Store managed delivery/pickup seems to be growing since the pandemic. I think they discovered that the reduced theft and the ability to sell imperfect produce more than covers the cost of the system.

Shockingly, the app used to be worse. Of course, now today their ad backend is down so the app won’t work at all.

You’re not going to have voting under a republican, and that’s what you get if you don’t vote democrat.

This is a fundamental flaw with plurality voting. Fix that and we can talk about third parties.

Nah, the lead Lemmy developers and admins of Lemmy.ml are unapologetic communists and China supporters.

So what you are saying is that Donald J Trump is going to come to the rescue of the oppressed Muslim people of Palestine? The same Trump whose Middle East peace plan was formulated by his Jewish son-in-law and basically said “give Israel what they want, and everything will be fine”?

Gotcha.

“Hey dad, the WiFi in my dorm room keeps cutting out”

“Have you gotten your Ethernet hooked up yet?”

“Hey dad, when I try to stream TV, it keeps buffering”

“Have you gotten your Ethernet hooked up yet?”

Someday they’ll get it.

I foresee one or both platforms implementing a bridge api, if they don’t outright switch to the other’s protocol.

The important part is normalizing federated social networks.

Never said devs shouldn’t care about money. If you aren’t having fun maintaining some code, stop. If it is commercially interesting, you will probably be contacted. Charge for bug bounties. Prioritize features based on compensation. Start a foundation. There are lots of business models for OSS, the author of this article talks about how this problem is already solved - just not for him.

OSS itself is not a business model. OSS is provably sustainable. Dude just wants it handed to him.

There are plenty of people who get paid to write open source software. The internet simply wouldn’t exist without OSS:

  • Linux/Android
  • Apache/Nginx
  • MySQL/Postgres
  • gcc/llvm

And that’s just scratching the surface.

That’s how they pay for Android. Just because you don’t pay a royalty doesn’t mean the software is free. (Even if it is libre)

Say you don’t understand the fediverse without saying you don’t understand the fediverse.

By these standards:

  • The web is unsafe by default
  • Email is unsafe by default

In all three cases, your safety is determined by the home you choose, and who/what you choose to interact with.
