Your experience mirrors mine, where you must refer to the Rust and/or JS code to have a chance in hell.

Yep... and if you and I got discouraged, how many other developers did as well? This is why good docs are essential for a healthy ecosystem.

No, I was just chewing on various ideas to integrate with Lemmy and was disappointed with the docs I saw. They seemed OK-ish if you wanted to use the JS client, but not great if you want to do something else.

On similar projects, I'm used to seeing OpenAPI/Swagger/etc. where you have docs on the incoming bodies/fields, what values they can contain, etc.

Right now it's really bare bones. I see things like 'auth' OPTIONAL but not really sure what would go in there.

I can RTFS like another poster said, but of course that's not as convenient as "general purpose" API docs with examples / tutorial.

I was curious to see if the reply was going to be:

• We are happy with the state of docs (WONTFIX)

OR

• The current situation is temporary and we will provide better docs at some point in the future

proper nouns like sed, awk and grep?

I wonder how anyone stereotyping individuals based on far-distant ancestors square up these beliefs with hominid evolution. I guess the answer is "they don't".

Reddit comment threads are currently just full of groupmind wankery. I like being on a platform where I don't 100% agree with everyone and I don't have to hold "sanctioned" opinions that are approved by a mod team of 3.

Spanish would be a good description of your ethnic background in that situation, but there are quite a number of ethnic identities within Spain as well - the Basque, Galicians and Catalans, just to name a few. “Spanish” isn’t a racial monolith. There would be plenty of people whose ethnic background looks quite different to yours but who are no less Spanish.

But none of that is mutable, is it?

By the way, cheers to you for actually answering the question. I've seen "BAN NAZIS" before, but I haven't really understood what the requestors are looking to ban, and when questioned they seem to disappear quickly.

This seems pretty well thought out.

I'm a little confused by: "A belief that race is an immutable genetic concept". If I was born in Spain and my whole family has lived there for centuries, am I not Spanish / a Spaniard?

I'd agree that saying things like "all Spaniards are terrible at math" is racist, but I don't see how one's race is mutable in this fashion.

What's your definition of a Nazi? A member of a national socialist party? I want to understand what is being banned before it's banned.

Exactly!!! They don't care about social causes, etc. They just want the most clicks on their clickbait headlines. Simple as. If there was some crazy twist to the migrant story, like Hunter Biden being on board or something it would have dominated the headlines. The main sin of the migrants was not being clickbaity enough.

Totally, but at least Oracle doesn't pretend they are some kind of beacon of open source. Red Hat is trying to party like it's 1999 while it's just a boring division of IBM now.

Why WOULDN'T we move off if something better came along?

I am. It’s there in the GPL text in black and white. Red Hat does not have any right to place restrictions on the distribution of derivative works that they do not own the original copyright for. Threatening to terminate a service agreement is a restriction.

From what I understand, these restrictions only apply to if you have been provided the software. Red Hat is under no legal obligation to supply you with their software, nor to continue doing so if you violate their terms.

I agree this makes them total scumbags, but as far as I understand the GPL they are not breaking the law.

The new model is "fuck you, pay me"

Nothing a fork or two won't solve.

Canonical has their own problems right now... Not a lot of snap fans out there. Canonical seems determined to skate to somewhere their users don't live and create a world they don't want.

Red Hat died the day IBM bought them. All that garbage about "leaving Red Hat alone" was of course total nonsense. IBM is doing what it does best -- squeeze its existing customer base for short term gains. This won't be the last thing Red Hat does that makes people annoyed.

This is the real question. I'm sick of people dismissing criticisms against her because she's black and/or a woman. Give me an actual reason to like her!

She's definitely a horrible public speaker. I totally disagree with how she tackled truancy during her time as a DA/AG. Is this just my internalized racism speaking or can I ACTUALLY feel this way?

I’m not a big fan of the Republican party but there are some issues they are championing at the moment like free speech

Free speech like this?

• Legislation in Tennessee could potentially criminalize speech that causes 'emotional distress' to or 'frightens' another person, which could be seen as a suppression of free speech (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).

• In Washington state, Republican Senator Doug Ericksen introduced a bill that would allow state authorities to charge protesters with "economic terrorism" if they participated in illegal demonstrations or coerced private citizens into doing so (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).

• In Kentucky, a bill was passed criminalizing the act of insulting a police officer (www.alternet.org/gop-revolts-against-free-speech-republicans-push-anti-protest-bills-across-the-country/).

This is so lazy. The burden of proof is upon the claimant. Feel free to toss out wild claims without providing anything to support what you are saying, but then don't be surprised when no one believes you.

Hillary Clinton was widely respected every year

(source needed)

Here's a list of objectionable stuff Hillary was involved with prior to running for president:

• Hillary Clinton's hawkish stance on war, being more hawkish than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She is specifically noted for advocating an escalation in Afghanistan​.
• Clinton's involvement in the 2009 military coup in Honduras. Rather than condemning the coup, Clinton pressured other countries to recognize the new right-wing government, leading to increased violence and instability in the country​​.
• The firing of seven employees from the travel office during the Clinton administration in 1993, an act that some critics attribute to Hillary Clinton's influence. The fired employees were later reinstated due to public pressure​.
• Controversies surrounding her commodity trades from 1978 and 1979, in which she turned an initial investment of $1,000 into nearly $100,000. No official investigations were carried out, but the incident raised eyebrows and led to criticism​​.
• Involvement in her husband's controversial pardons during his presidency, including those for the owners of a carnival company convicted of bank fraud​.
• A controversy regarding gifts taken from the White House upon the Clintons' departure in 2001. Some items, worth $28,000, were meant for the White House estate and not as personal gifts for the Clintons. These items were returned after complaints from the donors​.

For me, it's this:

[Harris] fought for this law, which raised the financial penalty and made it a criminal misdemeanor for parents, up to a year in jail, when their children missed at least 10 percent of school time.

Well hell man, give us the details.

OK, if it's so easy and the workers create all the value, those workers are free to start their own competing company and become the billionaires.

Because there are also CEOs and similar executives that do NOT fuck up and make billions for their companies. Big risk, but big reward.

Nix and Common Lisp seem to sit in the same space -- it's spoken of extremely fondly but has difficulty escaping the lab. For some reason it's extremely technically capable, but fails to find widespread adoption.

Try challenging it not to rhyme and write a song. It has extreme trouble.

Same ol AABB. If you give it lyrics from a more lyrically complex song, it can copy it, but ask for a few more and it slips in AABB rhyming very quickly.

brings jobs back to America

NOOO not THOSE jobs

modern content ownership is grey

It's worse than grey. It doesn't exist unless you hold physical media in your hand.

So you stop and then it goes unchecked.

But de-federating ENSURES it goes unchecked....

Certainly, if it's baseless propaganda you'll have no trouble rebutting all the points instead of attacking the source.

HAHAHA if you think that's a wall of text, have a great day. I'll try and find a shorter quote to totally disprove you next time.

Aha, so only "TRUE" capitalism can be critiqued.

To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 1851

I guess he was ahead of his time; able to criticize capitalism before it was invented!

Debian stable. The mix of having a stable host but being able to pull in flatpak / appimage / docker containers with newer software is awesome.

This is the best analysis I've seen so far. The majority of posts I have seen say "reddit is an inch from death", which isn't even remotely close to accurate. A site can be a 3rd tier, boring, corporate-owned collection of content that has non-exciting revenue, but that's not dead.
