US universities are pro football teams with a sideline in education.

Yep, it's one of the most annoying thing about the site.

The name holds it back more than you know. No EP or AD wants to put "The GIMP" on their software list for a project. I have to have a conversation with someone ensuring we're good on all our licenses, and they ask, "What is this GIMP thing?" Answering it makes me sound like an unprofessional jackass. The company would rather just pay Adobe.

Reading this on Boost for Lemmy, which I'm glad exists, since Boost was my Reddit app of choice.

You don't get to both ignore intellectual property rights of others, and enforce them for yourself. Fuck these guys.

People who tell you to do scrum correctly are themselves not doing scrum correctly.

I can definitely get behind an AI plugin that reliably rats out AI generated content; i will love that in my browser (as long as it, sigh, is not a privacy nightmare). But all the "be smart for me" digital assistants can go eff themselves. I don't even use auto mode on my camera.

I wonder if Firefox users are more likely to spoof their user agent setting? Probably not.

I'll still use it. Compared to every other browser, it is the least disastrous regarding privacy.

Honestly, i don't get why more folks aren't enthusiastic about EVs. I got a used Bolt, and i love it. Much easier and cheaper maintenance, fewer moving parts to wear out, no gas prices drama.... never buying an ICE vehicle again.

This is why people hate liberals, and why liberals often migrate over to conservatism: no matter how right you are, there's always someone happy to crap on you for not being right enough.

Don't shit on EVs for merely being one of many solutions that all need to be engaged with. It's not like without EVs, so many people would be rushing to areas of greater density and riding public transit, so your message is not helpful in achieving what you want, and actively angers your allies.

Hate this. Every time, I seem to guess wrong.

Guess I'm a robot.

The real crime here is downloading Chrome.

Firefox, for privacy protection.
