Recommendations for a bug tracker/forum?

Does anyone have any recommendations for bug trackers with a forum feature? Basically something where users can report issues, request features, and ask questions, all about a specific service. Preferably, I’d like something that integrates with GitHub issues, but that’s not a requirement. Also I’d like something like a...

GitHub repositories can also have "Discussions" which are separate from issues. There's also a project concept on GitHub. I think you could just use what GitHub already has built in.

I know we're probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I'd be willing to pay a lot for it.

Problem is this robot will probably be on some subscription and soon with ads.

"Hey Robot please do the dishes"

"Sure - but have you considered that you'd get cleaner dishes if you bought this detergent?"

If I could buy it once and own it though, that'd be great.

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway (www.cnn.com)

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway::Reddit, the message board site known for its chronically online userbase and for originating much internet discourse, filed for its long-anticipated initial public offering on Thursday.

If a business was actually losing money for 20 years straight then how does it continue to grow?

It's because it keeps getting funded by venture capitalists, as far as I understand. Keeping it afloat because they believe it will eventually bring a return on that investment.

I feel like investments used to be a reasonable thing. Like some rich fella or a fund organization or something invested in a thing and then a little later (couple years at most I would say) it's profitable and can start paying back the investment (which was essentially a loan).

Now it's become more and more pyramid-scheme-esque. You start with a small funding round to get a bit of growth but you still grow faster than profits can keep up with. Then you get a slightly bigger funding round but you also grow slightly faster. Then you repeat this for 20 years and then you have Reddit's situation I suppose.

But it seems crazy. Why is there so much money in the world being spent for this potential return? I get it, investments do enable innovation and new businesses and all that. That's the supposed benefit of capitalism. But it's starting to feel ridiculous when it goes on for so long without ever producing a surplus of value.

Kind of cute but also kind of sad. Love is sometimes also a leap of faith and trust. It seems like they never really trusted each other, or themselves, to still love each other.

Personally I think marriage is not about force, but about trust. It's a confession of trust in your partner.

Wait so, who are they federating with? Nobody yet I guess until someone starts new servers using their protocol?

SorteKanin ,

Yea I really don't understand why they list this is a benefit. But they don't really explain it fully in the post it seems.

So every new user needs to block all the nazi servers themselves before they get a non-nazi feed?

The whole point of joining a server that defederates nasty stuff for you is that you delegate that responsibility to someone you trust to handle moderation for you. Just like you trust community mods or the admins of your instance on Lemmy.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

Because why would you federate using your own protocol when there's a perfectly viable protocol (ActivityPub) that you could use instead and you could federate with the whole Fediverse from day 1.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

Most users don't want to care about moderation like that. Users may care to block stuff they're not interested in like "I'm not interested in soccer so I'll block the soccer server/community". Most users don't want to even think about seeing the kind of content most reasonable ActivityPub servers defederate from. There's also often a legal risk if you don't defederate as what constitute legal content depends on a servers location.

look at cases like mastodon.art that defederates from servers constantly and none of the users ever know who or why theyre defederating

If users don't like servers that indiscriminately defederates from others, they are free to go to other servers. This is not a bug, this is a feature.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

I don't really know what they think they can improve, but trying to improve ActivityPub is probably a more sustainable route than just starting a new protocol. Breaking changes and all that.

I also really don't trust them - I suspect they went for their own protocol because really they just want to be the biggest server in their own semi-closed garden.

It's for-profit right? Enshittification is just a matter of time.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

That still requires the user to do something actively to get a moderated feed. Most users don't want to deal with that.

Why Ozempic is so cheap in China (www.semafor.com)

A gray market for Ozempic is booming in China which has the world’s largest obese population of more than 200 million adults, The Wall Street Journal reported. Recent speculation about Chinese and American celebrities’ weight loss has cemented Ozempic’s reputation as a “miracle drug” for obesity in China....

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

Okay I was confused by the headline - ozempic is not "cheap" in China, it's just extremely, super fucking expensive in the US by comparison. European countries have similar or lower prices than the China price.

The headline should not be "Why is it so cheap in China" but rather "Why is it so expensive in the US".

I'd say the documentation problem is even worse in closed source internal stuff at companies. You often only have internal users (ie your colleagues) so instead of properly documenting, often people just tell stuff mouth-to-mouth (tribal knowledge basically).

Also, you rarely gain any points for writing good documentation at jobs because you have to spend time doing it making the coding itself slower. And some people deliberately don't write docs cause they think it'll provide better job security.

Your headaches are likely because of the pressure of the headphones onto the side of your head (clamp force). The headphones might be too small for your head.

Harmless radiation or negligible amounts of magnetism will not cause headaches.

Are there any genuine benefits to AI?

I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something...

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

Much like automated machinery, it could in theory free the workers to do more important, valuable work and leave the menial stuff for the machine/AI. In theory this should make everyone richer as the companies can produce stuff cheaper and so more of the profits can go to worker salaries.

Unfortunately what happens is that the extra productivity doesn't go to the workers, but just let's the owners of the companies take more of the money with fewer expenses. Usually rather firing the human worker rather than giving them a more useful position.

So yea I'm not sure myself tbh

Java has faster developer speed since it’s much less complicated than Rust

[citation needed]

To give some context: Exception-based error handling is insanely complex. The error handling of Rust is much simpler to reason about. Finding out where errors happen is a lot simpler.

The only Java dev I know is an older guy who started university with me at the same time - I was 20, he was 45. He knew Java, I didn't. Java is not the future if you ask me.

"faster to code in"... I would not say so. In my personal experience, Rust can be very fast to code in once you get comfortable with it, since you barely even need to run your code to know that it works. You also save a lot of time via less debugging.

Elon Musk demands another huge payday from Tesla (www.cnn.com)

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns....
