Also: do you think the telephone network has no oncall engineers?

No, actually, I can’t. My phone doesn’t have a phone number and can’t make calls.

Not all websites are for shitposting. I can’t talk to my clients for whom I am on call because Signal is down. I also can’t communicate with my immediate family. There are tons of systems positively critical to society downstream from

Then do that instead. What’s the problem with simply saying “no”?

by sneak 1y ago
Guilt tripping? Quite the opposite. If you or anyone else are doing on-call for no additional pay, precisely nobody is forcing you to do that. Renegotiate, or switch jobs. It was either disclosed up front or you missed your chance to say

> But this is not normal. Our users not being able to shitpost is simply not worth my weekend or evening. It is completely normal for staff to have to work 24/7 for critical services. Plumbing, HVAC, power plant engineers, doctors

Businesses are indeed people; they cannot think or act or plan or do. They are groups of people acting in concert. Without people, there are no businesses. Without people, there are no business initiatives, no products, no sales, no prof

The AGPL is a nonfree license that violates freedom 0. It's a EULA posing as a copyright license. It's nonsensical. https://sneak.berlin/20250720/the-agpl-is-nonfree/

This is an anti-free-software narrative that is not supported by available evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software Freedom 0 is important. It's not some big tech conspiracy.

Oh, the M5s available max out at 32GB ram, even in the MBP. That’s a nonstarter for me in a pro machine.

Cool. My maxxed out M4 Max MBP is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Guess I’ll return it.

It’s not open core (which is a type of open source), it’s not open source, and it’s not “not pure open source”. It’s not open at all. It’s a nonfree license. It’s neither free as in freedom nor free as in beer. You’re not “all for free soft

It wasn’t you, the sarcasm was obvious. Germans generally don’t understand sarcasm, written or spoken.

So many subscription-based things in Germany are outright scams that would be criminal elsewhere. Mobile phone contracts, internet service contracts principally among them. Two year contracts that auto renew and can only be cancelled in sm

I read the agreement for ID.me and it’s atrocious. It requires that I “voluntarily” waive civil rights. I don’t want to use the service. There is no other way to log into IRS.gov. You can’t watch YouTube without a Google account. You can
