Communities similar to Satanic Temple? (programming.dev)
 

Super broad question, but I want to ask if there are other communities similar in one aspect or another to the Satanic Temple?

Let's not be nihilist here. It's better to come up with solutions than to give up.

Thoughts on Post-Open Source? (www.theregister.com)
 

TLDR: Companies should be required to pay developers for any open source software they use.

He imagines a simple yearly compliance process that gets companies all the rights they need to use Post-Open software. And they'd fund developers who would be encouraged to write software that's usable by the common person, as opposed to technical experts.

It's an interesting concept, but I don't really see any feasible means to get this to kick off.

What are your thoughts on it?

Anyone uses IRC? Why? (programming.dev)
 

I was exploring an obscure Linux distro when I noticed they're contact page had an IRC client. You can connect to the IRC via Matrix, but the people there prefer pure IRC.

My question is do other programmers use IRC? Also why?

Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)
 

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
