This describes the rabbit holes that programmers I work with go down and never come out very well

Doesn’t have to be in the policy to be automated

This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you’re profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I’m pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let’s call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it’s for our side

Not true, I just tried to sign up:

Appears to be optional, if you don’t want to use a phone number.

My experience with contributing to gitlab has actually not been as you describe. Fairly fast responses, obviously targeted releases so I knew when to try and finish any Mr adjustments, bots that provided excellent aid and even ability to ask for subsystem specialist help, when CI shot out confusing errors that appeared unrelated. Frankly, I was impressed. I understand not every feature or bug would go this way, but if you follow their guidelines, get product road map positioning, it works. The amount of commits going in to main are incredible. The number of MRs they handle is equally impressive.

All of that said, I’ve still got issues in gitlab that are seven+ years old, without any movement. But I get it that they have to prioritize and contributions are a different story.

I think it would be a worthwhile research project to find out how many users just click through these, accepting what the website wants you to accept by default. It effectively operates like a EULA for every single website, which produces overall fatigue and lack of care. When you’ve visited 20 sites in one day, you just start being irritated by having to constantly make a decision before you can view any content, and just mash whatever button you need to proceed.

You should travel to Europe sometime and try to use the web

Nope, doesn’t need cell data

This is what I do, works great

You can do all of that with this

Street complete is amazing. I’ve been obsessed with it for a couple years. I never would have made hundreds of OSM submissions without it. Whenever I’m bored, sitting in some place waiting, instead of doom scrolling, I pull out up and see if there is anything I can contribute to the area

In the USA, admins being liable is not really true

Yeah, but the essentials still map like 90% of the time, unless you are using their paid stuff

Ubuntu solutions are Debian solutions
