Funny how the project aims to fight AI scraping, but seems to be using an AI-generated image of a bird?

I am working on a home-oriented solution (hardware box + software) for backups of the media files from phones. The solution facilitates having a separate backup drive (stored in a closet) in addition to the primary data drive in the box.

Can we thank getty by popularizing free photography sites like unsplash? Any other alternatives?

If you're a photographer - upload your stuff to unsplash. Free high-quality content for casual use is something getty can't compete with, leaving them only with specialized markets (olympics photography etc)

It's a pity most compare it to Lightroom, whereas there are more sound competitors - take a look at RawTherapee, Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW or SilkyPix. All of them have ups and downs, Rawtherapee is fast bug buggy as hell and has no a

Thanks, for paradox. It's not a wild west when you call people out because they are unpleasant. In modern world (as I see it) you create a competition and public follows best one.

Thanks, I got your point, and I don't value Torvalds over other people, but I value his kernel engineering skills over other people's kernel engineering skills. You know, if it has to be our decision whom to isolate, why not creat

You don't tolerate them but want them to tolerate others. TBH, I'd be totally fine if Linus ranted over my code because that's the way he is and I don't believe in community that tries to isolate an individual because he

As a native speaker I can assure you that the ukrainian word Krai (край) has two meanings - a land and a border. But border only of a physical thing - of a cup, table or watch. Never as a border of a country (or geo-social area), for this

Don't forget Ukraine, bro. Now we're trying to keep distance from Russia as far as we can. We had some shared history, but that's only because of our geographical proximity. Everything else - culture, traditions, ideas, langu

Write a damn unit test for your padding function. We should share unit tests, not one-line libs. Libs with unit tests can be one-liners and be as fine-grained as we like, since it's something your users don't have to download

I wouldn't say current Ukrainian government started as a "regime hostile to Russia". Annexiation of Crimea made it hostile to Russia
