  • Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

    Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

  • I think the most "pirated" software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broks the term of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there's a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn't care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.

  • Your country is going to elections and a leaked video of one of the candidates happears on social media that shows them raping a child or whatever einous stuff.

    Would you like to know if that's a real video or a foreign country is trying to manipulate your elections to favour an emerging pseudo dictator that will sell your people to someone else? I would like to.

    We are not talking about ai memes or trolls, virtually everybody get news and is influenced by stuff found on the internet. Knowing what is real and what isn't is fundamental to your functioning as a person.

  • Maybe not perfect upon conception, but after a couple of decades from common adoption, the bicycle really didn't change much. Sure, you can use lighter and more advanced materials, you can add an electric motor to it (though I wouldn't classify it as a bycicle) but you can probably take a 100 years old bike and it would work just as good as a modern one.

  • They definitely didn't have neodinium magnets, as neodinium being a lantanide metal was discovered only recently (1700s or 1800s) and requires extremely advanced (for the time) metallurgy and chemistry to extract from minerals.

  • Engineering CADs and old peripherals with proprietary drivers for me. This cannot be always solved with a VM because either they are graphically intensive or hardware passthrough just doesn't work for them.

    There's one specific case of Texas Instruments' software suite for microcontrollers: they have all the tools, the IDE and SDKs available for windows/mac/linux, EXCEPT one stupid old sdk I needed that was ONLY available on Windows for some reason, so I had to use it just for that stupid piece of drivers.

    For games I either do games that work on proton, or for extreme cased I have a VM with second GPU in passthrough, and that works quite qell, but cannot do on a work laptop.

  • Man, nobody can put "a target" on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.

    You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.

  • If there's families and non-independent kids involved, a paternity test is just a way to set tje record straight, depending on how it's handled, there could be no judgement. Remember that you know the truth, but others don't, and you can always be sure of who is the mother, but not the father, and this is biological.

  • Not all positions require outstanding motivation. If you are a project manager, sure a motivated one will probably outperform someone there just for the money that doesn't give a shit. A technician on an assembly line? It doesn't matter, you are there to operate a machine and motivation will not make you (sustantially) more productive, incentives on the other hand will (benefits, salary, less stressful working condition...)

  • Don't answer the question, ask them for specific examples on why they think you are being unmotovated or unfriendly, don't be aggressive, just pretend you simply don't understand. They'll tell you some bullshit and you can tell it's a misunderstanding. Keep a polite and friendly tone.

  • This is just weird. Why make these changes? Customers don't want it, the company doesn't profit and they actually lost money and reputation by doing this and not backtracking. Who is benefiting from this? It looks like a perfect lose-lose situation
