Dual license. You can specify one license under some conditions and another license for other conditions. So you could specify that if your code is going to be used by someone like say, Amazon, they need to pay you a license. But actual open source projects get it free and clear. Or whatever combo you want.

I fully understand and empathize this. No matter what I do, it’s thanks to her in her eyes. My faults and failings are of course not hers, but all of the wins and accomplishments are.

It works surprisingly well on Linux

Child walking onto the street in front of a truck? Billy please come here, please don’t walk into a truck. Never is such a strong word. And I have a mother who yelled, frequently, and I still think there are a few cases. Parents aren’t infallible or perfect.

Oh god that hit me hard. My mother’s is “but I raised good children” i.e. the ends justified the means.

Yeah but you could have done it differently too! It’s not mutually exclusive!

I tried for years to decide that, and with therapy learned that was I doing it for her or me, and if for me does it really help? She’ll never change, so it does no good. Instead I keep her a healthy distance away. I still see her, but measured intervals.

To be fair, she did know how to use them

Dual license seems great. Mit for any not monetized code, if you want to monetize it that’s fine, but since you depend on the work of open sources devs, then you need to pay for a license

It’s the party of pure selfishness, they do not understand empathy. Until they themselves are affected at all, they won’t understand .

Recopying my comment. Worked in the ad industry for a short while, and yes this will fuck with their metrics, not not in an obvious way. You have to know how companies make their money to really understand why it fucks with them:

It’ll be a long game. As you “click” they’ll think you’re REALLY interested. However it won’t matter since you won’t see them.

Where you’re really hurting them is how they rely on the Click Through Rate (CTR) as a metric for more important metrics. They know that less than 0.01% of people click, but the real metric is the sales funnel. If they can prove that you saw the ad and then eventually it led to a sale? Oh marketers lose their shit over that.

So, this destroys that conversion metric. They’ll see way more click through, but the conversion metrics won’t align. That’s decades of models and algorithms that have been built to show that they’re good at that… Going to zero. That’s the metric that other companies pay gobs of money to advertising companies to prove - that their ads were not only seen but led to tangible sales.

And that’s why everyone should do this. Ad companies know you’re going to attempt to block ads, so they know if you saw it that you’re more likely to buy, and if you click then you’re so much more interested in buying. Then… No purchase, no buy, and the ad company has one less tick on their metric proving why they deserve some company’s money. This fucks with them as an industry, and I couldn’t be happier. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. After all, we’re doing what they want!

I’ve had aqara and I’ve never had it turn off randomly

Bruh you straight up had the option to just downvote and move on and instead chose this. To Blaze no less. Blaze has done more for the fediverse than most.

Great line at the end:

…Windows tries to be a friendly town for everybody and the zoning board forgot to include a neighborhood for the weirdos who build their own furniture. We don’t want to take over your town, we don’t even want to change it. We just a workshop with sharp chisels and permission to make a mess. Give us that and we’ll stop complaining about the art you choose for City Hall.

I heard my dad parrot every single one of those. Each one a perfect hit to enrage him and make him angry, each one contradicting the past, and all together show how it was always about wanting cheap labor.

Well from that image possibly adjusting the colors and taking photos on cloudy days affects how we see things

It’s been 12 years. There is no “this series” right now. There’s absolutely no way to predict it.

You mean the union busting didn’t help?

But seriously, good, better to delay then force the engineers to crunch on a subpar product.

Anchovies. Severely underrated.

I’ve frequently broken peoples brains when they’re arguing against transit and they use that. “Only poor people use transit”. I ride transit, and I make a decent living in tech. They then either make a really lame attempt at a joke like “You must not be doing that well” then or stumble and mutter and change the subject. Can’t have anything that challenges their worldview right?
