I've been becoming less cynic about workplace bosses and their decisions. I'm not really talking from raw workplace experience, but from noticing things I've read. I think a boss order comes from a perspective that is _probably_ right. They have an understanding that a developer _might_ not have yet, their instinct could be accurate, maybe most of the time.

>Instead what people usually do is to say "everything I do from now on is closed source. You can maintain a fork of the old version, but good luck keeping up with my version". Or alternatively "everything I do from now on is under [GPL/AGPL/similar restrictive license], if you want to use it beyond that contact me for a more permissive license deal".

Yes this is what I was describing as reasonable. "Everything after this is governed by X terms" is reasonable. But the whole thing can sound like even if you change terms, previous licenses would still apply, which would be wrong.

I want Microsoft to share the vscode extensions, but that reasoning seems weird to me. MS is hosting the extensions, they could decide what applications get access to them. But also saying anything published by mistake immediately makes it part of the current state of an open source project seems too violent. Software authors should decide the terms of their software, maybe past versions maintain the license included in them, but they are not eternal, should the author decide so.

If at some point I want to turn my application more commercial friendly by amending the license or changing it completely, and people tell me "No haha sorry you released as MIT at some point so it's now free forever mate" I would get pissed off and stray away from open source altogether. At least this is how the "you can't revoke a license" argument feels to me. But like I said, past versions that include a specific license should still be governed by that license.

Isn't the use of the vscode store extensions proprietary?

Wondering if it's possible to increase the speed on hover

I mean there's still Reddit, the chans, forums, etc, with a lot of activity, if you want to live those days again.

I'm building this whole platform with tens of thousands of lines of code, which (in my opinion) is pretty unique, I use it every day with a couple of people that visit, but it's designed to handle much more. I'm not getting anything in terms of money out of it, if anything I'm losing money by hosting and stuff. I'll leave the link here: https://github.com/madprops/Hue . Also there's other successful open source solutions that are having a big impact right now, like Mastodon, it's a very active Twitter alternative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(software)

I love IRC. Use it every day. I'm developing my own chat stack though, which supports images, video, and audio changes as core features of it.

Been working on it since 2016

Guess I'm not gonna ask why you created an account just to say that

There's something very organic about the system in his demo that feels almost surreal

Maybe not lock non-paying users, but give paying users a bigger priority and the ability to promote non-paying user's requests if they're good.

Works for me on Vivaldi 1.10.867.46 (Stable channel) (32-bit) (Windows)

This is a quote that resonated with me:

"Success is being in charge of your lifestyle and creating something you're proud of, surrounded by people you love."

Why does it needs permission to read and change data on google.com and why does it need to read my browser's history?

That's pretty cool. Got to 46 after a couple of tries. I like how you went with a chill vibe with the relaxing music. I like the concept of making the enemies grow until they explode. I found it hard to know where my cursor was, at least at first, maybe you could make it a bit more visible. Also, if it helps, I skipped the help and went straight into playing then lost a few times trying to figure out how to play.

"Users can select a “Most Recent” tab to show posts as they appear, but the setting stubbornly switches back to Facebook's algorithmically-driven feed after a certain amount of time."

Also there is 1 level of threads in comments. A reply in a post can become a thread.

I think you're not using Facebook appropriately. There are many groups and pages that keep you engaged and entertained as well as informed to some extent. You join the ones that cater your interest. I actually spend a lot of time on facebook daily because I managed to get a good selection of interesting sources. I have heard the same old tired tale that facebook is dying etc and it feels so vibrant right now. I guess some people don't realize that facebook is more than following your friends.

Also instagram is a very limited platform compared to facebook. It doesn't have a vast array of communication tools that facebook has. It's basically just sharing pictures to other people and some limited comment system.

>Old people also get tired by all these "apps" wining for your attention; they want "just a phone". Young people grew up with it.

Thanks. I just changed it almost completely. Now it doesn't rely on chance, the only randomness that occurs is the initial configuration. The rest can be predicted and mastered with skill.

Yeah, to be honest I think Ubuntu should've picked KDE. It's a more direct competitor to Windows 10 which is in my view the best desktop OS. Gnome 3 is nice, just had it installed a couple of days ago. But some things are unpolished, some don't make sense. GTK open dialogs don't even have proper image previews which has been a feature requests for a lot of years (something KDE does have).

I don't know the site to create a merchant account is blocked in my house.

Thank you for asking madprops. I think the ability to create rooms gives room to multiple dispersed mini temporary communities, these terms used because right now as it is it's not a place to be online/present all the time, but to create a space when the need be. But what I really wanted to say is that I think the fact that there is a common shared element among any room created, that being the radio, gives way to an interesting cohesion. The admin of the site can broadcast whatever it wants to all the rooms through audio when it pleases besides the regular music programming, that could be announcements, messages, news. Also the common known element can be something in common with people in other rooms, giving something in common to talk about and be part of.

So what do you plan to do with this?

I sometimes think of an advanced state of facebook where people actually get paid by how many legit likes they get. This would give value to likes like some sort of currency.

Cool, what's new in this release?

It uses Django and MySQL for the backend and JQuery for the client.
