I've never felt inclined to regard bluesky with hostility, but definitely wouldn't call myself a fan; honestly that was a really thoughtful reply and improved my impression of bluesky as a platform
I hope they can avoid the pitfalls of venture capital funding and build a platform that doesn't suck, even if mastodon will be my microblogging home on the internet :)
Could you elaborate? I'm not a developer but the repo does appear to be populated. Someone in the Mastodon replies said he might have forgotten to push some commits, are y'all alluding to the same thing?
I don't have the requisite competency to see what you're saying so I'd love more info on what you mean and why you think that
I don't entirely disagree but I do think it would help if he could work on stuff full time. He has like 4 separate projects he's running in his spare time around a job
I don't think it's smart of him to take on that many separate things in his spare time, and I agree that building it closed source first isn't a great choice, but I have no agency over those choices other than to tell him I think he could be making better choices on Mastodon
Ultimately, I don't expect people who build foss stuff I want to be perfect, or make the choices I think would be most optimal, or to be the most capable developer in the room. I don't see anyone else building it, so it's his project and he can make choices I don't agree with. And I don't even really think it's an issue of dev competency; the pixelfed app was literally on its first release when it started getting attention. The biggest problem is that all of his projects are moving at the speed of molasses, because he has four of them and also a full time job.
I want all the things he's building to exist, and he's the one who stepped up to the plate, so what I can do is donate as I'm able, talk about it so others know he needs funding, and continue offering feedback on Mastodon when he's discussing stuff.
I don't even particularly like the guy, but I still wanna see his projects succeed
That... seems like such an obvious solution lol, I just spend so much time on my phone I forget extensions are a thing unless I'm actively tinkering with my browser
Thank you so much for sharing! I'll go take a look at firefox extensions when I next look for RSS feeds ☺️
The video talks about the legal stuff and context 40 sec in (short version, the current patent hasn't been granted in Europe where he lives yet. He also said apparently the patent is unlikely to hold up 🤷♂️)
I don't mean that as a passive aggressive jab at you not watching the video or something, just me chatting about its contents :)
Under conditions that raise the possibility of females engaging in extra-pair copulations (i.e., periods of separation from their partner, allegations of female infidelity), Gallup et al. (2003) also found that males appear to modify the use of their penis in ways that are consistent with the displacement hypothesis. Based on anonymous surveys of over 600 college students, many sexually active males and females reported deeper and more vigorous thrusting when in-pair sex occurred under conditions related to an increased likelihood of female infidelity.

I wasn't prepared for any of it, but I certainly wasn't prepared for to read that paragraph
Thank you so much for the additional context!
