🤷 I guess that link aggregating platform might be more about “come to me with a link or thought to discuss” than “tell me something about yourself”
But that’s just me saying how I “feel the room”, not that it should be that way

Well, there is !newcomers@piefed.zip

Hello! :) 👋

you’re being downvoted because in Threadiverse it’s not customary to have introductory first post

Have you heard about funkwhale?

I’m not an expert on Rust nor webdev but maybe wasm (I just picked a result that seemed worthwhile. IDK how much up-to-date this is) is the thing for you to explore?

It’s clear that it’s a bot. My question is: why it has upvotes?

I think the point is to get a notification when you’re getting into the range of some of those glasses

But I’d need to have BT on for that to work?

I totally understand but unfortunately sometimes “it is, what it is”

Don’t do this. Don’t publish documents online where everyone can get to it. Best, don’t put documents on the internet at all, even behind a password

This comm has in the rules “community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub”. So posts like this are going to be received poorly here

If you are for real, I think, in presents for parents it’s not about what exactly you buy. It’s about the caring thought. Maybe the guitar would have made her happy and you had a plan to get it. But the plan fell short. It happens. Instead of getting tunnel-visioned on the plan I propose you to think what else could you get her that would make her happy with the funds you have. And next year, start saving another month earlier. Maybe that plan will pan out

Even their missiles are looking for an asylum

Wild idea: how about using a small usb C keyboard (or maybe BT one?) and your phone?
(on f-droid): ConnectBot, termux, Logseq, Editor/Emacs should be able to cover your needs for ssh and writing notes

I think it will greatly depend on the hotel. And if you rent an apartment, from my experience I have not seen neither American nor UK converters in the ones I’ve been renting

Looking at sidebar, I think this community might be wanting to focus on news

Ah, but you see “asshole with a lifetime of poor emotional self regulation” is not “scheming fascist with an agenda”. That’s what I’m arguing with in your take

And in the scope of the question, which used plural “devs losing their minds”, I think that it would be a vilification to effectively say “they snap because they are fascists”

There are and will be non-fascist (and IMO also non-asshole) devs who snap. And I think some times it will be because of the feeling of responsibility for something, “either I fix it or it won’t get fixed” situation, lack of social/team/peer safety net, … (in my first comment I tried to rather portray the situation than name all those things because I just can’t name all of them)

The question I responded to was rather a general one. And I think that seeing all dev-related dramas as “that guy was just fascist all along” is similar to saying “all X are thieves” - a simplification that is easy to choose because it addresses our emotions regarding what has happened but not necessarily always the best explanation

That is when they have a meltdown and quit the project because demand for bug fixes or new features it too much pressure.

That requires self-awareness to ask oneself “maybe I need a break?” and I think such decision can be hard to make due to sunken cost fallacy. I think that with the pressure of the pings about bugs and requests etc, it’s easy to get into mindset of “it’s either on or off” with nothing in between. Because 5 bugs solved means only 3 other to go.
And the second option is to dig in harder and in this case “curate the feed. All of it. Whatever that means”

I’m not saying that that person did not act out of an agenda. But I can imagine a set of choices that lead to a catastrophic breaking point

I think it’s the pressure and the solo developer model

You put something out. It seems to be running. There are bugs. You fix them. There are more bugs (pareto is a PITA). You fix them too. Someone accuses you of sacrificing kittens in the basement. There are ideas for features and more bugs. Some worded in an entitled or just tone-deaf way. Very often you’re the only one working on the project and saying “I accept PRs” somehow became received as a FU. It becomes hard to put the project away for just a week
You are perpetually in “I-fix-it” mode
Not to mention that in order to even start a project like that one needs to have at least a bit of “fuck it, I’ll do it myself” mentality

It’s a pity that !unfinishedprojects@forum.unfinishedprojects.net wound down. I hoped it might have been a space for projects to find communities. As we see around, it doesn’t require a 10 person team with a kanban board to write something that works. But on the other side of the spectrum I think a project needs some sort of community around it. So even if there’s only one dev, someone else could write the tutorials, less technical parts of docs, help new deployments etc

!emacs@lemmy.ml !emacs@programming.dev
I’ve been using it for many, many years. C++, Bash, Python, LaTeX, Rust…

The setup and learning can take a bit but once you figure it out, you can move your config file across machines. You can define your own functions, define shortcuts per mode you’re in and lots more. Works both in GUI and CL

I appreciate the self-awareness 😄

Why one source? this seems to be pulling from 3 sources ATM

I hope they are using some proper translator for the translations, not another LLM

What I think it needs is pulling more articles from more sources and instead of one summary for all, which will most often be non-representative, bundle all the news and split by topics. With marks who mentions what
