Hot kinky forgejo has a new competitor!

Yes yes, not marketing at all. “It’s so powerful, only those worthy enough can wield it.” Make it so exclusive it seems illicit to acquire, that people will pay anything to join the club.

The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A “pure” language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for “pure”.

There seems to be a correlation between doing productive things for fun and higher intelligence and education

Correlation does not mean causation. Many people do productive things because they can. And being productive is also very dependent on definition.

If you’re uneducated, unlucky enough to grow in a household where ideas aren’t valued and failure is mocked or success belittled, and of course poor, chances are great you will not do much in life. However, if you’re poor, surrounded by motivated individuals who thrive to be successful and push you to be educated, and they do what they van to get you into school, there’s a good chance you will succeed.

The biggest problems are lack of access to good education and opportunity. “High intelligence” is just an excuse to confuse success with intelligence and hard work. That’s not how our society works.

UBI would change opensource forever

Please provide the video with the question included. This looks cut to fit the anti murena narrative that GrapheneOS has been screaming about for years. It’s the same tactic Republicans use against others: cutting only a bit that sounds bad when taken out of context.

Communick is fascist? Where did you get that information?

No need to do it yourself. Let someone do it for you. There’s Communickwhich can also setup a matrix server for you (in addition to Lemmy). There might be others, but I dont know of them.

I think it’s the cost of a Netflix subscription.

Thanks. I had to use a VPN. No idea why it’s banning my IP. There can’t be too many people in this building using the fediverse.

Image gone 🤕 Did Microslop slopify VSCode?

I’d have to find their blog post again where they reveal their financials. IIRC it was 50 staff and each was earning half a million or something on average. Maybe I read or remember it wrong but the blog post or comments by Signal staff (maybe even the CEO?) were quite elitist regarding their reasons for hiring US staff or staff living in the US only.

What the true reasons are I dont know. Maybe indeed multinational hiring is just too complicated, who knows, but the way the responses were worded were maybe unfortunate, but at revealing for me.

I donate at least 1k a year to opensource. There is no shortage of good opensource projects deserving donations; good in the sense of quality and those that fit into my worldview.

I’m a fierce believer in remunerating opensource and of way stronger political opinions. What I won’t donate to, is this idea that the US is the only place on the planet where skilled workers exist that can do this type of work. Orgs believing in US execeptionalism are great. Go be exceptional, just without my money. They won’t miss it.

I try and donate where I can, but stuff like Signal, that refuses to employ engineers outside of the US because “talent doesn’t exist anywhere else” is where I draw the line. Yes, opensource donations are amazing, but not for projects with attitudes like that.

Straight into the gutter

Github users right now: I don’t care, I’ll depend on it harder now!

IPhones dont have copy and paste???
