Then deinvest?

What a fucking argument. “Yes, it is a problem, but it is too hard for me to do anything about it, someone else should fix it”

Those are more to punish companies and change their behavior, which I think is what was desired here.

Of course they are a gold mine if you are a lawyer.

That sounds more like what class action lawsuit is supposed to be for.

I wonder if that would hold in court. They could simply use “rent” or “lease” in their ads, but they purposely are trying to mislead to imply permanence.

I feel like the only one, but it feels like nix around the introduction of flakes on Mac has a large showdown, particularly around fetching inputs. Especially nixpkg. It has to think for many minutes before it proceeds.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

There is a saying that if civil engineers would build houses the same way as software engineers build software, the first woodpecker would destroy the whole civilization.

In reality it is not easy to build good software and it can be fragile even with good practices. This approach allows anyone’s code merged without much supervision.

Another thing is (and I even noticed myself doing it, even though normally I think of myself as perfectionist) is that when one contributes a feature to a project that they don’t maintain. They just think only about the feature and the easiest way of implementing it, which isn’t necessarily the best way to implement something long term, adding complexity, makes harder to add more features and much easier to accidentally create bugs.

Third, preventing security vulnerabilities is hard even with good practices, someone could accidentally (or purposely) introduce a security vulnerability.

Hmm… the app is indeed a great sounding proposition.

After I posted it, I found another discussion where it looks like mbin policy is that anyone can merge anyone else’s PR.

As a software developer, that actually sounds really scary.

I guess I missed it. Why there was a need to fork kbin? Are there issues with it?

What about kbin (well it is connected with Lemmy, but technically it’s not Lemmy) and tildes.net?

In more ways than one.

So in the description you said edit, but here you say read (syllabus). If just reading is the requirement, there was a word reader, not sure if it is still available. I also believe once subscription expires, you still will be able to view, just edit.

Also what’s wrong with your school requiring word document and not providing a free license for the software? My college at least provided free license during my class.

As other alternatives I don’t have better than libre office (at the time I was using, libre office didn’t exist and I used OpenOffice, I still was using it, primarily, because of using Linux on my laptop) and submitted my work as PDF and didn’t have problems, but my class were requirements in computer science so I’m sure I wasn’t the only one doing it.

Same, I didn’t know which server suited me so I created three accounts on various Lemmy servers and also one on kbin, but now I’m exclusively using just this account.
