there is no money to be done on the fediverse

people here are sensible to influencers, ads, etc… Like at the beginning of the Internet. They hate it a lot lot more than people on youtube, tiktok or facebbok even reddit.

This is a place for non-commercial sharing. At least for now.

    One day I mentionned this rule while having a dinner with friends. One of them was a woman I met fir the first time.

    It turned out his husband was way older than this rule allowed when they met. And now that the rule is fine, she didn’t felt bad about her husband.

    Seriously, I felt so shitty. Let people loves who they love without discrimination as long as this is consensual between adults.

    From my experience of boss looking at people working. Working hard is by a huge margin a lot better than working smart. Trust me I know my shit. Once I even wrote a formula in Excel! /s

    That being said with experience you stop using anecdotes, easy pre-made sentences like "premature abstraction/optimisation is the root of all evil!" and you understand that there are no generic solutions and you need, every time, to think hard about the best way to produce something relatively to the context and constraints which, most of them, aren’t technical but organizational and human related.

    And also, if you intend to work on a project more than 6 months. Quality is really worth it. The lack of quality works like accumulating mud. After a while, you are stuck, and the next step will require a huge amount of energy.

    Before ; someone with a salary did some work.

    After ; you the customer do the work, are not paid for it, forced to see ads, and naturally more and more steps will be added. (do you want to give to charity? do you want our premium card? what is your city? and other bullshit).

    Sorry but I refuse to self checkout. Pretty often if there is only self checkout I left everything in place for the staff to put again in the store.

    If I am forced to use them, I am already in such bad mood that I make my best to make the experience as terrible as possible. I lie systematically to any question, I tend to make mistakes, wait for someone to come. Mainly, I try to make it worse economically.

    How in one generation people have accepted to work for free. Not for me.

    First happy new year everyone! Thanks a lot for all the work provided by admins and everyone involved in this lemmy instance.

    Recently I am blocking all communities from zerobytes.monster instance personally. It just appears to be a ripoff some subreddits.

    As there is no way to block all communities from some instance as a programming.dev user and as I feel these communities are mostly spam. I wonder if other people share the same feeling and if programming.dev should block them?

    I hope I am asking via the correct channel. I don’t think this should be reported as I might also be in the minority and other people prefer to keeps these communities copied from reddit.
