Yeah, if it was realistic it wouldn’t be fun

It honestly (usually) does lead to a fantastic product! I maintain my own significantly used tools independently and completely agree. I also have seen locally (as a corporate pawn and life-long software engineer) what happens once somebody quits and no longer maintains their beautiful project(s).

You work so much FASTER alone than you do in a group. You also can NEVER get as far with your tool when you work alone. I think the best FOSS tools are born from independent savant developers, but for them to reliably be carried on, they have to be passed down to SOMEONE. It’s not your job to foster the entire next generation of tablet-children to be able to push golden commits to your curl 2.0 repo; it is pretty worthwhile to foster at least a handful of interested and headstrong people to understand your work in its entirety, and carry on its progress. And then they can do the same, and FOSS will live on forever (as it SHOULD be).

You probably spent an obscene amount of time developing an S+ tier piece of tooling, it would be pertinent to spend another marginal month or so to raise some lil star to be able to mimic your work once you tap out.

Having more free time is cool, but there’s more things in life. As MC Ride said: “LIKE GETTING YOUR DICK. RODE ALL FUCKING NIGHT.” Find some lil dick rider to carry on your shit.

if a maintainer doesn’t want your sticky grubby toddler hands fuckin in their cookie jar, it’s their fucking cookie jar and they can tell you to fuck off.

Yeah, that is exactly how it works. And doing that leads to your tool dying since you have no clue how to foster a community to take care of it.

Original creators and maintainers are hitting retirement age.

And not many good younger people are available to take the mantle.

This is the long-term cost of how persnickety FOSS maintainers are when it comes to accepting outside contributions to their work.

I don’t mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.

They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.

ICANN shouldn’t get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.

If you want someone else’s servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you’re doing something illegal

I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server’s IP. I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

Hunters enjoy the sport of hunting. It would take the fun away if the animal killed itself. The deer is running a lose-lose gambit by killing itself

DeepSeek claimed the model training took 2,788 thousand H800 GPU hours, which, at a cost of $2/GPU hour, comes out to a mere $5.576 million.

That seems impossibly low.

DeepSeek is clear that these costs are only for the final training run, and exclude all other expenses

Speach lmao

Just cuz Nintendo is a company run by bitch-made cum guzzlers doesn’t mean its fans should bend over like that. It used to be that kids loved Mario and sonic, so they made a shit ton of Mario and sonic flash games. That’s good, creative, harmless, and gets attention because of the brand fandom.

It doesn’t serve my IEMs

Homies throwing a tantrum like a three year old, what prompted this?

Neither are good, stop using discount brainrot shopping sites

For every hour of work/coding I do, there is probably 4 to 5 hours of waiting for shit to automatically compile, fetch, build, release, apply, get reviewed, approved, and deployed. The downtime is immense, I spend it helping other people with shit or planning company potlucks (I don’t work for Microsoft).

Except companies have sued people for web scraping.

Even web scraping for research purposes, not for competitive purposes.

They obfuscate their traffic by randomizing user agents, so it’s either add a global rate limit, or let them ass fuck you

Data, network bandwidth, and CPU/Processing time from essentially every website in the world, and when you’re paying for cloud power to run your website the cost of webscrapers running a train on your digital asshole adds up QUICK.

It’s why normal human being people get sued to shit for webscraping data from certain companies who care. But companies don’t get sued because go fuck yourself. Kill bytedance.
