One arm hair in the hand is better than two in the bush

Don’t know. But if the tariffs are as bad as many think, I believe the black market in the USA will grow faster than the speakeasies and smuggling booze did a century ago. There will be huge demand to bring in cheaper goods that are legally sold at higher rates.

It’s a new and huge untapped market to provide support, even if most of the movement of goods will be done by organized crime later. A lot of what will happen is unknown.

Certainly there will be a new cat and mouse dynamics. Very rarely does a huge layer of graft poof into existence to fast in a country. Lots of dynamics navigating this new electronic frontier!

So anyway, here I was, drifting through the lemmy pages, when I realized there was a ton of money to be made by writing software for smugglers.

I have never really known a smuggler of physical goods, but I imagine I will try now

It’s not ideal, and can be abused by the central service later by price increases or probably other things.

But it’s the best a corporate and evil platform can do to legitimize users.

I tried compiling gentoo a bit later, upgraded from windows 95. Could never get to a login screen, I quit, and started using Linux later when it was easier to install

I also think this reflects the true number of the user base: less reports because of what you said, and also there are less people who see the material

Cool !

My understanding is that this is not terrible, only bad then? In top ten new movies this year?

Shout out to the employee who interrupted to accuse Microsoft of war crimes!

I am influenced by both and control none, bobbing along the waves of misinformation and mismanagement like a cork in the ocean .

few people know that or will understand it; it’s been tarnished by the foundation.

If I were managing thunderbird, I would do a rebrand because I am not the first or last person to make that mistake ; there are tens of millions of me

Just for argument’s sake, it’s easier to change the behavior of one mismanaged foundation than the broken news cycles

Few know how things are structured. Or more importantly, how it could be restructured later.

I’m cynical and already looking at forks

I think I am stuck in Texas

Not with rising sea levels

This will also help lessen the monopoly cloud flair has in Spain

Proton recently closed their masterdon account because of the mutual hostility

Yea, I seriously tried to think of one merger, big enough to be noticed, and not willing to even break laws to show their appreciation.

The mit license allows a mix of public and commercial code run by the same company, with minimal legal issues. One can use other tactics I am sure, but this one seems good when the commercial code absolutely needs the public code .

I think some confusion here can be resolved by stating this is anti foss, taking advantage of foss, it is capitalism taking advantage of having a good code base while making sure any contribution from outside the company is minimized. At the same time it gives my company absolute control over the private part.

Usually get into arguments here! I’m not defending it, but am saying open source would be less without.
