Closed source and a crowded market.

Sorry to say, but I don’t think you understand the audience for this.

I think you mean, Em Spaint.

Typey type, typity type type.

Switched from Ubuntu to Debian this year. With one extra GNOME package install, its basically the same without snaps, so perfect for me.

@trk@aussie.zone @ing since you mentioned Ubuntu. I also switched from Ubuntu Server to Debian for the servers, too.

Thats fair, but simly using FOSS software doesn’t support the cause of the developers/creators. I mean, look at Lemmy.

Uhh this is a reach. By this logic so is Signal. And RedHat. Hell, even Mastodon.

I’m guessing you either:

a) Were fortunate enough to go to uni when I did, when it was cheap

b) Have had, or had a family with, lots of disposable income

Times are different now, unfortunately. Uni is now a pathway to a job to pay off uni debt. It’s not what it used to be.

Hi dad, I’m America.

No thanks. One more centralized service to enshitify. Will stick with Matrix.

I read this as you wrote it: “its farts”, like the envelope has farts, vs “it is farts”. Both are technically correct, but seems so much funnier that way.

Vector is still pixel maps. Open an SVG in a text editor 😉

Slackware in the early mid-nineties. But of course there was other Unix variants before that. And what was it called, OS/2 or something like that?

UnitedHealthcare has defended the company and Thompson. In a December statement, UnitedHealthcare said “highly inaccurate and grossly misleading information has been circulated about our company’s treatment of insurance claims” and that it “approves and pays about 90% of medical claims upon submission.”

Having worked with insurance companies, this is a PR metric. Volume of claims in no way equals cost of claims. If the denied 10% are suspiciously in line with the procedures that contain the top 40% of costs, there is a problem.

People don’t care if you covered a generic version of a bottle of Tylenol, they care if you bankrupt them or leave them with no hope.

Everyone who agrees should click and read vs just checking the synopsis, letting CNN know this is the case.

You cannot know the answer without seeing the underside of the forks. How will you know if they correctly conform to the curvature of your thumb and/or fingers.

One of the best gifts my partner got me was completing a set of cutlery I had grown to love via eBay and other random shops. How she found decade old stuff in mint condition is beyond me.

Yea, and in this instance, they were using a free font.

Personally I think the artistry in the typeface itself is what should be protected.

If you copy a font, bitmap or not, you’re doing it as a pixel map on a pixelated monitor.

Yes, and:

You can point Immich to your photo uploads as an external library, too. Then make a cron job to rescan regularly.

That being said, I now have my old photos as external libraries and new stuff directly in Immich. After using it a while, I realized that it’s just that good.

Funny, but fonts can’t be copyrighted.

They say the ad used XBand Rough, an “illegal clone”.

If you redraw an entire font, pixel for pixel, manually, it is not an illegal clone. This happens all the time. The creators of the ad just used a copy that was free.

So ironic, yes, illegal, no.

Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.

Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆
