Amazing

That’s when you know the shit is good, and I’m not kidding

Large Brain Move

That’s every software engineer’s endgame, better to get ahead of the game now 😤

Love you for making me discover the whole Serious People thing, can appropriately call it a goldcoalmine

Hope they learn the hard way to stay away from overly powerful centralised systems, I can see that, probably, when they made their choice, the stance of the service seemed good enough to bite the bullet and have a convenient setup, but we’ve seen time and time again how corporate will comply with governments as they rightly have to do, only privately can you really not care, though you also take the responsibility for that. What we can hope is that decentralisation makes the crackdown harder to put into effect

This makes me physically uncomfortable >:(

I prefer to ride my seals into battle

No, no, you should group the return false lines together 😤😤

if (number == 1) return false;
else if (number == 3) return false;
else if (number == 5) return false;
//...
else if (number == 2) return true;
else if (number == 4) return true;
//...

100% agreed, use the right tool for the right job, that’s what the author doesn’t get

This is just one of the comments on the Revolt E2EE issue, I guess the author felt so proud of their opinion to make it into a blog post, I wouldn’t say anything if they at least revisited the whole discussion and tried to make a reasonable summary.
The argument provided in the article against features is simply “too hard to develop, too hard to maintain, nobody cares enough”.
If nobody cared, nobody would go on Matrix, if everything that was hard to develop were just dropped before even trying, we would have stopped at the hello world (not implying I’m not a lazy developer, but I surely don’t want to imply that there aren’t brilliant people out there who can undertake scarily big tasks).
Giving another feature as a sort of replacement: federated identities, is not a replacement at all, it’s a completely different scope. I just can’t empathise with the point that they try to make

Why is Denny DeVito a free software advocate now?

FLOSS program called “TIPP10”

Looks cool! Just weird that it doesn’t provide the code hosted on a forge and gives a download of the source instead

That sucks majorly, I knew GitLab isn’t our friend, but to plain dismiss a development effort that didn’t even come from their own employees is just spitting in our face.
Forgejo federation can’t come any sooner ✊

Pulls out sword

Roll the credits boys 👏👏

when during job interview the recruiter ask if you code on the weekend

I think it’s more to see if you’re actually passionate about what you do and you don’t “just” do it for work, which definitely is a bit of a twisted view, when on average you’ll already be spending 40 hours a week doing that, but I think people tend to make this sort of evaluation, because people who love programming so much to also do it on their free time will usually be better, since they simply have more experience than those who only do what they’re assigned to do

This is just a shame :/

I rudely agree with your opinion
