You don’t support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn’t just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.

What public figure are you following on exclusively Twitter that is important enough to stay there?

Yeah, your local gas station gossip magazine you pop culture addict

It honestly (usually) does lead to a fantastic product! I maintain my own significantly used tools independently and completely agree. I also have seen locally (as a corporate pawn and life-long software engineer) what happens once somebody quits and no longer maintains their beautiful project(s).

You work so much FASTER alone than you do in a group. You also can NEVER get as far with your tool when you work alone. I think the best FOSS tools are born from independent savant developers, but for them to reliably be carried on, they have to be passed down to SOMEONE. It’s not your job to foster the entire next generation of tablet-children to be able to push golden commits to your curl 2.0 repo; it is pretty worthwhile to foster at least a handful of interested and headstrong people to understand your work in its entirety, and carry on its progress. And then they can do the same, and FOSS will live on forever (as it SHOULD be).

You probably spent an obscene amount of time developing an S+ tier piece of tooling, it would be pertinent to spend another marginal month or so to raise some lil star to be able to mimic your work once you tap out.

Having more free time is cool, but there’s more things in life. As MC Ride said: “LIKE GETTING YOUR DICK. RODE ALL FUCKING NIGHT.” Find some lil dick rider to carry on your shit.

if a maintainer doesn’t want your sticky grubby toddler hands fuckin in their cookie jar, it’s their fucking cookie jar and they can tell you to fuck off.

Yeah, that is exactly how it works. And doing that leads to your tool dying since you have no clue how to foster a community to take care of it.

Original creators and maintainers are hitting retirement age.

And not many good younger people are available to take the mantle.

This is the long-term cost of how persnickety FOSS maintainers are when it comes to accepting outside contributions to their work.

Most social Lemmy user:

MFs say they want a new age rage against the machine but don’t wanna go to Grimey Gabe’s house out in the boonies, pack it in nut to butt in his garage, listen to hardcore bands, and get their head caved in during the most pit.

You gotta support the zoomer Zach De La Roches while they’re small to see them transform into a full grown Tom Morrello

I don’t mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.

They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.

ICANN shouldn’t get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.

If you want someone else’s servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you’re doing something illegal

I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server’s IP. I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

Yeah kinda, my coworkers talk to ChatGPT like it actually knows stuff and use it to fix their broken terraform code.

It takes them a week or longer to get simple tickets done like this. One dude asked for my help last week, we actually LOOKED at the error codes and fixed his shit in about 15 minutes. Got his clusters up within an hour. Normally a week long ticket – crunched out in 60 minutes by hand.

It feels ridiculous because it’s primarily senior tech bro engineer types who fumble their work with this awful tool.

Lots of deadlinks and farming alliances with mission statements.

Not a lot of links to buy food from farmers.

DeepSeek claimed the model training took 2,788 thousand H800 GPU hours, which, at a cost of $2/GPU hour, comes out to a mere $5.576 million.

That seems impossibly low.

DeepSeek is clear that these costs are only for the final training run, and exclude all other expenses

I don’t believe in this shit so don’t blow up my inbox.

In alt right memelord places, it’s more about the mass produced, low quality bullshit that gets peddled (by the global Jewish cabal) to the common man (Non Jewish people) to get them addicted. It means food yeah, like lil Debbie’s and McDonalds, but also shit like marvel movies and Taylor Swift, and whatever else is popular (aka WOKE).

Does saying fuck stop the deaths or something

This shit isn’t related, what are you talking about

Idk maybe it’s just my area, but there’s about a dozen of these on Facebook market place right now for me:

The mileage is “high”, about the same as what I bought mine at (140,000), but it’s a civic. Do basic car maintenance on time, and it will live for twice that many miles. If OP wants to hit me up, I’ll help them look for something in their area or straight up get them in touch with one of the people selling near me. I’m down to road trip the car to them if it’s less than like 8 hours away too

Edit: JK that shit says euros, can’t drive to you sorry lmao

@platypus@lemmings.world

Craigslist ad got me a 2010 Honda Civic for $5,000 in the city. Nothing but oil changes and one new battery, it’s been living for about 6 years now

Go outside

Speach lmao
