It always sucks to know you paid more than the seller did - but that just means Oxfam undervalued the book.

Having worked in one, charity shops tend to have a habit of either really undervaluing or overvaluing their donated goods - cause the people who actually set the prices mostly just guess based on looks and nothing more. Only if an item looks expensive will they do any research, and even then never really enough.

Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

True. While it’s definitely more secure than their other 2FA offering (storing them with your passwords), it’s still the same developers making both - so it still feels like putting all my eggs in one basket.

For IOS I can see this as a valid option, because unless you are willing to trust Microsoft, Google, or Authy with your 2FA, which I personally don’t think one should, then you haven’t got too many options.

But on Android there are plenty others that are known to be reliable, Aegis for example, so the value proposition is lessened for me at least.

Cool idea for anyone who doesn’t already use Bitwarden for their passwords, but I would be awfully sceptical of having my passwords and 2FA codes stored on the same service - only one breach required to royally screw me up

That’s what I figured - pretty much any alarm system would be better, but could technically help you in a pinch

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.

Because if they pay out, they make less money, far cheaper to get you to give up trying - which is what a lot of people will do because it’s designed to be an exhausting system.

Oh great they get to collect and make money off of “anonymous technical data” for years, and their punishment for doing all that is to delete the data, and swear they won’t collect anymore of it for the next few years??

They already made their money off of people’s data! This isn’t a meaningful punishment, hell it’s barely a slap on the wrist.

The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work

Which is (or at least should be) “Aluminium” because that’s the internationally agreed IUPAC spelling.

We gave up the cooler spelling of Sulfur to be consistent with IUPAC - if we can do that, then surely giving up on “-num” should be a cakewalk.

Except it’s not clickbait - I’ll cite Wikipedia so you can look yourself, but they’re not the same thing.

Rose Gold is a proper alloy of Gold, made with Copper.

Purple Gold is an “intermetalic” (which have a different molecular structure to normal alloys and thus are more brittle), and is made with Aluminium.

Due to it’s brittleness even amongst intermetalics, it is considered hard to work with, much more so than a proper alloy like Rose Gold. The only similarity they share is their colour ranges can overlap dependent on how they’re made.

True…

But even on a more metaphorical level, every single thing that has or will happen in this universe, down to even the smallest quantum fluctuations could be encapsulated into IF statements as long as you had enough of them.

There’s not a single thing in this universe that cannot be accomplished with enough IF statements… as long as you’ve got infinite time to wait

Ah, I see this is one of those little differences between KBin and Lemmy.

This is what I see…

So you guys see that first one as just the GIF and not that massive URL that we see.

Wouldn’t this have worked better?

Who would’ve thought a sector with gold flowing through its hands would be so stingy when it comes to updating their backend that they’d end up relying on a dying language, and call upon AI to update it for them rather than just paying a competent team to create and rigorously test a new backend in a modern language

Food is absolutely getting more expensive, but they equally bought a rod for their own back buying all the premium brand stuff.

Spoiling yourself is all well and good, but they shouldn’t complain something expensive was expensive haha

Exactly. Stay or leave, up to you, but for the love of God if all you’re gonna do is ask me if I tried restarting please just be quiet.

Does Reddit not realise that their own internal search is so bad most people will search for answers on Reddit via Google. They’re gonna shoot themselves hard-core in thd foot pulling that move.

If you read into the blog post this links to, you’ll find that is only the opening argument, not the whole argument as you say.

My first paragraph reacts to that… and to be honest, I’m still going to say isn’t that controversial.

When most people think of Open Source, they’re not thinking about the OSL, they’re thinking colloquially (as in the source being open to the public). I suspect he was using that wording colloquially as well - whether that was a slip up or intentional, I don’t know, but considering he goes out of his way to let us know about the way Grayjay’s licensing works, I don’t think he’s trying to hide anything by it.

The rest of what I said afterwards was my first reaction towards the rest of the blog, and I stand by it.

One can certainly argue it’s not “open source” so much as “source available”, but I don’t think it’s that controversial.

They’re providing a product, and obviously don’t want other people slapping their name on it and selling what they worked hard to make. Their license makes it easier for them to enforce that.

They also obviously don’t want people creating malicious forks of their program, like what keeps happening with NewPipe. So their license also makes it easier for them to enforce that.

If you want to encourage more companies to make their source code available, then maybe we shouldn’t shit on those that are.

Plus, per Rossman’s own words, you don’t even have to buy Grayjay for it to work, it’ll just ask you, ala Winrar. Give them a break.
