  • I’m personally not ok with not having a way to ensure that I’m not seeding nazi manifestos that were stealthing as a reasonably named subplebbit.

    I kind of get the feeling this is exactly the content they want to help host when they refer to "censorship resistance". This was also the key selling point of Gab when it launched.

    Edit: even their logo is a meme commonly used in far right circles, so there seem to be a lot of dog whistles for the type of community they want to create.

  • Technically cool, but it's scary that it tries to emulate the anonymous, unmoderated shithole that is 4chan. Go to 4chan now and try to imagine something even more racist, nazi and unhinged.

  • I was going to write that every function should be a service as sarcasm, then I realized that's exactly what this article is proposing. Now I'm not even sure how to make a more ridiculous proposal than this.

  • I just saw this late, but I agree here. Also they added CI to Github with very generous limits (which were promptly abused to mine bitcoin), whereas before you had to use something like TravisCI which hit free limits constantly or some complicated solution using your own Jenkins server. Not to mention very restrictive private repos before the MS takeover.

    People just like to complain because "Micro$oft bad" but when you point out the facts it's just crickets...

  • They use Bevy for ECS and custom rendering with Vulkan. It's right there in the article:

    Anastasia started with Bevy because it was the easiest thing to jump into, and we're still using a modified version of Bevy to this day

    Also mentioned in other places like this presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusWW2pPnA0

  • Look, I get it that it's trendy to hate on Microsoft, but these complaints don't even make sense. You complain about requiring an account to contribute, and then you propose some other services that do the exact same thing! Turning github into a 4chan style free-for-all is a terrible idea. Maybe that's exactly why you VPN got blocked, because it's enabling spam accounts. And what info are you giving Microsoft to create an account? An email, a password and a username? Not exactly doxxing material, is it? I just searched for some code from one of my repos in incognito and it was the first thing that popped up.

    Microsoft is not preventing you from migrating, it's just that there is no standard for issues, discussions, PRs etc. But every other service has an import tool that can do it if needed. And if you're only hosting code (doubt) you're a git remote add & git push away from being free of that evil Microsoft that is hosting all your repos for free.

    I hate Microsoft and big corporations just about as much as anyone on Lemmy, but geez, pick your battles people.

  • Just commit to a different branch, and then rebase to main. If you're putting this shit into main, it's not the tool's fault.

  • I unironically had a screening interview with a recruiter that asked "If you were creating a startup, would you use microservices?". She didn't like that my answer was "It depends, I don't have enough information to answer".

  • Dwarf Fortress creator blasts execs behind brutal industry layoffs: 'I think they're horrible… greedy, greedy people'

  • It's important to understand that this is not just individual greed. The problem is that greed is ingrained into the system. Capitalism simply does not function without greed.

    The only reason shareholders will move their capital is if the company is expected to grow. What is the point in risking your money if there is no profit? This search for infinite growth is what leads to the death of products. It creates different objectives and incentives than simply making a good product that users will pay for and providing a steady job for employees. A situation where the company does not grow but continues to make a good product and pay its workers a decent wage is an acceptable one for everyone except for shareholders.

    Executives are just the middle layer between investors and workers. They make sure that investors get their return on investment, since investors don't really give a shit about the product or even how it operates, they just care about the numbers on the balance sheet. And as someone noted in another comment, they are paid mostly in company stock so that the interests of shareholders become partially their own.
