Huge agreement here.
We can't all play bongos and make no money all day. Some of these people do this for a living and if they make a good product and consumers are fine buying it, fuck it let them be happy.
I'm assuming that's what's going on here.
I actually spent some time thinking about how I wanted to describe this and arrived at "men I know" because that left it as broad as coworkers, friends of family or people I do not spend gracious amounts of time with. Reddit is on the door to your left. Have a free block.
If democratic voters flooded the White House like that, the republicans and MAGAs would be sitting in the exact same position demanding the same thing if not more.
I agree with you.
When I hear Libertarian I immediately think of liberals. Which is funny because I'm old enough to remember when the republicans would call people who liked freedom, smoking weed and voting for Bernie a liberal as an insult. You hear "libtard" a whole lot less nowadays because there really wouldn't be much room to distinguish between the two.
Does your local small to medium instance user have enough money to not get hamstrung by a big film industry's legal team?
Edit... not that I agree with the result but I think the question I am answering with rhetorically answers the original question, unfortunately.
Edit 2: If all this crypto stuff worked as well as it was described, it would be cool if there was a DAO or basically a mutually voted funds account that could store and send crypto funds to a lemmy instance owner to fund lawyers, should a legal case against a major lemmy instance come under legal fire.
Being a US citizen, it is interesting to observe my social circles reactions to both President Biden and President Trump.
Most of the men I know trend towards being pro Trump and I don't think this will sit well with them. The reason being that I think it is less about what Trump actually does to them, but rather what he represents. Last I checked via wikipedia, Trump has anti trans campaign points for 2024.The trend I notice is that men I knew who grew up going to church feel displaced by their traditional view being eroded by things like LGBT, gender identity questions, and changing of the times in general. While the women I know who even often date these men the opposite; they feel more comfortable being accepting of everyone by default.
Should Trump be convicted, I think it will alienate a group of voters into full disbelief of the existing system. The question is does that matter at all in the grand scheme of things or should these voters feel slighted - will that matter since they have no real recourse or will they simply forget Trump given time.
In preparation for comments on this - please don't try to assign me politically. I'm simply remarking on what I've observed as a citizen when speaking with other adults in my life.
Thanks for weighing in. Yeah! This is basically what I am thinking I'll have to do. I just tried Github actions and runners with a very small internal app and I liked it. I've never worked closely in AWS but I've gotten trained in/used Azure a few times and it's basically the same thing on my end.
Robust tests, larger conditional workflows in github actions, and some sort of staggered rollout I think are the conclusion I'm arriving at.
Godspeed. I hope the transition goes well. If you need to baby step towards it, I felt like docker swarm was easier to approach but kubernetes is far more standard. I recommend budgeting training into the rollout if your shop can afford it. For CI/CD I recently had a great experience with github and github actions but I had a coworker setup on-premise gitlab in the past too.
Somewhat of a tangent - My experience with alembic of over four years is that it is leagues better than manual SQL dealings, and also very easy to understand what you're looking at. But I have to say that when I used sequelize in NodeJS, it has an autosync and autoupgrade schema that made alembic look silly.
In regards to my own post I think for now what I'm mostly seeing is that for each new deployment - is going to have to have an internal smoke test, then staggered rollout of updates.
Reading what you wrote here - I think this is confirming my looming suspicion. Which is that there is no standard today for upgrading docker containers. Since upgrades happen app to app. For example if I have a docker-compose deployment and service A is lemmy, and service B is postgres the app in this case service A will have to have its own logic for handling upgrades or code migrations.
In other words, the upgrade process can depend on how the software developer writes the software; independent of docker/k8s/vm's or whatever deployment strategy you are running.
I think what I was hoping for was that I'd ask if there was a newer smooth standardized way to do software upgrades besides A/B testing or staggered rollouts but I'm not really seeing that.
I talked to a kitchen outlet staff member and asked about the Smeg brand, because I liked it's style but thought it expensive. She said that they tend not to be good at all and I should avoid the brand. That there was both cheaper and more reliable alternatives or pricier higher end goods.
I actually posted an article about their opening of a data center being detrimental to another countries water supply. Link should be in my profiles recent posts, worth a read.
I think there is a fair lot of people who think it's absurd to pay for what they consume. And if you asked them what the alternative is to them paying they'd say nothing, it should be free.
Each service they run is binned and probably billed and generates revenue separate ways, but enough of that Im not trying to argue for pro google. The DRM they're trying to push is bullshit.
Yeah. I got tired of posting and a message saying "you cant post that for sake of our community" across almost every single subreddit. If I see that shit on lemmy I'll make sure to block the entire server that has lemmys doing that.
Its one thing to can some bots. Its another to have game devs as subreddit mods block negative sentiment for example, or an overzealous mod push their views and just delete comments.
Its not like I'm out there posting some insane content, either. I tried posting a 15 second video of a funny bug of a dude stuck spinning around to crab rave and I couldn't even post that to the diablo 4 games subreddit.
I'm going to guess half of the proposal is to waste time and distract from the minimum requirement they're hoping to actually pass. We saw this a lot in general politics in the US: you make a bold overshooting statement while passing legislature on the side.
Don't mistake me for excusing their behavior. It's the contrary. But I do think a grounded conversation starts with understanding what people's motivations are.
I think we need to start being very realistic here.
Google has ad buying customers who want their ads served, and it's those customers that would probably opt into the SDK and API in the first place. Scope matters.
Next there's a plethora of freeloaders on the Internet who consume mountains of content but who scoff at paying for or contributing to the Internet.
Lastly I'm not seeing anything here that says it will block a site like Lemmy for example.the one thing I do find problematic is this potentially limiting competing browsers
I don't think GitHub is social enough or the right tool to address bugs, talk about issues, or completely missing - ask for expertise. It's not even democratic enough and done in such a way that makes what to work on clear at times.
Some code is still more art than work or science but still there is a notion that maybe if there was a better tool than GitHub there would be no need for a discord.
I've been privileged enough to live in mostly good neighborhoods throughout my life and especially in smaller towns those police do good, often difficult work. Bringing home some town drunk who's acting difficult with access to a gun for example without it becoming an escalated scene IMO is a feat I could not do.
I just wish that in the more dangerous areas and areas where we are having trouble with police brutality for example, we could have offers to police with good standing to be relocated and compensated to help move out the bad police.
So for example if we're having issues with police brutality in Portland OR, fire those police, then pay to relocate police with high standing clean records from diverse areas to move to these areas.
The things I see in California sometimes I'm not sure that there's an amount of money you could pay me to deal with half these things.
