Someone tell my boss this, they don’t understand agile. They think we can “start the process” of developing a solution before we’ve understood a single thing about what the customer needs.

And it’s not that we don’t have 100% of the requirements either. It’s basically a we don’t talk to the customer or perform market research to know where we should take the product, so I’m going to make up features at an absurdly abstract level and no you don’t need to meet to talk about it, just start working. “The requirements will come later”, they say. From whom exactly? 🤔

Mike DeWine and his gang of criminals have 0 respect or shred of integrity and ethical province. His old PUCO chairman got indicted today from back in 2019 with the FirstEnergy scandal. Ohio republicans are a fucking scourge.

I thought this screenshot was a known fake

Looks around. You guys are still streaming?

You should always use a VPN, doesn’t matter if the tracker is public or private. And yes, better selection, seeding requirements, and better speeds.

Enough people have already given DNA for ancestry based DNA matches to highly narrow down to most individuals if your DNA isn’t already in a database. It’s already too late.

Hmm. Sounds a lot like something /u/spez said. I wouldn’t expect Twitter to be a good LLM source with its current state anyway…Reddit would be a lot better contextually. The reality is Reddit and Twitter are bleeding cash and they’ve got brain-rotted CEOs that don’t pay their bills or have unrealistic plans and timelines for profitability.

They quietly jot down everyone’s updates, circle the words they don’t understand, attempt to look up what those words mean, then say them in the next stand up completely out of context and incorrectly.

Just found out about the wefwef PWA app which is pretty damn good as an Apollo replacement. Hopefully it can be a native iOS app in the future. Definitely made me ease into Lemmy a lot easier. Hope good things for the future.

You need good trackers and tags to filter to good releases, otherwise the default quality profiles and tags will not do the heavy lifting.

Our solutions architect is like this. Not because we’re working on anything important at the moment, but because we keep pushing back important upgrades further and further, making each day a more challenging operation to keep our rickety-ass distributed monolith alive.

We were supposed to upgrade from Java 8 on Springboot 2.1 to 17 on Springboot 3. That got wiped off the table because the bosses think shoving our inefficient solution into a cloud product is what will attract customers.

This is both draconian and absolutely retarded. Reeks of a venture capitalist who doesn’t know anything about basic biology, psychology, or technology. The lucid dreaming state is not one of intense cognitive performance and reasoning, and even if you were able to do that heavy of a workload while “asleep”, your brain wouldn’t actually be getting any sleep. When you “wake up” you would be absolutely mentally exhausted and have to go back to actual sleep.

JetBrains for everything

I totally understand the outrage and in absolutely no way do I take Sonys side on this, paying is supposed to be ownership. However the terms of service cover them from head to toe, their terms define “buy” as the right to stream the show, not download it forever and have it available in perpetuity. Start voting with your wallets people, this isn’t the first time a company has done this and it is far from the last.

I’ll grab the popcorn! Who wants butter?!

Depends what timelines and what types of users were talking about, in my opinion. Users migrating who have contributed good content and/or moderation should have the patience to get through most of the growing pains. Casual users who show up just to browse and maybe up or downvote a few things don’t add a lot of value up front anyway, so the attrition of those users won’t matter too much in the long run. Those types of users will likely be back in the future once the kinks get worked out, or will be replaced by users of the same type. Patience is the game.

I feel like we’re seeing the inherent flaws of the fediverse here in some aspects. A completely democratic spread or spread in general of communities doesn’t seem like it’s going to work. Real people and infrastructure are behind making sure instances with communities that serve large amounts of user requests stay up and operable. Infrastructure costs people and money, and people with right skills and fundraising skills are not evenly distributed.

If an instance touts itself to be a mega-instance, that’s one thing. Lemmy is still a confusing place to understand if I should create my own community or join one. Some communities and instances have a lot more % active users and moderators than others.

People are also lazy. Hosting your own instance is “easy” until you have a popular community, or handful of popular communities. Unless you treat it like a job, not a whole lot of people are interested in spending time figuring out fundraising and dev ops to ensure their community can deal with future user growth.

Money, talent, and physical infrastructure aren’t evenly and fairly available. So it makes it difficult to produce a federated universe that doesn’t reflect these things.

Can’t expect new users to go down the rabbit hole of trying to understand what instance they should make an account on. All instances will grow over time and we are seeing a lot of unevenness because of factors stated above. Instances will surely balance out as time goes on, so I think whoever is prematurely attacking large instances—whether they are doing so for fediverse axiom related issues or not—is making fundamental mistakes of fediverse theory.

Some Netflix shows that are in 4K have not been showing up in private trackers lately

Use wefwef.app

I can sympathize with a lot of the struggles you’ve endured. I deal with a lot of the same things and I’ve started to look elsewhere because for a company of 15, this place is run like a train wreck.

Just got off my stand up meeting too, we have to cancel todays grooming session because the project manager is on vacation. How will we survive without them repeating buzzwords and nodding like they understand what we’re talking about??? No shared responsibility for this team. It’s back to the waterfall method; and my boss likes throwing rocks off of the cliff. Every man for themself!
