This is the best analysis I've seen so far. The majority of posts I have seen say "reddit is an inch from death", which isn't even remotely close to accurate. A site can be a 3rd tier, boring, corporate-owned collection of content that has non-exciting revenue, but that's not dead.

Why WOULDN'T we move off if something better came along?

Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don't 100% agree with everyone and I don't have to hold "sanctioned" opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.

Various subreddit moderators getting kicked out, the general mood on reddit, etc. It's also nice to know it's not censored on lemmy...

Debian stable. The mix of having a stable host but being able to pull in flatpak / appimage / docker containers with newer software is awesome.

brings jobs back to America

NOOO not THOSE jobs

Well hell man, give us the details.

This is the real question. I'm sick of people dismissing criticisms against her because she's black and/or a woman. Give me an actual reason to like her!

She's definitely a horrible public speaker. I totally disagree with how she tackled truancy during her time as a DA/AG. Is this just my internalized racism speaking or can I ACTUALLY feel this way?

Nix and Common Lisp seem to sit in the same space -- it's spoken of extremely fondly but has difficulty escaping the lab. For some reason it's extremely technically capable, but fails to find widespread adoption.

Hillary Clinton was widely respected every year

(source needed)

Here's a list of objectionable stuff Hillary was involved with prior to running for president:

  • Hillary Clinton's hawkish stance on war, being more hawkish than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She is specifically noted for advocating an escalation in Afghanistan​.
  • Clinton's involvement in the 2009 military coup in Honduras. Rather than condemning the coup, Clinton pressured other countries to recognize the new right-wing government, leading to increased violence and instability in the country​​.
  • The firing of seven employees from the travel office during the Clinton administration in 1993, an act that some critics attribute to Hillary Clinton's influence. The fired employees were later reinstated due to public pressure​.
  • Controversies surrounding her commodity trades from 1978 and 1979, in which she turned an initial investment of $1,000 into nearly $100,000. No official investigations were carried out, but the incident raised eyebrows and led to criticism​​.
  • Involvement in her husband's controversial pardons during his presidency, including those for the owners of a carnival company convicted of bank fraud​.
  • A controversy regarding gifts taken from the White House upon the Clintons' departure in 2001. Some items, worth $28,000, were meant for the White House estate and not as personal gifts for the Clintons. These items were returned after complaints from the donors​.

Canonical has their own problems right now... Not a lot of snap fans out there. Canonical seems determined to skate to somewhere their users don't live and create a world they don't want.

Yep... and if you and I got discouraged, how many other developers did as well? This is why good docs are essential for a healthy ecosystem.

Smaller domains are blocked all the time, ask your local email admin.... just because you're not getting messages about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen

I should be free to experience as much atmospheric pressure as I want!!

This is so lazy. The burden of proof is upon the claimant. Feel free to toss out wild claims without providing anything to support what you are saying, but then don't be surprised when no one believes you.

I’m not a big fan of the Republican party but there are some issues they are championing at the moment like free speech

Free speech like this?

Red Hat died the day IBM bought them. All that garbage about "leaving Red Hat alone" was of course total nonsense. IBM is doing what it does best -- squeeze its existing customer base for short term gains. This won't be the last thing Red Hat does that makes people annoyed.

Totally, but at least Oracle doesn't pretend they are some kind of beacon of open source. Red Hat is trying to party like it's 1999 while it's just a boring division of IBM now.

I was curious to see if the reply was going to be:

  • We are happy with the state of docs (WONTFIX)

OR

  • The current situation is temporary and we will provide better docs at some point in the future

Your experience mirrors mine, where you must refer to the Rust and/or JS code to have a chance in hell.

I would say it goes further than different, I'd say better, as no one is "covering up" anything over here.

Because MONEY and lack of choice in some markets.... easy.

For me, it's this:

[Harris] fought for this law, which raised the financial penalty and made it a criminal misdemeanor for parents, up to a year in jail, when their children missed at least 10 percent of school time.

I'm curious why this is classified as "losing battle"... seems pretty successful so far to me.

Nothing a fork or two won't solve.

I am. It’s there in the GPL text in black and white. Red Hat does not have any right to place restrictions on the distribution of derivative works that they do not own the original copyright for. Threatening to terminate a service agreement is a restriction.

From what I understand, these restrictions only apply to if you have been provided the software. Red Hat is under no legal obligation to supply you with their software, nor to continue doing so if you violate their terms.

I agree this makes them total scumbags, but as far as I understand the GPL they are not breaking the law.

No, I was just chewing on various ideas to integrate with Lemmy and was disappointed with the docs I saw. They seemed OK-ish if you wanted to use the JS client, but not great if you want to do something else.

On similar projects, I'm used to seeing OpenAPI/Swagger/etc. where you have docs on the incoming bodies/fields, what values they can contain, etc.

Right now it's really bare bones. I see things like 'auth' OPTIONAL but not really sure what would go in there.

I can RTFS like another poster said, but of course that's not as convenient as "general purpose" API docs with examples / tutorial.

For better or for worse, news outlets care about engagement. "50th boat full of migrants lost this year" won't get many clicks. "Billionaires in trouble under the sea" will. If you think these type of stories are under-reported, feel free to start your own blog or discussion forum.

Spez personally will do just fine. He'll exit with a golden parachute.

The new model is "fuck you, pay me"

I don't like her because of situations like her truancy laws. If you think she's not liked just because of her race and/or gender, then you'll never understand why people don't agree with her.

and eventually it most likely would be by someone

Err, this has already happened quite a few times.

What if my ideas are so fragile that mere exposure to a contrasting opinion makes them crumble?

Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.

YES

get off my lawn

But if I block everyone I disagree with, I won't have to censor anyone!

Bahaha... "Anything I can't argue my way out of" = hate speech

proper nouns like sed, awk and grep?

Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
