  • A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment. Generally with our automation we write a CLI, And GitHub actions is just an execution environment that calls the CLI.

    And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run workflows locally with docker!



  • We’re not pretending, this is an asinine view.

    Two things can be true at once. It’s surprising how difficult a concept this is to grasp.

    Social media accelerated this, it provides the vehicle in which to make culture wars the only thing at the front of people’s minds. It accelerated division and hate, as these improve platform attention.

    Let’s not even talk about the death of critical thinking which just allows this to happen to greater effect.

    Rising wealth inequality because a side effect of us not fighting a class war which is a side effect of us being completely focused on culture wars which is a side effect of social media.

    There’s an entire chain here and social media underpins most of it’s acceleration


  • I disagree.

    I don’t necessarily know about new music, artists, or genres. I want to get a mixture of stuff I haven’t encountered.

    Something like 60% of the music I listen to in a given month I had never heard of 12 months prior. I’ve found so much music that I vibe with by way of generated playlists.

    Discovering something new that scratches my music itch is in itself a pleasure for me, and I can go back to it at a later date, like everything else.

    This doesn’t mean I support Spotify, but it does mean I disagree with your stance.





  • Development time and user support?

    These are two pretty obvious reasons. It takes time and time is a limited resource. Therefore, time should be spent on solving impactful problems. Lemmy account login is extremely low impact, it’s not a bad thing, it’s just not something that improves immich for a large portion of its user base.

    Another thing is user support. Since the many instances are self-hosted for the most part, and they will go offline, and they will go away forever in some instances. Users asking for support for this login type and asking for additional features to make up for this baked in instability.

    Essentially. Low impact work that may drive a higher volume of support efforts.

    It’s the same reason some niche projects stop supporting Linux. Low user volume and disproportionately high “neediness” of those users.




  • 40… Is not old my friend. You do realize millennials are entering 40 right? The problem are the old fucks (60-80) that are stuck in their political power ways.

    Ya know, a generation that largely supports everything you’re supporting.

    30-60 is a great age range for both maturity, ability to navigate the landscape, and generationally relevant. It’s weird here because you’re preaching to the choir while also shitting on the choir…?

    Side note: You seem to be assigning meaning to my words that I’m not providing. I’m not in support of old political figures who are stuck in their ways and refuse to drop power because of their corruption. I’m in support of getting people into these positions that can effectively enact change. And I believe the people that can effectively enact change are those that are able to navigate the landscape and bridge the gap that we currently have.

    We both want the same thing but the difference seems to be rational versus (ironically) emotions.



  • You’re also completely ignoring politics experience, Which is a real world requirement in order to actually get shit done. (Let’s not even talk about emotional maturity and making decisions purely on emotion instead of rationale)

    If you are not mature enough to learn how to work well with others then you’re not going to get anything done because you require the contributions, help and cooperation of people you may disagree with in order to move your agenda forward. Especially on a world stage.

    I’m not talking about old ass people in their 70s here. I’m talking about people 30-60. Who should be the ones in office in my opinion.

    Older and younger than that and effectiveness seems to drop off pretty quickly.


  • Can’t wait to see you let your household be ran by a toddler if age means nothing to you.

    You might think that’s an extreme example, but it highlights the same problem. Until you are fully mature (20-25) you tend to lack in areas that mature humans are capable. That’s the bar, that’s where the floor starts. Some people get there earlier than others. Some people get there later than others.

    After that point comes tempering and experience. When your decisions can affect millions of other people, it’s expected that you have the experience, maturity and temperament to make good rational decisions without being overtaken by your emotions.

    Younger people are more likely to be overtaken by their emotions and make irrational decisions. Maturity and experience is an expectation.

    You’re not going to make a 15-year a UN secretary, or even a 22 year old, it doesn’t mean this person can’t start working their way there and gaining experience with that in mind.






  • What profit incentive is there for bots that don’t interact? (There are edge cases, scrapers and such, but that’s a minute amount of traffic for large services)

    Bots in this context are a tool for manipulating opinions and facts for political gain, marketing, personal benefit, or some other social or economic benefit.

    They cost money to operate and maintain, and generally need a clear benefit to be used at scale.


    That said, bots have only gotten complex in their language capabilities over the last couple years.

    My point still stands regardless, use pre -LLM numbers if you want, it doesn’t necessarily change the picture all that much.
