Adding another comment to address this PS.:

There are many volunteers to develop features or even fix bugs, but they sorely lack management roles and work on important but niche features (unused by most volunteers) like accessibility for blind people.

Those volunteers are still volunteers inside a capitalistic system that have to get by somehow. Of course they're going to spend their extremely limited free time on the things that benefit them directly (features they need, bugs that affect them). The incentive structure is set up against them. That would be very different if they didn't have the pressure of keeping afloat in spite of their volunteer work.

You seem to be under the impression that everything that's being "produced" right now is of actual value and must be kept up or replaced under a non-capitalistic system. I'd argue the contrary. There is so much braindead wasted labor being performed and energy wasted in the current system that would be completely freed up if our main economic goal were to change from "growth and competition at all cost" to "ensure a good life for everyone". At the same time, our ever increasing ability to automate work and solar energy becoming incredibly cheap means that less and less of the necessary production actually requires human labor.

Add to that that most people like to have community and purpose, and would be happy to give back to a society that guarantees their wellbeing for rather modest reward, and I really don't think finding enough people to do the actually necessary work would be a big issue at all. Kids that stock up their pocket money by mowing lawns are basically already making that exact deal.

Well, then make those jobs come with benefits proportional to their unattractiveness

There are non-americans on here, you know

Wellllll in most driving games you accelerate and brake with the triggers though, and the left stick does nothing on the vertical axis :P

Okay for real though, I'm not here to tell anyone how to game. Use whatever feels right for you, and having the option to invert stick axes is a great inclusivity feature I'd never argue against! I just have a little too much fun arguing with people trying to rationalize something that really just doesn't need to be rationalized to be valid.

If you see the stick as the top of your character's head, you'd have to twist it to look left or right. Tilting it would just rotate the image you see under that mental model

[–] hikaru755@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (6 children)

if you lean forward you look down - why would controls be any different?

By that logic, tilting the stick to the left should either make you look to the right, or just rotate the view without actually changing the direction you're looking in

YYYYMMDDHHmm is probably one of the most normal date-time formats

No, it absolutely isn't outside the tech sphere

Idk know what editor you're using, but it worked perfectly fine out of the box with IntelliJ. Nothing compared to the hassle of setting up a proper Eslint setup for typescript, honestly.

And I'm not trying to defend python here, I don't touch that language except under duress, and I do prefer C-style code blocks as well. But this is kind of a pointless argument.

Watching Total Forgiveness on dropout right now, this is very apropos lol

there is a direct correlation between the size of the campaign and the number of monitors at the bottom.

From my limited experience, it's the size/amount of monitors at the top that correlates with company size, not at the bottom. At my 5-person software company, almost everyone works with multiple screens, except one of the three founders who still works mainly on a laptop display at least

How do you have your shortcuts set up for this? And if you don't mind me asking, what desktop environment / window manager are you using?

 

The Brickfilming community has taken it upon themselves to recreate the entire Lego Movie, scene for scene, in stop motion, in celebration of the movie's ten year anniversary! Last Wednesday, the project was officially announced and a first trailer released, and we're extremely proud of what we've already achieved so far. It's an ambitious project, but we have lots of fantastically skilled people on it, and it's shaping up nicely :)
