go against their spirit
I think this is more of a failure of the license itself. It's not a good look to allow something explicitly and then go "no not like that!"

For professionals used to Photoshop, yes it is that bad. People want what's familiar because they're used to it and they're busy or lazy. They don't want to learn something new.
If GIMP wanted to increase their userbase by a million overnight, they would make it look more like Photoshop.
The problem is they and many current users are huge FOSS zealots and see this kind of thing akin to selling your soul to the devil.

Eh.. I understand exactly where they're coming from. If you're trying to make money with a product then this is something that can happen. You can argue all day long that it's no longer technically "open source", but IMO for 99% of usecases (anything that's not a Confluence integration), it still is... even still non-copyleft.
Of course there will still be people that argue open source is antithetical to capitalism in general... but not everyone agrees with you.

I just don't see the point. I can't think of any good reason to have one personally.
I would love to be proven wrong though.

Except there were scientific studies done at the time that "proved" it was safe, even as a cigarette filter. Can't really blame people for trusting that IMO.
Now I wonder what was actually so flawed about those studies.

99% of browsers and their forks also expose your real OS via javascript (navigator.platform
), even on Tor Browser. Some in the privacy community say this information is actually worthless (it could be lying), but I don't know for sure.

Not everyone wants to live in the terminal. I would argue most people don't.

Lorne is a dick, and Al is too smart for him. Playing by SNL's rules and dealing with their own writers would not end well.

you might need a time machine for that

I think if Rust people want C and C++ devs to switch over, there needs to be a lot more documentation that's easy to follow on how exactly to do that. For example with Swift there's an amazing tutorial called Swift for C++ Practitioners that step-by-step goes over all the equivalent functionality and how to translate existing concepts over from one language to the other. I think Swift at least has the edge there with familiarity because the syntax physically looks closer to C-like languages, so when that's not the case, even more hand-holding is going to be necessary IMO.

you'll still get filtered by those mods on other instances and the amount of visibility your comment has will go down. lemmy has already gotten fragmentation problems like this for similar reasons IMO

Yes, they actually CAN know those things.

I think eventually if a federated system (or particular server) gets too popular they will just defederate from everyone else and perpetuate the same problem all over again

that is the only current accepted alternative to paying for website access, yes
if you have better ideas though, we'd all love to hear them

very interesting. I'm sure someone will be along to tell me why I shouldn't care.

You might be right, but I don't think that's a problem they're going to solve all on their own, meanwhile the rest of users will suffer.
Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script. - Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python; - Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process; - Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler; - Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries; - To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple. There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt
Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? ``` curl -v --request POST \ --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}' ... < HTTP/2 403 ... ``` ``` <!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en-US"><head><title>Just a moment...</title> ... ```
I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105 Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786 Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.
My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to `/c/foo@lemmy.ml` on my own instance?
