  • Why the hell would I wanna watch a video from some Irish hedge-fund-manager/YouTuber explaining his pet theory that 'industry moving to EVs rapidly is a collective hallucination', and how on earth is this 'climate news'?

    This is shite.

  • They may sell for that new (to people with crayon-stained teeth), but they seem to hold approximately 18% of their resale value after one year. Here's one selling as-new for $48k.

    It will probably not shock you to learn its for sale by a 40 year old serviceman, who is also listing an $8000 unmanned surveillance drone.

  • ^ See this is a great example of completely misunderstand FOSS. The vast majority are personal projects.

    The whole point of making them open source is to share the software they've created for others to enjoy/use, and share the code for others to learn from or utilize in their own projects. Its not to "open the door to let outside help in" as though they're the ones gaining from the arrangement, lol.. the vast majority of FOSS code on npm for example has a single maintainer. Open Source Security Foundation discussing npm stats of almost 60% of all projects having a single maintainer, here: https://github.com/ossf/tac/issues/101

    That you read my comments and focus on compensation, as though I haven't spent 90% of the commentary on other aspects is weird. I'm done responding, but feel free to shout into the void.

  • Who said they were victims? I said I don't see any harm in devs being mildly abrasive as long as it helps keep their passion for the project alive.

    How many projects do you pursue in your free time for no compensation that benefit strangers all over the world, whom can file complaints about your project, asking you to remedy or change it?

    FOSS dev work is not a victim-generating machine, it's just entirely misunderstood and underappreciated. They make a project for them, then they m0ake it free to all.. and the code, and the support. But, you ask them what they dislike the most - it's the support. The endless poorly-filled tickets, the duplicate tickets the submitter didn't search for, the user errors that are explained clearly in the documentation. That part is thankless work. That burns people out. But if they use a joke tag on a support ticket when they close it, it's suddenly "omg, devs are so rude".

    [..] include that type of work on a resume, which is sort of turning that work into future earnings if it helps you get a high paying job.

    Ah yes, FOSS work should be its own reward because they can say they did it. Sort of like how interns should work for free at big companies 'for experience', and young artists/techs/small businesses should help influencers for free because they're 'working for exposure'. Now that attitude is a cop-out.

  • I've seen this on a few repos and it never came across too harsh, the posts tagged with it were deserving. Wish I'd noted the repo names..

    I'm fine with it tbh. FOSS devs need to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of working on the project to keep motivated. If they (or mods) can drop a helpful reply and close an issue as 'skill issue' and get a little chuckle while they give their time for free answering poorly-written queries or bad bug reports then that's a reasonable trade to keep them from burning out.

  • It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced | Ryan Doerfler and Samuel Moyn

    Jump

  • So many commenters have short as fuck memories.

    Biden administration never could have done it because it requires Congress to accept nominations and confirm them - the process is not controlled by the president, only initiated.

    The senate was 48-50 split between Dems and Reps but with two independents generally caucusing/voting with Dems (Bernie and King) taking it to 50-50. However, two of those Democrats were Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin - who both commonly voted against the Democrats legislation and acted as key swing votes for their own benefit.

    There is absolutely no way Biden could have convinced them to expand the court, Joe Manchin voted to confirm Brett Kavanagh for fucks sake - voting against his own party to side with the Republicans and allow a serial rapist into the supreme court.

  • I use Fossify FM for most on-device stuff, thumbs up from me too.

    If I need to copy/move files between my phone and my NAS I use Ghost Commander as it has SMB support and the dual-panels make moving between devices easier to grapple with visually.

  • Newsom criticised for praising Ronald Reagan, who 'facilitated mass AIDS death'

    Jump

  • I don't like Newsom (and am not from the USA), but the context of this Tweet is very clearly a response to Trump and an attack on his behaviour (especially of late), re: insulting/mocking Rob Reiner's death. His office/PR has regularly used Ronald Reagan's quotes (as the former hero of the Republicans) to point out how completely embarrassing and perverse Trump's presidency is to their former 'ethics' and values, and to ignore that context as tacit approval for Reagan is disingenuous.

    This article (from a UK publisher) is really clutching at straws.

    Having said all that, personally I think AOC or Bernie would be 100 times better candidates. Original Tweet below.
