Are you saying that or “people” are? You are making very wide assumptions about religious people.

A good manager wouldn’t ask for an excuse.

When I was growing up I had to hide all that or my school and parents would force me to go to therapy and then put me on a random new medication every month.

I was terrified I was going to get institutionalized if I didn’t act as normal as I was capable of. I had multiple friends go through this. One of my friends almost killed himself while being forced to try a new antipsychotic for four weeks.

I hope kids these days feel a lot less pressure than my generation did about all that stuff.

I think technical people should have to socialize supervised until they pass some sort of decency exam.

I’m sure all those single maintainers aren’t complaining about all their unpaid work. Not sure where that opinion even comes from, but you sure seem ready to defend it.

If you think its okay for maintainers to complain about unpaid work, then we just disagree. If your point is that most of them don’t do that, then good, that’s fantastic.

I think the way you frame it is absurd. They aren’t making things for themselves. If they were they wouldnt share it, or if they did they at least wouldnt maintain it or claim ownership over it. If devs open the door to allow outside help in, they really can’t act like they are victims when they have to socialize with other people.

The fact that you focus on compensation really shows what’s important to you anyways, and betrays the whole spirit of FOSS in my opinion.

I’m not opposed to handling bad reports in a cheeky manner, just the part that comes up constantly about them working for free. Its always used as an excuse, when I’d rather people just admit its more fun to take the piss out of someone sometimes and maybe everyone should lighten up a bit.

Again, I’m not sure its even devs themselves making the “work for free” argument themselves, as the FOSS community has many advocates who aren’t devs.

Whats with the whole obessesion on “giving their time for free”? What does money have to do with this? It always comes across as a copout, implying you cant disagree with FOSS devs because they work for free. Just because they aren’t earning money off off of it (aside from donations) doesnt mean they aren’t earning some sort of reward for their work, whether its personal or social.

Besides that, its pretty common to include that type of work on a resume, which is sort of turning that work into future earnings if it helps you get a high paying job.

I appreciate what FOSS devs do, I just hear this victim narrative come up a lot in posts about them. I’m not even sure its FOSS devs posting that type of stuff on here, it might be other people defending them.

If I use a different hard drug, this time will be different!

Same with my dog but hes not interested in the nylon or femurs, probably because he can’t figure out how to tear them apart.

Got them whistler tips baby!

Mr. Glass had a hard life didnt he.

Guess being a decent person is boring.

No you.

Sounds like the propaganda has been effective with you. I literally see no difference between you and a racist maga supporter. Both are simple, impulsive, and violent. None of those things are what make a good american.

Promoting the labeling of large groups of people you have never met as Nazis, and then promoting violence against them, is a fantastic example of propaganda designed to create conflict and distrust amongst a community.

Shouldnt be so hard to see, I’m not sure why lemmy users are so susceptible to this type of manipulation.

:(

What’s a Jackson Hinkle?

Its the same message flipped. Its just as bigoted and divisive. And its not coming from americans either, this is other countries citizens attempting to tear america apart so it stops being a blight on the world. Hard to blame them, but we shouldnt be so naive.

I’m pointing out that non-americans like to point the right at the left calling them violent antifa, while they do the same with the left by calling those on the right Nazis. Then Americans think the posters are also american and get angry at americans for it.

Its simple manipulation, cause my enemies to fight amongst themselves.
