¥1590/month.
Rough $11/month in freedom dollars. That’s not bad!
Still pricey for a solo use. What is your use cases? Lurking or a frequent poster?
Good. At a company, you get your ass fired if they catch you using non-approved equipment on company infrastructure. It can lead to leaks and infiltration, and lost of revenue.
In the military, that’s people’s lives!
Every time I see this implemented, it always seems like screwing over the end user who is trying to join for the first time. Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.
Imagine how challenging it is for someone joining Lemmy for the first time and suddenly having to provide trust elements like answering a few questions, or getting someone to vouch for them.
They’ll run away and call Lemmy a walled garden.
It’s reporting activity, not banning people (or bots)
I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.
Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.
Saved games can go:
Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?
Y’all remember Pidgin?
That proggie was the bomb for all your AOL, ICQ, MSN, etc so you can keep up with your homies while you update your live journal.
So… everyone instead just went to Bluesky and Threads where sign-up links were provided rather than directory links and manifestos.
Wild! This was my exact thought as I was signing up for Mastadon. I spent like 15 minutes figuring out what Mastadon is, what server to join, what each server means. Then I did the thing like I did with Lemmy and created half a dozen accounts waiting to see which server gave me my “Account Created” email first.
Doing minor “crime” in school was how I became a programmer!
Android ecosystem is not so much better.
I’ve been a supporter of web apps. Unfortunately it cuts into app store profits so it’s often shit on.
Sorry those people sound like morons.
Work pays for everything for me. I work at a major tech company with thousands of employees nationwide.
I’m given a top of the line laptop. Im given a credit to buy anything I need to improve my home office. Their tech and purchases are theirs and when I leave, it gets shipped back.
Using personal equipment at your workplace? Triple yikes. If your company does something illegal, your personal equipment gets confiscated by police. If your company’s network gets infected, your personal info like banking/CC gets stolen too.
Yeah I can see it being pretty aggressive. It’s like being punished for something a neighbor did. It would not make them feel good and even push them to give the double middle fingers akimbo to Brazil.
Losing their jobs? Uh what?
WordPress core is pretty wild. But modern WordPress isn’t working purely in that. The latest WP uses PHP primarily as a backend, and modern JS as a frontend and passing data through filters->DB.
I won’t call it elegant. But it’s not the PHP experience from five years ago.
I see this all the time. People complain about WP but think the alternatives are better, when they’re just trading problems for others.
WP core is stable AF. I’ve shared in many prior comments how I spend so many more dev hours fixing other CMSes over WP.
And if you don’t even need a CMS, fuck it all and switch to static hosting and markdown.
It makes sense.
Supporting Tumblr backend with patches vs building on top of stable WP and improving it seems like a win win.
How so?
This is a very rude question, but on this subject of being lean, I looked up your 990, and you pay yourself less than … well, you pay yourself half or a third as much as some of your engineers.
Yes, and our goal is to pay people as close to Silicon Valley’s salaries as possible, so we can recruit very senior people, knowing that we don’t have equity to offer them. We pay engineers very well. [Leans in performatively toward the phone recording the interview.] If anyone’s looking for a job, we pay very, very well.
But you pay yourself pretty modestly in the scheme of things.
I make a very good salary that I’m very happy with.
That’s pretty cool. But knowing the number would matter.
Ew. They should expand their skill set to using terminal/powershell.
I’m not knocking on GUIs but I will call out “IT professionals” who ONLY know how to use GUIs.
That was what I thought five years ago. I was on the verge of removing it, and the android Facebook app killed my phone’s battery, so delete it went.
And suddenly all my family drama stopped and if someone needs to get in touch with me, how surprising that they still found a way.
