I'm worried that what they'll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can't dedicate in the way a megacorp can.

"The founding maintainers were perfect in every way and their vision doesn't need adjustment!"

"Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that's just propaganda from trolls."

Every single poster I've seen responding to articles on Lemmy and kbin from this site have been shitty, angry little pricks with regressive takes on everything. We need to block these trolls before they ruin engagement from well-reasoned humans.

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren't interested in accepting fixes.

Maybe I'm becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don't really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. "Yes, so much bargaining power!"

I can't find the article I'm thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don't even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

It's like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.

I'm not a fan of LPC either, but I wouldn't say he broke all of his promises.

He didn't keep them all, either.

Copyright won't help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would've resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.

Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.

Of course, the moment the constructive criticism is only coming from the outside will be when it gets labeled as foreign manipulation to further cement tribalistic mentality and provide fresh out-groups to hate and fear.

I would honestly love a rule banning the submission of articles that use the "slammed/blasted" headline.

Gotta practice that passive language to avoid laying blame anywhere. Wouldn't want to step in it themselves, right?

I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight...
