Actually thinking about it, my one anecdote is that my interviewer for a job application was Swiss. Didn’t offer any pleasantries to make me feel less nervous just dove straight into the technical task straight away. I didn’t get the job

I mean we do, but blaming them doesn’t make Linux more viable for high end GPU applications.

And the command prompt uses the directory terminology anyway with the dir command.

Then you find out nobody needs you and you get depressed.

Yeah these days literally every website uses JavaScript in some format as modern reactive design is easier to do if you can execute client side code. Blocking JavaScript is a sledgehammer solution to the problem.

I completely forgot I had added that extension (back when Google actually looked ugly on Firefox on Android without it) just disabled and oh my god not only does it not freeze it actually feels usable again (I hate the weird AI suggested tabs at the top in the chromium UI).

I believe this is part of the “don’t make the good the enemy of the perfect” thing. Because we’re not good in all ways it is assumed that everything we do is for evil. You see it even some of the responses to my post - that we’re only providing support because it fuels our military industry profits. And to be honest, that is probably true. But like it’s still doing the right thing, even if it’s for the wrong reasons.

Yeah it’s the one thing putting me off the platform. Like I’d describe myself as pretty hard left, and a pacifist. But Russia is a fascist state performing an unprovoked attack on a neighbouring nation. Just because many NATO nations have right wing problems (and tbh I feel a lot of people on the left haven’t heard the expression “don’t make the good the enemy of the perfect” - shit is bad in the West but it’s nothing compared to life in Russia) doesn’t undo that fact and Ukraine has the right to defend itself and it’s right that we support that.

The fact that some may consider NATO’s support to be hypocritical given the middle East doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Yeah I think I find this problem a lot with most projects with a FOSS community. Lamenting about the lack of large scale take up of a project whilst also getting ideologically gatekeepy about the user experience.

Apps like Sync are a gateway for converting Reddit users over to Lemmy and we should celebrate them.

Yeah also trying to stay FOSS on Android/iOS seems like a lost cause given the OS themselves.
