Open source is only as useful as the contributors and reviewers. Finding things after the fact helps noone.

People need to stop revering open source as the solution to humanity’s problems and treat it as a useful tool, nothing more.

Bleeding hearts rarely do their cause justice (referring to the person you replied to)

Chaotic evil

The kind of community people like this would create doesn’t need to exist anyway.

Flies, honey, vinegar, asshole.

Pick your terms.

My last raise was 10k. But that was after 7+ years of no raises (agency work, slow times). When COVID hit, our business picked up for 2 years straight and I finally convinced them it was stable enough to commit. We’re a small company and they’d rather give out bonuses or assistance with personal expenses than commit to an annual salary increase (which I get), but COL has spiked in recent times, so the raise was well past due.

As a Windows user that dabbles in Mac but is definitely not an expert, I get seriously frustrated when I try to share my screen in ??? meeting product only to have to adjust permissions and be told I probably need to restart the app (in the middle of a meeting). I’ve found other minor nags with MacOS along the same lines. They are trivial at best, but can be seriously interrupting. I agree with the high security defaults, but the UX could be improved.

Shit I’m way past that. I’m ready to watch the world burn so people are forced to deal with the consequences of their treachery toward this planet and her people. Complacency needs to be eliminated.

Not to mention refactoring support…

There seems to be a trend of new (old) developers who find that strong typing is nothing more than a nuisance.

History repeating itself in the IT world. I don’t wanna be around to support the systems that inherit these guys.

the horrible storage performance

Que?

Rather than be used for war, they’ll be used for threats of violence and propaganda

Surveillance is the word you’re looking for. Take all those NSA pipelines and run them through an AI and BAM, you’ve got your “terrorists”.

100+ million years qualifies as right in the middle of “for long” in my book. The fact that an asteroid or comet of biblical proportions wiped them out has nothing to do with evolutionary effectiveness. Most of the animals that did survive either A) lived in water or B) lived underground.

The mice are running the litterbox over there, indeed.

Reddit is a complete and utter shithole.

This. I’ve had a Lemmy account for a while but reddit suspended me yesterday for calling someone stupid - after they made disparaging remarks about someone else. Their account was untouched. I know because I saw posts dated after my suspension.

I don’t know if Lemmy will work out or not, but Reddit has proven they’re not fit to moderate any significant portion of the web’s content and I can’t be bothered to consume and contribute in that environment any longer. I submitted an account deletion request with an extra slice of my mind on the matter.

We’ve had one misdirection yes, but what about second furry China men?

No, I think they mean “friends” sharing accounts.

In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it’s their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That’s all I get out of this - they’re tired of people abusing the generosity.

The truth is that leadership world wide only values privacy when it’s their own. Everything else is a big f’n show. Information is the single most valuable commodity on the planet and knowing your potential “opponents” is priceless. Maintaining power over others necessitates invading the privacy of others in the minds of 99% of people.
