it's so cunning. "helping out" by making public a "security issue" (coin toss if it's valid, you figure it out lulz) and blackmailing you into free labour+advertising for them.
@baldur Though almost everything we can manufacture can be almost infinitely cheap, mostly it isn't and premium labels exist for everything (and aren't always just marketing)
@larsmb zero marginal cost (that is making a new copy of the work is free) is a completely different beast from cheap
And the effect when combined with automatically generated designs (that is code) that can also be infinitely copied for free and have limited protections from intellectual property law is likely to be a much stronger pressure to drive the price to zero.

Haiku gets multifinger touchpad taps
We're almost halfway through November, but we hadn't seen Haiku's monthly activity report for October yet. It's here now, and there's quite a few good things in here, like support for two and three-finger tap gestures on touchpads for right and middle-click, a new driver that adds Universal Flash Storage support, and even some build fixes for Haiku's SPARC port as

I should have guessed, but I honestly had no idea people in quantities thought the billionaire NVIDIA CEO who dresses like a shop in Caesar’s Palace and is making sure nobody can upgrade their gaming PC is a cool dude who we should defend enthusiastically on the internet.
@hacks4pancakes "People", or chaos bots? (Could, I know, be people repeating chaos bots, or people paid to spread chaotic disinformation, etc.)
But yeah, plenty of people willing to either be "devil's advocate" in every thread, or actually believe "hey, when I become a billionaire, I want that, too". As if anything like that is on their cards.
@evan I'm thinking It Depends
An advocacy group or social services group? Most of them should be paid I think.
Out in the community doing works? Probably a buttload of volunteers.
A member organization (think makerspace or non profit gym)? Few if any paid staff.
The next International #Workshop on Plan 9 🔧🐇 will take place in Prague at Czech Technical University (CTU/ČVUT), from May 13-16 2027.
We are calling for participation, with a scope covering the Plan 9 operating system and related ones, applications connecting to/integrating with Plan 9, system architecture, services and development, as well as file systems.

My company said they wanted me to be a Rockstar so I showed up at 2pm still drunk, trashed the break room, and then stormed out after demanding a raise.

i mean, just impeachment would've been okay with me... seems a little extreme
@molly0xfff Usually i'd agree, but i think he would not appreciate weakness. So a real warrior like him will surely choose death in battle instead of just getting the boot.

#TIL Tropospheric Ducting Propagation (facilitated by temperature inversion weather) is not limited to RF, but also works for sound waves.
I got rudely awaken by really loud jet engine sounds around 05:30 local. That's really unusual as there are no civil aviation routes are close by. We do get the occasional interceptor F-18 flying by every few months since that war got started.
This wasn't a mil jet, this was big jet airliner sound.
HEL airport is 70 km from here.

If you're having a bad day, take a moment to look at this baby red panda in a bucket. Or if you're having a good day. Or a just okay day. Any type of day is an appropriate day to look at a baby red panda in a bucket.

it's _wild_ how much basic understanding I lacked about human relationships long after I was technically an adult. even now I'm still struggling to learn how to identify which people are good for me and which ones aren't in certain ways.
autism plus narcissistic parent leaves a massive hole where one's spider sense about who actually gives a fuck vs who does not would normally be.
