This is literally the point. “Entitled tech workers childishly resign over requests to return to office” is a much, much better headline then “Grindr lays off half its staff”.

They’re doing it on purpose. It’s no longer about some old school mentality of "butts in seats " and micromanaging…these companies have realized this is a way to massively cut costs without the hit in stock price/public opinion.

We need to stop falling for this “they are so old fashioned lol” narrative, because they’re all more than happy to let you believe that.

This drives me nuts. I like Chrome. It’s simple, it’s fast, the extensions I want run on it (for now), and I love the Google Account Sync because I have an Android phone. This greatly pisses off people for whatever reason, despite the fact I’ve never had a bad opinion about Firefox and love what they’re doing too, and I never criticize anyone for choosing Firefox.

As with everything open source communities need nuance and understanding, otherwise they start to feel like cults.

I love Linux. I love the flexibility it gives me and I enjoy tinkering when I feel like it and having something rock solid and reliable when I don’t. I don’t game on the PC, so this works out great for me. However, my use case isn’t everyone else’s, and part of the idea of giving people freedom to use their computer the way they want is accepting that sometimes they want to use their computer in a way that you don’t like.

Maybe that means using a proprietary operating system. Maybe it means using a search engine that you don’t like. But that is what works for them, and sometimes I think the open source people operate on the fallacy of “there’s two types of people, those who use FOSS and those who haven’t found FOSS yet”, and it’s just so obnoxious.

You think people go nuts when you tell them you prefer WIndows? Wait until you see their heads spin when I tell them that while I use Arch Linux, I also use Google Chrome, Telegram, Spotify, and Discord…

This is why I unsubscribed from the Android community. I love Android, I use nothing but Linux at home and really appreciate open source software.

But the FOSS…enthusiasm is starting to border on zealotry. It’s getting really unpleasant.

Ludicrously simple setup, that’s all.

This is not remotely ghetto, this is really well done. Sure the fans are a bit wonky but that is one hell of a machine for the money.

Well done!

I stopped messing with port forwarding and reverse proxies and fail2ban and all the other stuff a long time ago.

Everything is accessible for login only locally, and then I add Tailscale (alternative would be ZeroTier) on top of it. Boom, done. Everything is seamless, I don’t have any random connection attempts clogging up my logging, and I’ve massively reduced my risk surface. Sure I’m not immune; if the app communicates on the internet, it must be regularly patched, and that I do my best to keep up with.

The progression of this app is just insane. Thank you again for all the hard work, it’s just such a delight to use.

Just so I understand, you’re using your compose file to handle updating images? How does that work? I’m using some hacked together recursive shell function I found to update all my images at once.

This is such a wonderful app. The progress is incredible, and the app is so enjoyable to use.

Thank you!

I love this app so damn much. Thank you for continuing to persevere <3

Yes, many times. I’d say 80% of the time, my correction goes through the same day.

Have you ever tried to correct something on Google Maps? I get the desire to want to switch to open alternatives, and I’m all for it, but Google Maps is not exactly hard to get fixed yourself.

Side note, I really feel for you with the duplicate comments, it happens to me constantly and I know it’s not our fault :(

Tailscale completely negated and desire I’ve ever had to run any kind of proxy or VPN. The setup tool all of 30 seconds to make an account, and then like 15-20 seconds per client. I set it up once several months ago and I completely forgot about it…it’s just quietly working in the background, completely transparent to me.

I’ve gotta say I’ve been using Porkbun for a few years now and I’ve never been caught off guard by insane renewal prices.

I use Obtanium to keep Liftoff and Thunder up to date, since the updates come faster than they do from the Play Store :) Very easy to set up…even if you originally installed from the Play Store, you can still use Obtanium to update going forward.

would be nice if your own username was highlighted in the comment section, so you can find your own comments easier

Definitely agree with this!

Do you accept donations? I didn’t see it anywhere in the “Contributing” section. I have very little in the way of programming skill, but I wouldn’t mind donating to help the cause!

I don’t know when this was changed, but thank you very much for updating the colored thread lines to be offset…as someone with a curved screen (thanks Samsung) I could almost never tell whether a comment was first level or second level.

love this app, thank you 🤩

edit: doh it was this update that added it. Sweet :)

Well, it’s not a huge mystery or anything…people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.

From the outside looking in, I can see it being “working for free”, but by that measure wouldn’t any instance of you contributing anything that benefits others to be “working for free”?

Half of the tech support knowledge I have comes from people “working for free”.

I think the sad part about Reddit is that there’s still a lot of people that want to hold on to what they’ve built up, and Reddit is banking on that to force them to change.
