Thanks for your contribution. Gonna hop on a jet to Zambia tomorrow and tell kids with HIV there that it's their fault they were born with the virus and maybe they shouldn't have shared needles.

I'd trust a computer to catch a missing underscore way more than humans.

People need to stop abusing "parasocial." It meant forming a one way "connection" with people who don't even perceive you, like TV hosts on the other side of the screen. This case is by definition not a parasocial relationship because obviously the employer heard him saying things!

"We have found you to be a poor cultural fit in our mission driven high octane growth mindset 10x company. That we reached this conclusion right after you disclosed your medical condition is pure coincidence."

I feel everyone running these companies has stopped caring what the public think. It's all about selling their vision to politicians now. Which is also why they try to tie everything with "national security" — the average joe hears it and thinks about forever wars in the Middle East, the average congressman hears it and approves whatever solution is suggested.

Go stand in your local Walmart parking lot and ask ten people if they know what the climate alliance is or if their state is in it. I'll wire you ten fresh bucks if you find one person who has an idea what that is,

Hello from one of the accounts who mentioned "climate credits." Do you know why I mentioned it? Because I believe climate change is a real issue and the people selling a fake solution to make people feel better about their jet set lifestyle is doing a disservice to our ability to actually fix the issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What about "our hosting bill shot up 500% from bot traffic and went down to the baseline the moment we put our site behind cloudflare or anubis"

Bold to assume that buying emission offsets actually leads to anything tangible being done.

A world without cloudflare does not necessarily mean a world where anyone can access any website. It could very well be a world where anyone can point a DDOS at any website and make it inaccessible to everyone.

Our ability to artificially capture nitrogen and feed it to plants is why we are able to feed 8 billions souls and still suffer less hunger than our ancestors.

You are free to grow your plants however you want on your property. But just keep in mind that "no fertilizer" is a luxury belief not affordable to the rest of humanity.

This assumes the people watching actually cared about stopping crime enough to step in and arrest the offenders.

To echo the topmost comment's point, you can't convince the public that law enforcement actually cared when the elites who flew on the Lolita express to the child rape island are facing zero consequences while urinating on the side of a highway gets you put on a list forever.

Well, the old Euro design avoided making references to specific countries and chose to use generic images of bridges for a reason. You can only put so many faces on your currency. You can't choose any set of faces without people from some countries being left out. And if you leave any country out, you are just handing munition to Eurosceptics in that country to fire at Brussels — "dear citizens, don't you feel the EU is really just about Germany and France? See, the money you spend everyday does not even bear the image of our countrymen!"

You can of course say people should just grow up and not be affected by petty sentimental arguments like this. But keep in mind, the EU is as much an economical and political project as it is a cultural project. You have to win people's hearts. And you do so by not making them feel neglected.

So you think free speech only benefits Trump and his friends?

Have you stopped for a split second and thought about what can happen to YOU, you know, someone who seem to have issues with the current president, if there is no free speech?

Do you really want to give platforms more incentives to push for age verification?

Forgejo was forked from gitea when the later introduced some controversial business strategies. Gitea was forked from Gogs because gogs did not accept outside contributions.

See a trend? Maybe you can be the next.

This is like saying if you stop exercising just because you are driving everywhere then it is a you problem. On an individual level it may be useful advice, but on a societal level we see how it plays out — rising obesity rates and children shut in bedrooms with their screens. It turns out if you stop getting exercise from your daily routines, many people will just not get any exercise at all!

Of course you can make a conscious effort to keep using your brain while you vibe code. But if you have to consciously exercise your brain then it means the people, who are lazy on average, will just not do that and let their thinking deteriorate instead. We already see what happens if we let students "learn with AI." It turned out they would rather just let AI do their homework than become more informed about their course material. I don't see how software engineering will fair any better.

It feels like a sizeable chunk of this website's user base gets triggered when anyone takes any stance at all.

Unless you really need some of its features, self hosting gitlab always felt like an exercise in maximizing hosting bills.

Weird example. Kids don't get to choose what parents they have. Nor can they just get rid of their parents if they don't like them. There is no reason you have to use codeberg when you can choose another platform or host your own.

I'll be more sympathetic to your view if similar rules are imposed by GitHub, given its network effect and many software ecosystems' dependency on GitHub on an infrastructural level. But codeberg is not that.

I'm not personally a fan of this move or the vibe coding rule. That being said, I genuinely wonder how many people complaining about the rule are personally affected. Seems weird to me to complain about a service setting its own rules when you don't engage with it or contribute to it.

> but you are willing to write them off and actively try to harm them for reaching for a tool to try and meet consumer's ever-increasing expectations?

Emotional blackmailing aside, does the consumer ever expect fake images of the food they purchase in the menu?

Reddit is shit tier source for all kinds of information about commercial products. Even subreddits for niche hobbies are full of astroturfed advertising for random online businesses. There is no way the supplement industry isn't doing its own campaign over Reddit and other platforms especially when you consider how large of a market it is.

But sure, keep believing they are on your side.

Until service providers ban them for being insecure — "if you can send your passkey to any other device, you can also send it to a phisher."

This assumes all services let you generate new passkeys with no hassle, which is not true.

> This is much, much simpler than you think it is. Passkeys are just passwords that require a password manager

Cool. So can I write down my passkey on a piece of paper and put it in a safe?

> you'll reset your passkey the same way you reset your password, probably with a "forgot my password" email

Cool. But what if I lose the passkey to my email account?

> and the passkey will be stored there and synchronized to all of your other devices

Cool. Surely backups and synchronization never fails.

> The weird part is that password managers provide no way for you to copy and paste your passkeys

Uh oh. So you are saying passkeys are not like passwords? Last time I checked, every password manager lets me copy and paste my passwords just in case.

> To present a passkey, you have to use a password manager

Uh oh. So you are saying passkeys are not like passwords, like at all? Last time I checked, I can just type in my password using a keyboard on all websites I visit.

> This makes it impossible to copy and paste your passkey to the wrong person

Uh oh. So it means I can't just give my password to a family member sitting in the opposite side of the room? Sorry mom, corporate has decided that you are trying to trick me.

> Major password managers don’t even allow you to export your passkeys to a file that you can read/backup yourself

Uh oh. So is there a registry of Major League Password Managers that are guaranteed to implement Corporate Strength Cybersecurity Measurements? Will I be blocked by services if I happen to have landed on a minor password manager?

How is "Anyone who disagrees with me is a Russian troll" working out for you liberals?

Singapore is also a city state and has a land and housing policy that can't be easily replicated elsewhere. Tell Americans they will be shoved into government built high rises with racial quota and see what happens.

I don't know why people say Houston is unregulated. Minimum parking requirement is a huge factor in any kind of housing development and Houston has one.

0.001% chance of being murdered is 1 in 100000 which is about the murder rate of the UK. That does not seem to stop the UK from wanting more surveillance.

The problem with murder rate is it doesn't matter what the actual numbers are. Just bombard people with bad news 24/7 and they will believe the sky is falling and murderous mobs are roaming the streets.
