If you publish a project under the organization can't you include a license yourself? The people running the organization might not know or understand the benefits of releasing with a license. It could be a good opportunity to teach them why releasing code with open source and copyleft licenses is important.

I pretty much never use Bluetooth since all my connectivity is either wired or WiFi, but my damn phone keeps turning it back on automatically.

I got a Henson safety razor several months ago and can't recommend it enough, it's a much better shave than a cartridge razor, blades are dirt cheap, and doesn't make any plastic waste. You can pretty easily find codes online for 100 free blades as well.

The problem is the Gnome team doesn't give a flying rat's ass about maintaining a stable api. I've never bothered with extensions because even the most basic stuff only works for one or two versions. The neovim team is pretty committed to backwards compatibility and following standards for interoperability like LSP these days, so it's much easier for third parties to maintain a large set of extended functionality at this point. If they acted like the gnome team, your status bar plugin would break every other update.

Tbf, does anyone actually "like" C++?

Pretty crazy to reccomend Java as a secure alternative.

I don't know if I'd really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they're being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you're just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren't union. You could end up tied to whatever company you're at currently for the rest of your career, since I'd imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It's also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.

Now it'll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it

[-] ScreaminOctopus 20 points 10 months ago

They can't, even suggesting they'd think of making such a move would've ruined them. No one in their right mind would do business with a company that's willing to even entertain retroactive changes to payment structure. Just an insane risk to take.

If your cloud provider decides to screw you you're gonna have to put physical infrastructure together no matter what license their software is distributed under.

Another 14 year old probably asked this

I don't understand why you'd be fixing unit tests he broke during his pr. It seems like he might be bullying you? Maybe discuss with your manager.

I apologize if this isn't the right community to post feature suggestions.

I've seen a lot of posts/comments with people complaining about the community search function in lemmy/jerboa/mlem with people replying with a link to the lemmyverse community search. It would be helpful for new users if the lemmyverse search was integrated somehow. Right now I think the difficulty in discovering the communities you're looking for is the biggest barrier to entry for lemmy.
