Why are you doing all project management in Discord?

If someone’s downloading a github repo as a zip I’d consider that a sign they’re not familiar with github lol

I’m sure that if I make a folk replacing the flag with nyancat, davel@lemmy.ml won’t come to tell me that I should change the license and make warnings to those who report it, but to delete worthless nonsense.

This is the only strawman argument I’ve seen in this thread

Mate. You’re the one who says this open source app isn’t relevant to a community discussing open source software. The burden of proof is on you to prove its not relevant. If anything this project is as core to open source as it gets. This person wanted to explore a part of their computer system, picked a target for how to make something happen, did it, and then shared it.

Concluding that you’re a homophobe isn’t based on ad hominem attacks or straw man arguments. Its based on that you have NOTHING substantial to say that this doesn’t belong so the rest of us have to figure out what the hangup is and the only thing we can figure out is that its controversial because its about LGBTQIA+ pride and you don’t like that. We’d love to reach a different conclusion but you haven’t given us a lot to work with

Kinda seems like that’s everyone who has a hangup on this’ REAL hangup, doesn’t it

How is this not relevant to open source ideology?

They’re terrorists, warlords, and sometimes both

That and Disney decided they wanted to break (sorry. Let me use the business terms. “Disrupt”) the market by having a vertical integration of streaming platform and production company. The thing is, it did great for the in the short term, but may have harmed them long term. Meanwhile everyone else is now chasing the model that may actually be losing Disney money because short term greed is the only driver in our economy

Okay but that’s ALSO what Peacock is. Look at peacock’s catalog and Netflix catalog and tell me its better rather than just different

Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to sat this:

Peacock Sucks Ass

NBC / Universal were one of the first movers in streaming with Seeso. Did they learn lessons from Seeso about how to run a good streaming service? No they abandoned it almost immediately basically saying “this whole streaming thing is just a fad, anyway”

The results? Now its hard to watch those old (genuinely excellent) Seeso shows, and NBC / Universal has managed to make itself late to the streaming party when they were a first actor. And the service itself? Ass. Total cheeks. Major butt. Absolute balloon knot. It always has technical issues AND scanning within an episode is hard because it doesn’t do it in chunks, it acts like a slider in constant motion.

Conclusion: don’t look at Peacock as the idiot child of the streaming landscape. View it as the logical conclusion to media companies’ corporate greed. They want you to pay money for a service that sucks, that’s chock full of ads (oh! That’s another thing. Where do you get off showing me three minutes of ads, Peacock, who do you think you are?), and doesn’t even work decently right while a lot of these UX problems have been solved for over two decades (DVD scanning is easy and fine).

I think it’s the result of a vast misinformation campaign. To get the LLMs to show political bias you have to pump them full of twisted language and lies until eventually they start saying everything that’s true is false

Write your manifestos

Its the casualness. Gay men talk about gay sex the same way straight men talk about straight sex: clumsily, and frequently.

“Straight” men talking about gay sex talk about gay sex how romantic novelists talk about sex: detailed, florid, and full of euphemisms that someone paint an even more detailed portrait

That’s new and well warranted from when I joined

I have a bi ex who broke up with me because she knew her lesbian friend group would ostracize her for dating a man. The queer community can be incredibly discriminatory against the bi part of itself

I’m not annoyed at this one. Republic of Gaming and Gaming Laptop are two chunks. ROG is the brand. Gaming Laptop is the product

Keep in mind a right wingers view of the left is like a Catholic’s view of satanism, agnosticism, and atheism. The assumption isn’t that the left wants fundamentally different things, the assumption is that the left wants different means to the same end, that end being a controlled world view. When right wingers create these things, they tell on themselves. They present what the left wants as simply being fully in opposition to their target audience thinks about. They view left and right as oppositional parties thirsty for control. It doesn’t matter if the reason the left defended Bill Clinton in the 90s was that impeachment should be used to curb illegal behavior, not for personal petty squabbles. That’s how the right uses impeachment trials, so that’s their presumption of what the left uses them for, too.

As for the things the left does want but don’t appear here? These are things the right doesn’t conceive of as being actual aims. No public transit? That’s because they do not care about or think about it

wobbles hands capitalism!

Reddit SEO captured them. They got shitty because they stopped growing, and when a community stops growing, it decays. And yes. They’re absolutely better

I assumed we weren’t talking “expected semicolon” since that ones pretty explanatory and would never appear on a blank line. That said, it does provide an opportunity to talk about the worst code style I ever saw. A dude decided he wanted semicolons at the start of lines so that compiler error always mapped to the line he would have put the semicolon on
