Use restfox
My wife’s impressed though, may be a little…
But she’s also a programmer.
Lobotomize them after buying.
I’ve seen video ads claiming to show you a way towards passive income from other people’s videos somehow. Now it’s coming to open source projects…
Ecologically that’s pretty much what humans are…
Have you been reading three body problem?
Also, there’s this one guy who’s auto-uploading auto generated videos of stackoverflow questions and answers on youtube, like every few seconds. I think I saw it on one of DistroTube videos.
ERPNext does have ecommerce. All of it’s modules are free. The whole thing’s integrated with it’s back-end accounting and inventory system. There may be some features you might not need because it’s primary purpose is for back office usage.
Ballmer’s microsoft atleast had some pride not to pester their users this way…
There used to be a post socialist era mindset that people from my country used to have back in the 90s. It’s simply that if you have to advertise for your product, it’s probably bad. And overprized because you were spending money on ads. I remember the older generation specifically bought unadvertised products recommended by people they knew.
Another aspect to consider is the term " invention is the mother of necessity" coined by Jared Diamon, in contrast to " neccessity is the mother of invension". A lot of technology either get discarded or used for something that the technology wasn’t originally intended. Hence the idea that inventions come first and the necessity for them follows later. Targetes technological innovation tenda to be very expensive and involves a lot of trial/error.
I believe this phenomenum doesn’t just apply to big innovations and inventions. It also applies to day to day problem solving and in your case, choosing the right technology for your work. Without prior experience and established norm, a technology that might completely makes sense to you for a certain kind of work, might not pan out in actual use.
A lot of “smart” devices are better off dumb.
I just checked the name. It’s nwg-shell. Last time I tried was around 8-10 months ago, I think and it was still rough around the edges. Seems to have matured quite a bit.
I also wish for a complete desktop environment with workspace semantics of tiling wms. Someone’s actually building one out of sway, I remember. Don’t remember the name though.
There are huge economic advantages to their inner circles that only come with them being in complete control. These people are uses to… a certain way of doing “business”, if you can call it that. It’s all basically corruption and abuse of their position for monetary gain. A lot of cronies also prefer them over a democratic government because they can just bribe their way to get their work done. I had even heard a bit of whining even from average business owners over difficulty in procuring licenses and permissions during the demographic government rule. Granted most of them want demographics governments but some still wanna bribe their way in like before.
Not and AI expert but I’ve never been convinced by AI that’s trained on human provided data. It’s just gonna be garbage in, garbage out. To get something substantially useful from AI, it needs to be… axiomatic, I guess. A few years ago, there was Alpha Zero learning only the rules of chess but within just a few hours, it learned all the chess openings/theories that took human chess masters centuries to formulate. It even has it’s own effective opening lines that used to be considered wasteful/unsound before. Granted chess game rules and win conditions are relatively simple compared to real life problems. So may be, it’s too early for general purpose AI research to billions into.
I’ve seen too many guys, even those in “respectable” positions like executives or club captains, just leave their porn tabs open before asking me for some help with their phones.
When I asked them to open up their browser they would straight up open it up to a previously opened porn tab and start to panic. And somehow, the porn site that opened is always XNXX, lol. Pornhubs’ banned here and I guess XNXX just become popular instead.
Where I’m from used to be pretty much a backwater country without any official access to western software. No credit card to purchase online, nothing. So we all use pirated software. 2000s were like the golden age of pirated softwate. I messed around with pirated/cracked software a lot when I was in uni, then I got hit with ransomware and lost all my assignments.
So I started giving opensource a try. I didn’t know before that open source was actually a thing until I overhear some of my friends arguing about windows and linux. This was around 2007, so linux desktop is still a bit abysmal. I think tux guitar is probably the first opem source I used because pirating guitar pro starts to get too tedious. I started replacing pirated softwares I used to have with open source alternatives. IE with firefox Internet Download Manager with jDownloader. Guitar Pro with Tux Guitar. Some text editor with the name I forgot with Notepad++ Then I eventually moved on to linux, which took quite a bit long though, since I used to be a .NET developer.
Honestly, a lot of third world countries could benefit tremendously from open source software but we were all mentally locked in to windows, since youth. Most training center here only teaches windows. Even recent school curriculum seems to be focused on windows. We got so used to pirated software that’s actually quite expensive to buy legitimately and people gets fussy if they couldn’t use it. Such a shame…
Superiority complex, obviously.
And silicons’ nowhere near as energy efficient as biological neurons. There needs to be a massive energy breakthrough like fusion or actual biological processors becoming a thing to see any significant improvements.
