  1. Just polled my software team: without googling or asking, have you heard of #copyfail ? if so, do you know what it is sufficiently to explain it to a colleague?

    Not a single hand. We make embedded #linux devices. ( yes, ours are affected.)

    Call me old fashioned, but when I was a #developer I _kept tabs on shit_. First coffee every morning was pouring over #slashdot and #thedailywtf and a dozen tech specific #blogs and #newsgroups and #channels. Whats new, or blowing up?

  6. @fosstodon #Slashdot has their Mastodon account there.

    Are they sleeping?

  7. "Cal.com Is Going Closed Source Because of AI" #Slashdot

    "I make the code proprietary for AI" what a pathetic excuse.
    Have they read the #agpl?
    Do they know that they are not at all obliged to give the code to pigs and dogs, without asking anyone for anything?
    They could easily put the code in a repo 'watched by human personnel'.

  9. Stopping visiting #CondéNast sites has not been easy. #Slashdot and #ArsTechnica have been two of my most visited sites forever!

    But after learning of their treatment of their union workers, I can't in good conscience give them my attention.

  14. "#ReactOS Celebrates 30 Years - #Slashdot"
    "Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago" i.e. tell me I'm old without telling me I'm old 😅

  15. "Nearly 5 Million Accounts Removed Under #Australia's New #SocialMedia #Ban" - #Slashdot
    Is this right? I don't think so. This don't make young people to grow as responsible adults, it is only a show of power of the government that treats its citizens as a stupid mass to be controlled.

  16. Im Geiste der aktuellen Bestrebungen, sich von ausbeuterischen Großkonzernen frei zu machen (#DID, #DUD), möchte ich auf meinen Artikel hinweisen, wo ich erkläre, weshalb man bei der Auswahl, wo man sich im Internet einbringt, genauer hinschauen soll.

    Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like #Reddit, #HackerNews, #Slashdot, #StackOverflow, ...
    karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid- (habe ich auch damals am #37C3 mal vorgetragen)

    Der Aspekt, der damals noch keine Rolle gespielt hat war, dass die #KI die Beitragsautor:innen ausbeutet, um beispielsweise damit Profit zu machen.

    insofern: überlegt euch, auf welchen Plattformen ihr euer Wissen teilt. Ein eigener #Blog mit RSS/Atom-Feeds wird zusehends spannender.

  21. @CGM Thinking back, there were so many wonderful things in these languages, even languages that for one reason or another essentially went away. My best friend is a #Perl expert (which I used at #Slashdot). I love that Perl has regular expressions built-in to the language; but I don’t want to write Perl anymore. I loved the way #Oberon2 connected functions to types.

  37. Anyone who has been on the fediverse for more than a few years knows how these waves go. This one was the same just so much larger and with a larger bump in plateau. But we also knew this is how the tech press was going to cover the inevitable slump because they only know how to cover Silicon Valley techbro pitches which only understand a false dichotomy of “unicorns”/ “going to the moon” or “dying” for not doing so. The fediverse is not one entity much less company. I’ll take the wins and keep moving forward. I like being the underdog anyway. Best bright side is the VCs chasing the new shiny ball will maybe leave us alone and go back to doing their vulture capitalism play elsewhere. Unfortunately that may be to try to make fetch happen with crypto and NFTs again. #fediverse #TechMedia #slashdot #VultureCapitalism #Twitter #TwitterMigration
