Because the initial startup push is a time-limited effort. Once the company is more established and the risk is lower, why should a founder get to continue reaping outsize rewards off the backs of others’ labor… indefinitely? Surely there comes a point when their initial risk and effort becomes fully repaid and the founder has been made whole.

Dude, if you’re having heart palpations, go to fucking urgent care. That shit can be lethal. Atrial fibrillation? Atrial flutter? They can cause blood clots which can cause stroke. Urgent care will know what to do, even if that’s just calling a cardiologist elsewhere to look at your EKG or even stuffing you in an ambulance and driving you to an ER.

Don’t want to take medical advice from a rando on the internet? (You shouldn’t!) Then call your goddamned nurse line. They will sort you out and tell you exactly where to go.

Good luck.

I develop a moderately popular open source project and self-host it on Gitea. But I also mirror it on GitHub and accept PRs there. And one PR submitter on GitHub said they preferred to contribute there because that’s where potential employers look for open source activity.

Could employers also look on Gitea/Forgejo? In theory, yes. But some of them literally ask for your GitHub profile on their application forms…

1. There are companies you can pay to physically shred your disk drives. You have to be able to trust them of course for this to work.

2. Or if you want to DIY, you can drill or smash your drives. Just wear eye protection, etc. Making the drives inoperative like this is the only thing I’d trust, but you can also software-wipe them first.

Wait, when did the action happen??

You too!

If so many folks were mislead by what you said, perhaps consider that you share some responsibility in communicating clearly.

Misunderstanding someone on the internet is stupid?

That’s correct.

Yup that’s exactly how it came off (to me).

So then I guess I’m not seeing how it serves as an example…

How many examples do you think are needed before people stop doing drugs?
