@AzraelSch @KeruboSk Cancelation applies to anything work inn progress. many contracts have a clause saying the work still needs to be paid inn some capacity delivered or not, as long as it's the client that cancelled the order. Any person hates their time being wasted when money is on the line.

@KeruboSk Why does this person think Cancellation Fees are a thing? It's not for after you already got the product and didn't like it.

Client: "We've decided not to proceed. Cancelling the project." Freelancer: "Delivery was tomorrow." Client: "Something came up internally." Freelancer: "Kill fee applies. 75% of the remaining balance." Client: "For work you haven't delivered?" Freelancer: "For work that's completely done." Client: "We're not paying for something we're not using." Freelancer: "Section 5. It's been ready since Monday." Kill fee paid. Cancelling the day before delivery is still cancelling. Done work has the same value whether it gets used or not.

@rhiyddun @0xlelouch_ Yes i believe that is correct, C was bootstraped a long time ago so most C compilers are written in C with some parts still in assembly, same as many other low level languages which have compilers made with its own language

@Tomitri6 @0xlelouch_ I was mentioning that C compilers are written in C. Or at least they used to be :)

🐧 Linux Kernel is C 🌐 Nginx is C 🚀 Redis is C 🗄️ PostgreSQL core is C 🧠 SQLite is C 🔒 OpenSSL is C 📦 Git is C ⚡ Memcached is C 🧵 libuv is C 📡 TCP/IP stack is C 🖥️ X11 Window System is C 🧰 GNU Coreutils are C 🛠️ GCC is C 🧬 CPython runtime is C 📁 ext4 / NTFS file systems are C 🎮 Game engine foundations are C 🚗 Embedded firmware is C 📟 Networking drivers are C 🛰️ Aerospace & real-time systems are C 💳 Payment terminals run C The foundation of operating systems, databases, networking, crypto, and embedded systems is written in C. Trends come and go. C stays. Isn’t it time you understood what everything else is built on?

@rhiyddun @0xlelouch_ C is assembly, assembly is bytecode, bytecode is binary, binary is 'on' or 'off', on or off is specialty rocks etched and processed into becoming switches.

@0xlelouch_ C is C

@C131Sanchez @nixcraft Inn theory it should work on any Linux that supports the commands it sends to the pc, mainly using HID and a command shell. It works by sending keystrokes on insertion.

@nixcraft Too bad I no longer use Pi devices, with the cost of them those mini PCs are just as good when you add up all the accessories.

RP2350 based usb to show the ip address of the Respberry Pis it is connected to. It has four display lines: hostname, Wi‑Fi (wl*), Ethernet (en*/eth*), and two “other” slots for additional detected interfaces. You just insert it and it will show it. It is fully open source.

@BlackDan01 @VariousRegards @GundamIsHere Ye the AAA games sector is in a bad state for good while now, what was once known to push to the bleeding had become stagnant and regurgitation of the same stuff.

@VariousRegards @GundamIsHere Get what you are saying but this is unfourtunately just not working as we speak the western triple a games industry is literally on the verge of not being profitable because of coporate greed and over bloated projects even things like spider man 2 are in the red costs too high

If we accept this, games will "need to be 120 dollars" by 2027. This hobby is going to price its core audience out of the market... then crash.

@rgekfd3e @vivaldibrowser vivaldi.com/blog/technolog…

@vivaldibrowser I'll believe it when you make your software Open Source.

Big Tech thrives on surveillance. We thrive on good coffee, cool Nordic October air, and the joy of building a browser that respects you. 🤝

@DannyWolfofTech i dont think github is going anywear, but i think compile doc's need to be better inn many repos. there are way to many variables inn that regard. Github already is a big distributer of misc software, it serve a dual purpos both as a co development hub, and a distribution hub

@Tomitri6 @Azadux hm, but then consider this what will become of GitHub? a place to download games and whatnot? is that what you want for it?

