  • I don't type good sometimes when I'm on the go and I make things redundant. In this case it even changed the meaning. I tried to go edit my comment but I got back a 500 error

  • I meant to put $7k

  • "Look at this asshole, learning how the world works. MAKE HIM SERVE COFFEE WITH THE REST OF THEM"

  • We could take away Elon Musks obscene wealth, leave him with enough to experience no material change in quality of life, and pay every other american who isn't him $7,000k. And he's just one of 735 billionaires. We could tax the shit out of these people and neither they nor us would notice a difference at time, but then when it was time to provide social benefits from government programs, everyone would notice "wow. Doesn't this country work so much better? Look at all the things we can fund!"

  • Pair programming over the net. The old school way is tmux and vim but to do that you and your partner need port 22 open and most enterprises are gonna be like "hell no you can't let people connect to your company owned work laptop SSH into your machine"

  • Pretty common feature. Sublime, Lapce, VS Code, certain Emacs distributions, certain NeoVim GUIs... We live in a world where a lot of people have GPUs and CPUs aren't getting faster so if you want to get more work done (ie, running LSPs, tree sitter, completion engines, snippet engines, debuggers etc) you need to offload some of that work somewhere

  • It has Microsoft BLObs baked in as part of the build process. VS Codium is the FLOSS distribution of VS code's open source code. Liveshare doesn't appear in the package repo Codium uses (because of the Microsoft BLObs it contains as an extension). For work I manually download the live share extension VSX and load it into vscodium

  • Hell yeah it does! It was originally positioned for OSM users who needed a hiking companion. The other types of navigation have been a later addition

  • If exchange servers and outlook.com weren't total dickheads about their very special and proprietary Auth methods I'd literally never use outlook as a client

  • I gotta tell you... If you're almost as old or young as Thunderbird that makes you a graybeard. Do me a favor. Next time you get out of a chair, try not to make a noise. We all find out we've turned old somehow.

    Just so its clear this comment is coming from a loving place I love Thunderbird and you seem nice and I enjoyed your comment. Just razzing you a little bit as someone else who's also around the same age as Thunderbird

  • Thunderbird and K-9 (which will soon be Thunderbird mobile). I'm not a Thunderbird Stan or anything, but I was running into issues with Claws, Seamonkey, and Fairmail

  • Its also a breakdown of America's willingness to resist authoritarianism. Too many people would rather have a Russian authoritarian government because they're scared of socialism because they've been primed to fear it. Ironically they're turning to a soviet fascist to protect them from soviet socialism

  • No one wants to ban technology outright. What we're saying is that the big LLMs are actively harmful to us, humanity. This is not fear mongering. This is just what's happening. OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are stealing from humanity at large and setting the planet on fire to do it. For years they told us stealing intellectual property on an individual level was a harmful form of theft. Now they're doing the same kind of theft bit its different now because it benefits them instead of us.

    What we are arguing is that this is bad. Its especially extra bad because with the death of big search a piece of critical infrastructure to the internet as we know it is now just simply broken. The open source wonks you celebrate are working on fixing this. But just because someone criticizes big tech does not mean they criticize all tech. The truth is the FAANG companies plus OpenAI and Microsoft are killing our planet for it to only benefit their biggest shareholders

  • And I specifically thank you for it. I didn't know there was a meta reference going on. Upvoted @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com for excellent joke craft on account of it

  • Programming is a form of communication. When you develop a piece of software, it will intrinsically be biased to boost the kinds of messages you believe in. This is both because you as a person think about problems a certain way, and because the code you write is meant to convey to others how you were thinking about the problem you were trying to solve. Who heads projects and how they communicate with their community matters to what the product produced will become, not just because of how the leads will think about the problem, but also because people who don't get along with them won't wind up contributing. Beehaw requested moderation tools that the lead lemmy Devs didn't view as valuable. The result is beehaw, reasonably, gave up on getting PRs merged and issues tracked in the issue tracker, instead choosing to look at Sublinks which was explicitly started in response to Lemmy's devs not behaving well with their own development community.

    And for anyone saying Sublinks is splintering the Lemmy Dev community, no, lemmy's devs did that themselves

  • Letting fascists loose on github doesn't make open source software more appealing. Look at how much worse twitter is to be on after relaxing the moderation standards. Now imagine that for open source. We need to make sure open source is approachable to everyone and that means being careful with our language and not being dismissive when someone opens a PR to make the language more approachable to all

  • Less hardware support than Linux without enough substantially better about it to make it anyone's clear preference. Which isn't to say it doesn't have advantages over Linux. Just that the average BSD user is going to be able to easily swallow their pride and run Linux if things went wrong with a BSD install (trust me, I've literally done this, these people do exist)

  • Why are you doing all project management in Discord?

  • If someone's downloading a github repo as a zip I'd consider that a sign they're not familiar with github lol
