This will be my first Framework

Depending on how you treat it, it might also be your last. So far, Framework has offered upgrades to their existing customers so they don’t have to buy a completely new notebook to upgrade.

All artists train themselves on others artwork, most probably unpaid.

They are wrong. Theft means depriving someone of having something, and that’s not the case here. It’s more a “they’re taking our jobs” kind of situation.

Facts are not under copyright, only creative expression are. So, for example your randomly assigned phone number does not have copyright protection.

Those earbuds are not so great for flight mode.

Ja, das hat eine von ihm bestellte Richterin sicher gestellt. So eine Bananenrepublik, dass seine eigene Richterin überhaupt so einen Fall bekommen kann.

Game design and gameplay is part of the source. All the balancing etc. to make it a fun experience. Most of the numbers don’t show up in the UI, so they’d either have reverse engineer it or reconstruct it somehow through months of game testing.

Yeah in theory people could buy your GPL/AGPL app from you, but they could also get it legally for free from anybody else who has bought it. Guess which way will dominate.

Depends on your point of view. Legally it definitely is, because the LGPL stipulates that nobody is allowed to attach any restrictions on to the code above the things the LGPL restricts itself. This makes it impossible to combine with the App Store, because that store adds additional restrictions.

I can tell you that I wouldn’t invest my time in developing a game if there’s no chance of selling it in the first place due to the license requirements of a third party package.

The LGPL is inherently incompatible with anything on Apple’s App Store, so if there’s a chance that I might want to publish it there I can’t touch anything-GPL.

That’s not how research & development works. Nobody asks for a specific person there. Stuff just doesn’t get done.

I’d rejoin for double the wage I previously had. Need to build up an emergency fund for this precarious position.

It’s the confidence with which he sprouts his nonsense. People flock to confident personalities, because they must know a lot of things (presumably).

Apple used to be that way, but they too got caught in the enshittification cycle.

It’s just too easy to build up a brand and then sell cheap shit for big money.

Ist das klug? Damit würde die AfD noch mehr von Russland abhängig werden.

There’s the saying that software development is one of the few crafts where the craftspeople also create the tools for themselves.

• Improved autocomplete when programming
• Recommendations for third party packages or protocols for programming or letting it list details for them, or comparing two competing implementations
• Hints for my TTRPG stories (not so great for that, because it always uses very similar ideas)
• Helping recalling a word I forgot by simply describing what I mean, same with phrases or proverbs

Location tracking and recording of all activity (voice, text messages). The FBI has admitted doing so during big events like protests.

I’ve looked into this. For proper integration (e.g. not as a hack with platform views that require a ton of overhead and multiple separate rendering contexts) I’d need access to the native rendering API in Godot, and the engine doesn’t expose it in any way that I could find.
