Yeah that didn’t fly at all …
Hey thanks for engaging in this discussion!
I think you have a point asking “Where to draw the line?” Obviously I don’t have a simple answer to this question because it would just be an arbitrary line to draw. Also this matter can’t be discussed with Enyas wealth in mind alone but with wealth in general.
I think to answer this question it would be necessary to know who (as in "the richest 0.x % ) would have to abandon how much of their wealth to reach a certain goal for the poorest x % and as long as we can agree that the benefit outweighs the cost (maybe even in a significant manner to “allow” a certain amount of inequality) it is save to draw the line there.
I’m speculating now, but maybe we would come to the conclusion that it would only take a little amount of wealth of the richest few people to lift the poorest of the poorest out of severe hunger. I think we could agree that this would be very reasonable because the benefit would greatly outweigh the cost. Maybe even providing basic housing to all people who need it would cost only a neglectable number of people some of their huge wealth. This could also be a possible line then.
So as you see I’d try to draw a line using some utilitarianistic criteria.
You do know that the two main devs are working full time on Lemmy and are getting paid to do so by the NLnet foundation?
The software developers equivalent of my argument above would be a developers who’s getting paid for their dayjob but still does some work for an open source project in their free time.
It’s not about never doing anything for free but about stopping getting paid at all.
I think the problem here is: When you realize that what you’re doing has value to others you won’t suddenly start doing it for free even if you can easily afford doing so. There may be exceptions from this like doing charity concerts as a musician, doing pro bono cases as a lawyer or helping your friend renovate their flat as a house painter and decorator. But in general I am pretty sure you won’t go from taking money to doing your craft for free.
Well some would argue that accumulating this much wealth is the wrongdoing in this story.
With her wealth she easily belongs to the top 0.1 % wealthiest people in the us. I think this amount of wealth surpassed the “It’s okay to have nice things” phase and quickly got to the “You should take some responsibility with your inexplicable wealth!”
… but the scenario you describe is not related to pasting passwords, it is more related to staying logged in, isn’t it?
🤣 Thanks, that was a very thorough explanation. The thought that the sentence was just flipped didn’t cross my mind.
5·1 year agoGreat idea, would you please file an issue on github?
2·1 year agoOh yes I got my definition of correlation slightly wrong. Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean that two things have the same cause but they do relate in some way either by having a common cause or by occuring in the same system. They definitely have more in common than happening just at the same time or right after each other like a coincidence.I didn’t claim that correlation equals causation and I hope you didn’t get the impression because this would be oviously wrong.Edit: I stand corrected and today I learned that “correlation” means that two things have a statistical relation without any causal relation implied. There can be a causal relation but it’s not necessary. The key takeaway for me is that correlation describes a statistical relationship.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Now do you mind explaining the typo to me so I finally get the joke of your comic? 😬
That’s exactly the problem with many open source projects.
I recently experienced this first hand when submitting some pull requests to Jerboa and following the devs: As long as there is no money funding the project the devs are trying to support the project in their free time which means little to no time for quality control. Mistakes happen… most of them are uncritical but as long as there’s little to no time and expertise to audit code meaningfully and systematically, there will be bugs and these bugs may be critical and security relevant.
I honestly don’t get it which may be because I’m not a native speaker. But did you know there actually IS a National Homemade Soup Day in the US?
Do you have an example? I’m pretty sure correlation cannot be caused by coincidence.
Coincidence is describing two things happening at the same time but with separate causes. Correlation is describing two things having a common cause.
Not exactly. What you’re looking for is coincidence.
This has been addressed but there is no solution yet:
This has already been suggested on GitHub:

I was more curious why ver .33 is no longer working
0.0.33 isn’t working anymore because Jerboa’s default instance (Lemmy.ml) has already been updated to 0.18 for testing purposes and trying to connect to a 0.18 instance causes Jerboa 0.0.34 and older to crash.
We are in a rather silly state where we can’t use Jerboa 0.0.35 to log in to instances other than Lemmy.ml and can’t use Jerboa 0.0.34 when we haven’t been logged in before updating. 😬
