I used to be an app developer before I burnt out and started a distillery

I had some software that I owned and built which had a couple of customers. I struggled to make it a commercial success but they rely on it.

It needed a big update.

Instead of just dumping it, I make it open source, with a licence that says they can do anything they want with it, so long as they don’t commercialise it and try to sell it (it’s designed to be internal business software so use that no probs) and they need to contribute any changes back to the source code…

I think it was the fair thing to do, plus it stops me needing to support it and they can see what the road ahead of fixing it is like.

I remember those copy protections. Go to page 6, line 42, word 3

I’m gonna ignore non internet based methods. Here is the evolution imo

1. BBS
2. Usenet & warez websites
3. Server client setups (Hotline etc)
4. P2P without resuming (Napster etc)
5. P2P W/resume & multiple sources (Kazaa, LimeWire etc)
6. Torrents
7. Streaming torrents
8. Usenet

Edit: I’m seeing IRC a lot, not sure where it fits in this list. Assume it’s around no 2.

Warez websites with 9/10 links broken ftw

I like seeing them try and then thinking “begone thot! There is no entry for you”

In fact, I might make a honeypot that issues exactly that

A couple of months ago I bought 148gb and it was fuck all

The security paranoid always just keep adding layers and they don’t know why.

You are absolutely right. Full transparency leads to better systems because they have to be secure by design.

The headline in the image clears up the confusion

But what about live performances?

Gay sunnies are in now because of the gay president

They kicked me off YouTube premium because “I don’t live in Istanbul”

So I’ve moved to revanced and haven’t regretted a second if it.

Side loaded a similar app on my android tv and it’s good too, plus I enjoy the spk sponsorblock so it’s actually a net positive

“are we still talking about this creep?”

He will get out if he just sucks off trunp

I’ve read multiple translations of the Tao Te Ching I don’t recall any guidance either way on sex and power.

Happy to be corrected.

Also understand that daoism is bigger than that and it may come from there.

I thought Italy went hard right wing a couple of years back?

I’m not sure my pixel has that good of protection against spam

My trajectory was win 3.11, then macos 7 & 8, then windows 98… Windows 7 > macOS again as a dev > Linux when I finally got to pick my own software and IT wasn’t what paid the bills.

Windows was always broken so you had to learn to fix shit

Mac never did quite what you needed so you had to work around stuff and try harder

… Next/Mac got me very literate with Unix

… Linux is just kinda what I know.

But Unix based macos really is an excellent os. It’s just a shame its so locked to their hardware.

I had a GUI - windows 3.11

But it was so slow. So I made my own gui/menu system that ran in dos. I was between 9-11 I reckon.

Not sure where that lands me on the spectrum of coddledness
