  • Hey Guys, Microsoft is cool now, they really care for Open Source now, they changed.

    How do people always forget, how often they get fucked by that company in the last 20 years, that they think anything changed? They still abuse their monopoly, they still buy up the work of others and they still will then dilute it down for their bottom line and restrict it to force you to use a login to harvest data on your profile (see also Windows).

    Everyone who said it’s cool that MS bought Github, because they are now Pro-Open-Source: Can we please have a round table every 2 years and talk. Because I think you guys are victims of the Stockholm syndrome and do not even notice.


  • Write it down for now so you do not lose the memory if it is so precious to you. Maybe it will be even better the next time coding it. I think many coders have a “loose copy” or a “code gist” of previous versions of their favorites codes around. I never created a code that I framed and hanged on my wall, but some came close. I would not publish it under your real name any time soon. At least not as long as you work in that company +1-2y. If you choose to publish it in the next 6 month under a very different name, in another account, with another repo name, because you love FOSS so much, and it looks different to the original code in format and style (and the presentation of data = frontend), then I see no problem. Just two guys having a similar idea. Not a lawyer though.










  • I use pocket casts since years. Never felt like needing the plus. Just checked the benefits and I think I am still good. Before a flight I download dozens of podcast to my phone via WiFi and use the list of downloaded podcasts to keep track of them.

    I see no need for the following features for me:

    • Folders Organize your podcasts in folders, and keep them synced across devices.

    • Desktop Apps Take your podcasts to more places with our Windows, macOS and Web apps.

    • Cloud Storage Speed up your lectures. Burn through other content. Be your own Podcast DJ.

    • Watch Playback Ditch the phone and go for a run – without missing a beat. Apple Watch stands alone

    • Themes & Icons Fly your true colors. Exclusive icons and themes for the plus club only.
