  • What? At the time of this comment, one comment is a link to piped YouTube, one comment about the dispersible nature of Adobe products, and another about the difficulty of electronics repair... Where are these Apple cult members or are you really just hallucinating?

  • I'm not an expert or anything, but as it has been explained to me, the geo-political consequences of Ukraine having NATO weapons is enormous.. If Ukraine were to have access to F-18s, F-35s, or any NATO asset, it would implicate NATO, and further escalate the conflict towards a NATO-Russian war (World War 3), and the precipitation of nuclear assets. This is why even France's own Dassault assets and Sweden's Saabs were not offered. F-16s are old enough, and used enough by non-NATO forces that this might be okay.

    A prolonged war, while incredibly tragic, might still be less costly than World War 3...

  • As a manager who WFH, if managers are ineffective at their job, it's either that they suck, or their org structure causes them to suck.

    If upper management wants a manager to manage 30 people, of course they will suck.

    Keep the team to 8 max so the manager can actually do some hands on technical work as well.

  • As a manager, I can confirm that productivity drops in the office (even my own). I've got team members that choose to go to the office (moreso than me). I encourage them to work however they prefer, and want. You can work anywhere around the world however you wish, including at some nice beach, as long as it doesn't affect the project.

  • I think you replied to the right post (mine) but I didn't downvote you.

    Information disclosure doesn't necessarily imply it's intentional or unintentional, just that information was disclosed. But in a sense I do agree somewhat with that you said, only that WHO the person who developed the API receives that message from makes a huge difference. The IT security team coming to you and says "information disclosure" is scarier than a team mate

  • I'm not sure I agree.. Or more precisely, it depends. !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca is an example of a community where there is value in reposting content from Reddit over, where the value is getting the coverage of deals. On Reddit, a small majority of users actively seek and share deals. If those users don't move to Lemmy, that community is dead, period. No amount of enticement will introduce new content.

    The secondary value now is that, previously, many users had to go to Reddit for that content, because that content isn't available on Lemmy. Reposting isn't just to kick-start user engagement, but is also a retention tool. Users don't need to go to Reddit to fetch that info anymore. I know that was the case for me.

    I understand the consequence of Lemmy being a mirror of Reddit. And yes, over reposting is detrimental. This is where reposts need to be strategically applied where it makes sense.

    Ideally you don't want a blood transfusion. But in specific circumstances, a blood transfusion kick-starts the healing/growth process.

  • I've seen a number of communities that are otherwise dead without Reddit reposts, and being the most subscribed community for a given topic with the latest post being months ago is definitely not going to attract new users.

    It's either don't repost, and new users won't join because of dead community, or repost and have some activity, and maybe new users will join. With dead communities, new users won't magically join, and new content won't magically get created.

    One such example was the bcpcsalescanada community, which was revived due to reposts.
