The problem is the people who use the library don’t have access to the money. They’re just some dev trying to build something and your library is one of their 500 dependencies. The idea of needing to pay for a license means they have to stop building and get other people involved who may or may not approve, which may not be an option if they have a deadline. They will probably just try to find some work around to avoid this.

I wonder if a better approach is to move hundreds of libraries into some kind of joint bundle (a humble bundle). Let companies buy access to them all with one procurement, and also you’ll have more negotiating power and pull if you have a bigger group.

I like the idea of a coop. Workers own everything, feast or starve based on their own success.

I hate to say I told you so, but 7 months ago people like me were saying:

I’ve been saying this. Netanyahu is going to keep the war going until after the election, hoping the bad press drains support from the democratic candidate. Netanyahu would rather see Trump in office anyway. If you’re still blaming the war going on in Gaza on the democrats, just wait until Trump gets in office and gives his support for the total and permanent occupation of Gaza. You’re behaving just as Netanyahu wants you to by not voting for the democrat in November

Go away

We had a brief respite from 2021 to 2022

Mods on c/politicalmemes took down a post I made saying that it was not a meme (spam was what they called it, it was not spam). When I pointed out that very few of the posts in that community are memes, they banned me.

Anyway, be careful out there.

Edit: “report abuse” was the reason they gave for banning me. But, it was me reporting a few things that were not memes, like was done to my post. Rather than evaluating whether the reported posts were memes or not, they went on a power trip. Anyway, no idea why the mods of c/politicalmemes follow me around Lemmy. I didn’t even tag them here, and they show up. Powertripping, I guess. But, my point stands, don’t report things for not being memes, only the mod decides what’s a meme, even if they do a poor job at it. And, if you draw attention to that, they’ll ban you and stalk you on Lemmy.

I keep my hands on my laptop and use my thumb on the track pad. My hands don’t leave the keyboard. I actually never use extra mice or extra keyboards.

My professor was always trying to get us to use vim or eMacs over an IDE to write our C programs. I’m sorry, I like using a mouse. I know, I know, blasphemy. I’m taking a shortcut. I’m a noob.

When I absolutely have to, I go for vim, mostly because I know a few of the key bindings for it, but otherwise avoid it.

They’re mostly all national security threats, especially with Elon and Putin having a special relationship.

It’s like squid game where they identify you by a number. Long live user4616250

Doing as Putin tells him. Despite being the most powerful country in the world, Trump wants to ruin that by destroying the alliances that make it possible.

That was my experience with Diablo 3. Never finished it cause it was boring.

What monitor is this?

So much for habeas corpus

All of us serve the same masters

Lock him up before he takes office

I would for more niche stuff, but I’m guessing my instance would defederate from it.
