and DeArrow even does titles. OP should maybe have looked for existing things in the problem-space?

this works less and less as corporations buy from each other and everybody has things like pensions/401k and investments. there are also many who will buy shit regardless. it's just ignoring the reality of the situation, really.

and I've had Haskell binaries attempt to use infinite quantities of RAM (looking at an old version of dconf2nix here) and thus crash

the clones are the foundation of many slimevr smol trackers, so it does things other than just keyboards too!

The better/real reason for not allowing calculators in certain classes is because doing these things mentally promotes healthy cognitive development. The same way that handwriting for taking notes provides better recall than writing the same thing with a keyboard.

No matter where the argument is going, turning everything into competition instead of ensuring a good environment for proper and healthy cognitive development is a bad thing.

The alternative is having a society full of hollowed out people, who understand nothing. It is no different with university, it is just a shame that so many of the students who take courses are deeply uninterested in the actual learning that they should be paying money there to attain, instead of some weird grotesque attempt at taking money from people without providing any service in return. (I would be as equally critical of faculty and courses today, as I would of students who do not care.)

I have no clue why you were getting voted down, but I agree. AI generated music isn't art. There's no soul in that, no experience.

Thank you for licensing your project. I appreciate your commitment to open source. More developers and people should be like you.

I'm saying that words have meaning and that meaning should ideally not diluted. But, considering the developer licensed their project as MIT, I'm very happy.

It isn't open source, it's source available. You have not licensed your source code, it is thus under copyright.

Please read the open source definition; https://opensource.org/osd.

There are other phrases that are usable, such as source first (in the case of FUTO licenses) or source available (when source is under copyright but is provided).

The engine, being actually MIT, is however open source.

as a trans woman, the clotting risk of estrogen proportional to levels is always cited to me by medical professionals when speaking about hrt, the risks, ...

i've always found it kind of weird, like being told taking estrogen will cause "increased chance of breast cancer"; yeah, if you grow breasts, you will have more breast cells, more cell division, more chance for errors, no? but that's (at least partially) why i'm doing the whole thing to begin with...? :p

and then they skimp on the doses...

if this were statistically significant to such a degree that it truly mattered, women would not live longer than men on average. i feel like people get lost in the sheer stats of it

I don't really feel like I've lost any functionality, personally?

If I weren't using binary blobs in the firmware, I think I would have more trouble, but that is Canoeboot to my knowledge, not Libreboot. ^^
