  • An architect of GameStop's long-forgotten Steam competitor explains why he thinks Valve came out on top: 'What Steam did better than anybody else was to create a community'

  • He steam community forums are a disaster 😅

  • So Firefox and its forks are safe?

  • Should we potentially create a Harry Potter Instance?

    Jump

  • No need to do it yourself. Let someone do it for you. There's Communickwhich can also setup a matrix server for you (in addition to Lemmy). There might be others, but I dont know of them.

    I think it's the cost of a Netflix subscription.

  • Forking frenzy ensues after Euro-Office launch sparks OnlyOffice backlash

    Jump

  • I dont understand why collabora and libreoffice don't work together. Why compete? And what is this onlyoffice fork? Why not work with libreoffice instead? There could be a massive effort going into libreoffice but somehow everybody's going their own way. It makes it so easy for Microslop

  • Has your company lost its mind with AI, too?

    Jump

  • I'm cleaning up AI slop but have been tasked with using more AI to do it faster and deliver more features. Doesn't matter to me. I'm getting paid 🤷 It'll be somebody else's problem soon enough, if the company survives.

    My eye will be on the job market soon and I do wonder what it will be like. It seems like AI is eroding the minds of many.

  • Visa is bringing AI to credit card charge disputes

  • Oh they do, they are just regional - for now.

  • How do I open source an Android app?

    Jump

  • Yep, signing is mandatory, according to the docs. It's necessary for updating the app. You don't have to use Google, you can self-sign it.

  • POV: M$ releases a new VSCode version

    Jump

  • Thanks. I had to use a VPN. No idea why it's banning my IP. There can't be too many people in this building using the fediverse.

    Jump

  • Codeberg or gitlab as a source forge. Depending on how private you are, you can start a fresh git repository, then your private history won't be exposed.

    Otherwise, a license and gitignore file and you're done. Maybe a README if you fancy. And if you want to go overboard, add the apk or request for it to be put on F-Droid

  • Image gone 🤕 Did Microslop slopify VSCode?

  • Tragic mistake... Anthropic leaks Claude’s source code - The Code Report

    Jump

  • Tragic. Now the floor will be raised and they will have to innovate. Truly tragic

  • If not Github, where would you host your projects?

    Jump

  • Radicle, codeberg, gitlab, sourcehut, tale your pick. Github isn't the only option. Far from it.

  • Donating gives you Freedom

    Jump

  • I'd have to find their blog post again where they reveal their financials. IIRC it was 50 staff and each was earning half a million or something on average. Maybe I read or remember it wrong but the blog post or comments by Signal staff (maybe even the CEO?) were quite elitist regarding their reasons for hiring US staff or staff living in the US only.

    What the true reasons are I dont know. Maybe indeed multinational hiring is just too complicated, who knows, but the way the responses were worded were maybe unfortunate, but at revealing for me.

  • Donating gives you Freedom

    Jump

  • I donate at least 1k a year to opensource. There is no shortage of good opensource projects deserving donations; good in the sense of quality and those that fit into my worldview.

    I'm a fierce believer in remunerating opensource and of way stronger political opinions. What I won't donate to, is this idea that the US is the only place on the planet where skilled workers exist that can do this type of work. Orgs believing in US execeptionalism are great. Go be exceptional, just without my money. They won't miss it.

  • Donating gives you Freedom

    Jump

  • I try and donate where I can, but stuff like Signal, that refuses to employ engineers outside of the US because "talent doesn't exist anywhere else" is where I draw the line. Yes, opensource donations are amazing, but not for projects with attitudes like that.

  • Spaces has landed on Element X!

    Jump

  • IIRC, it still doesn't support threads, nor mentions of users nor rooms, much less spaces.
