No, it’s actually a comment section for a Youtube video, and it is appropriate to voice an opinion related to it here.

The meme you’re parroting fits better when someone goes wildly off-topic, which is not what happened here.

I see, that explains it. Would have been useful to put that somewhere in the title or video description, tho.

I have to say I’m not terribly big fan of videos with a title that is opposite of the message. It feels cheap. “Don’t do X unless you want [long list of benefits of doing X]”. Why do we need this?

A few years ago many countries were marketing themselves with “Don’t go to [country name]”, and it was cringe already then.

Edit: I actually didn’t have any patience to watch the video initially, apart from skimming here and there, so I missed the fact that the speaker hasn’t seen the slides beforehand and it’s some kind of a joke presentation. Would have been nice to see it in the title or video description.

Here is an Iron Law I have learned from two decades on Facebook: If you are 39 years old and married with two children, you do not get this ripped unless you are deeply unhappy.

Oh man, that hurt.

Sorry I can’t really contribute to your question, but would anyway like to take the opportunity to air my grievances: I hate Youtube shorts and TikToks with fierce passion. The format of short videos makes sense and is a good idea to some extent, but who the hell decided we’re not allowed to rewind our videos anymore? I want to hunt down that person, go to their house at night and tell them that they are not very good at their job so loud that their whole family can hear it.

Ah yes, of course that way around. Makes sense, thanks!

Ah ok, and I suppose the reason is that GPL is more permissive than MIT? Sorry, can’t remember the ins and outs of these licenses by heart…

I know very little about this, care to elaborate?

I think Zuck does BJJ, not judo. Which would be even better for the cage fight.

Also, having hydraulic joints and titanium frame helps to absorb any damage Musk could inflict.

Nebula is not bad. I paid for it for a year, but had some issues with not enough content and the buggy UI on Firefox. If Youtube blocks adblockers, I’ll certainly go back to it.

The good thing about Lemmy is that it’s open source. Community requests are easy to make and will be discussed. Creating third party apps should not be an issue either.

The bad thing about Lemmy, on the other hand, is that it’s open source. There’s no VC funding to hire hundreds of overpaid developers to fix things quickly, so we just have to be a bit patient and give the devs time to make the necessary changes.

Anyone care to explain what this is? I went to the subreddit, but couldn’t find it there either.

I’ve really enjoyed the lack of guerrilla marketing on Lemmy. But indeed it’s great that the platform is not so big that it needs some algorithms to decide what to show, and in doing so attracts all kinds of content optimizers.

Seems like the way to make energy out of fusion would be to burn the budgeted cash instead in a conventional furnace.

Link to the said essays, so it’s clear what we’re dealing with here: https://github.com/dessalines/essays

Ok, so the guy likes his communism. I do find it weird (and a bit stupid), but he can’t control the instances he hasn’t started, and doesn’t directly benefit from them. So it’s very hard to see the problem here.

Where’s the actual questionable content? All I could find was a Mastodon thread claiming the devs have shitty opinions without any links to any actual people raising these opinions. The best I can do is guess they are referring to lemmygrad, which indeed looks like a brain dead shit hole of insanity, but how does that relate to the developers again? A bit more clear-cut presentation would be greatly beneficial, as this level of discussion is FUD as best.

I doubt the corporate sponsorship has anything to do with the recent drama in the dev team. I also think it’s a very good sign big companies are sponsoring Rust, as it shows they believe in its potential and help its adoption.

Rust is a really cool language, but all this drama has been very off-putting. I sincerely hope the team gets their shit together and learns from this.
