Why? What's nice about lemmy is you can have special purpose instances. It's no different than having an academic email address. You can still participate on an instance without making an account.
They probably spent a year looking for a job and they're suffering from imposter syndrome so they feel like if they aren't constantly getting stuff done they might be fired, plus they haven't worked enough to hit burnout and don't know how to pace themselves.
You could know absolutely everything about building computers and still know absolutely nothing about sim racing rigs. Knowing some domains doesn't make you an expert at all domains. He could reach out to an expert for areas he's not familiar with but he's more concerned about clickbait and shitting out videos as quickly as possible.
Actually, I don't. I'd rather this not turn into a spectacle, just you broke the law, you were found guilty, now go to jail. Having it become a whole crazy political war I don't think would be good for the country.
Are there any academic focused lemmy instances? I'd love a community that requires proof of a degree to join (could still allow users from other instances to comment and participate) and only has science focused communities.
And again, they're volunteers, they're already doing a service and they shouldn't be forced to take legal risks they don't want to.
It's really annoying how lazy people are, the solution is to just have multiple accounts. It's two clicks to change accounts but those lazy mfs have no response to that except that they don't want to.
It adds even more auto formatting rules so you can basically stop thinking about formatting entirely. I used to be opinionated about formatting but now I just go with whatever prettier does. It's not always the best but it's consistent and it's a big chunk of my brain I can free up for things that matter. It also formats things safely so you don't run into those weird edge cases where semicolons matter if you choose to turn them off.
After switching to typescript with linting and prettier I simply hate writing vanilla JavaScript anymore. Some people complain about the extra project setup needed but I find that time pays for itself immediately.
Yup, they're a big target and being a big target means more liability. Spreading the fediverse is good for us all. It means taking down piracy is like whack a mole.
NFT buyers were also scammers since their intention was to sell it off to the next patsy
