Very different context there. I’d much prefer a Bernie (minus the Israel stance) or an AOC, but some points in history call for pragmatism. I’m a Brit anyway, so not really my circus.

I’d like to hear what you think is right in the current situation. Throwing quotes and platitudes without serious discussion of the options is a shallow discussion.

You prefer Trump or Kamala? Do you genuinely see another option? I hardly see the overthrowing of the capitalist class is happening in the next 4 months. What do you think is best for the Palestinian cause, Kamala or Trump?

Plus, Kamala in the vid is talking to AIPAC, in a very different context. What do you genuinely expect a politician to say?

No matter how bad she is, she’s against a guy who tried to recognise Jerusalem as the sole capital of Israel.

These Dem’s are poor, these Republicans are horrific. Discrediting Kamala only serves to reduce Dem turnout and increase likelihood of a Trump win. Do you really want that?

Trash her after the election, we do not have time for this now.

Oh, and sharing x content, and driving traffic there, to a website who’s owner is supporting the capitalist class is hardly beneficial to anyone.

Nah, it’s quite big and well known in open source circles.

You do you, though.

Trump recognised all of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, right?

I’m sure he’s not going to be amping up the military support… /s

Yes, and you do it at the point you need to work on that feature. The business pay for it when they want the change.

You do not pay for the refactor with your time, if the company won’t pay to fix their code. Just make it clear the risks and how bad it could be if you carry on with duct tape fixes.

You have to be strong and firm and not agree to hacks. You need to work with your team to ensure you’re on the same page rather than getting undermined by cowboy dev claiming he can do the feature in 2 days when it needs 2 weeks to do the necessary work.

Some perhaps, but it very much reads like a hymn sheets for long covid sufferers symptoms.

It’s fine. They said Windows 10 is there last operating system. It sure is for me.

It actually doesn’t.

It is the open source code. You can optionally install Google play in a restrictive sandbox if you wish. You do not have to.

I cannot disagree with the last sentence. He has his fair share of issues, but it doesn’t take away from his ability or contributions.

Well Devops isn’t a role. It’s an approach in which bridges development and operations and integrating it in the team. It isn’t sticking a cloud engineer (cloud biased sysadmin) in the team. It’s about collaboration and delegating and supporting.

Cloud engineer is unfortunately what many orgs think devops is.

Depends on what you are referring to. If Linux Mobile, Android apps can be run on Waydroid and there is a compatibility layer like Wine available. However, for Linux Mobile, you’ll open up Gnome and KDE apps. In Plasma, you have kirigami which enables convergent apps (that work on desktop, mobile and tablet). As it matures, more apps will be developed that supports it.

The world and ecosystem now doesn’t define the ecosystems of the future.

What do you mean?

You can use sandboxes play store if you wish.

Well it’s open source android, if the code is bad, it’s jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.

The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.

I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.

I played this. A great game. That era and Bullfrog in particular were incredible. Dungeon Keeper is one of the best games I played. Theme Hospital and Theme Park were great. It was the golden age of strategy games. Age of Empires 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Red Alert games. Railroad Tycoon. I have no idea why this type of game became unpopular.

I strongly recommend Dungeon Keeper 1 (ideally gold with Deeper Dungeons add on) and Theme Hospital. Can get them on Gog.

I think the important thing is consent to use data. If I can control what data I share with them, it isn’t the end of the world. If I choose to not, and it’s honoured, then this is a good thing. I’d prefer this approach funding development to Mozilla not being able to compete.

Mozilla is a far superior company to Google.

You think they use official devices for all their stuff?

So you’re saying if Valve enshittified, they wouldn’t fork and try to capitilise on that market?

They probably do not see the point right now as Valve have it sewn up. Lemmy grew when Reddit scored own goals. When Valve do, opportunities are there and would be taken.

Maybe, but DRM free content isn’t exactly shareholder value…

It’s better shepherded than Epic. They probably don’t fill the space because Steam do it better, but you invest more if the return is higher.

The case I’m referring to is in the future if Steam badly enshittified.

Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won’t care. If none do, someone will want to.

Do questions really need to be answered outside of work time? Are blockers identifiable in advance so a plan can be put in place. Not many things need to be done outside work hours and team members can cover vacation if something desperately needs to be done.

Codeberg, or failing that, GitLab, or BitBucket. Allowing MS to control all FLOSS software, means they might probably secretly get consent to use your code for copilot training without respecting licences. I have no idea if this happens, or might in the future, as I ain’t reading the terms of service for something I do not use, however, I have little trust for them enough for air on the side of caution.
