built a MAL clone using AI, nearly 700 commits of AI. Obviously I was responsible for the quality of the output and reviewing and testing that it all works as expected, and leading it in the right direction when going down the wrong path, but it wrote all of the code for me. There are other MAL clones out there, but none of them do everything I wanted, so that’s why I built my own project. It started off as an inside joke with a friend, and eventually materialized as an actual production-ready project.

And if the maintainer doesn’t agree to merge your changes, what to you do then? You have to build your own project, where you get to decide what gets added and what doesn’t.

I don’t really agree, I think that’s kind of a problem with approaching it. I’ve built some pretty large projects with AI, but the thing is, you have to approach it the same way you should be approaching larger projects to begin with - you need to break it down into smaller steps/parts.

Yep, it’s good for your health in moderation. As long as it’s not taking over your life to the point where it’s interfering with your normal life, it’s perfectly healthy and nothing to be ashamed about.

It’s really awful because unlike smoking or cocaine or anything else, you can’t just quit food. You need it to live, without it, you will die. Having too much of it permanently alters your hunger levels which makes you require more of it, it’s an endless feedback loop that scientists haven’t figured out yet.

Okay, but we’re talking non-commercial and commercial websites alike both requiring photo ID. That’s something new, that hasn’t happened before.

Why do you bother saying this? You really think 10, 15 years ago sites required you to upload photo ID? Did you even use the Internet back then?
