Well, he doesn’t need a many as he used to…

My Gen Z son says these are Alphas and he doesn’t want to be associated with them.

I suppose that depends on your point of view.

Turning office space into living space is often mentioned in discussions like this. It should be noted that converting the space is not as easy as it seems. In particular, moving the plumbing infrastructure to support individual bathrooms and kitchens is extremely challenging and it makes some projects impracticable.

You don’t think that Lemmy and Reddit can both fail to meet expectations?

This is clearly by design.

I mean, if you’re being invaded, doesn’t anything you do to fight back count as “defense”?

I know how everyone just wants to pipe up and say, “well it didn’t crush me hur hur”, but I actually watched the video. It’s a good record of what went down. I wish it would’ve mentioned Reddit alternatives, but it’s still solid work.

And to anyone who still maintains that the protest has fatally wounded Reddit, look, I’m on your side but Reddit is still the 800 lb gorilla of link aggregation, and most folks still don’t get why they should care about API pricing.

Depending on who you talk to, it actually might. Even this phrase, a sensible request for freedom on its face, is absolutely a call for the dissolution of Israel to some who use it. Finding an innocent in the conflict, outside of a maternity ward, is mighty challenging.

Of course, he may not realize that this dries up one of the largest sources of the Unity developers the clients he does care about uses.

I do, too, but it’s out of duty and I’ll stop when other people pick up the slack.

significantly worse than other cities like Atlanta Philly and Baltimore

Wait. Atlanta resident here. There are cities worse than us?

LinkedIn is feeling like abandonware.

The whiny bitches to whom you refer clearly do not appreciate your analysis.

It’s lost its association with chickens decades ago. Not even the recipients of the insult are generally aware of its origins.

It was “Stable”, but money losing. Now it’s unstable but money losing.

Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it’s happening faster in China, and they’re less developed to start with.

When was this? When did people who need to devote their life to a craft long enough to get good at not want, even need, to be paid for it? There have always been hobbyists, and maybe that’s all you want, but there has never been a time when musicians would not have preferred to be supported by their passion, rather than the job they had to do in order to keep eating.

So, because they don’t pay artists enough, you shouldn’t pay them at all?

That’s an interesting principled stance. How should musicians provide for their familes?
