There are basically two types of files. Text files and binary files.

Most information are stored in text files so humans can easily understand it, and it’s easier to find errors, review, parse. But text storage takes more space than binary files. And many complicated softwares normally need multiple text files or data files, many of them just store them together as a zip file so that it’s easier to handle. Examples are .docx,.pptx, etc files in MS Office, try unzipping them and see what they contain. Zipping also has advantages of reducing file sizes.

He edited it so now his account is no longer marked as bot. Maybe you’ll see others. Try searching for lemmy bots.

I’m on voyager. It shows up as an lil robot icon.

Yeah, I knew it wasn’t a bot reply, but since I thought you marked it as such it was a fun comment.

So the AI boom has made the bots depressed too huh …

But if everyone is using it to mean something new then we need to record that.

That seems like a wonderful function. Considering android support external mouse with cursors. I hope someone can make a FOSS version and put it in F-droid.

Please give me a couple millions.

Without open sourcing it, it would probably been hard to market it and keep improving it though. Like if Linux was not open source project it probably would have had the same fate so many other OS before it had.

Yeah it is sad that we don’t have flash. But today I saw there’s a program Ruffle (written in Rust) that can run flash, and add support to browser through extensions or something.

Considering they made it so that you need apple issued usb-c, and have problems with normal one (probably fixed now because people obviously complained). I’d say avoiding it is a good choice.

Losing access to a work I put hours and days, sometimes months of my life was the main reason I now absolutely refuse any non-open source products. My advisor/colleagues sometimes say “university gives it for free”, or “we pay all that money for this softwares”, but I am not going to use them even if they are slightly better than open source.

This. Think of Bill gates, and think of Linus Torvalds. Inspiration to make money can only do so much. There’d be a lot more people making awesome stuffs today if large corps didn’t just buy any small tech company making anything that could be used. Sometimes they buy them and use it, sometimes they buy is and then ensittify it so people will have no choice but to use things they want.

Do I know something to play it. When I tried, it was way complex or something. Couldn’t understand what’s going on or what I’m supposed to do.

It’s hard to screenshot dreams because you are in your dreams and have very low conscious control over your real body.

But you can start the screen recording before you goto sleep so that it’ll be recorded automatically. You can extract frames. Good luck.

You know how people say “Devil you know is better than God you don’t”?

Excel is that Devil people know. It’s not the best tool for a lot of stuffs but it let’s people do things.

I saw a co-worker generate sequence for formula in excel for another cell in excel. They wanted to do average of all January data, instead of averageif/sumif/countif etc, they generated a sequence a1+a13+a25… And used excels’ drag down thing to make the formula. I’m like who could even verify it.

If there was an easy way to use rust or something on webassemly and use that instead of JS. I’d be so happy, but I can’t find how to do it without npm.

I think that’s why Github suggests MIT as default. Unaware people will just put that. Most open source people just code things they want without thinking much on other aspects. We really need some sort of enforcement to stop companies banking on voluntary work done for the community.

You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don’t have to pay yourself

That sounds like too much work, and what if there are clouds. We should make devices that can be calibrated when you’re in a certain location based on their standards and then the device will continue to show that locations’ shadow location without the sun.
