Imagine a world where decent living was guaranteed and people were encouraged to self-development/expression (within the bounds of social norms ofc). Yeah, that could put the sapiens back into the homo pessimus.
"I can't really live in any humane conditions right now because if I convert any more of my crypto to fiat, I'll be in a 90% loss", harsh reality for some of us too.😂😂
"It's not the time anymore where you combine two API's, put in a Bootstrap dashboard, put in a bunch of blockchain and cloud keywords and sell it for ten million. Nowadays you need to at least have AI in it too."💀
3:45 Yeah, I already assumed that based on the ThinkPad. Very much appreciate the pairing of the IBM OEM keyboard, btw (neighbors must love that). This guy is living the dream. ♥ Rats notwithstanding 🐁
This is actually the big thing with FOSS, despite it being free you have to sell it to succeed. Sometimes selling something for free is harder. I agree that such people who lives for FOSS are like cultist or fanatics, because it's irrational self-sacrificial approach, but that's why they deserve more credit. Except the fanboys, they are just annoying.
i think a good balance is offering a paid license for commercial/enterprise entities, and a free license for individuals; that way the maintainers aren't completely left without compensation.
Why do you need anything inferior to a real full-travel-stroke keyboard when it can last so long? I've used mine for 22 years. Also my original DELL by Microsoft ball mouse (although the left-click is starting to get a little flaky this year.)
It's hard for me to say, but this is anonymous nets anyway. I am nearly this 'free software bro'. My childhood dream was to be a great programmer. There was considerable trauma - alcoholic parents, abuse, etc. Was taking honors programming classes but literally almost failing every other class. Had no fund, no path into college. People were telling me you go to college to learn the software, and that 'hacking' to learn wasn't appropriate. I was defeated inside, accepting that I'd have to sacrifice my dreams. Then I discovered the Debian way, and I put my heart into it. If it was successful, I would have an opportunity to learn how to use a database! Fortunately it was successful. Unfortunately, it has still been unbelievably difficult.
@@Batwam0 It has been feast and famine. The skills opened a viable path for sure. I've worked on some incredible projects and taken some really great opportunities. Other factors, I never quite found a solution to and more $$ really couldn't solve. It is a bit lonely at a certain level of success, as most peers have a completely different frame of reference in which they see the world. Some (not all) also seem to take it personally when a peer is self taught, and it becomes more evident as the career progresses.
@@nyny Keep it up man. My suggestion is to look for positive communities that support you and forget about the elitists that try to pull you down. Academic success does not matter at all if your code is better.
The problem of Free Software is not that you don't make any money, but that people expect "Free" to mean that you don't have to pay for it ;) (hint to the unknowning: Free Software can totally be commercial)
@@alexhiatt3374 What do you think the percentage of users is that would compile software from source? Paying for the convenience of officially supported binaries is a pretty good trade-off for most people.
I charge for my time developing software for in-house use and providing support, on top of a Free Software stack. Some of that Free Software is my own.
You can sell cd's, usb's or anything else containing that software. You can build your own stuff based around that software and in some licence cases directly upon that software. You can make a proprietary OS and sell it while ONLY inclusing FOSS components inside. You would be selling the combination of such packages in such case.
okay there's a 50% chance i get cancelled for this but... surprisingly relatable - use artix (arch is too mainstream + systemd is bad because everyone says it is + s6 is an _absurdly_ solid piece of software) - i don't use irc, i only have a websocket chat server where http + websocket + the server itself + mimetype detection are written in pure lua - bouncers? channels? nicknames? that's for the weak - this is a joke please don't cancel me (not invented here syndrome is a heck of a drug) one major difference i'd like to point out: - sunlight is a big no no, where i live at least. - if it's shining onto the screen you can't see anything - if it's shining on the rest of the room you can't see anything
Same. I also don't get how it can be a cult when the whole point is customization. It's not like we have arcane rituals or holy texts that demand strict adher *Oh I forgot about the Arch Wiki and explicitly the Installation Guide.*
@@cylemons8099 Oh, the guide itself is fine. The issue is that any time you have a problem with an Arch install the first question anyone will ask you is "Did you follow the install guide?" and if you say you followed, say, a RU-vid tutorial, the way they'll treat you *you'll wish* that they'd burn you at the stake instead.
So I have no idea what the website linked in the description is but it seems cool. I fully support independent platforms for funding content and so on, but I...uh...have no idea what that website is? Like there isn't an 'about' page or anything like that. Unless being intentionally obscure and undocumented is a part of the joke, I'd suggest maybe making it a little more accessible lol. Or maybe make a video describing it. If I get a better idea of what it is I'll consider joining.
looks like it's vimeo's version of youtube subscribers. and it's kinda sorta mentioned in the first line of the description, "our vimeo OTT channel" (OTT means streaming video over the internet instead of over satellite/cable, apparently) for the kids that don't know what vimeo (and dailymotion) are, they're other, pretty old, video sharing websites. (yes, services other than youtube did exist back then)
TLDR: rant that went from "i use arch btw" to "use my superior arch" I used arch too btw. But Alpine is overall superior. No systemd, uses musl instead of glibc, runs everywhere and in any configuration, needs less resources, and has updated packages and a community repository without the rolling breaks that arch advertises as a feature. And unlike arch where i have to read at least 2 pages of documentation to understand how something work before installing and configuring it, Alpine has pre-configured packages and install scripts for everything (like xorg-setup-script if i want to install xfce), so everything is 10 times faster to setup.
Gitcoin will save us! For real, gitcoin can be a sane way of funding OSS based on contribution quality. Hopefully we develop a good system in the future
FreeBSD, + they FreeBSD is not a linux distro, I use FreeBSD because its more minimal, its fast, it has amazing documentation, good package management, good community, clean code, fun, fun, fun
Even though I appreciate the effort this man makes and will always be his fan, this one wasn't as funny as most of his other videos. I am waiting for part 2.
