Any good options for 4k video editing around $1500? Looks like a Legion 5i would be decent, but I worry about its longevity.

in fact the bug bounty programs are incredibly cheap you get the best of best hacking your stuff and submitting fixes for few thousands which for big companies might as well be pennies
like remember they're paying h1b jeets hundreds of thousands per year to pretend to be working or vibecode some retarded broken shit because the big companies have been turned into h1b scam pipelines where jeet HRs recruit their own from india and get kickbacks from the salary, they're looting the companies for millions and millions in salaries

meanwhile some actually mega skilled coder from eastern europ doesnt get paid any salary but only for results and he gets paid few thousand per some critical bug and does more for the company than 10 salaried jeets do for fraction the price

well no shit dumbass. GPL is based on the correct principle that NOT distributing the source along with the binary requires either social or technical hacks or both that do not need to be tolerated. GPL assumes no distinction between source and binary except possible user convenience and distribution pattern. there is no technical difference, they are both "the software" so they by all reason should both be distributed to anyone the software is available to.

NOTHING in GPL prevents you from closed betas, only collabing with a small group, only releasing to a small group of users. and says nothing about keeping secrets. you can keep all the secrets you want. but to whomever you give the software out, DO NOT use slimy tricks against them to restrict their access to only a side-effect of your code (compiled binary). you are doing them a disservice.

>>107596484
any proof?

>>107598251
Trade secrets are a different law entirely. The GPL does not give any rights to trade secrets, because it's a copyright license. If someone is caught leaking trade secrets, then it's a matter for that area of law. Not for copyright.

Fuck trying to convince people to promote you. Do interviews and leave, they’re never gonna offer you a raise like that.

>>107598742
They bought me a car in cash because my old car died on me a couple weeks before they promoted me. I don't think asking for $20k more when I've shown my worth is asking for a lot. They've also doubled our team size in the last 6 months so there's clearly money floating around

>>107598757

Well there’s no shame in asking, frame as like “what do I need to do to get a raise? i did x, y and z”. If you get a no, leave.

is anyone doing any work this close to christmas? i just sit around watching tv all day with teams open

Its a regular one, can't really afford the touch, but from my experience with mobile tablet, touch activate too much when I have my palm on it, but if you are one of those real ones that draws having your palm off the screen then you'll have a good time.

I had a 16 for a long time, and its kind of touch and go (I had the issue where it'll periodically lose signal) but now pro-pen 3 just feel more reliable in general. They finally have a sensible output, but its idiotic for them to use mini-HDMI ports but not include the cable in the box. This particular model will require at least two cable coming out of it if you have Thunderbolt. It needs 100 watts of power so it have a separate power cable and thunderbolt for monitor and data.

Since I have a typical AM4 built, I still need to use a hdmi to mini-hdmi cable, but not having the whole "3-in-1" cable they used to use makes cable management a lot better because power had to go a different area.
Its big and really heavy, like 11lbs, so really locks down what type of desk arrangement you can have

however, its size is a real luxury because you can actually include color management and additional navigation elements on the screen along side typical tool palettes. Although I'll be honest I don't use as much of its real-estate to draw as I had hope, so I think a 16 might be a more practical size. I think Movink is smaller than that, but its a real one-cable experience if you have thunderbolt.

in summery;

1. its big, heavy, size is luxurious but more than I needed,
2. require mini-hdmi cable purchase separately if you don't have thunderbolt.
3. good color and resolution, but only 60 hertz

>>107596831
An incredibly autistic (good) interpretation of the KISS principle. Basically Calamares is unneeded when we have archinstall.

>>107598104
I would agree if archinstall would at least have the same amount of features as Calamares. But there's no option to select packages and DEs only available through meta packages which is retarded. So if you don't like bloat, archinstall is only good for a base installation and you have to set up the rest by yourself.

>marx doesnt really explain shit on how to get to communism

I know he barely wrote about communism's end result but we have clues. He described it as a stateless classless society without a division of labor. But he does explain partially how to get there. We know he called for a shift of class consciousness to get people to realize the great battle of workers vs bosses, unite and for workers to seize control of the GOVERNMENT then use state force. Where he was not clear Lenin took over with a vanguard interpretation. I agree Lenin wasn't following him 100%

Also why would Proudhon, Bakunin and others critique Marx for a centralized state leading to authoritarianism, why would Tucker say Marx was an ally of equality but very strong foe of liberty? The soviet union proved it was a hell.

