This is actually pretty interesting. Is there something similar specifically for linux?
It's only an apology in the manner of soulless corporate jargon then. A generic statement following a personal/directed insult does not count as an apology.
Edit: also the following
> (Note: I've iteratively edited this post, as it was originally a one-sentence diatribe written in anger. I originally asked, "I just don't know what else he's asking for here. Credit? Us to die screaming?" It was not a good look.)
I think your comment and it's different iterations demonstrated very well how you guys (still) feel about this.
This could just be another case of a problem being solved by hitting the news and making enough waves.
Sure they did the right thing, but it was still their active wrongdoing and I won't attribute their reaction to them being decent people. I'm tired of all the DMCA abuse, and reverting it for once isn't worthy of special praise. It makes HackerRank better than other DMCA abusers, but DMCA abusers they still are.
You only gave an explanation of why you are a fan of Musk and why you don't agree with (any?) of his critics, not why his angry reactions to critics and attempts to shut them down are OK. Or did you want to say that this is just "for the greater good", and thus should be judged by different rules?
He claims to be a defender of free speech for everyone, but he's clearly not able to handle free speech when it comes to him.
This, together with Musk personally pursuing people out of what can only be described as pettiness, is why I have a hard time imagining him not abusing his new power to silence people he does not like.
A person that sends private investigators after rescue personnel that doesn't want to participate in his PR stunts [1] just to dig up any dirt on them, personally cancels Tesla orders of bloggers [2] and calls the bosses of critics to silence them [3]. Musk is all about "cancelling" people if he doesn't like them, and the bar for that is very low if you include all of his childish tantrums on Twitter and how he sends his always angry (and cultish) fanbase to harass anyone over the slightest comments he interprets as negative.
Free speech under Musk will probably only be applied very selectively.

AppImage is the only one of those three solutions I find adequate so far. But ultimately native packaging is still the best.
Well, unfortunately we aren't on the old internet though, are we? Before we talk about this approach we would need the tools to take timeline and personal content moderation in our own hands. This, however, isn't in the interest of Twitter, algorithmic timelines and ad/outrage shoveling in general and thus it probably won't happen.
I wouldn't even be surprised if excessive blocking would lead to your account getting flagged.
You are basically criticizing people for not building their own functional shack while all they have at their disposal is a bunch of timber of varying quality and merely a few rocks as "tools".
Your comment comes off as very dishonest. How does this quote summarize "everything I need to know". The quote you show appears to be out of context, I followed your link and that it appears to be a conclusion following a number of points explaining why, for the author, Rust's safety feature is apparently not enough to counterbalance it's flaws.
I don't fully agree with the points there (I enjoy Rust), but what does criticizing Rust have to do with "not understanding memory safety"?
Can you elaborate on why somebody has to appreciate Rust? Because I don't see it. Rust is not a religion and we shouldn't treat it as such.
Correct, but journalists, politicians and companies do, which is all it needs. Twitter has been way more influential than it deserves to be for a while now.
I really doubt his and his companies' hiring practices support this claim even in the slightest.

It wasn't even that long ago when we had at least some of those options via external clients.
That was until Twitter started to dismantle that possibility and limited external clients much more heavily.
If I notice a negative pattern or drop in quality I simply unfollow, that's it. It's the big advantage over Facebook, the relationships are not bi-directional for me as an average user.
In short: I get a quality experience and lots of useful information from Twitter because I only follow people that tweet quality content and useful tweets.
However I do have to mention that the algorithmic timeline IS really bad, so I do feel like Twitter is constantly fighting me and trying to turn my feed into polarizing crap.
I'm not a big fan of the common "it could work nicely if its just done well" in a world where nobody really does it well.
Chronological timeline is one of the biggest advantages compared to Twitter.
And yes I do follow a number of people on there. Algorithmic timelines are the worst.
Had this book on my "to read" list for a while. Given that it appears to be more rigorous than my previous contact with the world of rendering, and since this is just a hobby of mine:
What pre-knowledge (topics, math, other sources or books) offers a solid preparation to fully tackle the pbr book?
Depending on the topic you can easily call it victim blaming too.
This implies that ads means paying/sutaining for the service, and no ads means not paying/sustaining.
This hasn't been the case for a long long time. Even paying customers get ads piled on them. Sure for many sites ads is the whole business. But there are also many business that
1. Never had a business plan to begin with, even the ads won't sustain them. The goal is just to be bought by a bigger company or become a loss leader and then "figure it out later".
2. The goal is to maximize profits by any means necessary even with paying customers upon which a sustainable business could be built. But instead we get dark patterns, abuse of user data and ads.
"just so we can say fuck you Putin"? Really? That is how you are attempting to frame the situation of a clear victim defending itself against an aggressor that has been appeased for years now?
So you believe that the attacking entity should always win, no questions asked? Is conflict to be avoided at all costs? Can I come into your home and just claim your house if I threaten to escalate with violence? You wouldn't want any conflict, so the right move would be to just give it to me.
How can you not love it?
Also I noticed that they typically employ a very common pattern in which the headline makes a truly big claim (e.g. "10 year old invents cheap way to purify any water source"), then afterwards it turns out that this claim is far from accurate (e.g. the child did not invent it himself, had massive help and while the solution technically works it is in not feasible at all in the way the headline suggests).
Once it is noticed that the claim is false in the way it is presented the article then gets defended by pointing out that a child that young coming into contact with such a project is still impressive, which is again technically true but ultimately comes off as a dishonest deflection.
