it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi
It has been seen.
I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.
Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don’t like. I don’t make excuses to keep using Dogshit.
You don’t support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn’t just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.
What public figure are you following on exclusively Twitter that is important enough to stay there?
Yeah, your local gas station gossip magazine you pop culture addict
It honestly (usually) does lead to a fantastic product! I maintain my own significantly used tools independently and completely agree. I also have seen locally (as a corporate pawn and life-long software engineer) what happens once somebody quits and no longer maintains their beautiful project(s).
You work so much FASTER alone than you do in a group. You also can NEVER get as far with your tool when you work alone. I think the best FOSS tools are born from independent savant developers, but for them to reliably be carried on, they have to be passed down to SOMEONE. It’s not your job to foster the entire next generation of tablet-children to be able to push golden commits to your curl 2.0 repo; it is pretty worthwhile to foster at least a handful of interested and headstrong people to understand your work in its entirety, and carry on its progress. And then they can do the same, and FOSS will live on forever (as it SHOULD be).
You probably spent an obscene amount of time developing an S+ tier piece of tooling, it would be pertinent to spend another marginal month or so to raise some lil star to be able to mimic your work once you tap out.
Having more free time is cool, but there’s more things in life. As MC Ride said: “LIKE GETTING YOUR DICK. RODE ALL FUCKING NIGHT.” Find some lil dick rider to carry on your shit.
if a maintainer doesn’t want your sticky grubby toddler hands fuckin in their cookie jar, it’s their fucking cookie jar and they can tell you to fuck off.
Yeah, that is exactly how it works. And doing that leads to your tool dying since you have no clue how to foster a community to take care of it.
Original creators and maintainers are hitting retirement age.
And not many good younger people are available to take the mantle.
This is the long-term cost of how persnickety FOSS maintainers are when it comes to accepting outside contributions to their work.
Most social Lemmy user:
MFs say they want a new age rage against the machine but don’t wanna go to Grimey Gabe’s house out in the boonies, pack it in nut to butt in his garage, listen to hardcore bands, and get their head caved in during the most pit.
You gotta support the zoomer Zach De La Roches while they’re small to see them transform into a full grown Tom Morrello
It’s true outside of police unions
When BorderLands 3 came out, it had very little pre-order stock which got gobbled up by scalping bots world-wide in under 6 minutes after being made available.
I remember my buddy spent about $300 on a scalped Italian preorder bundle to get all the launch swag because he loved borderlands so much. Then the game dropped, we played together, and it was some DOGshit.
Homie was so pissed off that we ended up drinking and crying about his cheating girlfriend instead because that was more fun than playing BL3 lmao
I don’t mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.
They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.
ICANN shouldn’t get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.
If you want someone else’s servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you’re doing something illegal
I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server’s IP. I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.
Yeah kinda, my coworkers talk to ChatGPT like it actually knows stuff and use it to fix their broken terraform code.
It takes them a week or longer to get simple tickets done like this. One dude asked for my help last week, we actually LOOKED at the error codes and fixed his shit in about 15 minutes. Got his clusters up within an hour. Normally a week long ticket – crunched out in 60 minutes by hand.
It feels ridiculous because it’s primarily senior tech bro engineer types who fumble their work with this awful tool.
Lots of deadlinks and farming alliances with mission statements.
Not a lot of links to buy food from farmers.
I don’t believe in this shit so don’t blow up my inbox.
In alt right memelord places, it’s more about the mass produced, low quality bullshit that gets peddled (by the global Jewish cabal) to the common man (Non Jewish people) to get them addicted. It means food yeah, like lil Debbie’s and McDonalds, but also shit like marvel movies and Taylor Swift, and whatever else is popular (aka WOKE).
Does saying fuck stop the deaths or something
This shit isn’t related, what are you talking about
Internet dude try not to talk about how hot a woman is challenge 2024 difficulty level impossible
Soon to be 40,000 immigrants sent to Guantanamo, and 40,000 more to be put in the worst El Salvadorian prison, even if they are not El salvadorian.
This is a classist argument, this is not something you can even often choose to do if you live in a food desert, or are too impoverished to afford anything more than the subsidized US factory made scraps. It costs nothing to quit Twitter on the other hand, you’re just an addict.
But! I’m lucky enough to have local farmer’s markets out every day near me, and the money to support them. Why would I not consume from the U.S.? I get to see the farms I buy from and meet these people, I have fed peanuts to Praggle’s alpacas and pet their cows. They are local and I have seen that they don’t abuse their animals, so I support them, yes. They treat their animals right and I buy their shit. I also don’t digest gluten and have to make essentially everything I eat myself because of that so it’s not even entirely an option for me to buy processed mass manufactured garbage.
