Whenever people ask why anyone makes open source software for free, I’m going to use this as a metaphor.

Dang, a whole dollar? I would sell origami tanks for 25¢ each, didn’t realize people would pay more than that.

That’s you assuming all things are equal.

Why not just post on his website directly

I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re on Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

Drives me crazy when I see this kind of format for things like programming. Nothing like pausing the video and trying to see what their code says.

Exactly! Always push for code pointers for everything people tell you about the codebase. Even if the code has a bug and isn’t working as intended, it’s so important to know the actual truth if what’s happening.

An easy way to confirm your first point: would you still want to do it if you were paid significantly less? If so, then yeah, you’re in the right place.

So many problems can be solved by just reading the code. A corollary to this: make sure the code you write is readable.

I absolutely don’t understand people who think the best course of action is to waste their time giving Reddit a ton of traffic to create a tiny protest on r/place that will have little impact on anything.

Really though. Now that the sub is officially dead, people will start looking for an alternative.

Exactly. This event is an effort for them to prove that the platform is just as active and enjoyable as it was before the chaos.

Who on earth decided to leave the projector on while they took the group photo?

Not worth watching past season 4, imo. Season 2 is the peak season, if you ask me.

I actually had to temporarily block the memes community because of this. Sorting by hot resulted in nothing but memes, and it was driving me crazy that they were doing the whole “post old memes” thing.

I love how you didn’t even read the sidebar of this community and just posted whatever you wanted anyway.

Yes, because bicycles sharing the lane with cars for random stretches works so well. No one’s life is in danger here! /s

My first job was as a seasonal delivery helper for UPS during the holidays. We would work crazy days, 8 am to 8 pm usually. We wouldn’t even stop for lunch, I would take bites of food I had brought between stops. I figured that was just the way things were, never had a job before that.

When I saw my paycheck, I noticed they were taking out time for both lunch breaks and other breaks that were required by law. I never took a single one of those breaks, because the driver I worked with didn’t. I felt powerless to complain, because I really needed a job, but looking back it pisses me off to no end. That was blatant theft of my time.

Rule #1 in internet privacy: don’t assume best intentions of anyone. Just because it is open source does not mean whoever hosts the instance didn’t modify the source.

Idk man, that filter led me to this post.
