You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
12·7 days agoSounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they’ll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.
What the fuck? I’ve never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos…
Or are those “just” distribution channels aka admin only posts?
Aren’t most of those due to Brazilians? 3M or so?
ATM? Active … Monthly? Can’t make out what it stands for…
Misskey? 🤔 I heard it’s something Japanese? So probably a lot of Japanese fediverse users use it? I don’t think I’ve seen somebody from misskey in my interactions with the fediverse. Are they self-contained or something?
374·7 days agoDecisions like these are why they can’t move away from proprietary platforms. How much does it really cost to host and maintain this? A single employee could host a mastodon, peertube, and lemmy instance. The employee could also work full-time on one of the projects to address issues.
They also only had 6 accounts on the instance - out of how many politicians and bureaus?
Anyway… shame.
How big were the telegram chat rooms? Did they ever get that big? The only chatroom I’ve seen with over 1k people is on matrix and it was relatively quiet. If there’s a 1k limit, probably the admin will have to kick inactive users.
I saw a signal group too. I guess this is going to be the aftermath: piracy messenger wars. What do people talk about in piracy chatrooms anyway?
Glowie? Do people call each other glowsticks nowadays?
Enjoy being rude on github then 🤷 I’m sure your reasons for being mean are justified and help the image of the opensource community 👍
Of course people are not happy with it.
Of course. I’m not happy about many things, but that doesn’t give me the right to harass somebody. Pointing out something politely is very different from jumping on a bandwagon and spamming an issue, or creating meme issues and meme pull requests. We should be better than that.
Is that really what we want? Anything slightly popular making a misstep to be hounded by an online mob?
You’re missing the point. I don’t really care about Winamp. It’s ancient and probably used by about 15 grandpas. The point is the behavior of the people in the issues and pull requests. It’s possible to be polite, but firm and bring a point across. Right now it looks like a pack of dogs barking around thinking they’re witty and clever for doing so.
Projects are not entitled to be received gratefully and respectfully if you treat open source devs like a disposable source of free labour.
Nobody’s forcing anybody to do anything. You’re not forced to contribute in any way shape or form. Winamp hasn’t hired anybody there to write code under bad conditions. Justifying bad behavior “because the other side is doing it” (which isn’t true btw) is just weak.
Can’t imagine there is any. You need to learn three scripts to read Japanese fluently IINM. Katagana, Hirigana and something else… Probably someone who speaks Japanese can say.
Have looked around lately? This isn’t github.
The open source community is really showing itself from the best side by harassing the devs of that repo. I’m sure the devs don’t regret publishing the code…
Sure, the license isn’t the best, but that’s no way to act. With such childish behaviour from contributors, I’d have just taken the code down again. Bunch of children.
222·9 days agoI know you mean well, but you don’t provide solutions of any kind. Simply saying the equivalent of “we should be better to fellow humans” isn’t going to change the world. It’s a platitude.
How do you propose we help the people currently suffering? We just let them suffer until society figures out how to help them? Unite arms and block suicide machines because “they are an easy way out and we should be helping them instead”? Sure, you’re absolutely right, we should be helping them all now, but that’s not how change works. It’s not immediate. While we figure this stuff out, a bunch of people are going to suffer and die painfully.
Also, even if the cynical ending is “the government promotes suicide to get rid of the weak”, I’d argue it’s better than suffering until death.
I don’t believe you want a genuine answer. You’ve already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won’t agree with it 🤷 There’s no need to continue.
Maven and Cradle might be terrible, but C and C++ have fucking nothing in terms of dependency management. Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something. C and C++ are such a shit show to build. It’s so bad they had to invent languages to build them and they regularly fuck up (CMake, make, bison, scons, meson, …).
Pull a C or C++ project on a distro or environment and try to build it and you have to dive in the abyss of undeclared dependencies. And good fucking luck with glibc and glib dependencies. If the dev doesn’t know which version they were actually using, it’s up to you to find out. Fun for the entire family!
