that's the civilized way

Yeah they claim it's safe because it's through their store, but isn't this a direct path to a supply chain attack? One app using electron has one bad npm dependency and it auto installs and updates on every machine? This seems like a security nightmare scenario.

Bu hey marketing gets to put their shit in front of everyone's eyes so who cares.

Yeah this was a significant non answer. "We want to sound like we're doing something without doing anything"

Its one of those moments which just makes you really happy to be here

Yeah no shit. This was the plan all along. Big tech wanted to flood the market with too much talent so they could lower pay for engineers. This was always the plan.

They never gave two shits about women in coding, or inner city coding caml's. They wanted mass cheap labor.

The cherry on top is right as that labor was coming out they got a double whammy of AI too.

They also park in bike lanes and pedestrian areas so I'm not holding my breath.

That being said, yeah I'm not surprised either. Riding the bus looking at drivers I'll say a solid, very solid 1/4 minimum are doing something with their phones.

yeah... idk man. If you don't like Codeberg then don't use it? Why write a whole blogpost against it?

There are others, and there is forgejo you can run yourself. So your ideals don't align, they won't everywhere you go, keep looking for one that does.

I'm ootl, what happened? Wasn't buzz always Tim Allen?

And next year political dissidents

Why does everything have to be a war with mainstream media?

No, it's just a lot of people pissed that big tech wants to barge into their communities and eat up all of the resources.

While I agree they shouldn't be there... This is exactly why we shouldn't have centralized control.

Because yesterday it was the anti ICE apps. Today it's these. Tomorrow it can and be anything.

Living through this has taught me that while I was a strong federalist to try and guarantee rights and build out what I think will help society, it only takes one rogue faction to turn it all against you.
