Just chilling

It’s cool, it’s probably just self extracting. For convenience!
You’re approaching the limit of possible upvotes on Lemmy pretty soon here.
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
It’ll probably be stored in something like a TPM, whose primary purpose is to make intact extraction of the keys difficult or impossible. A few keys might become compromised but in this scenario (unlike DRM decryption) it’s easy to ignore those keys. There’s always the chance an exploit becomes available and is more widely used, though, in which case it would definitely be less valuable.
Of course I avoid him. He’s me!
Plus you have plenty of time to tumble once or twice while your large codebase compiles.
It’s cool, you just have to drop a grand every year or two to enjoy that gorgeous screen. Think of it like a subscription to a 15% prettier screen for only 5x the price over 10 years.
Yeah, this is pretty textbook selection bias.
Huuuge… Tracts of land.
Do hot dogs need genders?
Just set his clock 5 minutes slow and he’ll never suspect a thing.
No rust issues on that finish!
At least you know better than socks with sandals!
If you’re color blind enough, this could be either!
I’ve thrown away all but one of each older connector before and just like clockwork, I needed two mini USB later that week. Micro? I was all set. Mini, I thought it was safe now.
I’m not saying it doesn’t suck for this person, but product market fit is a thing for open source too. If people need it they’ll use it and contribute until something better comes along. If not, your idea wasn’t the one. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Nearly my whole life runs on open source software, so it’s pretty clearly sustainable.
over the years, using “open source” has become an excuse to avoid paying for software
Um. Yes. And to be blunt: obviously. And in return, I give away software I create for free whether people need it or not, and try to give back in the form of contributions too. But I’ve never once given up my day job for it. Would that be nice? Maybe. But open source software is more frequently sustained by passionate people using and expanding it for their own projects and not by expecting people to pay you for your efforts when you’re likely not paying (nodejs, github, ahem) for the software you’re building it on anyway.
I think he’s way too smart to run for president. And he’s covered politics long enough that he also knows better.
