Then you just wait until somebody enters in.
When the person opens the door you run to them and yell “wait wait wait” while frantically gesturing. After you enter - say quick “thank you” and disappear.

Well, then you have to find another name for that kind of software and define it that way. I certainly would support such an effort, i.e. to make software available to everyone at no cost.

There’s no need to come up with new terms or change the existing ones. Free software is inherently can’t have a price without the restriction put in place to require you to pay it. Here’s a quote from www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html :

With free software, users don’t have to pay the distribution fee in order to use the software. They can copy the program from a friend who has a copy, or with the help of a friend who has network access. Or several users can join together, split the price of one CD-ROM, then each in turn can install the software. A high CD-ROM price is not a major obstacle when the software is free.

Free software can have a price, but paying it is optional.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paying people to work on open source is good actually⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I mean that free software is inherently can’t have a price. Even if you provide source code only to your users, they are free to share that source code for free. Thus there can’t be piracy because piracy of free software is inherently allowed. And if you try to prevent your users from sharing the source either legally or with drm - you add restrictions to software, making it less free for your users. The recent situation with RedHat provides good demonstration and example of this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paying people to work on open source is good actually⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

It’s free as in freedom, not as in free beer.

But you can’t have one without the other. Putting a cost on software is adding a restriction, thus making it less free (as in freedom).

Free software should be available to everyone, even to people who don’t have money to pay for it (poor third world countries, students, kids). I’m not against paying for software, but it never should be a requirement.

I personally believe, that you should pay for software that helps you earn money. For everything else - it’s everyone’s own decision to donate or not, based on a financial situation, beliefs, political position and what not.

Yes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FLOSS communities right now⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

only a small number will sign up for a specific forum

Most people don’t have to sign-up, 90% of cases should resolve on just searching the problem. Good chances it was already asked and answered. Most of the time, forums with few users aren’t dead, they’re just really slow, whenever you post a question - expect at least 12-hour delay. I’ve never seen a message on Discord answered 12 hours later - you either get somewhat instant response or it’s ghosted forever. Also good luck asking questions if there’s heated/rapid discussion in the room, or you have a little time and other responsibilities other than checking discord every couple minutes.

It’s Nim, but I really doubt you can’t do this in Rust:
```
var seeds = lines[0].split(":")[1].splitWhitespace().mapIt(it.parseInt)
```

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FLOSS communities right now⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I would accept discord over mailing list. But nothing beats a proper forum website. And no, subreddit is not a proper forum.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let’s try it?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I thought about this for some time. An anarchy would always collapse into governed state.

First, imagine the perfect scenario where there no authority and world is just a lot of tiny city-sized communities. It would take just a single bad actor to form a state, start invading neighboring communities and growing in power. In response - other communities would be forced to group into increasingly bigger states to have a chance to oppose influence from bigger/richer states.

This thought experiment also works if violent takeover is replaced by economic one. Think of cartels and monopolies.

I love every single game these guys make, but World of Goo is definitely in my top 10 games of all time.
I can’t even believe they’re making a sequel. It’s the dream comes true.
Going to replay the original in 100th time.

No way… I remember seeing this comment ~10 years ago. I’ve been trying to search for it occasionally through past 5 years. I didn’t remember the guy’s nickname, only the concept and that it’s Youtube’s ‘constant/rule’. Couldn’t find even a mention anywhere. I legit thought I made it up or it’s the Mandela effect.

Thank you! I can now live in piece.

Try libredirect, it automatically redirects links from twitter, youtube, imgur and many other spying platforms to alternative privacy friendly frontends. It is also very customizable: you can turn only some redirects and configure what particular site to use for each platform.

Someone should make a standard for non-intrusive, not spying, ethical ads (no clickbaits, no contrasting colors, related to the article).

Adblocks would have websites that strictly follow these guidelines in a whitelist by default (opt-out).

That’s the middle ground. But, I doubt any big ad company like Google or Meta would implement it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I use Metager - it’s FOSS and also has an option to filter out choosen domains from the search results.

Or better yet, use z or zoxide:
“z down” will fuzzy match the “~/Download” folder.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster hunter in a nutshell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Look at how his left hand is ‘attached’ to the body, almost like an action toy figure.

Pretty sure AI has higher res.

Lots of compression is very common way to hide imperfections in photoshopped (and now AI-generated) images to pass them as real.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unpaid community work is best!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Actually, Librewolf team set up recently a poll “should we move to Codeberg?”. And this was one of the reasons for migrating.

P.S. Full list of issues with gitlab:
- gitlab.com seems to require credit card information for new users signing up, which is not really great if people just want to report bugs.
- gitlab.com uses Cloudflare, which for a few weeks locked out LibreWolf users from accessing gitlab.com in the past.
- GitLab requires Javascript even to just look at issues, which is not the case for Codeberg
P.S.S. They did move their codebase to Codeberg as a result.

In russian we have a phrase “грибной дождь” (mushroom rain) for light warm rain in the sunshine. It’s the best weather for mushroom growth and is therefore a sign to go harvest them in the woods soon.
