Hey, at least they promote Lemmy!
Fair enough. Although, for those reading at home, I'll reiterate the distinction between nonprofit and charity; all charities are nonprofits, not all nonprofits are charities. Research universities are an example.
On that note, I guess I'm enough of an academic to not consider grants a "gift" ... It's not consumerism-driven revenue, but it's hard to call it a gift when you're on the hook to produce something (research papers & prototypes) that you then turn around and use to sell for more revenue (in the form of grants).
Being a "non-profit" doesn't mean the company "shouldn't make profit" ... It means that the owners/investors don't earn anything extra based on profit. The organization itself still needs to be financially sustainable.
As shady as Mozilla is, they're competing against a functional monopoly, so the playing field is hardly fair.
Completely agreed. At one point, maybe 12 years ago, I remember trying to learn NP++'s macro system. It was better than whatever we had at the time, but I'm glad I didn't spend more time than I had to. Just a couple months ago, a coworker was raving about how great NP++ macros are ... to do a task handily solved by some light regular expressions and/or column edit mode. Both REs and CEM are far more ubiquitous concepts than some bespoke, domain-specific language for defining repetitive tasks.
Clearly this is a controversial statement. I'm team "use what's available and preference tools that get the job done quickly."
I work in several different languages. VSCode has TreeSitter and a bevy of slick plug-ins. NP++ does not. I can use VSCode on both Windows and Linux. If I've got a desktop environment, I will hands down pick VSCode over NP++ every time.
Otherwise, let's be real, NeoVim is king.
Uhh I'm in the same boat... I wouldn't call myself a "conservative" ... I just was looking for an instance that wasn't completely full. If there's some Nazi shit going on here, I'm out.
If it's used as an identifier to link together rows from different tables. Also known as "joining" tables. SSN (with birthdate) is a unique identifier, and so it's natural to choose as a primary/foreign key.
I fear signal has to be mentioned a thousand times from all directions before they "trust" it.
Yes. A thousand times yes. The risk profiles humans naturally adapted to are not well aligned with the artificial risk profiles we see today. I can't fault someone for not transcending their own natural instincts, because heaven knows I can't.
Signal is licensed under AGPL.
Then nuance is dead and nothing is good enough.
Okay, so the Apache license is a "closed source" license?
