It's nice to see comments that actually talk about unionizing. > It's all well and good for the commenters here to say that dream jobs will often have hard conditions, but that doesn't necessarily have to be so if we have

Kudos to you, for working on the stuff that you really like. These toy projects could teach us or the people that see them, a lot of stuff. "Senior Developers" doesn't mean that they will relate to everything related to soft

While I generally understand the borrow checker and lifetime. It proves challenging based on the kind of programs I write or while looking at source of any crate that I use. I knew Rust has very steep learning curve, but I try to overcome t

I just don't understand why people go on downvote spree. There are many things here that people can agree on or at least understand. Many of the common tools (both hardware & software) that common people use are at the hands of few

Exactly. The problem is, the West gets a moral high ground and even if they get criticism for their actions, the highest repercussions they encounter is "a slap to the wrist".

This was bound to happen with proprietary services like GitHub. It's better to use self-hostable services like GitLab & Gitea, where we can have regular backups of everything - code, issues and any other metadata. So, the service c

"If you’ve read my posts here I am not a bleeding heart lefty, but hear me out." Even if you are one, it's not a bad or anything. Putting the community before individual and looking out for one another isn't a bad thing.

I've seen a comment in reddit sometime before that said, "I would use Linux if it had all the programs I use day to day in Microsoft Windows". Though I can understand this, Microsoft providing support for Linux inside Windows

A nice try, but I think I'll stick to the current minimalist design without the scroll.

[Rant] It's all business for them. They don't love Linux anymore than they do FLOSS. Argument would be, "but Microsoft is one of the biggest open source contributors". It's like philanthropy, you give money to those

Even if we trust that without the LED being on, the camera is never on, it does actually provide little consolation. Unless Apple has covered every single scenario, where any program trying to access the camera, can't do so without the

People should stop defending the caste system. I've seen people explain it on FB like how it was misconstrued or what we see today came from the British. Call it out for what it is, even if it was in the Vedas, literature or God said i

TDF could've avoided all this by not doing it in the first place. They sure would've known what the community's reaction was going to be. Anyone contributing "a lot" (financial & technical), either Enterprise or

Problem is, other nations might follow suit & come with up with similar laws for their own means or persuasion from the US.

Yeah, they might pay for your insurance, give you free food, but that's it. The ultimate motive is to make profit, by getting every bit of work from you. You can sugarcoat it however you want, but to an employer, you are just a liabili

I think you should give this a read. How the Reich systematically did their deeds. Argument about CAB, should also include its counterpart NRC. When NRC is applied, you "exclude people" as illegal immigrants, and in CAB, you &quot

Exactly. People with such overly idealist mindset don't think through the fact that, what they consider to be a safe bubble around them, will eventually be shrunken by someone/some group, with even bigger mindset.

It would be naive to think that Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook would be less cooperative. Remember, these are profit making entities. You don't pay them enough to defend you to death (also, thinking you could pay so, would be a fool&

Compared to what the US has done and is doing, Iran looks like a rookie. I despise Iran's rules and the way it police its people. But, the way US gets away with whatever it does, is baffling. Snowden leaks, WikiLeak's diplomatic c

I know that Iran is worse, but the West is no saint either, with the atrocities it does around the world. Your country/government is always good when you're not on its bad side. Same goes for mine as well.

It's always right when the West and big corporations do it, because they are the good guys, right?. Everyone has an agenda, whether its open or hidden. Any form of violation of privacy or rights and anyone who does it should be held ac
