I didn’t even realise until the other day you need an account to use it now at all it seems.
So no surprise. In the past, I recall you could browse without a login… so of course nobody is going to put ads on it
Also, why would you want those customers?
Ahh yes. I switched companies because some new sales guy I discovered was getting paid more than me after I was there 9 years.
You can’t use a lot of apps without it
So sure you can, but it isn’t an awesome experience
I looked something up today.
Do plumbers fit shower screens? Plumbers do not usually fit frameless shower screens. Most of the time, they break the glass panels and hurt themselves. Others do not try going through the installation hassle.
The whole thing is embarrassing. The only way it could be worse could be if they harvested 4chan
Actually… Just noticed one talking shit about EV’s who works for Land rover.
But yeah, I’ve realised the same people talking shit about EV’s, tend to be the same people causing issues for everyone… They always have a locked profile (because they troll that much), they’re often anti-vax/anti-science and they’re the kind of toxic a-holes who were buttheads in high school, and continue to be.
I guarantee they also stocked meat and toilet paper during the pandemic, and tend to leave trash when 4wd’ing
Here in Australia I busted someone with a locked Facebook profile who apparently worked at a ford reseller lying about Kias EV9.
He did the whole laugh emoji and called me a stalker, but deleted his message a few minutes later (probably got a call from his employer who I tagged who was probably worried about the legal repercussions). I pointed out it was libel to lie like that
Use a shelly device, preferably Shelly plus or a gen3
They’re designed for retrofit and have a huge amount of support
Really happy I’m kicking out my housemate.
He’s not anti-vax, but he only got the COVID Vax because without it, he couldn’t do stuff.
But then the guy kept going to concerts and such…And wouldn’t even tell me when he was sick (and still doesn’t, even when I complain). Since I run a hiking group (and we do a lot of alpine winter walks), its absolutely f**ked because if I get sick overnight on the top of mountains like bogong, i may have difficulty carrying a 20kg pack in freezing cold bad conditions
I also don’t believe he actually does RAT tests when I asked and he was clearly sick. When he got a notification at a concert that he needed to test for COVID in early days, he didn’t…
Once did a walk when I recovered from COVID, and turned out I had the flu (thanks to him). Despite being flat ground, by the end, I was struggling to go 500m without stopping for a few minutes
With something like this, once he got the vax, it would literally be a case of “f*** everyone else”.
There’s a reason GitHub is the largest service lol
You need to sell services based on their advantages rather than the politics. The reality is, github allows projects to be very easily migrated to other services anyway.
Using something because it’s open source isn’t helpful at all if it doesn’t work with your workflow easily
Productivity is more important to the success of open source than anything else.
I know this, because a project of mine died because we wasted too much time on infrastructure
Developers don’t need access to the GitHub source to do their job, and there is no advantage to anyone.
In fact, if they distribute the code, it simply reduces the incentive for Microsoft to improve it, and the only ones who will step are, are shit companies like Oracle
There is a massive GitHub API which you probably already aren’t using. And now you want them to release the source code which you also won’t look at?
If they open source the code, what contributions would you make? How many contributions have you made to the Lemmy code? How many with vs code?
How would it benefit open source projects given that GitHub hosting is free for open source? How would it benefit GitHub?
Would you host your own GitHub repo when you can host it for free (which it will be for open source) on GitHub or other services anyway
Some projects don’t really benefit from open source.
If it’s a big thing, host your own using an open source project. Compete against GitHub.
But calling me a shill isn’t really an effective argument. I have contributed to a few open source projects in the past and released some of my own.
I don’t feel like forcing companies to open source their projects is the way. Open source needs to win on it’s own merits. And plenty of open source projects have (the Linux kernel as an example).
Have you contributed anything to githubs competitors? That might be a place to start. Because at the moment, there aren’t any issues with GitHub that open sourcing would address. Microsoft don’t need the additional resources
So tired of seeing these posts.
Nobody worth listening to is complaining about creating an account on GitHub. Ubuntu brainstorm was a huge success and you had to create an account for that too
It literally takes 30s.
And github has a hugely comprehensive API that allows developers to easily move if that want to.
If Microsoft Open sourced the backend, the reality is, nobody would look at the code, and everyone would still use GitHub because it’s reliable. Vs code is open source, and I’m willing to bet community contributions are limited
And open sourcing the backend just means Oracle will take the code, and set up their own server for marginally cheaper and make GitHub worse… That’s what they did with red hat
They’re probably not paying much for the oil though.
And it is likely an act of desperation
This is definitely a paid advert
I hope they enjoy paying interest on their taxes and fines
In general, just a stupid idea. It won’t deprive the government of any money, because you can’t just tag a random condition to your tax repayments.
This isn’t even a case of it’s never been done before. Lots of people have used every excuse to try not to pay tax.
You’re better off trying to sue the government.
On Friday, wrote some new helper code for the templates we use for development because I did a search of the code and couldn’t any such code there. Wasted 20mins writing it
An hour later, found I wrote the functions but had simply put them in a different spot :/
Not sure how it is in US, but here in Australia, vaccination is required for school now (No Jab, no Play).
Maybe you guys need that.
I can’t speak for that.
But sure…
Joe Biden? When his son was found guilty, he let justice take course.
It would be good to see Michelle Obama stand though instead of him, but, Trump is VERY dangerous. He was willing to start a civil war to get back power, and the only reason he hasn’t gotten into any wars, is because he is likely giving other dictators everything they want (including top secret information)
The only reason we know 100% that he is giving away top secret information, is because of audio recordings, and a billionaire in Australia said directly that was the case.
Joe Biden has done none of that stuff. The judge didn’t need to warn jurors on his son’s trial that they could be targeted if they diclosed they were on it
It matters hugely even internationally. If you’re female it would I’m guessing based on the fact that want to ban abortions. As a guy, I wouldn’t want to be forced to be stuck with a kid.
Are you not paying attention? I’m Australian, and the difference is totally night and day.
I don’t think you realise how easy migration from Github is lol… Ask the Jira guys if you want an example of moving ISSUES. And Github easily has the most comprehensive API out of any service which makes migration VERY easy.
I know you think you’re helping Open source, but you’re doing the opposite here.
Just so you know, one of my projects was actually mentioned in LinuxWorld Magazine 20 years ago and mentioned at the front of Slashdot, and I’ve used everything from self-hosted, Gitlab to Github over the years (CVS, SVN, Mercurial, tried the Ubuntu one but forget the name and Git now).
I think you’ve forgotten what open source is actually about… It’s about developing code, not managing infrastructure… And you’re conveniently glossing over how easy it is to migrate data from Github (its definitely not trapped there).
Instead of screaming “Microsoft Sucks” and nitpicking, you should be asking developers why they aren’t moving. That’s what helps open source developers
And nobody noticed…
Maybe calling a hero cave diver a pedo wasn’t a great idea, Elon
