I don’t lift, but I make sure to do my workouts listening to Red Sun in the Sky

Mano, não sei se foi intencional ou não, mas aqui é uma instância internacional, meio que não vão interagir por não ser em inglês. Tem o [email protected] que é de uma instância 100% BR.

All hail the Scrap Queen!

“Parabéns para a AmeriKKKa, entregou sistemas críticos na mão do deus mercado e agora virou mais um refém dele KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK”

Agora falando sério: era meio previsível que isso podia acontecer caso o governo deixasse tudo nas mãos de uma empresa gigantesca como a Microsoft; a empresa nunca vai assinar um contrato que garanta acesso gratuito a um recurso lucrativo que ela oferece, independente de quem é o cliente. Segundo o próprio artigo, a Microsoft faturou US$ 20 bilhões somente provendo serviços de segurança pra agências federais, como diabos o governo americano espera que ela ofereça os logs “na faixa” se o faturamento está bombando com essas parcerias?

Fora a péssima decisão de permitir que controlem 80% dos sistemas operacionais usados pelas agências. Quer dizer que se alguém achar uma vulnerabilidade critica no Windows, essa pessoa pode possivelmente comprometer comunicações sigilosas; ter acesso a arquivos ou informações de alto valor; ou em última instância, adquirir credenciais de alto nível e ser capaz de comprometer os outros 20% dos sistemas? Imagina o tamanho da merda que ia dar se isso acontecesse.

Se bem que tamo falando do governo americano, todo castigo é pouco pra essa corja racista

Yeah, but there’s also the term “freeware”, which means closed source but free to use.

I’ll edit my comment for clarity, thanks for the heads up.

Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, “freeing the code”.

You mean it the other way, right? Because these companies you defend use the free labor of voluntary developers from the community, which spend hours and hours developing features, fixing bugs and what not, directly or indirectly. That’s how open source works.

When these companies change the project license to a closed source one, they’re basically saying a big “f*** you” to the community. Forking the latest open source version of the repository is nothing more than an effort to keep things the way they were.

huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future

Linux is FOSS, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you redistribute it without modifying the license. Android does that; every GNU/Linux distribution does that. That’s how it works.

if a license says “you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$”

What you’re describing is “freeware”, what this post is discussing is " open source software". There’s a giant gap between the two.

I think they mean EA Anti-Cheat, not Easy Anti-Cheat. The former, which is used in 2042, does not run under linux (and probably never will).

BFV runs out-of-the-box on linux systems and has a “Gold” rating on ProtonDB. If EA really goes on with this, BFV will become unplayable, just like 2042.

If the book title was “Kubernetes for Babies”, we’d probably get the same reaction

Did he? I don’t remember him saying “I’ve lost, it’s alright guys” to his supporters. He’ve been saying there was a fraud in 2018 (which he fucking WON) and 2022 elections; he never came in public and said “Hey guys, could you please stop blocking roads, stop making protests all over Brazil and stop asking for a coup in front of the army barracks?”.

After he lost, he simply vanished for almost a month, and neither the Federal Police nor the army under his command did something to stop the protests. In fact, an army general came in public and said to Bolsonaro supporters: “Don’t lose faith” - even though they were causing chaos all over the country.

At last, we had Jan 8, which is equivalent to USA’s Capitol riot. Bolsonaro supporters invaded the congress, the presidential palace and the supreme court, and trashed the places (fortunately, no one was working there this day). All of these things wouldn’t happen if Bolsonaro came in public and accepted his defeat.

Yes, we used to be.

First off, thank you for your great response.

And yeah, I kinda get that “United States” is just a title, but in my native language (portuguese) we have a specific word for americans: “estadunidense”, which basically means “person born in the USA”

I was just wondering if there was a similar word in english that could be used specifically to these people, just like we have in portuguese. But again, thanks for your answer.

Also, fun fact: Brazil was actually called “United States of Brazil” for a short period, and our flag looked like a copy of yours, but in yellow and green. But then our king (thankfully) decided to go just by “Brazil”
