Yeah. They made so much money in their java enterprise and they just want to get a hold in the cloud market and not get irrelevant. Their always free their is generous compared to all other clouds.

but who know, how long this will stay…

Yes, I read the article. But I was wondering on this

Oh, interesting. Is there a similar thing regarding EU citizen and gdpr? Or did they really only share US customers data?

Wait, that means that programmers are NOT single? 😂

I think something is missing there

That’s why scihub is so popular

While the idea and visualisation is indeed good, there is an error in the visualization.

Namely, the meaning of “->” is inconsistent. IMO it should be the return value of the function call (like in reverse), but for at least pop, the visualization shows the array instead of the array + return value.

For pop the return value isn’t the array itself, but the popped value: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/pop

The visualisation could be improved by clarifying, that the array after the function call is visualised. And using -> isn’t the best option IMO, because people expect the right side to contain the return value.

Indeed. While many years ago I was playing almost only League of Legends with friends every evening after school, now I’m more enjoying the quality in note/totk, Celeste, and co. I also feel like online games aren’t anymore the places where you could get to know strangers and make online friends. LoL has gotten too toxic and competitive. And Minecraft servers have a 5oo young demographic for me

thanks, I’ve actually known the video - but not the larger picture.

nevertheless, one of the most impressive and extraordinary and important clips in humanity

Wow. I had never seen the full image. thanks!

For the first and second point however, I’ve learned that whatever the others don’t know today, that’ll be my state of lack of knowledge in a few months or years. Anything that isn’t a one off script I generally document/comment because I’ve had some projects when I was young, and couldn’t work in them after a few months of break because I didn’t understand anything.

That’s when I understood, that “others” is just me in a few months.

Here’s some background information on that: https://8billiontrees.com/carbon-offsets-credits/bp-carbon-footprint-calculator/

Also, it’s not like people can just stop using cars, planes and energy and co. We also need the corresponding societal transformation to become less and less co2-intensive (plus all the other hazards like pollution etc.). This isn’t at all fixable by consumer market choices. this needs political planning, regulations, etc. But to avoid that, auch fossile fuel companies have been actively and massively putting misinformation and propaganda into the public to distract from such effective (and profit reducing) actions.

And what do you do after three years? Then the cash will be used up.

Mozilla isn’t just developing the Firefox browser. Technology is inherently political - and educating people and influencing actors politically on the free and open web is very important. Firefox is much less likely to mis-align away from their browser users than chrome simply because they don’t have the misaligned incentives like the chrome Browser which is equally made by the largest internet advertising firm of the world.

They even has created FirefoxOS for phone at some point in the past 10 years. But I don’t remember what happened with that.

I’ve yet to see any single new law proposal, that actually tackles this problem rather than misusing it’s emotional trigger to get acceptance for surveillance and control

I mean… it’s also a step back - which kinda fits the entire fiasco well

I am exactly doubting your suggestion of tax paid donations. I don’t think this will happen, unless we actually come together and try to actually enforce this on the political level in various countries.

After all, open source software is an essential and critical foundation since many decades - but I’m not sure, whether there is any government that has made a pledge to donate a certain amount of money per year into the development and funding of such general purpose software. (Maybe I’m wrong though.)

Before the fediverse can get any public funding, we need to make some political efforts. the UN is the largest such institution - and it took all the fiasco with the 2 world war to get many countries pledge to donate to it every year…

A decentralised platform like the Fediverses won’t easily work with nation states and their taxes. Even with Wikipedia today, it’s not funded directly via any government - but rather by certain universities giving some money to it + all the private doners.

And even if we get that working, power politics will mess this up like so often when things actually get troublesome.

It might be interesting to explore cryptocurrencies as for donations here though. They do have international liquidity and they can’t be misused foe power politics.

without being an expert in that, it’s hard to know what’s owned by them and what’s not…

lol, this is such an capitalistic free market response 😅
