Hey 👋 I’m Lemann: mark II
I like tech, bicycles, and nature.
Otherwise known as; @lemann@lemmy.one and @lemann@lemmy.world

I personally think some types of openly developed software projects should have a strict non-commercial license: if companies aren’t willing to contribute back to the source IMO they shouldn’t be granted permission to freeload & have volunteers fix issues their paying customers run into
Donations are possibly a bit of an exception here - there are quite a few companies that still do this, albeit growing slimmer by the day.
Another big problem IMO is the subset of users that start attacking maintainers and volunteers because their “free app stopped working” etc. I see that a lot, mostly in the arduino community, but especially egregiously on the Zabbix project - I imagine a lot of those users are companies who aren’t even paying/donating to the project
Yes, this please. Although I don’t have a cargo bike, I load up all 3 sides of my pannier and fill a backpack with my cargo 😅
Standard sh*tty behavior from AdmiralAnti-Adblock. I usually either disable JavaScript, or enter Reader mode
I wish that company would cease to exist tbh
They don’t speak the same language as Lemmy and Mastodon, so can’t really federate with anyone else at the moment
Damn this sounds really impressive, especially the possibilities this could offer in medicine.
Must have been really expensive to develop!
At my current dev role I try to do optimizations to make new system area pages pretty lightweight, but it’s a bit of a struggle as I’m working with devs who have been in the same role for decades. WCAG is not prioritized, and they pull in a ton of JS libraries that usually aren’t even used. A lot of the practices I see in use are from 10 years ago, but slowly tidying up the horror show with each dev product meeting.
Admittedly could be much worse though, at least our pages aren’t 21MB large.
Just checked the whois history on that and wow… purchased for $6000. That is a lot of money for a domain!
It was $500 prior to Reddit’s API changes, looks like another domain parking company purchased it around that time and hiked it up to $6000. Greed is one hell of a drug.
Quite curious about the current owner though, since it’s been registered privately via a proxy company.
That spoiler made me chuckle lol
No idea what this is, but it’s crashing my Lemmy client 🤷♂️
I absolutely love the clarity of this response
Are you on Linux? If so then Gnome Authenticator is a possible alternative, also allows importing & exporting your tokens in formats widely used by other apps
Got to really wonder what’s going on at Mozilla. Between the previous CEO milking it for cash, the purchase of an ad company, and now this?
