Genuinely curious: Why would you have a problem with that? Were you planning on taking their code and reselling it?

Thanks for the clarification. Source First is obviously better because it prevents big corporations from ripping off small developers and profiting from it.

Good point. I think the difference is that the society as a whole was much higher-trust than it is today. America is back to being the Wild West, take what you can and don’t look back.

> after which all participants switch to the bad behavior

This is how it has become with job applications. So many people started lying on resumes that the job reqs starting raising the requirements for a position, which causes more people to need to lie. If you don't lie, you just don't get a job and starve/die.

And yet iPhone photos still look awful because of over-processing. That one split second when you see the beautiful photo you took and then BOOM "deep fusion" makes it looks crispy and gross.

Goals to increase diversity are not illegal. And if an HR person were to hire a non-diverse person, it would be actively going against the company goals. So why would they ever do that?

But how do you avoid hiring a non-diverse person? What if the hiring manager likes them? Simple, just don’t even give them a screening at all. “Not a culture fit”

She thinks that was terrifying?

I’ve been applying for 2 years and landed maybe 5 interviews, none of which offered me a job. Two friends recommended me for jobs and I couldn't even get phone calls screenings.

Note: I am a white male.

> the director and screenwriter have said that it's basically orientalism and ornament and they've gotten rid of it because it's distracting

I honestly didn't notice. The Fremen still seem heavily middle eastern to me.

Who says they want it to be for all classes?

Right now, the rich are disproportionately punished for having children while the poor are basically paid for it. How about flip flopping that?

That makes sense. I guess I would just add that the users don’t know if it’s a good experience yet.

Maybe it sounds good on paper but in practice it amounts to a nothingburger and is essentially the same as manually moving instances in the fediverse.

> their excuse was that Matrix didn't have account migration

Neither does BlueSky… or if they do “have” it, it’s never been used because there is still only one server.

Bandcamp has always lacked a coherent vision.

They have an app but it is incredibly underpowered and lacking logical features.

Each band can list their tour dates but there is no feed where users can see all of the bands that are going to be in their area, etc.

Just very frustrating because all the primitives are in place, but there’s no product vision.

Plume looks nice! How does the sync work? Local first rocks, but I do want some redundancy as well. Are there plans for multiplayer or sharing?

> In this paper, Pelli and colleagues show that when reading words that have been distorted by presenting each letter in visual noise (like an out of tune television), readers do not perform as well as an 'ideal observer' who can recognise words based on their shape alone

I said being able to see the word shape is very helpful. I did not say that you can read based on the word shape alone.
