Or we just realize that GitHub without logging in is a service we are getting for free. And when there's something free, there's someone trying to exploit it. Using GitHub while logged in is also free and has none of these limits, while allowing them to much easier block exploiters.

Yes. But not just in the "obvious" way.

I first started to contribute back when LLMs first appeared. Then SO allowed became LLM training grounds. Which made me stop contributing instantly.

I guess a not-insignificant amount of people stopped answering questions, which means less search results, which ends in less traffic.

I'm sure the fall wouldn't be as big as it is if they didn't allow LLMs to train on their data.

Firefox is not chromium based. You can install unlock origin and have no ads.

There's a reason just in time manufacturing took over the world. Storage is expensive.

You have to pay that mortgage, it doesn't matter if your house can cover it or not.

What are you gonna do? Sell your house to pay off your mortgage? And then where do you live?

If you own a single house, the synchronized raise/fall of house prices only affect the speed at which you can "upgrade" to a more expensive home. So prices going down benefit you.

Everyone needs one house. When you sell your house, you have to buy (or rent) another one. If the value of your house drops by the same amount as everyone else's, then you lost nothing.

In fact, you probably gained because if you plan to buy a more expensive house, you have to pay less.

The only people for whom the fall of housing prices would be negative are those that plan on having less houses. That is, you have multiple, and want to sell some.

The median citizen is no real state investor.

There is no chance you can make a consumer-facing product using imgui. The closest to that I've seen is imhex, which admittedly is way better looking than I thought was possible with imgui. But it is a tool for mainly developers, not a consumer-facing product.

Just make a file system that maps each file name to 2 files. The 0 file and the 1 file.

Now with just a filename and 1 bit, you can have any file! The file is just 1 bit. It's the filesystems that needs more than that.

The only thing I know about this pope is what I've gathered from Lemmy comments. According to those:

He's homophobic and anti-trumpism in the aspect of immigrants.

I think that's a pretty average catholic. Homophobia and helping the poor.

Neither progressive nor fascist.

It may be true that there's no better one. Which doesn't mean that it's good.

I have tried both clion and VSCode. I can't think of many more IDEs other than Visual Studio (which I haven't tried). I don't think there's many other options.

Clion is much faster than VSCode's C/C++ extension. For example go to definition is instant while VSCode can take 10+ seconds each time, and it doesn't cache results. However, that's the only good thing I can say about Clion.

At work I use VSCode. Why? Because it works. CLion worked for like 6 months, and then it just refused to lead the cmake project, becoming absolutely useless.

Not that it was much good to begin with, but enshittification is coming

Yes, .ml are tankies. They don't have power outside their instance though. You are from lemmy.world. which means .ml mods can only ban you from participating in .ml communities (subreddits). Thy can also ban you so other users of .ml can't see your content. But the rest of the instances will see it.

Blocking instances depends on what client you use. I use boost, and in boost you can block .ml communities from your feed. You can't block content from .ml users though. I believe other clients allow you to block the users too.

If you want a wage. You want a job. You don't give the product away for free.

If you give a product for free and the only revenue source being donations, you have to expect most people won't donate, which means you'll probably get a way-below-average wage.

It's fine that they ask for donations. And it's fine if people don't pay them.

If their goal was to have an actual wage, they should ask for a subscription in order to stay on the site. Or one-time payment. Or advertising.

If the project is FOSS, it's because their goal is not to have a good wage. Their goal is to have a job they enjoy and to have a product they want to have.

Because then you can't change your password. Since you would have to decrypt all the hard drives that use windows with that account, and then encrypt them again with the new one.

This also means that if you forget your password you are fucked.

• Office 365
• Google docs
• Libre office
• Confluence

All of those answer the questions. Sure, libre office for example relies on everyone knowing what MS office is, but it still does a good job of explaining.

Again, I don't know exactly what your product does, but my guess is that confluence is the one that's more similar.

Don't need to look at your competitors though. Go to any product with a multi-million marketing budget and you'll see how they answer the basic questions in a similar manner.

Edit:

Of course if you look at what their product page looked like before the AI bullshit ate the brains out of the tech CEOs, you would find better examples.

That's whataboutism.

There are many factors for the housing crisis.

That doesn't mean that you can only solve one of the factors.

RCV favours moderate candidates. If you are in a political extreme, you might argue that that's not fair. But I don't see how it not being perfect can result in a ban. Specially when the current system is more unfair.

There are many reasons you would be against china.

1. Not a democracy
2. Helping Russia in the invasion of Ukraine
3. Aims to invade Taiwan
4. You always want some amount of local manufacturing. Relying on a single supplier is never a good idea in any context if you can avoid it.
5. Helps north Korea
6. Claims international and other countries waters for itself
7. Uyghurs
8. Tibet
9. Many active border disputes due to territorial expansion aims.
10. Secret police stations to enforce it's laws outside china
11. Hong Kong

Low prices doesn't justify any of that.

And that (non-exclusive) list (except the 1st point) is only what affects people outside of china. There's many other reasons to dislike the CCP that only affects the Chinese. Like mass surveillance and censorship.

I would still be programming. Just that it would be the projects I want to do, instead of the ones my employer wants to do.

I read the entire frontpage and I don't know the answer to these questions:

1. What problem is this product trying to solve?
2. How does this product solve the problem?
3. What makes this product better than the alternatives?

I would not use this product, because of marketing reasons. I believe (I don't remember if it's mentioned in the frontpage) that it is free, however, I haven't tried using it because I don't have an answer to those questions. I'm not a marketing person, but the front page is pretty important. Specially the start of it.

Also, I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but I believe that the front page is broken. I'm on Android using Firefox mobile on a 2400x1080 screen.

I hope that this helps.
