Was this one a drag queen?

The fact that they know they can get away with it plays a big role.

It’s something like

Help > About > Check for updates

My 7.6.0.3 won’t auto update. Says there are no updates available. I’m trying a manual install.

That’s reductive and wrong.

Keeping their jobs, maybe. Avoiding the accusations of “deep state”, no matter how justified they might be in taking action.

Which is kind of weird because most C# devs aren’t doing games.

it all takes more time than everyone assumes

Exactly, and well said.

Yeah, the whole “this is THEIR software and we’re just a few hobby people” struck me.

Aren’t the Lemmy devs in a pretty similar situation? I wouldn’t be surprised if individual instances got more donations than the Lemmy project itself. (And to be clear, I don’t expect any of that is a living wage for someone.)

“Starting from scratch” is usually a pretty naive suggestion for a large project that seems to be functioning well in large scale production.

I do get that there are problems, especially from a moderation perspective. But that’s one scope of a much larger project.

Pointing fingers seems less productive than pull requests and/or patience. And I’d be surprised if there were other, open software available that has the same functionality outside of the fediverse.

I know of the issue with decommissioned servers, which has been resolved. I’ve seen the instances crashing less and less over time. I’ve experienced the software responding faster and more reliably. So I’ve seen some amount of progress. The project isn’t dead. In fact you can watch what they’re doing at their GitHub link. It’s very, very active.

The way things like this tend to be done at scale is to rewrite one part at a time, however you can break it up.

With wider, faster roads and larger cars the motorbikes are a death trap.

Not if you want to push the site hard to the right!

Keep in mind that in these situations it’s not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they’re the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.

Or maybe they’re just an ass. Can really go either way.

If I clone the repo I expect everything to work, including the readme.

It doesn’t matter if it is. The way to do that is to increase your prices, not with hidden fees.

Web Dev can be a focus, but you’re still just looking at development in general.

Any time in the past 40 years I would have told you absolutely. How things are going to turn out in the next couple years I couldn’t tell you for sure.

About half a million tech workers have been laid off in the US over the past year. I expect salaries to come down, and work/life balance to take a hit. How much of one is still in the air.

In six months it’ll probably be a lot easier to answer this question.

Wow. I’d be self hosting mumble for that. Or using Teams.

It’s great for real time discussion. It’s terrible for anything else.

It’s IRC, not a forum.
