Wait what’s wrong with MariaDB?

It’s FOSS, it’s compatible with MySQL libraries.

tbf IAM is the bastard child of many cloud providers.

It exists to provide CISOs and BROs a level of security that no one person has access to their infrastructure. So if a company decides that system A should no longer have access to system B, they can do that quickly.

IAM is so complex now that it’s a field all in itself.

It’s safe to assume anything redacted is Trump. They have the burden of proof to say it’s not.

I was on a non profit board where the founder realized he wasn’t the right person for the job after 20 years of growing the org. It finally got to a point that he felt like the growth was beyond what he ever imagined or wanted.

He was, on every metric, very successful. He grew the org from nothing, got millions of dollars in donations, amassed a huge base, and no one would have thought different if he just kept going.

I remember sitting down with him one-on-one and asked him why. He thought about it for a minute and said, “It’s time for someone to make it even better.”

Looking back, I think I see the exhaustion. To constantly innovate, to push people forward, to push the org, the mission…it was all one person at a time. He reached a point in both age and in life that it just wasn’t something he could keep doing.

He loved the mission so much he knew it deserved better.

If that isn’t leadership, I don’t know what is.

Trump 1. When I saw very close friends who voted for Trump, not because of who he was but the fact that abortion would be over turned.

That’s when I knew that these people would vote in Satan himself if he promised to get rid of abortions.

It took almost 2-3 to get from “I’m not voting for Trump” to progressive.

I sat in the middle for a while as a conservative leaning independent but still caring about social issues. But once I understood that conservatism was really about oppression, I hard lefted to be a progressive.

The point is that it’s not disabled now. They should degoogle themselves.

Or do a PWA so that it can run as a browser app

So…when should we see those apps on FDroid?

The only way to give her a chance is if she commits, right now, to vote to impeach Trump. If she does this, then I’ll say she’s serious.

I say this as a once very strong and vocal conservative who has now turned full 180-almost anarchist progressive.

What I can’t stand is when platforms don’t take no for an answer.

Every fucking visit to Dropbox: “Upgrade to Standard!”

Every check out on Amazon: "Upgrade to Prime!

Every time I open Walmart: “Upgrade to Walmart+”

I fucking can’t stand it.

At least they are admitting that they have lost.

I want to agree with you but I doubt it. LinkedIn’s value is generated by corporations, not it’s users. So long as companies use it to vet people, it will be used.

It’s the same reason why we still have applications. Recruiters hate them because they have to sort through hundreds of applications. Candidates hate them because they spend precious time updating their resume for the job post only to get buried under a bunch of AI slop.

The process exists because corporations want it.

Tell me you don’t understand how GPL works without telling me how GPL works.

GPL has been battle tested in court and has the most precedence than any other license. Hell I’d even include proprietary licenses.

Core Android and ChromeOS are FOSS because they have to be. But because Linus Torvalds didn’t want to move Linux to GPL3, we have proprietary bootloaders with free software.

THAT’S how we have corporations profiting from GPL. Not because GPL allows anyone to use it.

sigh yes

If you’re in any sort of white collar job, not having a LinkedIn profile that is decent will make employers (specifically HR people) think you are a bot.

It’s terrible. But you will have a much harder time getting a job without it.

Wait…WHAT?!

I don’t want to fact check this. Is this true? Is this what all the memes were about yesterday?!

I’d trust a Lemmy source more than a reddit source.

But that’s just me.

I’m sorry but I have to ask: what is the point of a 50 year mortgage?

It sounds like a dumb way to give banks even more interest.

“Do Not Split”

Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.

If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.

It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.

Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.

You say that…like that changes anything.

He’s already declared martial law by sending in military units to cities. He’s already done it.

What the fuck do we have to lose?

Oh I remember this one. And it was 🤌

Study after study has been done on every election looking for people who publicly say they are moving if their party lost. They found consistently that the number of people who follow through are in the single digits.

Trump famously said he was going to leave the US when he lost to Biden. We all begged him to go but nope.

MAGAs have repeatedly said they are going to move to Russia or Argentina or other conservative places only to realize they wouldn’t be in the ruling class.
