It's just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

It's funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They're past their series F - they've got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it's been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

Clearly you didn't read my other replies in this thread where I expressed concern for the innocent people stuck between two warring regimes. Nowhere do I support the status quo, the atrocities being committed by Israel especially in the west bank / Gaza, nor do I ignore the open air prison that Palestinians have been forced into since the 1940s - but feel free to continue putting words in my mouth

Ahh yes, let me pick one genocidal piece of shit to support so as to ensure I am not viewed as smug

Which I get - I'm starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

Hmmm, we have a company who's success has been largely due to it's large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community.... Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who's success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

Wow, speed running to otherization and dehumanization of those you don't like. Fucking tankies being nazis as per usual. It's like horseshoe theory in real time and shows you care more about ideological motivations than the despicable acts being committed so long as they align with you politically (which is funny because both sides here are authoritarian, theocratic regimes)

Can you give some more background?

Kernel version, laptop model, logs?

This is 100% about the disease that is religion. And by your argument, Native Americans have no claims to land because they have been pushed off their ancestral land and have been gone for a long time - or have they not hit the imaginary line in the sand where it's been long enough that they have "forfeited" their claim?

That too is a bit of revisionist history and if you extend the timeline back a bit you'll see both parties have semi-legitimate claims to the area (hell, Israelis have been there for a thousand years before Palestine ever existed and before Islam came into existence around ~600ad) and both are religious nuts hellbent on destroying one another. I just feel bad for the innocent civilians stuck between two genocidal, warring factions of religious fanatics. Anyone who tries to claim one side here is more legitimate than the other or is more depraved than the other is just ignoring reality. Obviously Palestine is the "underdog" here but it doesn't mean they aren't committing war crimes en masse

Both sides are genocidal, war crime committing, religious zealots it's just that Israel has the upper-hand due to support from western nations (largely due to Christian zionists in those western countries) while Palestine is largely supported and funded by Islamic zionists from middle eastern countries.

Yeah, it started when Russia invaded in 2014

Half and half. It was a college football team so half we're still in their teens, the others in their early 20s

Curious how it is now as I used to be a Usenet person back when fserves and bots on IRC channels were some of the best ways to request and get nzbs to throw into your Usenet client. I've been a torrent user on private trackers for the last 15 years and while I have everything automated, I still run into quality issues or rogue releases with inaccurate language info / subtitles / etc

APC is nice in an enterprise-like setup and the management software is really mature. That said, you don't get much for your money and for a homelab, I've been happy with my Tripplite UPS which was about half the cost. I got the expansion battery as well and the whole setup cost me less than $700

Somewhere Bill Gates is a happy man watching Elon repeat his past mistakes with Teledesic

You seem to be ignoring where profits are going - shareholders have, for decades, taken far more than their fair share of things and wages absolutely can go up without driving companies out of business it's just that one group has to take less and that's the shareholders. Employers will continue to do anything in their power to keep shareholders happy over employees and that absolutely includes bringing in cheaper, migrant labor. It's not a labor shortage, it's a wage shortage and investing in productivity doesn't reduce jobs, it creates new ones - often that require a different skill set than the one it replaced and that's one reason we are failing, we aren't helping people acquire new skills en mass

I wouldn't hold my breath - Boulder is big on telegraphing very liberal policies but they always fall apart due to NIMBYs. Home prices in Boulder aren't even driven by corporate RE investment, it's just expensive as fuck in general with a ton of tech companies having campuses there, the university, and well-to-do people from the Bay Area that have been flowing there for decades

To each their own, I really don't like Miro as is just graphical, no way to export my data in a machine readable format. In LucidChart I could create an ERD diagram or BPMN chart and get it in say XML in a format that I could actually script on top of to help with development. As for direct Figma competitors, I've really enjoyed self-hosting PenPot
