A spot includes a downloadable file and accompanying metadata and is intended to be shared with other users. A spot can be compared to a traditional search engine index entry. However, the difference is that it is user-generated and is intended to help people identify, organize, and share content.

The layman would think of it as a file. So music, movies, text, whatever.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Spotweb client for Spotnet:

Spotweb is a Spotnet implementation in PHP. Spotnet only shows actual Spots - spots are manually created by humans which categorize them and provide an image and description for the spot. You cannot compare Spotweb with for example Newznab or other such systems as its a moderated and curated system with manual intervention.

This makes Spotweb slightly slower for new content but should most likely raise the bar on quality - depending on the Spotters.

Spotarr is an alternative client.

Hyprland is a right-wing community, because a sole moderator is being a dick to the trans community? Am I reading that correctly? Must be missing some context

I’ve cloned drives from an existing steam deck onto another brand new drive for a new steam deck. The swap you are doing should work the same without issue.

Code is a liability.

You could probably build a tool that assesses the risk of any given PR based on this and several other signals. PRs with enough risk should require justification and sign off.

As long as we can never fully understand when or how it will turn red, and sometimes when you wrap it in towels it stops being red, I’m all for it.

I’ve been doing this for the last 5 years using dynv6. Feel free to reach out if you need any help making it happen.

Proton is the gateway drug to us getting more Linux native games. In due time!

Probably for the same reason Nintendo shuttered the stores for 3DS and Wii U over the last year. They are attempting to consolidate infrastructure, support, user base, and sales.

It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you’ve listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn’t to say those other emulators aren’t making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.

I had to read this like six times, because it was so illogical my brain refused to comprehend.

In a different world maybe, but I can already see the headlines, “Mozilla open sources lackluster AI tool”. PR is unfortunately a thing, and once you miss that initial wave of interest, you’re unlikely to grab attention later without another marketing push. Mozilla is experienced in open sourcing software, so by now they’re pretty good at knowing when to do it and when not to. In other words, it says something that they chose not to do it in this case.

Believe it or not but it requires resources to open source an internal product, especially one that may have been an experiment where some small team was able to convince leadership could become useful to the masses.

React.js at Facebook is a good example of this. It took a lot of effort to externalize and open source React, and tbh the codebase is still kind of garbage when it comes to contributions from those unfamiliar with its intricacies.

It certainly can be a cat and mouse game, but scraping at scale tends to be ahead of the curve of the security teams. Some examples:

Preventing access by requiring an account, with strict access rules can curb the vast majority of scraping, then your only bad actors are the rich venture capitalists.

I hope your resume is good clean fun, just like your meals.

I did, and I stand by what I said.

Review is both taken and given. Peer review does not occur in a single direction, it is a conversation with multiple parties. I can understand if someone misunderstood what I meant though.

As am I, it’s a two way street. You need to review the code, and have it reviewed.

A developer who is afraid of peer review is not a developer at all imo, but more or less an artist who fears exposing how the sausage was made.

I’m not saying a junior who is nervous is not a dev, I’m talking about someone who has been at this for some time, and still can’t handle feedback productively.

In my experience they are held accountable.

I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.

It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?
