It does give anti-SystemD "why make new when what we got now is good vibes".
Their Java bashing was more a criticism of design patterns than Java, but fell into the meme bashing of tech based on one example. Find an old bug and say tech is dreadful as a result.
Become a professional, then you'll commit every time you make a small bit of functionality. If you're doing massive changes like this, you haven't broken something after multiple days of code enough. When you do that and you have no idea what you broke it with and when, it conditions you towards small iterable chunks.
The thing is, if they don't offer these cheap stuff, they may have to do something crazy, like pay staff what they are worth. This definitely looks like a false economy.
One thing I've noticed about the alternatives subreddit, is there is a lot of people persuading people against alternatives. It's almost like there was some organising to persuade people there was no alternative.
I mean, when you factor in you'd probably get removed, or shadow-banned, or have your posts removed for mentioning Lemmy, it feels like there is a multifaceted approach to discouraging folk from leaving the reddit teet.
While there is an element of truth, it's scattered in with exaggeration and only focussing on negatives. The objective was to say Lemmy bad, staying good.
No way is Lemmy more toxic than reddit. I find those "well ackshually" folks are much less here.
You can name your open source software anything and people are fine with it.
GIMP has been setting that path for years.
It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.
I don't agree, it is perfectly normal to spy on people and make sure they're not committing a crime. I'm sure execs of these companies and those politicians would be fine with that if we were watching from their windows just to make sure they aren't using illegal content... /s
Seems more than reasonable. In every case like this, I try to ask if I was in their shoes and I had that level of responsibility, what would I do?
I think anyone minded to check our piracy content knows where to find it and can register to one of those instances. This allows lemmy.world to remain a general purpose open instance for people migrating who don't yet know what they are after.
This could actually be an incentive for people to move away from world and that gives a little more space for people to move across and dip their toes in the lemmy ocean.
They have already opposed it, and your speculation based on your dislike of their CEO probably isn't helpful. It's against the open web and Mozilla has no incentive to implement this. It's something only an ad company would be keen on.
I'm British. We don't have the accent American's think we do. We're far more scummy and swear far more. Proudly working class, and proudly unpretentious.
If you aren't using Firefox yet. Start, ASAP.
Google tried to exert control on the internet with web manifest v3 and now again here. Letting google dictate web standards is a mistake. Using Firefox shows companies they need to support more than chrome.
Gaming company lays off staff and complains it's not making enough games...
Do they hear themselves?
