Been using Jenkins since before it was called Jenkins. It’s been in use at every corpo I’ve worked for. It can practically do anything. Especially coupled with Docker.

There are counterexamples for sure but there are whole indistries that fell over to this pattern. E.g. TVs.

Unlikely. Their ODM bought them. Our home maps would however become part of their property. While I’m not happy about it, I think I prefer that than Amazon having it tbh.

Yet another example that the firms that actually make the things are the ones that matter in the long run.

Apparently Picea makes Roomba, Shark, Anker (Eufy). Maybe also some Dyson.

Yes. The way things ate going, at some point it may become less harmful and easier to deal with unwanted Chinese tech than American. Pay much lower profit margins as a bonus.

At some point we’d have to start importing TVs from the other side of the Great Chinese Firewall to avoid unwanted US tech. It’s getting ridiculous.

Oh that looks like a nice resource.

Yes and my point is that even if the corpo pays, which it absolutely should, that’s not the end of the economic effect when that resource is used to the limit at the moment. We will end up paying too.

The demand for construction workers? If so, it could, if there’s enough unemployment. Otherwise workers from some other industry would have to shift to construction. Creating a shortage in that industry. Switching industries is a more difficult process than getting an unemployed worker to work in construction though. But if there’s already a labour shortage in the construction industry, then that answers the question. There isn’t enough unemployment or shifting from other industries to fill the demand. And there seems to be one.

If there’s underemployment in construction or higher unemployment, then yeah, the construction labour market would likely expand without much effect in housing and infrastructure.

When unemployment is low in the construction sector, we can’t have them pay. When they pay, they’ll outbid us for workers who were previously building homes and public infrastructure. We’d either have to outbid cloud for these workers, or we’d pay by having higher housing prices and crumbling infrastructure, which incurs other social costs. Real resources are finite. The only way for us to not pay is for them to not build the power plants and datacenters. In a truly democratic system we’d be able to say no. In this system, capital outvotes us.

E: I’m not arguing that the corpos shouldn’t pay. They should. I’m arguing the economic effect doesn’t stop with that payment and we’re still fucked.

It’s also the only way to save it from destruction driven by its major shareholders.

And any reductions in power consumption would be eliminated by adding more compute capacity.

That’s pretty interesting. No GObject and GPLv3.

Yup, there’s definitely use cases but the battery is a no-no. It has to be replaceable even if it compromises the design a bit.

Are there any a|ternatives to n8n?

Sounds like a problem with the hosting of lemmy.world. I think they’re using Hetzner. I don’t think Lemmy cares at all what IP you come from.

Yup. I opted for mininally computerized Whirlpool based on some of his stuff in 2020. Mainly because they’re simple and there’s plenty of parts and repair people who can fix them in Canada.

But the top 20% can still spend. That number is going to drop off a cliff when the stock market tumbles, and the spending with it.

If you look at the history of capitalism you could observe the stage where capitalism does put profits into R&D is temporary. Eventually capitalists reach enough power that lets them generate profts without significant reinvestment and instead spend them on luxury goods. Happened in the late 19th/early 20th century. It’s happening now as well. In-between that there was a massive state intervention that took significant economic power from capitalist class and put it into the state. The period when capitalism worked well for the majority was a deviation from the mean. Relevant.
