  • The problem is the people who use the library don’t have access to the money. They’re just some dev trying to build something and your library is one of their 500 dependencies. The idea of needing to pay for a license means they have to stop building and get other people involved who may or may not approve, which may not be an option if they have a deadline. They will probably just try to find some work around to avoid this.

    I wonder if a better approach is to move hundreds of libraries into some kind of joint bundle (a humble bundle). Let companies buy access to them all with one procurement, and also you’ll have more negotiating power and pull if you have a bigger group.





  • There they are!

    You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here. Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza? Would that even be a conversation right now? How about turning Gaza into a real estate opportunity for the sitting president?

    I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are. All of you made a choice based on principles that you don’t have the political power to support, and the result is one that is far worse for the actual people affected. That makes the choice morally inferior. And, it’s a shame to see what is happening to the people impacted by it.

















  • Mods on c/politicalmemes took down a post I made saying that it was not a meme (spam was what they called it, it was not spam). When I pointed out that very few of the posts in that community are memes, they banned me.

    Anyway, be careful out there.

    Edit: “report abuse” was the reason they gave for banning me. But, it was me reporting a few things that were not memes, like was done to my post. Rather than evaluating whether the reported posts were memes or not, they went on a power trip. Anyway, no idea why the mods of c/politicalmemes follow me around Lemmy. I didn’t even tag them here, and they show up. Powertripping, I guess. But, my point stands, don’t report things for not being memes, only the mod decides what’s a meme, even if they do a poor job at it. And, if you draw attention to that, they’ll ban you and stalk you on Lemmy.
