  • I’ve had Motorola phones for my past three or four phones. Latest one I’ve bought is the 2023 razr. They were a bit of an also ran kind of phone for many of those, but it’s definitely worth pointing out that their phones were basically always unlocked, and that they have remained an excellent value in comparison to shit companies that eat penis for a living like horrible ass Samsung.

    When my Motorola phone had some problem, I was always able to pick up a new, unlocked one for around a hundred bucks.

    IMO, Motorola continued doing what Google Nexus was doing at the exact same time that Google discontinued the Nexus line and started the Google Pixel line to try to emulate Apple and/or Samsung.


  • This is the sort of thing you do to big companies with no morals, doing it to a small open source project is just wrong, they don’t have the manpower or money to redo the investigation you already did.

    Given that the dude works for an AI-based security company, and Forgejo and services like it (e.g., codeberg.org) are how you abandon the mess of vibe-coded trash that is GitHub, in my opinion he has a motivation to pick apart this specific service.



  • The basic idea is the same. No state needed. People function to help each other, etc.

    Sorry, I’m a big David Graeber guy and he made a point to discuss this in some of his work. It exists throughout history.

    I don’t know if you’re in software, but IMO communism is like agile. It works very well at small scale (which is why products from startups are good), but once a community loses autonomy and division of labor becomes a thing…it’s over.

    Socialism is an attempt at SAFE (scaled agile framework for enterprise). IMO it doesn’t really work, but I do like the idea of having markets where it makes sense, and having social programs that are not profit motivated or maybe even run by the government…so basically Bernie’s position.

    But Windows is less secure. Two things can be true at once. They are in the original topic too.

    The Java ecosystem is massive and decades old and I don’t hear one iota of the shit about maven central that I hear about npm.

    I guarantee that npm is full up with vibe coded bullshit at this point as well.

    I’m not sure what it even takes to upload a package to npm. Not even a pulse. I honestly never looked into it because the whole ecosystem is so rancid.

    EDIT: Look at how many shits in this are optional (and note the overall quality of the article as well): https://dev.to/aneshodza/publishing-your-first-npm-library-51k2. The ecosystem sucks.











  • Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is) and they all claim to follow Agile methodologies and do everything but.

    However, even if they were very “Agile”, why the fuck would you plaster their logo on your homepage as if it’s a great thing that they’re using your software?

    The company that makes this software is dying to become more evil and/or more terrible than even Atlassian, and I would very much not bother investing my time to learn the nuances of their begging to be acquired by Satan products.
