That’s a very expensive Nazi bar.

Best to fork just in case? Ideally to Codeberg.

Yes. You corrected a dyslexic. Well done.

That is more down to poor marketing. Here on Lemmy or reddit there are big open source communities where you can extol the values of it.

I never went with a software project from random scrolling. It has no value to me if it doesn’t meet a need I have right now.

No contributor is going to be good that doesn’t use it.

Why would it be? Software is good based on it’s use and recommendations from real folk, not *s. Many project not on github

That is quite a mixed bag response. Leaves me between they won’t do nothing, and they might do something.

I wouldn’t recommend staying with a company for 17 years. That’s for sure. Best way to get stuck in a company specific niche skill that is not transferable. For the reasons stated you got to keep yourself positioned well skills wise and relevant so you can jump into any role you need at any time.

Integrity is not for the company. It’s doing things the way you think they should be done and earn your own respect.

I would say all companies don’t replace with cheaper. Many do. Especially the shitty ones. It’s quite easy to avoid those like the plague. Many did, and learnt the hard way, many have staff that have seen failed outsourcing and are in a position to influence that.

Soloing knowledge doesn’t keep you safe though as the penny pinching companies will remove anyway and clean up later regardless. It does not keep you safe. It’s a false sense of security. Complacency is a death sentence in software development.

Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.

You are paid for your skills and your time. If you’re confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn’t have to be worried.

I’m not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.

Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.

Of course Jared didn’t document anything and made themselves a bus factor. Real success is when Jared makes themself replaceable because hiding detail and making yourself critical is the best way to take a site down when you’re on holiday and prevent other team members stepping in and taking ownership.

Isn’t this just the tech version of cuckooing?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing

Illegally using someone’s property to make profit from dodgy business.

Blender or GIMP? Idk.

Garbage in, garbage out. Keep feeding it shit data, expect shit answers.

In agile development. You do a little, release. Otherwise it is too big and may never be done. The fact they committed resources to improve this is a positive. The hope is they build on it and add more options.

However, if they get trashed for trying, they and many other companies may not try. Why spend money to get a bad reputation when the spending nothing creates less I’ll will to the company. That is ultimately the decision Product Owners and Designers will weigh up.

I think for progress, the best approach is maybe “positive first step but more options are needed for non-bonary for this to really make players feel comfortable”.

From a technical perspective, separating pronoun hard coding from the models gives more scope to give more options in the future, however, as someone mentioned, there is a lot of art work needed on assets and animations so the new shapes function the same in all cases.

First one is about Germany, not UK. Secondly, you do realise wikipedia is unreliable, prone to edit wars and subject to those that have the most passion for a topic (like free speech “absolutists”/racists). It’s why academia tell you its a poor reference and to not bother.

Can you find a UK example that you think overstepped the line?

I’m in the UK, critical of Israel and not been arrested yet…

It’s always interesting seeing distrorted American views of the UK.

No you cannot. Assuming you’re not from the UK.

Stirring up racial hatred and geeing people up to burn down hotels holding refugees is not free speech.

Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.

It’s unfortunate they couldn’t use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

Fair point. I thought you were implying the opposite.

I read it as implying Labour is anti-free speech for clamping down on racist hate speech and mob mentality.

Can you explain this point?
