xenago··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
I don't really understand this. There was a known bug and it was shipped anyway? I must be misunderstanding
xenago··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
That's exactly the goal
xenago··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Only developers care. The users don't even know what sideloading is. This will successfully kill off the single remaining freedom users have.

This is the final nail in the coffin for personal computing
xenago··on After 20 Years, Math Couple Solves Major Group Theory Problem
Edge and Firefox both replicate the issue. It is on all browsers
xenago··on Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control of the James Bond franchise
Well, it was a good run. 25 films ain't bad!
xenago··on A cryptocurrency scam that turned a small town against itself
There was nothing stopping a gullible manager from just ... transferring all the money away? uh

What an awful webpage. They hijack the click and right click actions. Can't triple click to select a paragraph. Can't drag selected text. Ugh
xenago··on Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin resigns from Linux kernel
I feel the exact same. Marcan has done amazing work, and his random blog entries etc have saved me hours of debugging time in the past. But jeez, it is really painful to see him say absolute nonsense like "If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas." - he has gotta Stop Posting and keep those kinds of thoughts away from his keyboard.
xenago··on Secure Custom Fields by WordPress.org
Spamming nonsense isn't a good look...
xenago··on Secure Custom Fields by WordPress.org
Forking it is whatever, but to take over their namespace and thus break trust across the ecosystem is a dealbreaker. All devs will have to move.
xenago··on Secure Custom Fields by WordPress.org
So, wordpress is being burnt to the ground by Matt. Just great. :/
xenago··on The ACF plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress.org
Much better title, thanks
xenago··on The man who killed Google Search?
Sometimes the tone is warranted. Destroying internet search for profit warrants scorn of all kinds. Zitron was too kind
xenago··on The man who killed Google Search?
A lot of words to say 'I think it's ok to follow orders blindly and torch valuable technologies'. Gomes had principles, you and Raghavan do not.
xenago··on Why AWS Supports Valkey
The only misleading framing here is your comment, and redis claiming anything about their license is good for users.
xenago··on Why AWS Supports Valkey
It makes perfect sense. They claim all these benefits to users for these non-foss licenses and then themselves avoid them like the plague
xenago··on Why AWS Supports Valkey
They're total hypocrites! For instance Graylog switched to OpenSearch to reap the benefits, but themselves push the awful SSPL on their users.

I have no respect for these organizations. Provide real open source software or start up closed from the get-go, don't build on community contributions for a while and then switch to closed while marketing as being open!

xenago··on The race to replace Redis
Opensearch has been great so far, no issues ever since deploying the very initial forked version. Neither of those links seem like dealbreakers, am I missing something? Is the idea that opensearch is not usable in production because of missing autocomplete?
xenago··on Redis adopts dual source-available licensing
Most people must know that redis inc didn't create redis right??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redis_(company)?useskin=vector

It's funny and hypocritical that a corporation, which used the very terms of the license they now seem to hate in order to come into existence in the first place, is closing that exact path out.

xenago··on Sourcegraph is no longer open source
Right. A license change like this being done in such a silent manner would lead me to drop usage of this product if I wasn't already avoiding it due to their dubious non-foss principles.
xenago··on Sourcegraph is no longer open source
> charge companies while making tools for individual devs open source

Stop using the term Open Source. It's not open source if you apply restrictions like this, it's pretty easy to see that you're being disingenuous. These licenses are not OSI approved.

xenago··on Rarbg Is No More
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your project. Magnetico is also integrated into Jackett I believe, which might be helpful to some people who use that
xenago··on Updating our inactive account policies
A pity their actual announcement says otherwise
xenago··on Updating our inactive account policies
Many (most?) classic viral videos from abandoned accounts will be deleted, if this policy comes into effect.
xenago··on Updating our inactive account policies
It has been reported that they will not be reusable for exactly that reason.

Oof. The end of YouTube as we know it
xenago··on Fetish tabooness vs. popularity

People are taking this seriously? SMH

xenago··on The Blind Spot
Great piece. Hard to ignore these impacts. Healthcare collapse is underway here in Canada
xenago··on Riff, automatically provide external dependencies for Rust projects
This looks like a really good idea for solving that pain point
