I wish we’d see more of this. In my opinion, once a company has a market cap over a certain amount, they should not be eligible for tax breaks. Taxing them literally hurts nobody!

This should be illegal.

You know it. They’ll burn everything to the ground before they let Copilot go.

I agree. When I read their post, I thought good for them. It seems fair and they did a good job explaining the reasoning.

Honestly? It’s highly individualized.

The best one is probably one that you already use and care about, and want to improve.

Choosing some random project will not really provide motivation in learning the code base, figuring out how to implement a change, etc.

😂 I haven’t heard that phrase in a southern minute.

That would be neat. It would also be really nice to have some kind of community notes section where you can info on parking, best times to go, etc. Especially for tourist destinations.

I do miss a good forum. That used to be my favorite thing about the internet.

Honestly? Fake it till you make it. Has worked for me, especially if imposter syndrome kicks in. That’s what most people are doing anyway, they just don’t think about it.

Owls are so cool

That’s the feature I want most as well

I do think that would be neat but wonder how payments might be integrated from a technical perspective. I also wonder if there are any regulations that would get in the way or if it would even apply to something like that.

Edit: also, if people buy something then the instance goes offline. That would be another issue to figure out.

That would be neat. Able to get the info you want without the constant ads or emails from Nextdoor.

Yeah… why are people cheering on the loss of their freedom?

Comparison of the theft of joy.

I’ve never heard it stated that way before but I believe it to be true.

Ahh. That makes sense. I forgot about that. That’s when I basically stopped using Reddit but I wasn’t aware of this alternative at the time.

What happened 3 years ago? Why is it smaller now?

Vivaldi has been a good middle ground for me. Privacy respecting but still has features I want. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.

Yeah. Chromium has something like > 30 million lines of code. Browsers these days are like mini operating systems in a way.

Agreed. Explaining the risks has always worked better for me than explaining the benefits. Most companies only care about their bottom line.
