My ex long-term partner of 10 years went through a couple large spans of time where they couldn't find work, and so ended up being stay-at-home. This wasn't a huge problem for me because my income was enough to support the both of us pretty comfortably, but I knew they didn't feel great about not finding work :/

We had a pretty serious disagreement at some point in their long period without work, and the night after that happened, I considered the possibility that they might feel like they're being coerced into staying because they don't have a way to leave without being made poor if they did.

We already had a shared checking and savings account, but I knew they probably wouldn't feel comfortable pulling from that if they wanted to leave (even though they would be right to take some of it; it's theirs too), so I set aside a few thousand dollars and sent that to a checking account that only they have access to. I told them that if they ever feel like they were staying for financial reasons that they can use that as a safety net to help with becoming financially independent. I wanted them to have something that only have access to or knowledge of so they could leave on their own terms if they ever needed to. It's not perfect, but it would have covered rent and cost-of-living for them for a few months if it ever came to that.

That probably has the potential for the other person to take advantage of, but we were together for a long time before and after that, and when we did end things, it was mostly amicable, and I don't regret setting up a no-questions-asked way of getting out in the least bit.

Louder, for the "liberal" Zionists still clinging to this.

Ethno-nationalism is not a "one bad apple" situation. That whole ideology is rotten to its core, and has been from its inception.

TIL blahaj.zone has a Peertube instance. Nice!

Agree. Currently, single-file Rust source projects are very un-fun to work with.

They seem to cite getting better rust-analyzer support as an important part of getting cargo-script stabilized, so I'm hopeful.

I cannot wait for cargo-script to stabilize.

This is also true for most "Democratic" politicians. MAGA isn't unique in being genocidal scumfucks.

Not really. IMO, the determining factor for this is how "sticky" a given service is.

Leta is a public search engine that you don't have to pay for their VPN to use, and switching search engines is quite trivial, making this a very easy switch in the event that either service is unsatisfactory.

That said, I have no idea why anyone would want Google search results in 2025 because their search engine is terrible, but more power to anyone that does.

GPL is more freedom for users and developers. MIT is less freedom for users because it grants more "freedom" for some company to exploit the developer's labor by taking it to make something proprietary with it.

If you want to use GPL code, pushover licenses are incorrect because they protect the user and developer from this nonsense.

If the other projects are licensed with a GPL, there is no issue doing any of these things (except using them for proprietary purposes later), which is the point. If you licensed your project incorrectly, that isn't the GPL-licensed project's fault.

Precisely. The Rust community should stop using pushover licenses.

You know WebKit browsers, like Epiphany (GNOME Web), already exist, right? I don't see why they'd feel the need to abandon WebKit in their Linux port.
