  • I think they are doing this above board, so it's just "contracts". It's not illegal, just shortsighted. Just like lobbying isn't technically bribery because it's "official bribery" so it's got a different name.

  • I also think it's probably a good idea to try out the new career path. Doing software dev as a job, and doing it as a hobby because you like to, are very different when it comes to motivations and goals. Don't think of it as walking away and just being a lowly hobby dev though, you can build your skills and work on what you want to as a hobby, for the problems you are trying to solve and things you like to work on, and that's totally ok.

    Not everyone wants to put in the effort to play guitar for a living, but you can definitely still enjoy guitar.

  • That, and when switching from reddit to Lemmy I realized how toxic the relationship there was, and I just use all social media way less now.

  • They could have just starved and worked him to death, who knows

  • I could think of a few dozen on the top of my head, but I imagine it's one of those things that as the collective "me"s got used to it, we could probably all use an extra hand and it would quickly get into the hundreds

  • A lot. It would be quite a few just to fully get into the hobbies I have, and quite a lot more to pursue all the things I'd like to learn.

  • I ran /r/cryptotechnology for years, and am good friends with the /r/cc mods. Reddit is a mess though, especially in the crypto areas.

  • Fair point, I agree with this. There should probably be another icon in the browser that shows if all, some, or none of the media on a page has signatures that can be validated. Though that gets messy as well, because what is "media"? Things can be displayed in a web canvas or SVG that appears to be a regular image, when in reality it's rendered on the fly.

    Security and cryptography UX is hard. Good point, thanks for bringing that up! Btw, this is kind of my field.

  • The best way this could be handled is a green check mark near the video that you could click on it and it would give you all the meta data of the video (location, time, source, etc) with a digital signature (what would look like a random string of text) that you could click on and your browser would show you the chain of trust, where the signature came from, that it's valid, probably the manufacturer of the equipment it was recorded on, etc.

  • Paintless?

  • Billboards should be banned for being a distraction and taking up mind space

  • Lol our dogs are in a similar situation. One dog had a tooth pulled and gets to eat wet food, and the other dog inhales her food and then looks at us like "wtf is this".

  • The real gun nuts invest heavily in ammo manufacturing and reloading. And not all states will comply.

  • Linux and bit heads, Lemmy is definitely my place lol

  • Cabinetry screws also

  • Cool, ok, good to hear. Lol sorry, I appreciate dark humor, but have also watched a lot of alcoholics fuck their life up and cause a lot of family problems.

  • If you have chronic trouble breathing through your nose, go see an ENT. That surgery changed my life.
