  • Maybe I’m misunderstanding… but are you saying GitHub, the corporate entity acquired by Microsoft for 7.8 billion dollars 6 years ago, is a champion of the free and open software movement and that needs some rando on the Internet to stand up for it?

    People have lived through many cycles of Microsoft doing this shit. They don’t deserve defending.






  • This entire thread is just a bunch of old nerds screaming at the tide.

    Hate stuff all you want. It isn’t going to change anything. “People should do this or that”. It must be exhausting to be so angry at something but do nothing about it.

    Imagine using all this energy to really understand while people use Discord and try to make something better.

    OR join these projects you apparently like and volunteer to do the extra work to publisher useful documentation. Unless of course you never intend to be useful to FLOSS and just want everyone else to do the work for you.

    OR you can continue to complain and get nowhere while completely alienating an entire generation of developers. They’ll eventually forget you exist while they’re busy making the future happen.

    I’m sure the folks that are doing the work aren’t hanging out on Lemmy complaining about kids these days.




  • It’ll make your head explode to find out that giving someone a B+ in that situation is more likely to lead to an A the next… positive encouragement leads to positive feeling about the task. It’s bullshit to think some kid is gonna think “oh I did bad I’m gonna do more of this to get better.”. it’s really easy to see how “oh I got this, I’m going to do more of it”
