@DeveloperMemes It's bad because Apple is extracting money from it.
Unless you need push notifications just build a web app (and even then there's smtp and xmpp.)

@fatboy "don't break two laws at once." Why anyone would pirate Windows is beyond me though.

@garritfra I also would like to hear, I have bits and pieces of a khanban board with a plain text database (so you can keep it in a git repo) but I haven't finished it yet.

@aligyie I guess they can get away with a Qualcomm chip because they don't need hardware graphics.
I've been so turned off to that company by how abusive they are with their IP and drivers I don't think I'll ever buy anything with any of their SoCs in it again.

@SEEK It's a good book. I found it in the university library as a freshman and me and a friend went through the first couple chapters together. I haven't found a better book for teaching absolute beginners to program either.

@icedquinn @purple I've never done AVR but I know pic assembly is super easy (because it's the only way the chips were intended to be programmed.)

@pants @freemo @mathlover @bonifartius Kicking out someone merely for an idea (rather than harassment which is what the ranter would be doing) *is* censorship.

@pants @bonifartius @freemo @mathlover Most people would prefer *stopping* oppressors to silencing them.
Kicking a Nazi off twitter is something you do to look good.

@mathlover I've never had a good opinion of that distro. They've also accidentally shipped malware in their ISOs. The only arguments I've heard for it are the WM and that they ship some non-free and legally gray software so WiFi and DVDs don't need any extra work.

@The_Quantum_Alpha@mastodon.online yeah, this isn't the first time I've seen them on a blocklist, I guess I've always thought of octodon.social as a larger instance (like mstdn.social) and expected them to be more reasonable.

@The_Quantum_Alpha@mastodon.online Yeah sure, neither is fosstodon though. ddging "fosstodon nazi" doesn't show anything and if you look on *their* block list there's plenty of stuff like gab (and NSFW stuff which makes sense.)

@thenewoil In college we had a class that had CTF exercises in it. I usually wrote malware in Go for that. It's one of those things the language/runtime/ecosystem is just better for.

@icedquinn TBH I don't get too surprised when people block blob.cat (although doing so seems immature.)
Blocking fostodon (and people associating it with the extreme right) seems incredibly stupid and is what always shocks me. There's probably something I'm missing though.

woah! octodon.social blocks fosstodon.org? (and blob.cat apparently)

That's kind of depressing, that was the first mastodon instance I joined.

@allison Gentoo on my main computer and Alpine on everything else including my phone and email server. I'm thinking about moving to Guix though.
