How does organization work out?
We have dozens of workflows for our monorepo CI/CD stuff. GitHub organization with the flat structure is incredibly annoying.
GitLab is a single file?? (Or am I misinformed? )How does that work out?
A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment. Generally with our automation we write a CLI, And GitHub actions is just an execution environment that calls the CLI.
And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run workflows locally with docker!
GitHub Actions mostly.
The rest is usually plumbing and code to support it. The actions are just the automated execution environment.
A knife generally tears, it separates the material in front, causing it to tear ahead of the blade.
I mean that applies to literally everything
Everything that you make an investment in has some measure of liquidity.
I disagree.
I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.
Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.
Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.
This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.
I should have used softer language which I have changed it to be.
Everyone’s experience with neurodiversity is different. If you have a system and that system works for you then that’s awesome. Developing systems that work for your needs can be a significant hurdle.
Yeah, but they you gotta organize it, and garden it, and maintain it. Or it’s just another useless dump of probably useless information. This can be difficult for folks with ADHD and similar.
Not to mention that many tabs are transient, they are not meant to be permanent. Making them permanent means they are out of sight out of mind and will pile up even more
Protip: Installing more ram makes for more convenience on keeping tabs alive forever
There’s a reason I plopped in another 32GB stick
Not a single one of the robot vacuums that I’ve bought in the last 2 years seem to be able to function without internet access.
It’s asinine.
Also they break down so freaking fast. It’s not even funny. Even worse when the part that’s broken is non-replaceable and it’s like a $3 part.
What you say is true.
It’s not a product that you pay for or product that is sold. It is a product that is provided for free. However, that product can no longer be provided for free because Mozilla doesn’t profit off of you using their free product.
Mozilla (the non profit) actually doesn’t aim to profit at all. They aim to support the ongoing development of Firefox and similar projects. Which is currently under risk of not having the necessary funding to pay engineers to build and maintain it.
Mozilla needs more money so that they are not under the risk of sudden collapse if they stop getting money from Daddy Google.
Honestly, it’s a shitty situation to be in. As the grand majority of users don’t understand just how involved browser development is. And those users instead donate to projects that are either forks of Firefox (and directly depend on Mozillas investment) or are (at this stage) toys, like Ladybird.
Which leaves a slim set of choices for the continued funding of the project. All of which it’s core user base hates (Market trend following, new features to see what sticks, AI related integrations, ads, subscription services…etc)
Yet it’s core user base isn’t willing to donate so it’s kind of a self-caused problem.
Side note. IIRC the foundation’s highest paid executive employees make about what a senior engineer at Netflix makes. To put that into perspective.
Firefox is a commercial product. Is it not?
They need to make money so that they can fund hundreds of engineers salaries to keep building it and maintaining web standards operability.
And somehow do this while keeping off with Chrome who has a team 4-5x their size.
Trying to figure out a way to be independent of Google while competing with Google is a tough nut to crack. If they can’t sell it and they can’t get enough donations, then then it comes down to partnerships and advertising.
Then donate!
They are in this situation because they have to keep up with chrome’s capabilities _ velocity with a team that’s 1/4 the size at best.
Essentially they have to produce more with less and they have a funding problem. Almost all of their funding goes into software engineering salaries.
At the risk of not being able to keep up and becoming an obsolete web browser leaving Chrome as the only dominant one there is a shitty position of being the bad guy so that you can get money.
In short, I sympathize with the reasons why they are having to do this even if I greatly dislike them. Reality is complicated.
Wayyyyyyy lesser.
We’re talking Mussolini versus your local grocery store clerk who’s a dick sometimes.
Crime is up across the board if you consider illegal actions by federal agents to also be crimes.
It’s just going unpunished and unrecorded in an official capacity
Development time and user support?
These are two pretty obvious reasons. It takes time and time is a limited resource. Therefore, time should be spent on solving impactful problems. Lemmy account login is extremely low impact, it’s not a bad thing, it’s just not something that improves immich for a large portion of its user base.
Another thing is user support. Since the many instances are self-hosted for the most part, and they will go offline, and they will go away forever in some instances. Users asking for support for this login type and asking for additional features to make up for this baked in instability.
Essentially. Low impact work that may drive a higher volume of support efforts.
It’s the same reason some niche projects stop supporting Linux. Low user volume and disproportionately high “neediness” of those users.
Does it support multi-tenancy?
For instance, being a backup and media manager solution for multiple people in my family hosted on one server.
The same with a few friends that want to get out from under Google’s thumb.
I mean, yeah, probably all of these things.
Such a shame that Wayland did away with accessibility APIs which makes switching a hard stop for those of us with disabilities that rely on software that works with these APIs.
They work with X11, which had consistent APIs, but Wayland leaves it up to each distro to implement their own APIs, if they do at all, fragmenting the ecosystem.
Hell, even mouse acceleration curves are skuffed now, it really sucks.
