I upped my donation to them this year. They really do deserve it.

Hey, this is @haui@mastodon.giftedmc.com I think.

I like the idea of an opensource job board. Conceptually, I think the biggest conceptual issue before getting this off the ground is privacy.

Sure, most information on job boards and profiles of workers are to be public, but there is some information that should stay only accessible to certain people e.g your phone number, email address, current place of employment and other stuff should only be visible if given access. Some people don't care about that at all and would even put their home address online, but some people don't want to be tracked everywhere or found and contacted easily e.g you make a comment somebody disagrees with and they start dogpiling you.

I think certain information should be encrypted and only exchanged/shared with somebody you really want to share it with. Otherwise you have to put all your trust into some person hosting the instance. Right now, we do put trust in fediverse instances, but the date I'm putting out here would hopefully not make it easy to identify me. It will be difficult and maybe inconvenient to have no personal information on a job board. Unless of course the job board is just for publish jobs and won't have public, professional profiles.

Why is that better?

Description lists?

Richtext? Like this or this ?

SVG handling? I've never seen a manpage with SVGs nor have I seen a manpage with images, much less image captions.

For double the pay, I'd work overtime to get something done - if I like it. I used to work 50-60 hour weeks with no overtime pay (yes, yes, I was exploited). Had I been paid overtime and at double the rate, it would've pushed my annual salary to 1.5-2x . But my guess is that either the manager would've been fired for being shit, I would've been fired for costing too much, or they would've simply hired another engineer to join the team (we did need more engineers).

How should strings be terminated? Should they always be a tuple of length in bytes and data?

Where's his wheel? 😋

Beautiful ferris though. That's a very nice present.

Dumb, ignorant people voting for dumb, ignorant people gets you dumb, ignorant people at the top. What a surprise!

If the well is full of shit, you'll only be pulling shit to the top.

Groff is indeed such a crap format to write documentation in. It nearly reads like zalgo.

I can't wait for the anti markdown people to come out of the woodwork though and complain that it's "the progressivist agenda" to be more user friendly because devs aren't users.

"If you can't write Groff, maybe you dont deserve to read the output"

"The markdown evangelists are so annoying. You can't just rewrite everything in markdown"

"When will this markdown craze stop??? I can't hear it anymore!"

Identity politics entered the developer arena.

Give me a pay raise and I'll put in the hours.

Lemmy is so heave that @jeena@piefed.jeena.net replaced his lemmy instance with a piefed instance and it's using less resources. I like Rust, but like every tool, it has to be used properly.

Sigh... Openscience on proprietary platforms.

Well, at least they got off of Elsevier and WoS, butthere seems to be a lot of work left to be done. Not least how rebuilding a broken system doesn't solve the systemic problems that exist. Moving away from closed source systems is great, no doubt. I just hope it won't lead to the same system being built just with opensource. Instead of being shackled in the dark it might end up being public shackles.

That's the one. Thanks.

Qualcomm should embrace Linux instead of relying on Microsoft. Valve recognized that in at least 2012. Who knows how long it will take Qualcomm to wake up.

People are starting to leave Windows. Windows 11 on ARM is not going to be a good experience and who will want all the AI crap slowing down a gaming rig? People won't be able to install Windows 10 on the new ARM devices so the most likely option will be Linux with either SteamOS, Bazzite or something else that can run Steam.

Valve has also been investing in running x86_64 on ARM (can't remember the name of the project) and even going to use it in the Steam Frame. It will run on Linux, not windows. Ignoring Linux is going to be idiotic if Qualcomm wants to be appealing to gamers.

Pushover licenses show how much influence big tech companies have over opensource. It's in their interest of promote these licenses.

You don't need to go 4 weeks without. That's like going off nicotine cold turkey - it's hard. Build it up. Install an app blocker that limits your time on apps or even the internet.

It's possible to live a life connected to the internet in a healthy way. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. The problem is our education system has failed us and our youth.

I am a programmer, but have no problem putting down my phone and having deep discussions that can take over 8 hours. Sleeping deeply isn't a problem either. Put me on any moving, covered objet (car, train, plane, boat, whatever) and I'll be sleeping in minutes. It's possible for me to go on a holiday, be active for most of the day, fhrck my phone for an hour at night, sleep, and repeat that for weeks.

Phones and the internet are tools. It's how you use them that matters. They aren't immediately evil because a bunch of people haven't been guided how to use them.

The claims of "I wrote 4 essays in 4 days" are like the crap I read about No But November. People talk about it as if they reach a new realm of existence. "By day 100 I was levitating and dreaming up things I never would've thought of when touching my dick 3 times daily!".

Relax. You're addicted. Everything in moderation even moderation.

159 C CVEs released on the same day BTW.

Looks like I'll be checking that out.

We all have limits. For some communicating with those who tolerate genocide is alright, for others using their software is fine, and for even others they will happily give money to them à la "it's not me, so why should I care?". But if the number of people who don't care is not enough to sustain that software development, it will have an effect. We can wait to see if we get that far or do something about it.

I'll check out Piefed and Mbin as that seems to be most common answer here.

I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can't do everything. That is why the question is "we" not "hey @gerowen@piefed.social why don't you make a fork, you lazy bastard". Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I'm willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.
