Is the piefed dev a baddie too? Boy am I out of the loop

Halfway through the common I forgot whether we were talking about Lemmy or LG lmao

No

I hate to break it to you but the AppStore has been a cesspool of useless shovelware for over a decade now. There isn’t a whole lot of good at this point to crowd out

There's "skill" associated with all work and therefore all work is skilled work.

You can split hairs all day and night about how anything from pulling nails from a board, to not pooping your pants at work is technically a “skill” according to the strictest dictionary definition, but to put all your pedantry aside for a moment, there is just no way to actually equate unskilled jobs with skilled jobs. They are just two different things, and the heart of it lies with how much skill is required as a floor to do that job.

If I could do your job adequately with no previous experience with a day’s worth of practice, it’s an unskilled job. If you could put 40 hours a week into education, training, and hands on experience in a job and after a full month you’re still not ready to do that job, that’s a skilled job.

EDIT: Is the heart of your issue that fact that you’re a full time board nail remover? Because that would explain where you’re coming from but it wouldn’t make you right. I think the healthiest conclusion to your train of thought is to understand and accept that the skill level of your job is not the be-all-end-all of the societal worth of your job, only the monetary worth, and money isn’t everything. I’ve worked low skill jobs for very little money that were far more meaningful than the highly skilled, well paying jobs I got later in life which contribute less than nothing to society.

That’s awesome if the point of the job is entertainment, but if the work is actually just removing nails from a board, it doesn’t really matter if people stop and gawk, in fact that’d be a detriment as they’d get in the way. And the value difference between the guy removing nails for 20 years and the guy who’s been on the job for an hour is close to nil. As long as the nails come out in a reasonable time, that’s all that matters. And because removing nails from boards is not something that takes any inherent skill, somebody who’s been on the job for an hour will be proficient at the job.

When talking about skilled work vs unskilled work, the definition isn’t “Something you can get better at”, it’s “Something you must get better at to do the job sufficiently”

Are we all just supposed to know what Tesssract is

I wouldn’t call any of those menial tasks skills. Like at that point you might as well list breathing and eating.

A skill is something that any random off the street couldn’t get up to speed on in a day or two. They’re something you have to develop and hone over time to become proficient in.

We can respect and value people in unskilled jobs without playing pretend.

As somebody who has worked many skilled and unskilled jobs, and would not devalue the worth of a job due to it being “unskilled”, there are absolutely unskilled jobs.

So Codeberg had banned vibe codes projects and cryptocurrency projects, and you have a project that is neither vibe coded nor involving cryptocurrency?

Somebody once told me that Star Trek was just “People walking through doors and talking” and I could never argue that point.

Your original comment was likely deleted for being misinformation. Ultimately whether or not funding fascism is worth your protection from fascism is up to you.
