It was some random idiot on the web talking shit. Even worse, it was an idiot on Twitter, the shithole of the internet. There’s no need to address them. Most people didn’t even know what the context was. Addressing it just gave more “publicity” to them.
It’s not even poking the hornet’s nest, it’s a calling out to a haggle of trolls. Fuck those people. Don’t give them attention.
That tweet was going to bring the trolls out. Why make it in the first place? It’s just there to cause drama.
pyenv, virtualenv, pipenv, aren’t package managers… they are virtual environment managers / creators and use pip for package management.
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!
I just disabled balloo. It has never served me any purpose and I’ve never found a good description of what it does. It has never completed indexing of my files and would always start indexing (seemingly) randomly after failing.
Baloo is off on every KDE desktop I’ve set up (mine, friends, and family).
I either missed it or it isn’t in the “developer tools” section: how do you connect this to an IDE or editor with an LSP or DAP? The image might have python:3.12 but locally you only have python:3.6 mind you, so it’s not something one can ignore. How do you handle this?
“Be nice”
No I want to be an asshole because I think they are assholes
“That’s not very nice”
don’t punch down
Wat?
Sounds 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?
Decisions 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.
Is zig memory safe by design? If not, rust will “win”. Large companies aren’t going to hire for an unknown or unpopular memory unsafe language when they already have C or C++ - there’s just no contest.
Last I read, zig didn’t even have a standard string library. Unless that changes, it won’t even be a viable alternative to C/C++.
Edit: I checked and got this
