He's an idiot. He was screen sharing during a joint project with his former employer (Valeo) and had the stolen code behind the powerpoint, that was then minimized or closed, it even was in a dir called 'valeoCode' or something like that

That's a Kbin thing, you'll get used to it. Also images in comments like the one you posted doesn't federate with some (I think, maybe they don't federate at all) lemmy servers, so maybe they can't see it either

Don't worry, it's a Kbin thing. It doesn't format correctly some fancy texts from Lemmy and we see a text box with the html tags and all. It should be ok on lemmy

ThankYouVeryMuch , 9 months ago to nostupidquestions in Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair??

Everyone's hair is different so you'll have to find what works for yours, but there's three things you have to do: washing, conditioning and untangling, how often and in what order you'll got to figure out.

My hair's curly and dry so for me is washing, conditioning and untangle with lots of conditioner applied. If you have straight and more greasy hair maybe you'll condition first, with more conservative quantities favoring the tips/avoiding the scalp, and wash after, untangling with a daily dry brushing.

Hair ties are ok, just don't go for too long with a very tight pony tail or bun. I keep my hair tied most of the time and my hair line is not the same as when I was 20 but I would say that is better than most of my short-haired peers (maybe improved uv protection).

And then you have styling products, there's a whole world of them. I use leave in conditioner and/or gel, or nothing, or whatever shit I just got to try and see if my hair likes it (spoiler: the fucker usually doesn't, and they're not cheap). I would say in general foams and mouses give a dryer look while oily/waxy products give a more wet finish.

ThankYouVeryMuch , 9 months ago to technology in Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate

I agree to a certain point, I have Linux on all my computers because of the freedom. But I have an iPhone, the only apple thing I own, and one of the main reasons is the AppStore and how restrictive it is.

I would say that for the average end user being able to install software from anywhere is a liability and causes a lot more issues than it solves, I've seen lots of computers running like trash because the users kept just typing 'download <software> free' on google and going along with any random shady site that popped. Apple cater more to these average users than to power users, and honestly the google play store is a dumpster fire. A walled garden doesn't sound that bad when it's the wastelands outside

It absolutely is Apple's place to policy the content in their store.

Doubling the voltage for a given circuit would result in four times the power, P = V^2 R (*This is wrong, it's over R, see comment below). So 6db

ThankYouVeryMuch , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in How did Android's update support become so inconsistent?

Right? And also two things:

First, android is FOSS the same as Darwin (the system under iOS) is. Apple puts its proprietary drivers, ui, and other apps the same as android phone vendors do.

An second, Free Software/Open Source doesn't mean that you have to ship the phone with all the code anyone pushes. You have control of your repository. You can pay developers and only include the software the build. FOSS means that the user of the software has access to the source code, as well as other rights like modifying or redistributing it.

I see in a lot of discussion about free software some people say things like 'the code is open to everyone so you don't know what they can put there' as if there were no filter or anything

ThankYouVeryMuch , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in How did Android's update support become so inconsistent?

I see lots of confusion here. Android IS NOT Free/Open Source software, at least not the one you get with your phone. It's true that the bare bones OS is FOSS, but the same is true with iOS and Darwin. But they have a lot of proprietary crap on top of them.

The reason for offering a longer or shorter period of OS updates is a business decision, not a technical matter. There's at least one android phone (fairphone that I know of, not an ad or anything) with 7 years of updates, which is longer than the iPhone.

These arguments of costs of development and having to support hardware fall apart when you take into account that some smaller vendors are offering longer support than bigger ones like Samsung or hwawei, and when you look at which hardware they mount, it's basically the same. Same processors, very little variety in cameras and screens...
