- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 1 week ago:
Lemmy is developped by hardcore tankies and I don’t want to use their software
I think the main point about this is that, so far, the development has been completely politically neutral and developers have in no way interfered with any instance having other political opinions.
So they have been more neutral than Reddit developers even if they are public about their tankies ideas.
Furthermore, it’s open source, so it could be forked any time if needed, unlike Reddit. - Comment on UK to consider USB-C as charging standard • The Register 2 weeks ago:
Gosh, the money to join the USB-C standard should go into RHS instead!
- Comment on Why are peole hating on .world? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a battle of political ideologies.
ml is administered by the creators of Lemmy, they are openly socialist/communist/tankie depending on your own ideology, ml was chosen to represent Marxism-Leninism, and so the people it attracted are generally also adhering to this kind of ideologies.
.world was created for Redditors exile, as such, it is mostly center-left to social democrat.Political extremists tend to extremise everything, typically a tankie will call you a Nazi/fascist if you disagree with them. That’s one of your answer.
Secondly, some ml people are frustrated that Lemmy is not their own little thing anymore for them and their friends, as world is the biggest instance now by far. So they show some kind of instance-xenophobia, not much different from the Great Replacement theory: “we are being culturally replaced through mass migration”.
Not all .ml people are like that of course. In my experience, it is enough to block a few tankies to get back to civilized discussions.

I finished Outlast recently, and it made me think about The Groom who mutilates male patients’ sexual attributes to turn them into his ideal wife, but keeps failing and trying again.

I don’t think I understand your comment, who has to pay a penalty? Who’s stealing? You can’t do a same day resignation unless the companies agree. If they don’t agree, they can ask you to keep working for 3 months, and if you don’t come to work, they may declare you abandoned your job. Then, they don’t have to pay you, but you’re still officially an employee so you can’t legally start a new contract, they may also sue you for damage.

It could make you miss you a job opening that needs someone earlier. Hadn’t have the issue myself, but I guess it happens.

The British seem very happy with keeping the “-tre” ending but pronouncing it “-ter” for centuries.

To be fair this is a counterpart of being harder to get fired compared to some USA states. It makes the economy less fast to adjust but it makes people’s life less stressful.

Just a mistake I made.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 1 month ago:
Basic mental health config for a non tankist user of Lemmy is to block hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml instances first. Then, any user from there that you will see calling nazis anyone who don’t think like them.
I almost left Lemmy thinking it was a tankist shithole before understanding the pattern.
Then it gets back to the average former-Reddit tech activist, which is still pretty left. - Comment on Glowworm 1 month ago:

- Comment on How is Open Source developed paid? 1 month ago:
Some projects are spun out from major corporations.
This is most of the FOSS projects in data engineering and data science. They come from tech giants or some dudes who just left tech giants to create a FOSS tool with a paid managed version, and those may get bough back by other tech giants later.
Example:
Analytics and AI giant Databricks reportedly paid nearly $2 billion when it acquired Tabular in June, a startup that was only doing $1 million in annual recurring revenue, according to Bloomberg. That’s a pretty outrageous exit multiple, and it was purportedly fueled by a battle between Databricks and Snowflake.
Tabular had over $30 million in funding, backed by Altimeter Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Zetta Venture Partners, when it was acquired just three years after it was founded. Tabular’s valuation was tied to Apache Iceberg, a popular open source table format that the startup’s founders created while at Netflix. The startup quickly became an expensive pawn in the war between Databricks and Snowflake.https://techcrunch.com/…/databricks-rep…>