The reason I disagree with you on [not explaining shit on how to get to communism] is

Wikipedia: The phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat" was first used by Karl Marx in a
series of articles which were later republished as The Class Struggle in
France 1848–1850.^[7] The term dictatorship indicates full control of the
means of production by the state apparatus.

Marx barely wrote about a communist utopia for the same stupid ass reason the Christian bible barely describe heaven in detail. Heaven is frequently mentioned in the bible but rarely described what its like there and the pleasures in it about it. At least Buddhist fleshed out their heaven realms leaving less to the imagination. But Buddhist don't view heaven as an ultimate escape from Samsara

My point is whenever flamboyant politically motivated college students day dream. They imagine the perfect luxury society which they don't have words for. They just loosely describe it with blissful emotions where everything is free, everyone lives in harmony without war and has universal education free government healthcare and not to mention "conquering the oppressive white patriarchical cis gender heteronormative system" Glossing over real world conflict and ignoring the natural world's clues on why society is a mess. Instead just blame it all on capitalism and say the alternative communism is a loose fairy magic enchanted land of pleasure. Marx was doing the same thing with communism with his end of history story or with that anti division of labor quote where he talks about someone post utopia hunting in the morning, fishing in the evening and rearing cattle in the afternoon. I believe the division of labor is the natural result of humans moving to agricultural societies from hunter gatherer and realizing some people are better at certain skills and dividing labor = better survival. But instead Marx thinks its exploitation and oppression. In example I am skilled at image processing with GEGL I don't have a fucking clue how to take care of farm animals and if I did I'd need to put 100s of hours of work to learn how to do it sufficently.

Because FOSS is dictated by very obnoxious people (including but not limited to actual communists, proud tranny pedophiles, corposhills etc.) , who share the same principles as people that you would commonly call communists. Most people who are into FOSS software are very left-leaning, they tend to be very pushy in their opinions and absolutely love to power-trip. RMS is insufferable communist kike that wants you to get the jab, wants everyone to wear the mask and made plenty of questionable statements regarding "voluntary pedophilia". He and his peers are now being replaced by even more obnoxious people, who want mandatory IUDs for 14year olds,claim that your skills don't matter if you refuse to suck tranny CoC(k), ban people from their infra when they develop something they dislike, wipe entire communities over minor slap fights etc. Most commonly, they don't even try discussing with you, because they think that they are ultimately always correct, their opponents are evil chuds and need to shut up. Thats one of the reasons I left FOSS behind, since I do not want to rely on any software thats maintained by my enemies, who might decide one day that evil chuds need to get their drives wiped by a package that they maintain, or in less extreme case, make us create some weird environmental variables expressing support to their shitty opinions (in fact the latter happened already with developers forcing you to set up environmental variables expressing support to Ukraine).

>>107599590
My other issue with FOSS is that technically, and unconsciously,it is against real ownership. The way that installing software works on linux makes it very challenging to manage your software without access to the internet and connecting to the external repositories that reside on someone else's computer, which is, controlled by the previously mentioned commiepedotroons. On windows, even modern one, you can freely share offline installers with people, without ever touching the internet, as windows installers either come with all the dependencies already, or they are dependent on something that also has local, offline installer, like net framework or visual c++. Due to the lack of any decent software support, many linux users often promote usage of cloud-based software (web version of microsoft office, fusion360 etc.), which yet again, takes control from you, the end user. While modern software in general has this tendency, on Windows you can at least pirate new software and take away its internet access, or even use older, local versions of those programs, that are inarguably better than linux alternatives, all of that is not doable (or at least not easily doable) on linux. Thats why I chose to go back to old windows versions, since they have great software compatibility that can be ran locally and offline, forever, and are not actively maintained by people who openly hate me. Technically you can have safe, local setup on modern windows, but I will use older versions as long as I can, since they are simply easier on the user.

Its a publicly traded company problem; when your only motivation is profit chasing to please investors, you are more prone to make bad business decisions, including going against your own customer base. CEOs work for the board, not the customers. If the company self destructs, the CEO that was faithful to the board gets to pop his golden parachute while the customers get nothing. Avoid publicly traded companies.
