As someone who frequently uses open source software but doesn't code much, the prevalance of this kind of attitude is very concerning.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why the maintainers feel the way they do, I'm just worried that all the software I've come to rely on will slowly become abandoned because of it.

I'm getting a new job soon that pays more, gonna put some money every month into supporting maintainers of the software I use financially going forward, starting with the more obscure stuff. hopefully that helps ease the burden.

I want to know if docker containers and kubernetes pods count as operating systems. If us plebs are forced to manually age verify, then Google should also be forced to have a human manually verify the age of the owner every time one of their pods spins up. I know it wont happen but imagine how hilarious it would be if we could hold them to that standard.

I know america is fascist now and that should be common knowledge at this point, but this guy literally got disappeared into the ~~mega prison~~ concentration camp in el Salvador because he wanted to show support for his autistic brother.

No trial, no reason given.

I seriously do not have the words for how sick this makes me feel.

I'm just guessing here, but the left image looks both low red and out of focus while the right one in much higher red and much more in focus, so it could be that the little bit of hair on his brow just doesn't show up well on the CCTV and that's why it looks like he has more monobrow hair on the right. I'm not dismissing the possibility that he's a different person completely, but if I go with an Occam's razor though process, I'm inclined to lean in the direction of it being a visual thing with the camera+lighting+environment difference rather than being a completely different (but similar looking) person with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

The fact that they're sending this message now means they will use this as an excuse go raise the prices even higher than nessesary to increase their profit margin. If they really cared about consumers then they should have been yelling from the treetops BEFORE the election.

Oh hey look more forced conservative propaganda.

The meme is literally correct. when you make an audio file into an mp3, it takes some of the sonic information that our brains are bad at noticing and just...completely removes it(to save storage space). if it's a high quallity mp3 its essentially completely unnoticable. That's why it's psychoacoustic, it uses psychology to fool your brain into thinking it sounds better than it does, litterally.

Psycoachoustic is basically just a big word for taking into account how our brains deal with what we hear.

Also I'm not saying mp3 is bad, in fact I think the opposite is true. I think it's good to think of it like being the .JPG of audio, you're not getting the original quallity and that's the point and unless you need to do manipulate that audio file and its a reasonable quallity then you likely won't notice the difference.

Ogg vorbis (.ogg) is a better codec though IMO.

Its a shame that they did that, especially since the largest neurodivergent community on lemmy was over there, but for anyone who calls this instance or lemmy.world home I saw we make this the new one.

I have no way to prove this story since I burned my reddit account, but I might as well share: when I was checking out lemmy for the first time I got both a beehaw and a lemmy.ml account(both were a pain to wet up) and both had serious reliability issues(this was right after the API announcement). I was looking on reddit to try and find more info about other instances then I found a comment chain with a couple of guys, one said he had a server, the other said he had the domain itjust.works and was looking for a subdomain. I though about it for a moment, and in a moment of sheer smartassery I suggested sh.itjust.works. not long after I saw in the comment chain that they went with my suggestion and put the server up lmao. At that point I knew they were chill, so I made an account on here as soon as I saw that it had gone up, and it's been rock solid ever since.

Edit: as @TheDude and others have pointed out, this happened here on the lemmy.ml instance, not reddit. It seems my memory is at fault lmao. I'm going to keep the rest of this comment unedited because its a good story anyways, but yea, I was wrong about where it happened. I'm glad I was wrong tho since i t means I still have that account, lol.
