  • It makes sense from a pure UX perspective. But of course the real goal of GitHub is to make money, and their paying customers are mostly corporate entities using it for enterprise development. Unless those companies decide that a download button/better release feature is desirable, it's not likely to happen.

    Most corporations tie GitHub into their own build system so such a feature isn't likely to be considered useful. They pay for GitHub to reduce development costs, which is why GitHub spends so much effort on analytics and the dev experience instead of open source/public users.

  • You could have both, I just found Kodi to be a pain to use and set up. But one advantage of Kodi is that I believe it already supports streams like that. With Jellyfin you might have to do some magic. Kodi is more feature rich than jellyfin in general so if you can get it to work well, you could just have Kodi instead of both.

    But I'm not sure on this topic. It's probably best to consult the docs for both.

  • The jellyfin apps have a way better UX than Kodi. Jellyfin gives you only what you need in a clean, familiar design that feels like a real streaming service. Kodi is massively overbloated garbage with a confusing and extremely cluttered UI. Typical programmer-designed interface.

    I hate Kodi and avoid it always, which thankfully is very easy thanks to jellyfin

  • Yes they did make the assumption that it would be permanent, they've literally admitted as much. In many cases they didn't even need the extra staff to begin with. They did it because that's what dipshit investors expected them to do.

  • This asshole is such a sociopath. He just did an all hands last year where he straight up told his employees that some of them don't belong there, and then they did the layoffs. He doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself.

  • Yeah my company uses them for integrating some of our apps together. They aren't used for tracking at all, and we'd be up shits creek if they were, because our (corporate) customers audit that sort of thing.

    Because of Google we've had to create an alternative solution which has taken years to develop and is only getting deployed now. Those fuckers have way too much power over the Internet.

  • The fact that you think I have to "like" Palestine in order to not support oppressing and genociding them says everything.

    I feel the same way about them as I do about other targeted minorities like Armenians, Rohingya, Uighurs etc. No one deserves to be treated like they're subhuman no matter how much I dislike certain aspects of their culture. And every culture has its good and bad aspects.

  • Americans talk big about standing up to corporations but don't actually do it. We don't join unions and we vote for corporate-approved "moderate” candidates in primaries, who then veto any attempt at making life even slightly better for workers.

    Just look at what happened in ny recently. We couldn't even get a very basic protection against non-competes without some "moderate" shill vetoing it because it cuts into some slug's profits. And that shill is a Democrat btw.

    Americans are cowed. People joke about guillotines but Americans can't even vote for pro-labor candidates without acting like it's communism. There won't be any violent resolution here, there aren't even labor protests .

  • Are you actually in the market right now or just making stuff up? You use a lot of qualifying language in this post that makes it sound like you're just reassuring yourself. It comes off as condescension.

    There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed devs right now, plus all the scrub gold chasers trying to break into the industry. And not everyone has connections that can get them a job. Networking is still a numbers game, it isn't magic.

  • Most of these execs actually believed that covid demand would become permanent. What they did was incredibly stupid and irresponsible, and now workers are paying for it

    Most of these people are total followers. They just do whatever Google does because thats what dipshit investors want. There was no reason for my company to overhire to the degree it did, we were already able to meet demand.. hiring people doesn't magically increase your capacity to service more users. So fucking stupid. If I can help it I'll never work for an idiotic public company again.

  • You don't know what you're talking about. I personally know multiple devs who were laid off from my company. These companies don't give a shit about your skills anymore, they're purely looking at how much money you cost them.

  • I don't think the money is magically just going to come back this time. I doubt that interest rates will ever drop to the levels they were at before the pandemic.

    I fully expect this lull to last at least a few more years, and I doubt the industry will ever recover to pre-pandemic levels. History rhymes, it doesn't repeat, and two very different situations from the past are not necessarily indicative of the future. Plus even if it does recover, you still have to get noticed with 1000 scrubs applying to every job they see. Or pray that your network lands you something, if you're lucky.

  • Nope, first sentence is such a blatant fucking copout. No one outside of Israel restricts genocide to a "decreasing population". It's the intent to destroy and steal land that matters

    Zero acknowledgement of Israel's decade long blockade of Gaza, it's always someone else's fault
