Command Shift: Microsoft’s Telling Embrace Of sudo https://tedium.co/2024/02/08/microsoft-sudo-command-embrace/

sucks how musk does embrace-extend-extinguish by buying up whatever company happens to be doing a vaguely progressive thing (electric cars, space travel) & then running that company in such a way that it's inevitably doomed to catastrophic failure. like, is he trying to prevent electric cars and space travel from happening?

creating an open source clone of a close source product is not completely pointless (the people who left twitter for mastodon did so for a good reason, even though, no matter what anybody says, mastodon is a twitter clone), but it is at best a small first step. a commercial mindset produces pervasive effects on software design in ways that exert pressure towards becoming commercial again, and most open source developers are totally unaware that they are doing this because they have never known anything else. (as an example, the fediverse relies upon DNS instead of being fully peer-to-peer, which means somebody needs to pay for a central node that's beefy and has a reliable network connection and then rent a domain name from ICANN, and on top of that, do support for users who are prohibited from supporting themselves unless they start their own instance -- and this applies to any piece of software that has a client-server architecture over http/s on the open internet.) free software will only become truly free when it embraces the things only free software can do.

has nick cage ever really embraced the hairpiece lifestyle? like, has he ever done a role where costume and makeup was like, yeah, it's a hairpiece, everybody knows it's a hairpiece, so let's really make the most of the freedom the hairpiece format provides us and pick impossibly wild hair?
