If you’re creating a community to sexualize something then lemmynsfw would be the best place for it imo unless there is already an instance for that topic (furry, anime, etc). It has nothing to do with how popular or commonplace a thing like bikinis are.

Personally one of the things i love about lemmy is that there’s a lot less objectifying women on my /all than reddit because a lot of these ‘bikini’ (and similar) communities are mostly under a single instance which can be defederated.

Well they’re still idiots-- blur can be unblurred without much effort. This isn’t opsec, it’s clownsec

Yeah they’ve been using nets to try to stop drones, though this is the most/ biggest nets I’ve seen attached to a vehicle so far

Ignore community members. But ultimately if your requests or questions aren’t heard then given it is closed source and you’re a paying customer then i would leave a bad review or update an existing review. Obviously if it’s open source then i wouldn’t recommend that route but for closed source they already have your money so the only way to make them care is with reviews.

Tldr i think you’ve been quite reasonable but don’t afraid to leave bad reviews for closed source apps that have your money and who are ignoring you

Smorty rule before and rule now. But do what feels right for you 🏅

At least you didn’t upload a clear shot of your license to lemmy.

Thank you for facilitating a safe place and for the transparency

I had to look up what “digital real estate” is and best i can tell it’s something like real estate in the metaverse, hoarding website domains, or some other bullshit

They released quarterly report and this was already priced in. When no new bombshells were dropped, people started buying.

Huh, i never understood the context of that one. Thanks!

Management doesn’t seem to correlate the RTO rules as the problem though. 🙃

It’s not that management doesn’t correlate. It’s that they planned for RTO to diminish the workforce and then they can start hiring (offshore*) remote workers for a fraction of the cost. At least that’s what my company did

Lol was looking for this comment

He has already hobbled the organizations that oversee his companies/interests/etc. He can say whatever he wants but for all we know this is just a planned exit.

I’ll be glad if he does step down but he has already caused unrepairable damage.

Developers make software because they want to, or because they are paid to.

Consumers can use free software because it fits their needs, or they can pay for software if the free options don’t suffice.

Consumer demand for paid software drives paid software development.

You claim to be an open source developer, cool. There are people who are not developers who can’t contribute code but still want software. Sometimes that software needs to be paid because some free options aren’t “there” yet. Yes they could pay or donate to open source developers, but they can also tell a company they want to pay for linux software which is what this thread is about, in a community that isn’t focused on open source software

She’s the rep that is leading bathroom bans for trans individuals which is the only reason i know who she is. Well, and using a trans slur.

You bring good information about the context, but i assume he’s asking about an actual town hall because some reps are ejecting people for dissenting opinions, or only inviting Republicans. I couldn’t find any information about her recent town halls other than i saw one county request a town hall which she declined so idk what she is or isn’t doing to represent her people but you’ve got this guy and other people asking about town halls from her. Intent aside, I think it’s a fair question and politicians are supposed to handle these situations instead of escalating them. I’m not even a politician but i can be polite to someone for more than 1 minute even if i think they’re full of shit

To play devils advocate: please name me an entire open source list of alternatives for each part of affinity studio/adobe suite.

For bonus points, all programs should be mutually agreed by other people as “the best not Adobe” and for extra extra points, they should all be part of a studio package for ease of installation for creatives

Now if someone made these demands in an open source thread they’d probably get a new asshole ripped open for being entitled with such requirements for free software. Instead, someone is saying they’d pay for affinity Linux software that meets this criteria but youre telling them to use open source which is not helpful.

Don’t get me wrong, open source is great. I do use gimp but i still need alternatives to affinity studio and it would’ve made moving to Linux much easier if i could use affinity on Linux.

This was 100000% reasonable reaction to being asked if there are any more town halls this year.

/s, obviously

Hegseth has a drinking problem, including drinking at work

That’s easy. Your friends had a LAN party 🤓

I prefer it to be hidden and a surpise. It’s more exciting and memorable to not know if they’re dead until you get the victory text.
