Whoops, certs expired. That should be fixed now. Apologies.

Rooting Android 2.x and yearning for simpler times

Anyway, good luck seeking financial contributions for anything in the software field when everyone remembers you as purposefully bricking their software.

I'm skeptical that this stunt was done in good faith when the developer in question has the means to trade relatively large sums of cryptocurrency.

For transparency, I'll disclose that I've been financially compensated (through GSoC as well as my current employer) for my contributions to free software. It would be great if more folk could be compensated, but my point still stands: if you're not doing this for your own enjoyment, you're doing it for the wrong reason.

The folks in the Javascript community are funny. If you have a problem with corporate users, don't license your code as MIT.

Furthermore, why do you feel entitled to payment when your best-known contribution is a trivial Node library that does little more than wrap the ANSI escape sequences? I certainly wouldn't pay money for that.

If you don't find working on free software to be intrinsically rewarding.. don't. If you claim that you owe nothing to anyone, I will point out that neither does anyone owe anything to you.

Nothing like finding my boss's posts to the Gentoo forums from 15 years ago

Holding of on buying an electric car until Pine64 makes one.

Doesn't have a lot *yet*, I should say. I'll be working on this more. Just need to stop to work on grad school applications.

It's an 80% solution and doesn't have a lot of what I wanted in this MPD client, but this only took a Saturday afternoon. gtk-rs is very pleasant to work with.

I don't drink often. But when I do, it's a pint at 11 in the morning.

DHL managed to get me a tube of urushi from Tokyo in three days. I've never been this impressed by something as mundane as international shipping.

New Limp Bizkit album slaps. I feel like I'm reliving life when I was 13.
