enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another

Merriam webster dictionary definition 2D.

That is a definition people use when discussing libre software. The software is under YOUR control. If adobe says "fuck you, you don't get the brush tool anymore" thats it for the brush tool. If gimp gets rid of a feature in the main branch, you can say "no fuck you I like this tool" and can just keep the code base that included it still.

Also you have a rather perscriptive understanding of language, which just simply isn't how language works. Languages evolve over time. Open up a dictionary and see how many definitions are listed as antiquated. Those are definitions that aren't used anymore as they fell out of favor.

Now get off your high horse about how words aren't the same as they used to be or how words are frozen to definitions.

I loved his video complaining about his search for surfshark's limit on ads, going insane in the process, not finding it, and then just doing a deadpan delivery of surfshark at the end.

Yesterday as I was helping someone with their computer a couple of coworkers were talking about how the hunter biden trial was super quick compared to trumps and yadda yadda yadda. Its mind boggling. Like, guys you got what you wanted. You can legally say Hunter is a criminal without it being libel/slander. Hes a felon now. What did this accomplish exactly now that hes a criminal? Hes still not on any ballot. Hes still a fail son, but like he's not doing anything.

Hmmmm. Best outcome I can think of would be the judge telling the dao to fuck off then putting pharma bro back in prison because.

Not necessarily, my job used to have a flip phone that the sales team would use for after work calls, and it ran android.

This is fairly common for tech jobs, asking for more experience than is phisically possible. Theres a whole sub about shit like this on the old site.

Honnest answer, 1/2 in DEC is 0.5 easy. 1/2 in base 13 is .6666666666.... Easy but ugly. You want a base that has comon fractions easily represented by decimals. People like dozenal since many fractions are easily represented. 1/2 = 0.6, 1/3 = 0.4, 1/4 = 0.3

I'm personally a fan of hexidecimal partly because I'm a programmer and partially because it can be halved several times

Dude's out here trying to get us to use base 13.
