GIMP would be infinitely better if they just changed the name so we could talk about it around normal people without getting dirty looks

Sometimes when I get a call from an unfamiliar number with my area code (I don't live there anymore so it's always a scam spoofing a nearby number) I roleplay as a 911 operator and don't drop the act until they hang up, threaten them with penalties for wasting public resources and such. It's probably not strictly legal but they're calling me illegally too so i think it pretty much evens out :)

"We successfully competed against piracy and drove it to near-extinction, but now that we're enshittified we can't compete with piracy while continuing to make the obscene amounts of money that we want to make"

Why did you photoshop the image to make his face bigger?

i thought it was neat how php lets you write your website's logic with the same directory tree pattern that clients consume it from, but i didn't want to learn php so i made my own, worse version

my website's backend is made with bash, it calls make for every request and it probably has hundreds of remote arbitrary code execution bugs that will get me pwned someday, it's great

edit: to clarify, it uses a rust program i made to expose the bash scripts as http endpoints, i'm not crazy enough to implement http in bash

it behaves like a static file server, but if a file has the others-execute permission bit set it executes the file instead of reading it

it's surprisingly nice for prototyping since you can just write a cli program and it's automatically available over http too

if they sold DVDs of Netflix's shows that would actually be pretty nice, but I doubt they would be OK with allowing anyone to actually own their media.

Good, if someone is selling their labor they should be protected as an employee.

breaking news: if you spend thousands of hours building a house of cards on top of a rug controlled by a company whose best interests do not align with yours, don't be surprised when they hold your work for ransom and threaten to pull it out from under you

I think you missed a letter...

How is this better than a normal messaging protocol like Matrix? What does blockchain add to the solution?

no one has ever wanted to work, you're supposed to pay them enough that they're willing to work anyway