I think about this daily

@GergelyOrosz reading code is faster tho, but understanding whats written now thats a diffrent ballpark alltogheter🫡

THIS is something only devs will understand 75% of devs say writing code (yourself) is faster than reading (someone else’s) code And it’s true

@DannyWolfofTech @Azadux the counter argument to that is, if ur a developer and distributing software, make it as easy as feasible for the end user or other devs, some project u would need to be a mentalist or ask to be given a instructions on how to compile, somthing that shoul be written in the docs.

@Azadux If you're not a developer and into coding, you have no business on GitHub

@Kyvlash @thiojoe @grok IMO its never not having precombiles bianries. its mostly that most times the compile instructions ranges from workabel, to pure and utter hocus pocus if there even are writen anything. if its meant to be a personal project i dont care, but bigger project really grinds my gears.

@thiojoe I literally have Ai like @grok produce scripts that install them. But at the same time the problem with compiling it yourself is you keep the extra files afterwards you only needed then. And they appear in your App Menus.

The funniest thing is he’s right. Any time I see a project that makes you compile it yourself I get pissed off

@FFmpeg Looks like alot of friction out of the gate for new people, but hey if it works it works, any reason for not accepting PR's, but rather patches trough the mailinglist? or is it just hard to migrate over?

How to contribute to FFmpeg: youtu.be/_k64TY_tVN0?si…

@mtc @FFmpeg one could integrate IRC alongside a VOIP service. dont belive it would to hard to make a client that can talk to both. but i dont know if it would be worse or better than a service that does both

@FFmpeg You can bridge IRC to Discord. IRC was fun in the 90s, but between DDOS/hacks, netsplits, and the lack of voicecall it's kind of a relic outside of specialty purposes.

Did you know FFmpeg development still uses IRC for live chat? We don't use modern (and arguably worse) equivalents like Slack and Discord. For those who don't know what IRC is here is an explanation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC

@therealpetep @FFmpeg u could actual say that about many text based message systems, they want their flamboyant ui and features ya know.😄

@FFmpeg when I first saw slack ages ago I was like 'ummm, so it's basically web-based IRC, but the client eats 200x more RAM - what's the point then?' 😄

Makes me so sad that this account is shadowbanned to hell 😩 let me out of jail twitter I'll show no more booty I promise

@prathamgrv the lack of a GF ofc

what’s stopping you from coding in a bar with your girlfriend

@shl an interactive electronic billboard for the world wide web

What is a website? Best answer gets $1,000.

@a_cerbic u forgot context inn ur last reply, and blocking me dosnt help ur case, u simply dont harass and bug people for "priorty bug's" that they have themselv have no real intrest inn contributing to, Just cause they dont have to pay for it

@a_cerbic @whisperity @FFmpeg they are not complaing about the free part, they are complaining about the constant harassment and bugging caused by an unwillingnes to contribute to the project apart from point out all the bugs they can find and want fixed asap, and for free mind u.

Arguably the most brilliant engineer in FFmpeg left because of this. He reverse engineered dozens of codecs by hand as a volunteer. Then security "researchers" and corporate employees came along repeatedly insisted "critical" security issues were fixed immediately waving their CVEs. This was hugely demotivating to the fun and enjoyment of reverse engineering.

@JamesRLandrum @hot_labor @imag0r @FFmpeg OSS or rather FOSS, dos not say anything about how to manage and lable a project, its simply dictates the nature of said project, what would u call FFMPEG, if not for its name? a logo and name makes for better recognition.

@hot_labor @imag0r @FFmpeg So overseeing contributions makes you the owner of said contributions? That’s not a very OSS take.

You already lock your shit down with a restrictive license, if you think this is some sort of demand or that a few thousand is too little for a volunteer driven org… I’m so tired of this shit, and so glad I use this shit almost never (if not absolutely never) in my daily life.

@a_cerbic @whisperity @FFmpeg the problem is not starting a company, it's trying to convert a license over,FOSS often start's as small hobby project's, and then explode after the fact, so it not as easy as saying they should just have made it paid to begin with,mabey then we would't had FFMPEG Hindsight 20/20

@whisperity @Tomitri6 @FFmpeg You sound like a coward who will never get anything done. People start businesses all the time, but not you. Carry on. And don't spam replies.
