  1. Meta's open source projects are all surprising good. It's like the company builds high quality Lego pieces, but then their consumer facing product is a house that looks like a cube with a pyramid on top, shipped glued together.

  4. I keep putting off trying to find a new podcast app. Every single thing that Google touches that works dies and gets replaced or something that doesn't work. See music, YouTube.

  5. It is incredibly ironic. We are about to experience the worst political persecution that those of us who are not straight white and Christian have ever experienced in our lives. We are terrified. The irony of their false tears about being persecuted for their grift, when some of us are about to be persecuted for who we are.

  6.  @emptydata-xf7ps  Facepalm. Not all systems are epoch based, and not all epoch based c functions where Y2K compliant. There were bugs. They needed to be fixed. They were fixed. Don't dismiss your elders.

  7. Thieves should not claim to be the victims of theft. I apply this in other areas as well.

  8. @williamdrum9899  nothing bad happened? Nothing bad happened! Don't gaslight me. I lost my father.

  10. @williamdrum9899  nothing bad happened? Nothing bad happened! Back to the first point. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were lost to a virus that your dear leader did nothing to stop. Including my father. Don't gaslight.

  11. @williamdrum9899  nothing bad happened? Nothing bad happened! Part two. Don't gaslight me. Children were put in cages, and permanently separated from their families.

  12. ​ @ccash3290 excellent point. Theft of service is still theft.

  13. Piracy is always theft, by definition.

  14. It's a good question. Ever since I've started seeing AI generation of text and images, I've been thinking about mimicry in nature. What are the motivations for mimicking another animal? The answers are often not good for the animal being mimicked.

  15.  @Niesmiesznyy  fraud is another word for a type of theft.

  16.  @lewiswood1693  That's pretty much the standard argument for open source projects at all large businesses. I look at something like kubernetes as the ultimate success story of this approach.

  17. @foobars3816  I don't understand your comment. Are you saying I'm being a bully because I get angry when someone gaslights me?

  18. At the time, I worked as outsourced IT for businesses. It was not a good time. People forget how bad malware was.

  19.  @ZedDevStuff  you don't have to love something to appreciate that it is good. You don't have to live in a country to respect that country. Lots of people like React. I love React.

  20.  @tengille  that doesn't require a tin foil hat, it's just requires you to read the terms of service.

  21. This video was extremely straightforward in an excellent introduction which completely explains the fork, the reasoning, and the value added. What part didn't you get?

  22.  @Paulo-c3n  fascinating. Rather than admit that you are ignorant, you accuse everybody else of making things up. What part of the video did you not understand? If you have no understanding of how a database works, what SQL is, what the difference between a client server database today flat file database like SQLite does, then this entire video is going to be incomprehensible to you. And that's okay. Sometimes this channel will cover things that I don't understand, or things that I didn't understand that I later understand. That's okay. Edit: sorry to be so harsh to you, and yes I did pull that comment out at the same place you found yours, and it wasn't appropriate, and I am sorry.

  23. Yeah, no. Not buying apple or meta crap.

  24. ​ @HaartieeTRUE The morality may be irrelevant in the legality, but it isn't irrelevant in every other aspect. Consumers should consume in sustainable ways, and using open source software without meaningfully giving back to the community in any way is unsustainable.

  25.  @74Gee  The problem you are suggesting is exactly the same problem that encrypting the database solves, and if fireship is correct, is in the fork. In other words, good observation and on point.

  26. I will never complain about type strictness, unless I am referring to my own code, and it's lack thereof.

  27.  @DartNoobo  I was referring to the YouTube music app, and how the Google music and podcast apps were both better.

  29. ​ @xdevs23 and I have zero obligation to be there customer, and a moral obligation to speak out against them. Don't confuse what is legal with what is right.

  30.  @Soguwe  got it. Thanks! Maybe I should screenshot it?

  33. @InSterquiliniisInvenitur  name one political rival that Biden had arrested during his time as president. Name one person that Biden had arrested when he was president. You can't, because the president doesn't arrest people! Making argument that makes sense if you want people to take you seriously m***********.

  34. @redpanda1765  My father died. Women's bodies are women's bodies. Obama was terrible on immigration too. Kids were separated from their parents forever, however, under Trump. That's just flat out evil. Biden was just as bad, overall, and Kamala Harris would have been worse on immigration than Biden was, but still not as bad as the guy who wants to create concentration camps.

  36. @redpanda1765  Trump actively has said he's going to create concentration camps. That's his promise. We are f*****.

  37. @tongpoo8985  I'm sorry that people dying makes you cringe. I'm sorry that the idea of forcing women to give birth makes you smile. Our values are fundamentally different. I have them, you don't.

  38. This is fascinating, and this video was excellent. The only observation I have is that an open stock company, publicly traded, is a thousand times better than a private equity firm, and both are pretty bad. Both of them our models for extracting capital from other people's labor, and we see that on full display in this fight. Brilliant video, keep doing what you do.

  39. Productivity increases are good for society, and in a functioning labor market are good for labor as well. Study hard, kids.

  40. I still don't understand why Microsoft didn't just rewrite all of TypeScript from scratch in web assembly. It's like they don't even care about performance. I can't believe they're using a programming language that went out of style like two seasons ago. As if!

  41. I can't. Apparently all you have to do to commit a crime in America is be white and be willing to toss Donald Trump's salad.

  42. This is exactly right.

  43.  @dancom6030  this is in fact, false. It is our implementation of the laws that ia problematic.

  44.  @dancom6030  Your starting to get it. The Sherman Act (1890) was very broad. For the last 50 years or so, it has been only enforced as official policy when "consumers are adversely affected." Under Regan, Bush, Clinton (especially), Bush, Obama, and Trump, this continued to be true. The Biden administration has changed this interpretation, and is using the original language of the act and the clear intent of congress that passed it, and is now going after Google and other targets. Edit: As for Copyright and Patent Law, this is largely self-enforced through tort. It doesn't require the Justice Department, and get's "resolved," usually in ways that are contrary to consumer interests, by civil courts. Edit 2: Anti-trust law is usually enforced in civil court by the Justice department, if at all. The original law is clear in it's intent. It used the word "felony" and I find this to be a little weird. I say, lock the bastards up.

  46.  @ヽノ-u4t  I care about morality, however. I hope you do as well.

  47.  @xdevs23  it's a very strong argument for customers to not use them. When you engage in a hostile behavior towards one of your vendors, even if the vendor is a non-profit organization that is charging you nothing, That's an argument for me not to do business with you.

  48.  @irfuel  your React skills are still in demand.

  49.  @Dipj01  then you're probably a terrible react developer.

  50. Gambling is always a scam. It's easy to understand that when you see that it produces absolutely nothing, it just takes. It is unethical, and where it is illegal, those laws should be enforced, and where it is legal, those politicians are corrupt.
