Yes, 100%. That’s what I meant by “safer” but thanks for expanding :)

These are great features, thanks for all the work and congratulations on the release.

I will say though - in general, it would probably be easier and safer to do more incremental releases. It has been a long time since 0.18.5.

Have you considered adopting a release train model, similar to what Rust does? The Bevy game engine project has adopted such a model as well and it has worked well as far as I gather. The idea is basically to release on a fixed time interval, forever. No more surprises about when things release and there’s a convenient regular opportunity to encourage people to donate :)

But wasn’t it cancelled? I’m not sure I want to watch something if the ending is missing.

Actually curious how though - I mean won’t it just let all programs/users access everything? Or do some system stuff rely on permissions for certain behavior?

I used to, yes. I don’t see how that detracts from my point.

I think it’s just a “branding” difference. I was at a company once that changed everyone’s titles from developer to engineer. It was mostly done cause engineer was more hip.

I think developer was more used a decade ago. I would not be surprised if it cycles back at some point. It’s just like clothes fashion or whatever.

Pointing fingers now after the fact is not productive. We need to educate people and lead them to alternatives like Firefox. Blaming people is not going to do that.

As someone who’s quite vocal about my support for Rust, I can definitely see how it can go overboard.

But on the other end of the spectrum, saying that all languages are just as good or capable and it doesn’t matter which one you use is definitely wrong. There are meaningful differences. It all comes down to what your needs are (and what you/your team knows already, unless you’re willing to learn new stuff).

If an OS requires ANY AMOUNT of command line, you have lost about half the population.

Half? It’s way more than half.

You’re on an instance that uses very few blocked instances. Perhaps you should sign up on an instance that blocks tankies instead? Remember that the instances that your instance is federated with also determines your feed since their votes are counted as well.

I don’t think we do no. Reddit (users) has long been known for its “know-it-all” elitist attitude. I dunno if that is a natural consequence of the voting system but we shouldn’t try to replicate it.

Which is really bad value

What is a good value alternative? With the accessibility and usability of Google Drive, it feels like quite good value to me. But maybe I don’t know of the possible alternatives.

Retry with exponential back off would not produce a large number of requests.

unequal society

The US is much more unequal than most other developed countries though, hence why it happens much more in the US than in other places.

From what I’ve heard, this is mostly a US phenomenon.

Why not? As I just said you can long press on phone to show the timestamp.

FYI if you’re using the standard lemmy UI, you can hover over (or long press on phone) the “15 hours ago” to get the precise timestamp.

I think there are definitely those that dispute that. There are also plenty of regular middle class people who would readily defend the absurd salaries of top earning CEOs with arguments like “but if he creates 100 million dollars of value, shouldn’t he get that payment?”.

That’s the neat part, we can’t. Tax the rich or even better, create a system/culture that doesn’t deify billionaires and glorify the idea of amassing wealth beyond a reasonable point.

(as an aside, is lower birthrates really that bad? On a country-level yes perhaps but on a global scale we really need fewer humans)
