What does “empathy in communication” have to do with a software project?
Not having read Stein’s work, I can only mostly guess it’s related to the emphasis on the “communication” part as it applis to effective communication of duties, milestones, failure modes and reactions in a project. Torvalds’s tirades for example were awesome and most of the time well-deserved for the idiot trying to accidentally the kernel, but are quite more of a bummer and a momentum-killer when looked at at a project-wide scope.
I’m all for empathy, don’t get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels
(Not) sorry to say, that age has long sailed. Remote teambuilding, capitalism and AI have made it that we now need to actually care and be watchful why or how something is being made to work, on the technical sense. Just look at the situation with Mozilla or Signal (offering systems that can be described as free, but are being offered so in a rather adversarial manner).
Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.
Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.
I don’t want AI slop from big corpo and you think I am gonna want AI slop that’s just as wasteful and harmful just because it’s “locally produced”? That’s Republican-ish crap line of thought.
How cute that you believe that.
imagine someone comes over to your place and starts protesting and saying how bad you are
What, you want them to lie to you to your face?
This should like… just not be a rule though
Eh it’s issues with l.w mods being overall cowards.
Think of the lemmy.world mods!!!
It seems they don’t care.
Then get that in writing.
Or with cooperatives. Cooperatives are a good alternative to corporations.
The entire point of the fediverse is to federate. Not federating by default kills discoverability and the potential for discoverability among other things
Oh, do cry me a river while you’re at it. Pretty much every community everywhere has a general
or memes
room, those are for the meme gifs (or wait, these are webp these days…).
So basically, people use Reddit to search on the internet now because it’s real people, not shitty SEO content.
Excuse me what? Since when since Jun 2024 does Reddit actually have real people?
This pretty much. At some point one has to accept that the people who want to be saved can be saved, and those who don’t, can’t. We shouldn’t (reasonably or not) waste ourselves for the latter in spite of the former.
If I’m talking with people about the topical thing which is why I joined a room in the first place, the last thing I want is a looping autoloops fruityloops annoyance. Plus, not autoplaying and autolooping them saves battery.
Excuse me, Jabber / XMPP is about as old as I am!
XMPP / Jabber is better.
Just sell the car to a derby demolition show. We all win.
Nah, I chose DDG and got a better result, but thanks!
