@boud @jerkey Well as much as I personally love FOSS, using it wherever and whenever I can, I can’t seem to trust it with business critical applications where reliability and high availability are key. Although we’ve come a long way , we’re just not there yet. And hence I for one, will continue to be a part of the #tyrannyofconvenience (I might even change my handle to that XD. Hella edgy phrase, thanks !)

@jerkey @boud @jerry @batalanto @Gargron again, sure for personal projects, there are tons of choices (GitLab being the most popular), but with no added incentive ( but depending on the use case, more than a few small to significant drawbacks ) to use them. As a dev, one should be pouring all of one’s efforts into building a solution whatever use case , business or socially beneficial, not jumping hurdles due to poor choices

@boud @jerkey @jerry @batalanto @Gargron but it’s a chicken and egg problem. Sure you’d want to move to more ethical FOSS alternatives, but all the integrations and tools are only available for these proprietary suites. Since they’re not popular, tools aren’t built for these niche alternatives. No matter a person personal inclinations, you can’t really scale businesses by depending on these. #pragmatic

7 things all kids need to hear

1 I love you

2 I'm proud of you

3 I'm sorry

4 I forgive you

5 I'm listening

6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup

7 You've got what it takes

This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society.

Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.

Workers > Billionaires

@kellylepo with discoveries like these happening, sometimes I think to myself, aren’t the problems of the modern day as silly and insignificant as squabble ? #weareallstardust
