I'm not sure if I understand. There might not be the "fully" gay person but there is person(s) who is more gay than anyone else, thus making them gayest

CC (not sure about MIT) virtually always requires attribution, but as GitHub Copilot showed right now open-"media" authors have basically no way of enforcing their rights.

repungnant_canary ,

In most jurisdictions you can't give away copyright - that's why CC0 exists. And again most open-source and CC licences require attribution, if you use those licences you have a right to be attributed

I know it has nothing to do with protecting the users, but how exactly is the app supposed to make viewing unreviewed content safer?

DaVinci provides Linux binaries

Data caps are simply false advertising - if your infrastructure can only handle X Tb/s then sell lower client speeds or implement some clever QoS.

There are plenty of users for whom 1.5TB is quite or very restrictive - multi member households, video/photo editors working with raw data, scientists working with raw data, flatpak users with Nvidia GPU or people that selfhost their data or do frequent backups etc.

With the popularity of WFH and our dependence on online services the internet is virtually as vital as water or electricity, and you wouldn't want to be restricted to having no electricity until the end of the month just because you used the angle grinder for a few afternoons.

Don't know for birds but apparently they can win a fight with snake because they have better reaction time. So maybe something similar is contributing here too

Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor's office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it's always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...

They try to spend less so aggressively that they end up actually spending more

repungnant_canary ,

I hope you don't have any long term consequences of that

repungnant_canary ,

Hmmm, since when handwriting is called cursive?

repungnant_canary ,

How strong that cloth and attachment would need to be to survive gusts from a storm that's capable of generating such big hail?

repungnant_canary ,

That looks... surprisingly promising

Many websites prevent providing aliased Gmail address, how you're planning to address that issue?

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database (lemmy.world)

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application....

But why the Docker :(((

repungnant_canary ,

"Own brands" which are theoretically lower quality accidentally executed this idea much better - to cut costs they use less material for the "strings" which allows the cap to be placed not so close to the bottle

repungnant_canary ,

And if you have two phone numbers which you want to use for WhatsApp then you need to clone the damn app because they can't even make such basic functionality

repungnant_canary ,

OpenWRT users beg to differ... kinda. 32mb is now very low and barely sufficient, but not that long ago it was just enough to run Linux

repungnant_canary ,

Wow, that's a great analysis of this event! From that I would say that PopOS devs could fix more than just the "do as I say" part.

Btw, are you a pilot/atc or do you happen to be an investigator?

repungnant_canary ,

Damn, that was a good read. I have no doubt your students are trained very well

repungnant_canary ,

Cute or not, it's wasting money and time that could be spent on actually improving the app. YouTube constantly pushes more ads more aggressively saying they don't make profit, while wasting money in such absurd way

There are actually examples of quite big companies without CEO at all.

But it really depends on what type of company we're talking about. In small and medium companies usually (not always unfortunately) CEOs do a terrific job and, depending on the company's financial condition, might even earn less then some of their employees while bearing a huge responsibility (financial and moral).

Even in small companies it is sometimes a case that managers do all the work and the CEO is eating profits - there are stories where employees actually prefer the boss to not show up in the office because they only mess everything up.

Yet if we're talking about big and huge companies then CEO existence is much harder to defend. If CEO disappeared then by pure inertia the company would work for at least months. Then there's the Peter Principle and numerous studies how MBAs are actually rather bad boses, in which case if the company keeps existing or even growing then someone else is doing all the management.

And then, you can't convince me that someone like Musk, who spends days on posting hateful tweets and attending meetings promoting reproduction, does a meaningful job at all.

What companies actually need is some decision making body. And that body doesn't have to be a rich white asshole, but can be for example board representing (proportionally) all the groups in the company, which then can use deliberative democracy to make decisions. Virtually any other solution is better than old rich white sexists CEO.

Because Apple and Android are a duopoly and virtually a global one. And you throw all the pro-consumer laws at monopolies and duopolies, to strip them of any leverage they might have over consumers

As I still see that lemmy.world didn't block Zuck, it seems that it's time to change instance
