These are people that lucked into working at FAANG 10 years ago and been riding the coattails since. Highly incompetent people dictating how we should all work.

Yeah but only one is destroying democracy and embracing fascism.

Yeah, I forgot all those poor people that own social media companies, news outlets, and transnational corporations; truly the shapers of society are the meek and not billionaires, man I was fooled hard.

We must always remember that the rich + elites do not care how we are. They do not care if we're fed, they do not care if we get adequate medical care, or find love or start families. The only thing the rich cares about is what we thin

Expecting people to do the right thing is a fundamental issue here. Why would you ever expect for all of vulnerabilities to be disclosed privately? There's very little actual incentive to do this. I'm honestly unaware of what syst

so something that 95% of the users of Zed will end up doing? You're arguing this is a good thing because there is a "choice" in how the company gets to fuck you over?

You don't understand why tech workers are suddenly visibly, even violently, angry at an industry they helped usher into power whose leadership hold deeply anti-human and anti-democratic views? Honest Q just for you: have you been in a

It's also pretty funny when you realize that the GOP loves MMT when it comes granting tax cuts but when you use the same MMT principles they use for say social welfare suddenly MMT is nonsense!

Did Zed ever answer their code of conduct violation? https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/36604

Yes, this group had a great interview on The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder. Really both inspiring and infuriating. Inspiring in that human ingenuity to preserve and help others truly knows no limits; infuriating because these are a peop

This kind of absolutism is absolute necessary against tech leadership that are anti-democracy.

lol those are extremely anti-consumer and anti-human behaviors. Some of us don't want to live in a corporate hell holes.

VC money is absolutely not a means to an end, what is signals is that the company doesn't care about community and only cares about profit. I'm with the OP you're replying to. Taking VC is an albatross that means a large port

I'm aware of who this person is, been following their work since their egghead.io doodle days. What I would never do is put this person in a position involving software research when they were never professionally a software developer

That totally justifies the very normal extortion like blog post in response.

Seriously, this author comes across as an absolute sore loser if this is the PR they are referring too: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/12283 Someone asking you to write a test for new code and the

I didn't suspect you were a bot; I'm a fan of the semicolon and ()'s myself.

Oh wow I didn't know Uber solely relied on private roads, had their own DMV, or fleet of millions of cars; truly an innovative company that doesn't rely on public infrastructure!

Why doesn't it answer the question? If you are a selfish individual that doesn't believe in giving back. there simply isn't much to discuss. These companies literally could not exist without the massive public dollars + suppo

Then tech leaders suddenly act shocked when society violently starts rejecting them.

Honestly the arrogance of their workers are truly astounding. It also tracks that someone with little software experience would become GitHub's staff research engineer. Truly a massive signal that we can't let these companies lead

Well do you consider yourself a good human or a greedy one? Do you care about others and community or just yourself?

by shimman 6mo ago
Yeah, if you're hosting your own just use forgejo. Forgejo has a better governance model and is actually open source, not a corporate project that happens to advertise in open source. The distinction is meaningful.

You don't understand why people are upset at an individual that is proudly proclaiming that 100s of millions of Americans will become unemployed and there is nothing to do be done about it? In a country where being unemployed is a lite

Yes, these people need to know their actions are routinely hated in the community. They should be boo'd at conferences too.

This isn't feedback. This is saying your company and your leadership are absolutely toxic to the tech community if this is how you treat people that made you wealthy. It's disgusting behavior.

Still feel extremely negative towards this company for tweaking an Alacritty fork then using that to get a $50million venture round then giving zero money towards Alacritty, an open source library that the founder completely owes their care

GitHub, along with MSFT in general, have massive copilot mandates where workers are being shamed into using slop tools to fix serious on-going issues. GitHub seems wholly incapable of resolving their issues: money isn't a problem, tale

I see we're now entering the "Sam Bankman-Fried" stage of buying goodwill.

Maybe, but this is also a company whose parent organization is worth a trillion+ dollars that have monopolies in multiple verticals. I know American corpos hate the idea of protecting the commons and would rather fuck it raw to fulfill thei
