No prints allowed? Like, at all? Else, next time they should wear one with just a watermelon.

Or.. Even better, just go in and have a watermelon slice with you, in a tupper. Open it and have it there on the table :)

It's a tool, it can have good and bad uses. But what's interesting is the "dreams" of those who invested in the first place, their objectives: cheap labor, capitalist expansion. And the means to achieve it: ignore copyright like hypocrites.

Sure, the tool is here. "Confetti left the cannon". Now, what is everyone doing with it? Good and bad uses, of course. But that's beyond the point of the critique.

This falacy is quite common, "science is like a hammer". Only those who never studied the least of social sciences or human history believe such thing (including most exact and natural scientists.. •sigh•)

In germany they even provide safe syringes, I was impressed when I saw those dispensers in public WCs.

Why not use archive.org tools to have a full snapshot? It's fulfill a similar purpose.

Right? Diamond is a crystal of Carbon. Its synthesis was a challenge, required high pressure, but sounde doable from the beggining.

Now, transmuting one element into other (gold)... That's atomic energy right there. A whole new level.

Yeah... since you are asking, try not to do anything. They're people. They like jokes too.

Of course, all advise given in this thread is valuable, but I mean being overcautious may be the "special treatment" that is there routinely reminding them "oh you're different". They don't need that. Just respect.

Yet, they're entitled to their own decisions, triumphs and failures. So, they can shutdown the instance. Now, it would be a different thing if people really want them to be around again, raise some money, grab a backup, buy the domain name, let's gooo!! ..or not. Fine by me. If only 2 users from the instance decided to start a new one this is a huge win :)

The Age of Forks

Maybe won't be all entirely too bad or doom... I would like to see a silver lining, some FLOSS developers are smarter than trolls.

I am still using R-lang dataframes.., Or tibbles :)

Look for free services, there are not many but some. That's what I did at a point when I needed it as a Uni student.

As for jobs, if you are a web dev try creating a portfolio. Doesn't need to be full blown from day 0, or ever. Look for good first issues on github. And reinvent an app in the way you'd like to just for the sake of it..

If not as personal investment, do it for the activity.

Oh, and do some sport. Like 3-6 hour of physical activity per week will keep you grounded.

Simple gestures keep you from falling in downward spiral...

Creating this post is a huge step. Congrats!

PS. Yes, applying for jobs sucks SO much. Check if there's any event or conferences nearby.. networking matters a lot, maybe even more than having an impressive CV/ Portfolio. Good luck! You deserve better :)

Here's a book for a different audience. Explains in layman terms why to be wary about this tech, https://thebullshitmachines.com/

I use FreeTube on desktop (it's on f-droid too!) because you can create subscriptions under local profiles (e.g. some of mine are: music, diy, news, etc.) and it allows to export or import subscriptions so you could sync devices every once in a while. Oh and a whole export holds all your profiles.

May not be perfect but I like switching front pages with these profiles...
