  • Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.

    Oh fuck off!

    Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.

    A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.

    My main reason for using an app for Walgreens anyway is so I don’t have to log in each time. When I go to refill my prescriptions, I’m usually in a hurry and just want to do it and move on. Refill usually takes maybe 4-5 clicks? And often less than 2-3 minutes.

    Whereas on the website, between logging in and finding the medications, it’s a much more involved process and I often need to use a computer to navigate it.

    Oddly enough the CVS mobile website is pretty streamlined so I often don’t need the app for it. And their mobile site supports passkeys whereas Walgreens doesn’t.





  • I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.

    The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?

    What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.

    I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.








  • I think that’s part of it. The other part is that primary school teachers have to teach to the curriculum and not what they want. So if they want to teach about how whites got preferential treatment but the county school board says “No CrItIcAl RaCe ThEoRy!1”, they can’t teach it.

    My college history professors were far more engaging. Especially my military history professor.
