I am with you. I am baffled when non sequitur comment got more engagements and someone got downvoted for pointing it out.

Quality is not appreciated here, I suppose.

Yeah, at least give you argument so I can also laugh at myself too.

Anyway, take a look at this article that just came out just earlier, which means that by no chance it’s been referenced when I wtote my earlier comment. And do take note of the BOLD words.

The Core unit is responsible for building the technical foundation behind the company’s flagship products and for protecting users’ online safety, according to Google’s website. Core teams include key technical units from information technology, its Python developer team, technical infrastructure, security foundation, app platforms, core developers, and various engineering roles.

It’s going to be more expensive to hire and train new people when the dumdums in upper management finally figure out the mistakes

Unfortunately that’s not the case. Those who have been laid off are those paid high salaries to build up the foundation. Now that the foundation is already there, they future work won’t be as complex as before and need less training. So why would they still pay the very high salaries? They’ll just get rid of the used-to-be-important programmers and hire the can-be-hired-for-a-lot-less programmers from India. It’s sad, but that’s the reality.

I tried to switch to heliboard using multiple languages but its predictions is simply out of league compared to SwiftKey. Reluctantly, I switched back.

Ok. If that’s so, from the same sentence I can conclude that OP stated that working is a form of manipulation and nobody should work, ever. But, NO. No need to put words into one’s mouth unless it’s specifically written as such.

So if it is my livelihood, I should be able to manipulate people?

Where above has this been mentioned?

Open source can be sold/commercialised. I think you’re confusing between FOSS and open source.

which bug, if you care to share?

After a two and a half hours, the standoff came to an end when a bin was pulled up beside the carriage, giving the animal a platform on which to disembark.

The feline appeared unbothered as it alighted the train, according to station staff, who described it as “swaggering off” into the night as though it had other places to be.

Yeah. You’re a bit direct but I do need a person like you to point things up for something I did wrong unintentionally.

However I wonder if any native speaker don’t realize there’s something wrong with these sentences. Even a non-native like me can see that. Maybe it’s intentionally done; they know it’s not correct but they just want to keep up with the wrong trend.

how is this not xenophobe?

You forgot article 10.

Art. 10. Controller’s legitimate interest can only be grounds for processing personal data for legitimate purposes, based on particular situations, which include but are not limited to:

I – support and promotion of the controller’s activity; and

II – protection of data subject’s regular exercise of her/his rights or provision of services that benefit her/him, subject to her/his legitimate expectations and fundamental rights and freedoms, in accordance with this Law.

§1 When processing is based on the controller’s legitimate interest, only the personal data which are strictly necessary for the intended purpose may be processed.

§2 The controller shall adopt measures to ensure transparency of data processing based on her/his legitimate interests.

§3 The national authority may request of the controller a data protection impact assessment, when processing is based on her/his legitimate interest, being observed commercial and industrial secrecy.

Do you ever step off the ivory towers of idealism to the earth where capitalism controls everything?

You want software engineers to suddenly spontaneously create a socialist society so they don’t need to be paid to survive?

Ah. You’ve just met the Don Quixote of the FOSS World.

When the redditors jump to Lemmy, suddenly they become ads conscious.

How? Could you at provide a credible cause?

The question is, why do they need to show personalized ads?

To increase Click-through rate (CTR). If they don’t personalise, by showing ads blindly, the rate would be significantly lower. Not that I agree personalised ads, but that’s the standard approach in the industry nowadays.

Wikipedia is not a company.

It’s very smooth. I’ve not found lemmy apps this smooth other than Sync. So, I can say, we have a worthy contender.

By your logic, all those open source companies (e.g. linux-based like canonical, redhat etc) shouldn’t even exist. I wonder how they are even going to survive if they can’t get somekind of monetary returns.
