I don’t even want this, and my favorite flavor is crayon!
Or, you could just pick one computer, have it do the work and punish it by taking its money if it screws up (ETH).
But yeah you’re not wrong about minable coins.
Tech is hard, leaders aren’t always technical. AI is great at bullshitting, and it’s swooned many CEOs into thinking it will 10x (make them 10x more efficient than they previously were) existing employees / replace the need for programmers. Lots of leaders just look to what other leaders at companies are doing - some see what elon does at twitter as proof that downsizing drastically won’t kill your company.
Programming is like editing a book with many chapters. New developers need time to learn the story line of the book before they can begin editing anything. If the book has been around and edited continuously for over a decade, it’s going to take some time for those developers to understand the book well enough to start making meaningful contributions. Lots of these tech companies have multiple books each with many chapters, and one thing leadership either doesn’t realize or doesn’t seem to factor into the equation is that maintaining these books and all their story arcs and character development gets harder and harder over time. Truly in the tech industry, it’s more expensive to train a new hire than it is to promote an existing hire.
But again, leaders are listening to folks like elon musk…
Genital mutilation under the guise of “easier to clean” is stupid. Cutting off your legs also makes them easier to clean.
I love you.

ESLint will hurt your feelings.
Anyway, I didn’t setup the tooling, and it can be configured to enforce code styles, as it does with each commit. It also enforces rules, but can enforce code style as well.
“Based landlords” hate this one weird trick!
lots of languages have linters to enforce style. Examples are jslint/eslint phplint, etc…
meta could also make the world go kaboom after building up its own army after building its own nation-state.
just a statement of possibility.
I think that’s a bit of an overreaction. the internet at large has many domains. domains are owned (publicly) by corps - filtering would be pretty easy. I also don’t see any benefit for facebook to behave this way. Facebook doesn’t need the fediverse - most of their users already think of them as “the internet”. Facebook has already taken over the internet (and they really haven’t, as it’s very possible to avoid them).
The internet has always been decentralized. It will always be decentralized. Your attention dictates the amount of control the companies you give attention to have power over you.
AFAIK, Meta cannot modify algorithms in lemmy code / created in networks inside lemmy instances (if that’s s thing) unless meta starts running those instances themselves. No doubt, using meta’s instance and client will let meta do what it wants to do.
I think the harder problem here is meta isn’t a curated collection of 300+ instances we can block when we don’t like the instance (e.g., instances != facebook communities). Meta is just going to come online with a large instance with millions of users. It’s kind of hard to judge all of meta users at once, as an instance provider. So, I guess instances who don’t want meta, don’t get meta. Fair.
I agree with all the misconceptions you’ve cleared up, and you’ve also made a great case for why people would want to join a smaller private instance instead of facebook. I guess I just don’t see the present threat to the fediverse with meta (aside from instances being bombarded with trash that needs to be defederated from that instance). There’s absolutely an existential threat, but the beauty of open source is that as long as there are devs willing to work on it, it can still exist - meta cannot buy the current version of lemmy we are all using and prevent it from being run, for example.

is this what it means to “own the libs”?
I got lemmy for that!
