I'm really confused by your attitude that a company giving out a quality free service is some kind of abusive orphanage owner giving out slop to kids here. Like, are you against them making money off of this? This isn't Netflix cu

But that's what I mean - I don't feel like they're beating users for more profit here as much as just eating Patreon's lunch. As a user, if someone I'm paying $5/month on Twitch or Patreon wants me to pay them

Sure, but that's essentially just "we all agree capitalism sucks, right?" in more words. I'd rather I just get a free voice chat app forever, but given that that's not the way this current economy works, I'm go

You can definitely tune to to be a lot tighter - there's UX settings that make it far more minimal, or let you collapse things down.

Sure, and if they can offer a better product than Patreon then it's good for Discord and for the people running the communities. Most folks I know who use Patreon loathe it - they've barely improved the product in the last few yea

Plenty of Discord communities are offshoots of wikis or websites that publish their Discord-workshopped information in public places. There's this assumption that crops up on here a lot that Discord being a more walled garden somehow p

I do think Discord has a better story when it comes to it being able to monetize cleanly. They have clear and useful features to sell, and have done so decently successfully as far as I know. It's not to say that they won't get wo

I'm not sure the good wording for it, but it's sort of the "it's not the crime, it's the coverup" situation. Some small set of folks were mad about the original API stuff. The response to those people was so

Or we're very used to all of this and are relatively fine migrating to the next new place that is still in the "pretending to be good" phase. A social network isn't a bank or a house. I'm not using it with the assum

I think some of the pushback that I feel to that is that it seems like a socially acceptable guise for just wanting to hate rich people. I'm fine if your opinion is "screw rich people who spend this much on weird things", or

Oh sure. I'm not arguing this is a good idea or not a way to show off your money, just that it's kinda a weird assertion that visiting a place where people died and weren't properly buried at some point in the past is uniquel

Isn't visiting places filled with dead and decomposing people a fairly normal tourist activity? Various catacombs, graveyards, temples, battlefields, memorials, Pompeii... I've got no real thoughts on the "stupidity" of

This seems true, but there's also another level to it. If you're a major figure in a community yourself, you have plenty of other outlets to show off and get your message out. Those folks come to posts on Reddit because the audien

The issue is Jira's permission management also seems terrible in the exact way that makes it hard to create that sort of role without making that person also responsible for a myriad of banal options that everyone needs turned on.

My guess would be that the entities short-sighted enough to still be using those languages in 2023 are also ones short sighed enough to not invest in the training to preemptively hire juniors without the skillset to train them up.

This is absolutely a thing, but I'd say there's a related option which is "Job Listing Driven Development". The more niche, dated, or specific your platform is, the harder it is to hire people onto the team who don'

I've seen this even without the code - them just bouncing between teams and sitting in on many meetings and sort of being the common note-taker who then knows where almost every team is going, what they need, and what cross-team work c

Doing the sort of simple solutions to your specific job's actual problems can also be something that constrains your ability to work anywhere else. Often the best simple solution that's tightly integrated into your job's envi

I feel like the strongest issue I have with Jira, and the one that most often trips me up, is that so many features and settings are global, and aren't the minimal set. For a sufficiently large org, you need a high degree of rigor ar

This is exactly what I've been doing. Twitter is different - I followed 5-10 people I really cared about, and I followed them to Mastodon. The issue with Reddit is there were no single people I really cared about on Reddit that I could

Maybe they can replace mods with new volunteers, but Reddit Admins have also just explicitly shown that mods with valid complaints will get no support, may be libeled, and potentially have an admin-led coup done against them if they don&#x2

Sure, but I'm thinking about stuff like just going to Nordic countries or even the UK. A lot of Europe isn't that far away from a country that doesn't follow EU rules. I was under the impression that you could, for the most p

Which could make for a really interesting experiment - how many people would buy the EU replaceable battery edition of the phone vs. importing/traveling to a non-EU country nearby to buy the other version. It seems clear that there wil

I'm really surprised this isn't what they're doing. It has the same effect without causing a lot of strife and backstabbing that is surely just going to poison the well further.

Maybe for some major subs, but I've had multiple small-to-medium sized subs die because a mod retired/deleted their account and no one stepped up quickly to replace them. Reddit kills unmodded subs really fast . Sure, the major f

Sure, but other people are making videos playing games or eating food or whatnot. There's clearly an interest in his sort of philanthropic videos that has gotten him more attention than other people.

His high number of fans/views? People like him. They like watching him. They like what he's doing. Is that not overt celebration of what he's doing over someone else doing... whatever else on Youtube?

Treehouse is almost definitely in that conversation as well. Hill Farmstead as well. The uproar is probably more among folks who follow the industry though. Most people have seen Anchor at a grocery store at some point. They were, I'm

My understanding is also that canning lines can be a lot more compact than bottling lines, so cheaper/easier to install in a smaller brewery. For a while, I know there were a couple local breweries who essentially time-shared a canning

Yea, my read is that Endeavour and Manjaro are fairly similar in goals and user-friendliness. In general, I think Manjaro is perhaps a bit more opinionated in terms of UX and general stuff I've heard about the maintainers and their pac
