Identity is now pushed as the precondition for writing software... This should not be acceptable!

Many of the FOSS apps we have today are a result of hobby projects, curiosity. The research on who builds open source has been clear for at least two decades as well (2005). A study by Lakhani and Wolf, covering 684 developers across 287 projects, found contributors spending an average of 14 hours a week on software they give away for nothing. Some gave far more. When the researchers asked why, the answer wasn't for a career or money, but for meaning - how the work made people feel.

For Google, any app is a commercial point. For FOSS developers, building is its own reward. They do it unpaid, in their own time, for anyone to use.

Time to exit Google's stack entirely.

Actually I haven't seen such divide!
The divide has been more along the axis of folks who see possibilities beyond bouncing balls, and folks who don't (either due to lack of domain experience, or too much exp that made them overfit. Overfitting can cause cynicism during shifts)

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@parim @volklub Care to explain further?

@Nivedkannada @volklub That seems very low for a MS car. Or is it the driving style?

if you strip away everything transitory, you’re kinda left with only one brutally simple question:

can we actually talk?

most ppl optimize for attraction, stability, shared goals, etc. but what if they are optimizing the wrong eigenvectors entirely? in its most primitive form life is just one very long conversation.

Shri @nitin_gadkari,

You don't give direct answers to direct questions, instead, you deflect with lines like “mere against hitjob hai” or “paid propaganda hai” to media channels.

Again asking a few direct questions. If you can answer these satisfactorily, directly, through media, or even via your influencer campaigns, promise I won’t raise E20 petrol issue again.

1. Why fast-track E20? The original plan was to implement E20 by 2030. That timeline made sense because, by then, most vehicles on Indian roads would be E20-compliant. Accelerating it so quickly is like launching 6G services when no 6G phones exist yet. This is not like polio eradication, where early achievement deserves praise. There was no pressing reason to push it ahead of schedule. Even NITI Aayog had reservations about rushing it.

2. You said there’s no car damage due to ethanol blending “world over.” That’s because other countries match fuels with compatible vehicles. Brazil rolled out E20–30 only after most vehicles became compliant and still offered E0–E10 for older ones. E20 cars on E20 are safe; non-E20 cars, which form the majority in India, are not. India is probably the only country that created this mismatch. If E-20 doesn't damage the non-compliant cars, like you claim, why is there even need for E-20 complaint cars then?

3. Why hasn’t fuel price reduced as you promised? Instead, mileage has gone down, so people are paying more for the same distance.

To summarise, we have no issue with E20 itself, only with how it was implemented. Please answer these questions. And no, saying “we did it for the benefit of farmers” is not an answer. If you want to help farmers, do it through your budget, people are already paying enough taxes for that, don’t cut into ordinary citizens’ pockets or damage their vehicles. "To become self reliant fast" is also not an answer. In that case, non compatible vehicles given E5-10 option would not have stopped you from becoming self-reliant. If you can’t answer, at least don’t call us paid propagandists. You are one of the most powerful ministers; if you truly believe this is a paid hit job, then investigate and prove it. Who’s stopping you?

@WokePandemic It's funny how the Mi'lords behave like Hindi is some second tier language after practicing the literal constitution that was written in the Very Hindi Language.
Lowlives preaching lows, and wannabe high-society behaving like gods.

Hello @ST_World @MouserElec
We ordered batch of STM32 MCU from both STMicro and mouser. They have CHN on the MCU. We opted for TW COO and the same is mentioned on all documentation and invoice. Now both STMicro and mouser support say CHN is not China. What does it actually mean?

Taleb's first punch:

Most people are Fooled by Randomness.

They mistake luck for skill.

Survivors for experts.

Stories for truth.

We don’t see the 1,000 failed traders—

Only the 1 who “made it.”

& we confuse that survivor with a prophet.

The British went from a people that would enact independence by warfare against their fellow countrymen, over tiny-by-comparison taxes and lack of representation for it..

To a people that permit own government to shear them like sheep, disregard representation once in power (breach of public trust in office), while forcing them to be paying accumulatively over many direct, indirect and by-proxy taxes, close to 70% of their earnings.

These are all symptoms of the real problem at hand...

The British majority has lost its spine, courage, and spirit;

By so doing, the establishment has taken far too much control over them; extorts them with its position of trust (utilised only as a position of force against them).

People like Rupert are a breath of fresh air in that regard.

[Scott Lewis @WarriorSpeech28]

Burning religious books shouldn’t happen, not the Quran, not the Bible.

But let’s be clear, it’s not a crime.

In Britain, we have watched Bibles burned, churches defiled, and Christian symbols mocked in the public square without a whisper from the establishment.

Free speech does not exist to protect polite agreement, it exists to defend the right to offend, to challenge, to defy.

You cannot have a free nation where one religion’s sensitivities are law and another’s are trampled.

Britain must remain a nation of courage, not censors or we will lose not just free speech, but the very backbone of our civilisation.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

This is Britain. We do not have blasphemy laws, and we must not have blasphemy laws.

Burning the Quran is not a crime.

Free speech means protecting the right to offend, including Islam.

More politicians should have the courage to say so.

I got my first one with the new, improved, 2-clause WTFPL. The clauses are:

0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.

1. Anyone who complains about this license is a nerd.

He complained about the license, and is therefore a nerd.
