My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone's dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they're collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer's Apprentice-scale chaos!

Why are you doing that? Don't do that.

It’s $0.01 per install at that scale according to their pricing chart.

Liquor licenses should not be granted to establishments without public transit during business hours.

The American idea of DRIVING TO THE BAR, many of which have parking lots, is completely an utterly unacceptable.

Are we talking about the same stack overflow?

I'm trying to improve my morning routines with Home Assistant. I have a set of Eve Motionblinds connected to Home Assistant, along with my Sonos with Alexa.

My goal is to set an alarm with Alexa, and have the Eve Motionblines raise 15-20m before the alarm goes off as a sort of sunrise alarm clock.

I've looked through the docs, but I can't figure out any way to make something like this happen. Anyone have any ideas?

I’m at Cannes Lions rn. There’s a ton of of the Reddit marketing team here overhearing their conversations with advertisers.

Lemme tell you, that place was doomed to start with.

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

In LitigousEmma's defense, kbin did not comply with the license terms of the open source software, so there is a valid concern here. Unlike most programming languages which are often released under licenses which do not requite attribution.

However, mistakes happen. The open source community is better off if we could all just start from 0 and escalate based on response.

Cross-posting my comment:

This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it's "you screwed me over" from the jump.

I suppose it's bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, "I noticed there's some code I wrote that wasn't attributed, would you mind adding that?". Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren't taken.
