Meh if you have $200k+ in sales last year then you have enough money to pay the most important vendor of your product

Very disappointing that this happened in a mostly developed nation.

I do agree that it’s bullshit to pressure actors into signing away their likeness and knew this was a main feature, but SAG is joining the wave that WAG started and I don’t support increasing their residuals. WAG and SAG are basically the cool kids club of landed gentry. I believe people should be able to form unions to pursue self interests, but that doesn’t mean I blindly support every union strike.

Regarding union strikes, I personally don’t get why sanitation workers don’t strike to get a lot more money, they certainly deserve it.

Personally I think actors and writers are overpaid, but I support their right to strike. I also support the studios avoiding the strike by avoiding all SAG actors and other guilds because like I don’t think they’re that much better than non-union members

Wikipedia Foundation actually spends more money giving grants to other projects/orgs than they spend on hosting costs, and that’s still like 20% of their budget!! It’s so crazy

This was an exploit in lemmy software and affected multiple instances though

Yup that’s why I still buy clothes from sweatshops with kids working in them.

In all seriousness you’re right, but I believe people have a much lower tolerance than they think they do, but they just avoid thinking about it

Cows don’t photosynthesize they eat a shit ton of plants to make a tiny amount of meat so if you really care about plants you would eat the plants directly and skip the middlemen that waste 90% of the plant matter

MrBeast explained in a podcast that the subscription is so only other youtubers bother to see it, he doesn’t want to bore casual followes with the stats he posts.

Have you considered hiring a project manager? I think having someone keep track of higher level goals and handle the coordination with other key stakeholders would really let you focus on finishing the right epics which would really knock your KPIs out of the park

Good bot

Yes but my point is that 6 pages of PRs were created within 10 days of the repo being launched which was accomplished by chucking a lot of bodies at the project.

Oh good to know!

They probably could use more manpower to some extent but we’re all forgetting The Mythical Man-Month; just chucking more bodies at a software project doesn’t necessarily speed it up any more than nine women can have a baby in one month.

Sure, but look at the rapid progress llama.cpp made in the past 3 months, especially in the 1-2 weeks after its launch

btw, my instance just linked to this community so I don’t see your comment (which is why this is a root level comment)

Lemmy in the last few days is absolutely tiny compared to a site like reddit, and already instances are struggling to cope.

While this is true, 5 days ago lemmy.ml, the biggest instance, was on a 67 EUR server which is very small. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36270094

Posts like this: https://lemm.ee/post/58472 suggest it is a problem

This is a scaling problem (having more users means you need more mods) but I disagree with how they handled it and it isn’t a money related thing. My thoughts on this are in an older post when this was first announced https://partizle.com/comment/64178

Why should a handful of “lucky” servers have to pay all the hosting costs?

My initial idea is to use the something awful model of paying a one time fee to register an acount. The problem is that people would just sign up on another instance that doesn’t charge a fee but still add load to the lucky instance. Another approach could be to participate in communities on one of those lucky servers then you need to pay a one time fee to that server (comments would need to be removed by a bot if they’re not made by an approved user). I’m not saying that’s perfect, but it’s an idea. Adsense is another idea.

Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.

DJI is a chinese company and it is easier for them to just publish an apk rather than submit to all app stores

Maybe search results should link to archives rather than live urls
