Its always amazing to me how, even on a site inhabited almost exclusively by people that make a living writing software, people get so offended by the idea of paying for software. As long as software does not have lock-in and is offered fo

OK but... How will I get money to live and feed my kids and stuff? Will the rich decide they finally have enough this time? Why would they?

In my experience Mautrix has been very easy to run and can bridge new channels automatically as they're created. I use Matrix exclusively to chat with my friends on Discord. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ap

> I don’t draw a salary, so the total amount I earned from TinyPilot in 2023 was $236k. People often wonder how I survived on the meager earnings of my first five bootstrapper years. TIL a $230k income is meager. Jokes aside, what am I

Are you arguing that this kind of advertising is a good or neutral thingm. Or that life just kind of sucks and we need to get used to it? I'd rather push for better software and advertising practices, personally...

I use ORMs all day every day on very large projects. Its painful sometimes and some are less painful than others. When I've tried for using raw SQL even for personal projects, it was much more painful. Right tool for the job etc.

I ended up purchasing a Bangle.js 2. Its definitely not in the same class as any of the premium watches but its very inexpensive, open - source and hackable. To be fair, my list of necessary features was very short: - display the time - di

Concerns about company bankruptcy aside my thing is this: I don't want to have an ongoing relationship with a company. My entire adult life I've watched company after company succumb to enshittification. I have no choice but to

My guess is that they'll introduce tiers where your current price gets much less access. Presumably this will be done when customers have no where else to go for the titles that they want. Customers will get angry, many tweets will b

Why would a profit seeking engine not automate this? When was the last time any company at thr FAANG level did something "nice" just to be nice? There's always a hockey stick graph somewhere.

This comment inspired me, then made me laugh, then made me very, very sad about the trajectory of human civilization.

This is a totally aside but as someone attempting to learn Spanish as an adult I was curious about the translation from "castellano" to "spanish" (rather than using "espanol"). I had assumed that it referred t

This looks exactly what I started building awhile ago (and then bailed when I discovered Foundry). Do you think you'll ever release the code so it can be self-hosted?

As much as I love the fact that I have my choice of server and client I have to say that it does make me wonder if it affects adoption. When the Mastodon growth spikes happened the complaint that I heard most often was from people that coul

Do you have a source for the claim of the average software engineer becomes a millionaire? As a software engineer I would really like for you to be correct.

Big fan of Steam here but I wouldn't say it was _always_ amazing. In the beginning, it was a friends network that was almost always down and a launcher for games I already owned and played without a launcher for years. I hated it for

Not sure why you're going so hard at OP. Just don't use the tool and move on, man :) Its totally OK if you like different tools. The acerbic response is totally unnecessary.

The absolute shit show that was the brunt (thus far) of the covid pandemic has me wondering which of these "legit sources" deserve my trust. This is not to say that they are all malicious but when looking at all of the the expert
