That's not a very constructive, nor accurate, way of trying to dismiss all concerns around bun that has been raised.

I think that was a very constructive comment about the unconstructive way people are shoe-horning other concerns about bun into this thread abut a specific aspect which itself turns out to be just an experiment that someone knee-jerk reacted to, despite several active threads already discussing those matters one of which only just fell off the front page.

While the concerns many have about Bun's potential future direction are valid IMO, of the posts on this thread the one you are criticising is one of the more constructive.

No, GPL gives you access to the source code, not the trademark. The reaction by the N++ author is perfectly in order.

As stated multiple times in the linked discussion: the licensing of the open source code is not the issue. It's the use of the trademark, and making their fork look like an officially endorsed one.

And the fork author was given a oppertunity to remediate without further drama. Instead, the fork author doubled down, where the possible reasons for that behavior are hard to interpret in good faith.

Yes, one of the complexities of open source licensing that people do not understand is that most copyright licenses assign only copyright and that copyright is a distinct and different concept than patents and trademarks.

Yup. Even if "safer per mile", more cars and more miles driven will probably outweigh the benefits. And still be hazardous to cyclists and pedestrians, still make us design stupid cities (built for cars, not people), etc.

Like how electric cars were for saving the car companies, not the planet, autonomous will be the same.

I don't own a (stationary) PC, but I have bought Noctua for other projects due to them having good reviews. Was surprisingly hard to find good fans for my usecase, that wasn't industrial (pricey). And PC fans are easy to control.

Have we solved the yellowing? I guess many of us have memories of old and ugly yellow computers.

TIL: Generally all plastics exposed to UV start to photodegrade. If you google why old computers turn particularly yellow most sources point to bromine-based flame retardant agents in the plastic, but some people make a convincing case[1] that ABS just naturally turns yellow in UV light.

Not much real research into that topic, interestingly.

I've had a few experiences with retrobrighting and having it come out really nicely, then after being stored away in a box for a couple of years it's somehow yellow again. It's probably different with different plastics but it doesn't seem so clear cut that it's always the UV light causing it.

Not sure why all the fire retardants are needed. Besides, steel probably retards fire more effectively than most fire retarded resins and is probably far more recyclable.

In the uncommon event that something in your computer catches fire, the flame retardant keeps the fire from igniting the otherwise flammable plastic and potentially burning your house down.

These designs are now the trend, though. So they will influence how human designed/built websites also look.

Yeah they are the trend, so they will probably cause a polarized response - some will find it cliche and reject it, others will coalesce around the standard.

Not the same issue as the author, as I come from programming and been toying with Unity for myself / hobby. But it's surprisingly difficult to learn, because most guides and tutorials don't teach you the fundamentals. They teach you how to specifically do X, but it's hard to apply when you want to make something else. Often they also "hack" it to work, and as an experienced dev I can then really feel that this isn't the way to actually do it, it's just a shortcut, but I don't know how it should be done.

Like the input system. Many tutorials will just assign a listener on WASD buttons or something. But that only gets you so far.

Or the mentioned Brackeys. Very cool and well produced tutorials to make certain graphical effects. But often they are impossible to combine with your actual shaders, and if mindlessly applied you haven't learned anything generalizable you can use for your own vision. Just then have to hope there exist a tutorial or asset for whatever effect you're looking for.

> that will free you from your labor

I don't believe that, though. The output will be owned by an elite. The rest of us will be useless and fighting for scraps. No utopia with UBI or similar.

Edit: wow, many made the same comment while I was reading the article. I should remember to refresh before starting to write.

You're missing the point. There's a difference between buying an ad, something that's clearly marked as an ad and inserted as an ad, vs having your normal posts appear organic but still getting put in front of more people.

Or, it's mainly the opposite. If you don't pay, you no longer get the organic, not even from your own followers.

On FB ads are not very clearly marked - the "sponsored" in grey lettering is not very noticeable.

They also promote anything that gets engagement which leads to showing people a lot of very nasty stuff.
