That’s generally false. But even if it’s true, all the boss has to do is argue that medium-term profits will be generated by whatever policy they want to adopt. Since nobody knows the future, they might be right, and they’re legally rock solid.
In other words, the duty to increase value produces unfalsifiable policy claims. So it is meaningless.
The Pirate Bay will always be with us.
The article did mention a fundamental obstacle. It said quite clearly that we would run out of resources before we had enough computing power. I suppose you could counter that by arguing that we could discover magic, or magical technology, or a lot of new resources through space exploration.
Of course things get more efficient. But in the past few decades they’ve gotten efficient in predictable, and mostly predicted, ways. It’s certainly possible that totally unexpected things can happen. I could win the lottery next week. Is that the standard? Are you pushing the stance that says AGI is somewhat less likely than winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning, but by golly it’s more than zero, how dare you suggest that it’s anywhere close to zero?
Lots of options available. YT is slowly cracking down on them. That’s OK, just keep your medium run media consumption plans flexible.
The point is that the post title was false (or intentionally very misleading, if you insist on creatively parsing it). Accuracy in post titles is important.
The garbage is taking itself out
Mostly good article. The end is wrong, though. People do care about policy. Any decent political journalist knows this.
Depending on your situation, you might consider a totally different setup. For example, you could install WordPress or anything vaguely similar to it.
Prosody claims to support Message Archive Management and HTTP file sharing, sounds like the feature you want, or at least it is close.
Nothing I wrote was condescending or shamed the person for asking what they asked. Unfortunately, people like you live in technical forums all across the internet. You make a snap judgment that an on-topic focused response is an attack when it’s not, and you decide to play the white knight. Meh.
Take care, my friend.
Sorry for trying to be helpful. Have a nice day.
Right but Photoshop has a horrible UI too. So maybe if you want similar features, you have to pay the price in time spent learning it.
Of course if you don’t need the features, great. Update your post with what you actually want to do.
I’ve used both of them for many years and generally they’re both quite nice. For some reason kdenlive is my go-to, probably it has a few features that I use regularly, but I would recommend either of them.
The big FOSS apps are tested by many paid and unpaid people. So I’m not sure that your QA instincts are serving you well.
The value of interoperability and protocols all depend on your situation. If you’re temporarily doing certain standalone tasks, maybe you don’t care. Just try to avoid reinventing the wheel.
I think transparency and collaboration is good for software quality in the medium run. You suggested the opposite, and in my observation that’s not true.
Yes, proprietary devs can copy the ideas, but nobody helps them find or fix bugs, or insist on interoperability or following protocols. So corners are cut, often reasonably, and then in a few years it’s full of cruft.
You forgot the biggest most originalist one of all. Email.
Raising questions? No. The only question is how far, how much, how many people will die.
