  • The Future of Software Development is Software Developers

  • Dumb, ignorant people voting for dumb, ignorant people gets you dumb, ignorant people at the top. What a surprise!

    If the well is full of shit, you'll only be pulling shit to the top.

  • It Took 6+ Years For Linux's "New" Mount API To Be Properly Documented In Man Pages

  • Groff is indeed such a crap format to write documentation in. It nearly reads like zalgo.

    I can't wait for the anti markdown people to come out of the woodwork though and complain that it's "the progressivist agenda" to be more user friendly because devs aren't users.

    "If you can't write Groff, maybe you dont deserve to read the output"

    "The markdown evangelists are so annoying. You can't just rewrite everything in markdown"

    "When will this markdown craze stop??? I can't hear it anymore!"

    Identity politics entered the developer arena.

  • [Answered] Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?

  • Looks like I'll be checking that out.

  • We all have limits. For some communicating with those who tolerate genocide is alright, for others using their software is fine, and for even others they will happily give money to them à la "it's not me, so why should I care?". But if the number of people who don't care is not enough to sustain that software development, it will have an effect. We can wait to see if we get that far or do something about it.

    I'll check out Piefed and Mbin as that seems to be most common answer here.

  • I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can't do everything. That is why the question is "we" not "hey @gerowen@piefed.social why don't you make a fork, you lazy bastard". Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I'm willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

    Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.

  • OK, let's say somebody who hates you to the core and wants to see you dead made software you found great. All they said was stuff like "I think your kind deserves to be shot", "your kind are subhuman", "they hung your kind and I see nothing wrong with that".

    Would you use their software? Would you enjoy being part of the numbers that they use to validate getting money, maybe even power? Would you publicly promote their software? Would you get others to use it? Would you even donate to them? Would you get others to donate to them?

  • OK, thanks. I guess I'll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don't use Github sponsors.

  • Usually it is as this point things turn to shit in opensource/community/fediverse/cooperative. The devs are not the product.

    What does this even mean? Who creates something doesn't matter at all? If that's the case, then using Microshaft products doesn't matter, does it? They can provide the infra and software for bombing Gaza but who cares right? They make software that is worth using so we should keep giving them money. No problem.

  • It will become a problem for us if lemmy isn't funded, won't it?

  • Unpaid and using an MIT license so that the megacorps dont contribute back? Golly, I wonder who that would be!

  • So what, it's still a trash language.

  • I think you're right. CSS was more understandable to me after reading that it came from the world of print media. It's how things were laid out there and it was transformed into a language from those with domain knowledge.

    But I would be curious if those who studied art also use the same terminology. If so, then it would make sense that it would seem more intuitive to them.

  • I do not envy the monkey apt at throwing shit. If you find it a useful aptitude, good for you.

  • Yeah, using trash is definitely a skill issue. You're right about that.

  • Yeah. Easy. So easy. Text size changes, svg not centered anymore. Add margin (or whatever that inside margin is called), and tada, not centered.
