honestly I don't think they're going on a witch hunt here, I think they're putting this in their term of use so that they can take projects down if some issue arises...

the meme is that, for some weird reason, Aliexpress is constantly pushing this product to the top of its homepage

not answering you, but for people having doubts after reading your reply: please translate it yourself because its not just that, there's 1984 stuff like this inside:

Parents or other guardians of minors shall, in accordance with the law, fulfill their responsibilities for family education, educate and guide minors to love the Communist Party of China

I think the problem is that all the global "fat" supply has gone into palm oil since it's low cost and tastes nice, so the scale of it's production make the problem worse...

so even if the alternatives are worse on paper, splitting the production between them could mitigate the damage maybe?

btw I found this quite comprehensive study

If you read the article ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3719027.3765062 ) they are testing this in an EXTREMELY controlled enviroment and directed subjects... I have my doubts that this could provide any insight on whether this is even feaseble for public surveillance, let alone effective...

are they actually loosing any sensible userbase across all windows versions though? from statcounter I fail to see that, what stats do you guy usually look up too?

fyi I live in one of those places and giving "discounts for cash" is illegal (It does happen anyway) and "nah, we won't take CC at all" is also illegal... so yeah...

you just made me realize that Fossify icon color can be changed

But I’m also scared. Not of the tech itself, but of what happens when capitalists decide to fully automate labor.

Dont worry that's not gonna happen. A collegue of mine use llms regularly for code reviews, but you have to put in the work to understand whether what they say makes sense and filter out false positives which are not occasional.

Thanks, that's actually interesting. I've found making #5 work with limited human resources / deadlines challenging, and wondered what to do. My answer in the past has been to lower review quality (reviewing faster) while keeping #5.

In my case the priority for reviews was high, but we were limited by the reviewers/developers ratio since most people would not do reviews...

The problem of deciding what should be merged or blocked

If you want to merge something and I read it over and reject the PR because you forgot about concurrency, that doesn’t mean you don’t get to merge, it means that it’s not finished baking. And assuming you give a shit about the code your response should be “oh shit, lemme fix that and resubmit” OR “actually this code will never have concurrent access, and here’s why.” You’re making this process sound adversarial when it isn’t. It’s a group effort. Everyone wins or loses together.

You're obviously right, you're misunderstanding me. With blocked I didn't meant "forever", I meant until the issues is discussed. I'm merely asking how the reviewer is making the call on what should be addressed before merge in #5

If there is work that needs to be done, and you are asked to do it, the code will be merged when it’s right. I don’t decide what to merge, I decide when something is ready to merge.

you're really nitpicking my English, which I know is not great, but yeah that's what I was asking, so you use #5 with a single person making the final call on when something is ready.

You’re making this process sound adversarial when it isn’t.

Absolutely not, I've never said or thought that. But of course development is made of people and computers can only tell you what compiles, not "when it's right" as you say. So of course I'm more curious to understand how to solve situations when you do have conflict, if you don't it's easy.
