They’ve used both in the past. It kind of depends on the chipset.
I’m Hunter Perrin. I’m a software engineer.
I wrote an email service: https://port87.com
I write free software: https://github.com/sciactive

Yeah, I read their about page. I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure. But mostly, I don’t trust articles with AI image headers. It makes it seem like the article is written by a bot.
I agree with everything up until you said “dilutes”. I would argue that immigrant cultures don’t dilute the host country’s culture, they add to it. In other words, the culture that was there still exists in the same amount and in the same “concentration”, and immigrants bring their culture to newly developing areas of the country/state.
I’m not gonna trust the headline of an article with an AI image from a place called epicenter.works.
A giant douche who’s a convicted felon and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history.
I know, right?! I can go across the border and buy one in Mexico, but I can’t buy one here. It’s infuriating!
The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)
What sucks is you can’t even buy a truck like the second from the left anymore. I mean, you can buy a used one from a few decades ago, but nobody makes small utility trucks like the old Rangers. The new Ranger is basically just an old F150 (maybe even F250).
Happy cake day, FlyingSquid.
Alternate headline: 3/10 Americans are living in fantasy land.
This is great news. Shipping X11 on a system that doesn’t need it is a big waste.
It’s because the same people who wrote the code usually write the docs, and people who are really good at writing code usually aren’t good at writing docs. It’s two different skill sets that usually don’t coincide.
Case in point: my own documentation for https://nymph.io
I know it’s bad, but I don’t know how to make it good. The code, however, is pretty good. It runs my email service.
Open source projects also aren’t very good at attracting people who both want to volunteer their time writing technical documentation and can.
I’m really sorry that whoever tried to educate you failed so miserably.
Facebook never tried in the first place. They just put up a facade that they’ve let fall down.
So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.
I feel like a lot of the issue is that software engineers used to be subsidized by both investors propping up unsustainable business models and extremely invasive targeted advertising, and both of those things are either phasing out or being legislated away. A lot of the tracking and advertising practices that kept services like Facebook and Gmail free are illegal now (rightfully so), and investors are starting to realize that not everything is going to become profitable just by having an app.
I think the solution is probably two fold. First, I think the government should invest more into open source software. A lot of the work that keeps the internet running is done by unpaid volunteers. And second, I think we need to go back to paying for services. Giving away services for free because you use them to spy on your users is just an unethical business model. It’s profitable, but so is child labor.
You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.
Your “friend’s” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.
To each their own.
