Yes. You corrected a dyslexic. Well done.

That is more down to poor marketing. Here on Lemmy or reddit there are big open source communities where you can extol the values of it.

I never went with a software project from random scrolling. It has no value to me if it doesn’t meet a need I have right now.

No contributor is going to be good that doesn’t use it.

Why would it be? Software is good based on it’s use and recommendations from real folk, not *s. Many project not on github

That is quite a mixed bag response. Leaves me between they won’t do nothing, and they might do something.

Anyway, that’s enough about yourself…

Feels like you never truly where on Reddit if you felt it was a beacon of warmth and friendliness. Did you ever share an opinion contrary to the prevailing opinion on there?

Isn’t this just the tech version of cuckooing?

Illegally using someone’s property to make profit from dodgy business.

Blender or GIMP? Idk.

Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.

You can tell it’s closed source… It has a great name.

It didn’t suddenly go that way. It was always the plan. A loss leader.

“When I work I like to do my job and then relax.”

They like to do it the other way around. They do nothing, then something. You do something then nothing. Why do you feel that your way has to b the right way and everyone else is wrong?

Do your workload, and no more, and be fine with it, or move to another organisation with the same problem.

The goal is for you to be able to understand that people in this world are different to you and that is fine. As long as you aren’t doing their job for them, it’s all good. If you choose to do that, it is on you.

I cannot see this working. Unless it can ask if you have enough anaesthetic and stop when you do not, otherwise, it’ll be an expensive torture device.

It was more than one mistake. Where was the QA, the staged rollout, the CI? It brought unto question how competent this company is to be a dominant player in such a critical market.

Nah, it’s quite big and well known in open source circles.

You do you, though.

It’s fine. They said Windows 10 is there last operating system. It sure is for me.

I think the important thing is consent to use data. If I can control what data I share with them, it isn’t the end of the world. If I choose to not, and it’s honoured, then this is a good thing. I’d prefer this approach funding development to Mozilla not being able to compete.

Mozilla is a far superior company to Google.

Codeberg, or failing that, GitLab, or BitBucket. Allowing MS to control all FLOSS software, means they might probably secretly get consent to use your code for copilot training without respecting licences. I have no idea if this happens, or might in the future, as I ain’t reading the terms of service for something I do not use, however, I have little trust for them enough for air on the side of caution.

Which they could also report on. The fact they’re removing a standard metric they’ve relied on, rather than relegate it, shows they have fear this metric is going to be detrimental to publish. You can fairly safely assume it’s going to go down. It’s no longer sexy, tik tok is killing it, and most that would be on it, are, and are discovering it’s not greatly beneficial to them and spending less time on it. It is the start of the decline. How long and how fast is the thing we do not know.

Same here. Dreadful name. Classic open source.
