Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?

[–] mark@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago

Yes! Can't believe it's 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this... and don't even get me started on their mobile sites πŸ™„

WOM has and will always be the best form of marketing and you dont need big marketing teams to do it.

The problem is that a company doesnt need that many people to push a product. They can just pay the few they need, well. But instead, they'd just rather hire a shit ton of people and under pay all of them.

This reply reads like we should have to pay for these big unnecessary marketing teams these companies hire, which shouldn't be the case.

Just depends on what works best for each of us. But personally, I agree with you. It's not that I think one company owning a ton of the services is a bad thing in itself. But history has shown us that, when a company starts to dominate a certain market, they tend to start becoming tone-deaf to our interests, because they know we can't (easily) switch and go somewhere else.

Sure but new versions are released pretty often, which essentially means they can change their license whenever they want.

Interesting idea. A couple questions:

How would it work if the open source maintainer is a commercial company?

AFAIK there are no restrictions on when an Open source maintainer can change their license. They can do it even after their work has already been used.

So couldn't a company like, Facebook (since they own open source React) just change their React license to this one and all of sudden start charging everyone for it? πŸ€”

Wouldn't this effectively mark all messages from a user who isn't using JavaScript as spam? πŸ™ƒ

[–] mark@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, because anything that isn't a big new JavaScript framework is just way too complicated

Totally understand! Social media and the constant flow of information in our feeds can be so detrimental to our mental health. If you do consider coming back, RSS feeds may be better for you. They allow you to control your sources, how frequently you see content, and you can even filter things easily. It's just like any normal feed on any website, but you can add different websites and sources to it and it just gives you way more control over your level of consumption online. Here's a good article about how RSS feeds help with our mental health if you're curious. Always put your health before all else, and wishing you all the best!

Nice! I was looking for something like this the other day. Also great that it's available on Flathub.

Who are these people downvoting these posts? πŸ˜†

Announcing my departure from ~~moderation~~?

since you're quitting Lemmy entirely? I'd ask why but I'm sure that's probably a little too personal. If it's related to the moderation of those subs, it may make sense to disclose that, though. 🫑

Yeah git reset --soft then the sha of the last commit you want included in reset.
