Zoomers do not know what a screen saver is
48 replies and 14 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>107742976
Many monitors take a not insignificant amount of time to turn back on. This means the blank screen saver still has a place. Some people like their monitor to quickly go blank when left unattended, say in 1 minute. But it would be annoying to have the monitor turn off at 1 minute, monitor turn-off would be usually set to 5-10 minutes.

Nobody's going to learn the bash terminal unless they are some basement dweller who lives on their PC. Even people who use their PC for work aren't going to fuck around with stuff like that. The terminal went away in the early 1990s on Windows and Mac because it's trash and linux hasn't evolved with them.

are KOSS headphones any good? or are they influencer slop?

>>107734191
I bought Koss Porta Pro headphones in the 1990s. My brother "borrowed" them and never returned them so I bought another pair in the late 2000s.

The cable on the new ones I bought was extremely thin and flimsy and broke after just a few months.

I took the pair my brother permanently loaned back when I was visiting him some years after that. Those have a much thicker more solid cable and they still work.

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING ANYTHING PRODUCED BY KOSS IN THIS CENTURY.

>>107734191

From my experiences they tend to be cold and sterile. KOSS makes headphones for recording studios, not for listening to music. (Of course YMMV)

How do you stay motivated when you're trying to teach yourself something new? I'm envious of programmers but the fact trying to build my skills in the arena would involve taking myself to that with only myself and my own intellect to overcome the specific roadblocks I could encounter and that sort of thing feels unmotivating to me. You can go to a forum and ask a question, maybe, but people just flowing in and out and dropping an answer might not hit upon your issue or feel timely. I feel like I really need either someone to learn alongside with or someone actually willing to take the time to walk through what I'm fucking up on to feel like I can actually commit to personal growth.

The webview doesn't work for me. It always makes me wait. I just open it in a browser, there's no difference.

Closed source software is not the same as patent protected software. Releasing a offline usable closed source binary under no license is so much more ethical then a proprietary (patent) license that threatens people with prison time and civil liability for sharing/modifying software or using it the wrong way. Also the addition of spyware sometimes and cloud tethering. Which I also oppose.

But it seems TMK that Stallman may conflate offline usable closed source and patented software as if they are both as bad. but maybe some people know more about him then I do, Does he recognize the difference and what does /g/ think of the difference? I'm saying I strongly agree with Stallman big tech patent hoarding and patent trolling is harmful, and and I view the GPL3 like a voluntary contract programmers agree to participate in and hope to abolish all patents one day, but I'm not following his logic that seems to hint at closed source software being illegal as an ultimate goal. Patents should be illegal but not software with no public code.

>>107737754
my brain had a malfunction I conflated patented software and copyright software with heavy restrictions.

I think all copyright should be replaced with non disclosure and public agreements. NDA for closed source among a team of developers. And the GPL3 and BSD reimagined as a public contract that activates whenever someone modifies GPL code.

Honestly if it was just copyright laws preventing sharing of software I wouldn't care. What pisses me off is how ideas are protected by the state. In example Adobe held a 20 year patent on adjustment layers, or Namco patenting the loading screen mini games. Or how some licenses say you can't legally modify the software even in your home or only they can fix the hardware. Similar to right to repair laws. That is what I am against.

It just seems that Stallman views it as a human right to modify other people's software, that is where I disagree. Its a voluntary agreement of people participating in GPL3 software.

Fact check them. Grok and DeepSeek do not understand but they do have very good fact checking abilities.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GROKvsMAGA/

The most likely hallucinations are when Grok gives something that sounds like an answer but is a complete fabrication. DeepSeek doesn't do that much at all but Grok does from time to time. Other then source checking the best thing to do is have the same conversation with different AIs several times and look for consistency and tell them to cite the sources.

Just like people on Mastodon fall short of understanding freedom. The concept of positive vs negative liberty.

Dude on Mastodon rails against software patents, big tech cloud tethering everyone's software, and supports local offline software use. I strongly agree with him there. Then I read more of his post and he goes on about how much he loves the EU and thinks that Government should pay all FOSS devs and how a massive welfare state is salvation. That's the point I diverge on. Its positive vs negative liberty and I have taken negative liberty to its logical conclusions. Where as the people on Mastodon and Stallman are mixing both in inconsistent ways.

Stallman wants total digital sovereignty as do I
but he also wants to keep the strong centralized government to provide welfare state creature comforts.I don't think you can have a Government that represents the people and as I cited in a previous post the EU is violating civil liberties while leftist on Mastodon celebrate them . Stallman expects both total privacy where Government doesn't know who you are and a massive welfare state to care for people. That is a huge logical contradiction he has. You can't have both and you must pick one, freedom or dependency!

When taking negative liberty to its extreme conclusion it would be better to live in a world without GPL3 licensing if it meant that most copyright and all patents were abolished since the early 90s onward. But we'd have to do that from the start, as like I said patents already gave capitalist pigs a huge advantage that can't be undone. The timeline we're in is fucked
