Exactly, when I"m told to double up as a database engineer I always die inside a little bit. If this were any other profession there would be a specialized guy in every company doing that sort of thing.

How many engineers feel restricted by management? Putting them in smaller and more flexible companies can help them shine and finally put their experience to full use

Hopefully their skills get redistributed to the wider market so more companies can ship decent products and innovate instead of only a few ones holding the brainpower hostage

"Remote running" is not a thing. It's my server, you are not running anything except the client application. Every single bit of code is running on my computer and you are not entitled to know more other than the API you ar

The GPL tells me I have the freedom to run your code however I please, and I should release my modifications only if they run on someone else's computer and they request the source code. Since the code only runs on my server then no us

Do you have a right over someone else's computer? Maybe we are talking about government servers and you could argue they are public property so AGPL could be needed, but private companies?

by AstixAndBelix 4y ago
The AGPL is a stupid licence. If you use anything over a network you are using someone else's computer. Of course the code that runs on your end should be open source, but having the server's source code is useless since you c

Doesn't Mozilla have their own speech recognition library? I think it would have been more interesting to see the results, since we're talking about FOSDEM. Also, since OpenAI was already used, it could have been cool to provide a

What he linked is not relevant to what I said, plus I used a probabilistic and not deterministic argument. You could deduce where people came from by how they looked because the world was much more inbred and isolated in the past. As such y

My mother's iPhone 6 is running iOS 15, which will be supported by all the apps she uses for at least 2-3 more years, bringing the total lifetime of her smartphone close to 10 years. Sure, Apple is pretty draconian when it comes to how

Saying that you "still rock" something barely 3 years old sounds.... strange. I still rock my 1983 Toyota, sure. I still rock my 20yo HiFi system. But I don't "still rock" my iPhone 11, it was only recently out of p

Can someone tell me about what actually happened? Do they really need that much infra to simply allow people to meet in person and exchange money?

Why Google? I explicitely said you could embed any ad provider ( or even use your own personal method for distributing ads). Maybe you don't like that, but that's what software freedom looks like

The point of what? The point of PeerTube is to leverage the p2p nature of torrents to allow people to host video-sharing platforms for a fraction of the cost. If you want to monetize your instance then why not?

Finally Twitter is going in the right direction. Less spam, less fakes and monetizing from people who earn from your platform.

The thing is, if you feel you're being paid too little for your work there are basically 3 reasons: 1 - you are wrong because you're not that good 2 - you are right, but the overhead necessary for the company to survive does not a

That's like asking how Signal plans on getting nice people to talk to. Peertube is just a self-hosted platform that allows for bandwidth-efficient video sharing, it's up to the single instance owners to care about publicizing thei

This guy has implemented a mind-boggling amount of features in these years basically all alone and funded with a modest tech salary. Just goes to show how much potential small teams or even individuals have that gets wasted in big corpos.
