I’ve submitted a few pull requests to some self hosting software repos. I’ve also put in a lot of time editing a large crowd sourced data set. Currently working on a crowd sourced set of translations on old public domain comics.

Even just reporting bugs you find or interface pain points is a big help. Nothing wrong with just being a user.

Curseforge, another Minecraft launcher that many modpacks get uploaded to and also supports multiple versions, has been working for about a year for me on Linux Mint too incase she ever wants that.

Most people when they hear “drama” they think things like the brain dead hissy fits on reality TV. The kind of pointless fighting we should avoid. Destigmatizing the word would legitimatize that stuff.

We really need a better word for this posts topic where there’s very public back and forth but it’s a much more valid moral disagreement.

One of us, one of us!

Nothing.

It’s also not a great language learning system

What you’re describing is a different problem that does exist but isn’t what’s going on here in the US. The layoffs have been so broad and across so many different industries with almost no rhyme or reason.

Several of my friends who have been in the industry for years, and quite good at what they do, have been laid off. Many of the companies fired people simply based on who was hired last (even if they’d been there 3 years and a high contributor). Others fired just based on which team made the least money back (without regard for if they were a support team or some other important group like an infrastructure team not directly developing a product but developing for all the other teams). The steel processing company one of my friends worked for developing their inventory system and such, they told each manager to lay off 20% of their team and didn’t give any more guidance.

The article focuses on the big companies like Google and Microsoft but country wide from the companies with only a few people on up have been laying off developers. This was a safe choice field a few years ago but more is flooded with competing applicants for job listings.

It’s understandable. You want to read the work as to the author intended.

I’d say it matters from work to work. Some like “La Horde du Contrevent” translations apparently can’t capture all the neoligisms and subtlety of the original. Something like Kafka relies less on the specific words usually and more the path of the story and ideas and so reading a translation is just fine.

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA

Gotcha. I saw kbin in the domain and them asking about kbin so I just figured they were on kbin still. I see now their instance does actually look to be on mbin

I hate to be the one to let you know if you didn’t but kbin is dead. It hasn’t had any new code in 2 years and the main instances aren’t running. There’s probably issues all over with it and will only get worse
