From my experience, Microsoft has generally the worst web developers it seems. It’s not only the naming, but a lot of their websites work horrible. Teams never even worked in Firefox, say whut?

Plus you need to hire less people to manage all services yourself. You can also avoid vendor lock in if you have z proper policy, but most managers don’t think long-term or even care. I started not caring about costs much anymore, it’s not a me problem, it’s a manager problem. I just do enough effort to choose the right setup

A lot of IT companies in NL hire foreigners. There’s just too little local offer. They throw with work visas as a result, because they’ve never heard about remote-first work being possible after covid. They can’t modernize their work culture because of stupid old fashioned managers and as a result NL has one of the worst housing crisis in Europe. And pay ain’t that good either in a lot of cases, taking into account how much you lose on rent.

Innovation my ass. Their UI has been as a disaster as ever. Major reason why I stopped paying for their crappy service years ago

“See this is the problem with liberals…” Doesn’t sound like a first reply from a civil person, to just a simple question I asked, which I asked due to my limited knowledge about current American politics. So you already lost it there.

I didn’t call you a segregationist because of your link. You’re twisting my words in every reply you make. If people like you dominate the political discussions in your country, then I can say for sure that your country has gone down the drain, because all levels of civil conversation have disappeared if you immediately get pushed a label onto you, where the intention is to demonize the person or a group of persons, and any other continuation of the conversation ends in more demonizing and insults. For sure, this is regardless of who’s in power or whether I’m a liberal, left or right. (For the record, I’m consistently more of a centrist in European political terms)

By the way, your insults don’t mean anything to me. They just read like words coming from a frustrated nobody. I clarified myself because I noticed I’m getting mostly downvotes for some posts, and in that way it appears that your hate speech is becoming the truth for some. So I took the liberty to clarify myself and hopefully get around your bullshit.

Anyways, I hope you have a good day and you become happier in life.

Someone that just asked a simple question with the intention of being educated, and not to be immediately pushed into some political group the poster looks down on, and where the intention was nothing more but: you bad, we good. That’s just completely ridiculous, without knowing anything about a) my intention and b) my background.

I did appreciate the link that was mentioned

That’s some first class segregation politics behavior you’re showing there. It’s hard to take you serious from now on.

Crushing unions? Didn’t he personally go to a union strike before to show his support?

How would peer reviewing in a user repo be more a sense of false security compared to official repos? I don’t know any of the arch maintainers, so for me it’s also pure trust they don’t do shady stuff.

Peer reviewing would not be failproof for sure, but at least it would give more security than not reviewing the pkbuilds, and especially to those that aren’t too familiar with them

I would argue that it’s their own fault then. Laziness is not a valid excuse to put yourself so much at risk. If you start doing it consistently, it becomes a habit and won’t take much effort. Of course, the familiarity with PKBUILD syntax has a learning curve

But a peer-reviewing system would be a better approach in AUR. Weird that it’s not been implemented yet.

I don’t get all the noise around AUR being unsafe. Just verify the PKGBUILDS whenever you install or update something.

That’s helpful indeed

Doesn’t bother me at all. A tldr bot was something I was missing here and didn’t know until now that it was here all along

Since when does Lemmy have bots?

Imo, due to them completely ignoring the first and biggest feature request of the public: privacy, it makes it almost completely useless to me. I prefer cash as well, but we also need a digital cash alternative, and that’s where privacy focused crypto is a better alternative for me

Only partially, because there’d be a limit to how many digital euros are available and how much you can have or something like that.

It gives me quite a plasma feeling too
