  • Just found out tracking pixels have a 3-5x 60 days ROI

  • But it is true that companies do use those pixels. And also it's kinda funny how that article is worded. Like a dead-pan troll that aims to make ones blood boil

  • Yep. That's why FairMail is so great. It can be set up to not open images nor original formatting (HTML) by default. And for web, I hope that CanvasBlocker is enough to everytime appear as separate viewer

  • 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

  • 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 weekYou are perpetually in "I-fix-it" modeNot 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

  • I checked Typst out a bit. It couldn't do a specific, niche thing I want to do but in general it felt really nice. Definitely feels newer than LaTeX and with less technical debt/baggage. A bit more limited but still nice

    And for some reason it seems there's no community for Typst on Threadiverse

  • Running my own fediverse instance for the people who need it the most

    Jump

  • The content is going to be both text-based and media like videos pictures etc. Currently we are on a telegram super group but that doesn’t cut it and can be lost. Is piefed or Lemmy a good fit for this? I have been here since 2023 and I think it would be. One other issue is privacy the identity of the members should be protected at all costs.

    If this is only for having a place to socialize, Fedi will work

    But if you want privacy, maybe check out delta chat? https://chatmail.at/doc/relay/getting_started.htmlYou probably will still need a domain for the relay and somewhere to run it but when used in one account mode, delta relay stores nothing on users. It only relays the messages
