They are having to take on the burden of gently letting down other devs who are angry over a simple misunderstanding.
I feel like, if anyone would be happily willing to do that in their free time, they would have been a Politician or an HR and not a Developer.
I'm pretty n00b as a dev, but if I were to see someone misinterpreting my explanation, the most I would do is rephrase the same in a more understandable manner.
Definitely not going to resort to using "people management tactics", specially not in an Open Source Free Work setting, where the expectation is that the other person wants the good of the project as much as I do ^[as compared to a corporate setting, where if they are getting money to sit and do nothing, they will prefer that].
Facts are more important than feelings, specially when written text is the medium, where the reader can, at any time, go back and re-read to make sure they are at the same page, which a responsible, non-sleepy, non-drunk person would do in such a case.
On this note, I went and re-read the above comment and I realise, the "But that’s the thing where you are wrong." sentence is kinda useless. If the previous commenter were to have read the rest, they would realise that's where they were wrong. Mental note to not use useless stuff like this as the first sentence in a reply, because I probably have the habit
Yes, I know I joined both circumstances, this comment thread and the condition of the Rust Linux dev. It seemed relevant to me.
I too, just disable the ambient sensor, but if I had to have one,
I'd rather have one that sends the sensor data to the PC, via an Open Protocol over DDC and let the KDE brightness setting handle the Brightness value decision (which would be easily configurable, of course).
What I find difficult to understand, is that they require said chap to be physically in the country.
Unless said law only works in case the company has a physical presence in the country (which it does, in this case), I feel it hard to get the logic to apply it to an internet service.
Also in Firefox, when using multi-window + multi-tab browsing, if you close a window without closing all of its tabs, you can press Ctrl+Shift+N in a remaining window (of the same Profile) to reopen closed window, which will now have all the tabs that you closed the window with. You can then again press Ctrl+Shift+T on the reopened window to restore its closed tabs.
It most probably can work directly with satellites, but I don't think some user is going to put the effort into setting up a direct system (∵ high cost), just to use the bloated site, X is (∵ low throughput internet).
your company must have a legal representative to be within our borders
Interesting. Yeah, I was too lazy to look it up and instead cracked a joke.
But, isn't that law kinda expensive? Or does it only apply in certain conditions (like company size or sth)?
And what's stopping Musk from just putting an underpaid intern for compliance?
I don’t get why people defend censorship by powerful/monopolistic companies
I won't get that either.
But unlike the Government, which is at least, supposed to care about us when making their policies,
the companies don't. Whatever gets them more money^[No idea about X though, it seems to love losing everything] is what wins.
Well, said companies will realise in time^[once the Federation evens (or at least smooths down a bit) the playing field] when it hurts them where they care about and will have to consider changing stances.
Welcome to modern society. Everybody loves to pretend.
The people pretending to be offended by some random mistaken word uttered by another.
Those pretending to care about something that they are using "politically correct" words for.
Microsoft pretending to care about OSS, in the hopes of getting some highly performant devs.
...
Yes, it's not a slur. But someone told another person to not call them a "cis woman" on camera and now it is whatever, you call it.
Well, they called it a slur. That's good enough a reason.
That's why I don't like the idea of censoring slurs. Anything can be one.
If some chap at X, determining which word is considered a slur, says, "I watched a YouTube video with
<public personality>
telling someone else not to call them 'cisgender'.", that's probably good enough to add it to the list, while most of them not actually matching the dictionary definition for "slur".
The point comes as to where to draw the line and the company gets to choose.
I have been meaning to put a service light^[to be turned on when I open the case and look at stuff inside] in my case. Just finding it a bit difficult to set it up in such way that it lights up the components properly, while not letting it directly flash my eyes.
I Motherboard RGB seems to be absolutely useless in that regard.
Gives me vibes of a second iteration of the OS writing boom. Though this time, the kernel mostly.
