I totally understand but unfortunately sometimes “it is, what it is”

Don’t do this. Don’t publish documents online where everyone can get to it. Best, don’t put documents on the internet at all, even behind a password

This comm has in the rules “community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub”. So posts like this are going to be received poorly here

If you are for real, I think, in presents for parents it’s not about what exactly you buy. It’s about the caring thought. Maybe the guitar would have made her happy and you had a plan to get it. But the plan fell short. It happens. Instead of getting tunnel-visioned on the plan I propose you to think what else could you get her that would make her happy with the funds you have. And next year, start saving another month earlier. Maybe that plan will pan out

Ah, but you see “asshole with a lifetime of poor emotional self regulation” is not “scheming fascist with an agenda”. That’s what I’m arguing with in your take

And in the scope of the question, which used plural “devs losing their minds”, I think that it would be a vilification to effectively say “they snap because they are fascists”

There are and will be non-fascist (and IMO also non-asshole) devs who snap. And I think some times it will be because of the feeling of responsibility for something, “either I fix it or it won’t get fixed” situation, lack of social/team/peer safety net, … (in my first comment I tried to rather portray the situation than name all those things because I just can’t name all of them)

The question I responded to was rather a general one. And I think that seeing all dev-related dramas as “that guy was just fascist all along” is similar to saying “all X are thieves” - a simplification that is easy to choose because it addresses our emotions regarding what has happened but not necessarily always the best explanation

That is when they have a meltdown and quit the project because demand for bug fixes or new features it too much pressure.

That requires self-awareness to ask oneself “maybe I need a break?” and I think such decision can be hard to make due to sunken cost fallacy. I think that with the pressure of the pings about bugs and requests etc, it’s easy to get into mindset of “it’s either on or off” with nothing in between. Because 5 bugs solved means only 3 other to go.
And the second option is to dig in harder and in this case “curate the feed. All of it. Whatever that means”

I’m not saying that that person did not act out of an agenda. But I can imagine a set of choices that lead to a catastrophic breaking point

I think it’s the pressure and the solo developer model

You put something out. It seems to be running. There are bugs. You fix them. There are more bugs (pareto is a PITA). You fix them too. Someone accuses you of sacrificing kittens in the basement. There are ideas for features and more bugs. Some worded in an entitled or just tone-deaf way. Very often you’re the only one working on the project and saying “I accept PRs” somehow became received as a FU. It becomes hard to put the project away for just a week
You are perpetually in “I-fix-it” mode
Not to mention that in order to even start a project like that one needs to have at least a bit of “fuck it, I’ll do it myself” mentality

It’s a pity that !unfinishedprojects@forum.unfinishedprojects.net wound down. I hoped it might have been a space for projects to find communities. As we see around, it doesn’t require a 10 person team with a kanban board to write something that works. But on the other side of the spectrum I think a project needs some sort of community around it. So even if there’s only one dev, someone else could write the tutorials, less technical parts of docs, help new deployments etc

Well, they only say they won’t work on it. But can we keep it alive as community without forking?

It happens. Just temporarily switch to another instance
Oh, wait…

I hope Logseq OG will be accepting PRs. I’d hate to go back to Obsidian

Well, DDG’s AI got poisoned sometime last week by Reddit saying Trump was bitten by IIRC Vance

The content is going to be both text-based and media like videos pictures etc. Currently we are on a telegram super group but that doesn’t cut it and can be lost. Is piefed or Lemmy a good fit for this? I have been here since 2023 and I think it would be. One other issue is privacy the identity of the members should be protected at all costs.

If this is only for having a place to socialize, Fedi will work

But if you want privacy, maybe check out delta chat? https://chatmail.at/doc/relay/getting_started.html
You probably will still need a domain for the relay and somewhere to run it but when used in one account mode, delta relay stores nothing on users. It only relays the messages

They probably won’t even start looking for them

And I’m afraid of the opposite: that most will just upload their IDs everywhere and allow “you don’t have to worry if you have nothing to hide” to become accepted stance

I’ve moved to Fennec and I’m very happy with it. If only it had Zen’s workspaces it would be absolutely god-like

I saw that. But while the text suggests the initiative is connected to EU, I don’t see something making it certain

Hold on. That page is someone wishing all this were true or it’s actually happening?

If they could be using web UI (I’m not sure how a client would work with auth like that) then it kind of depends on how much hassle they can live with and how secure you want to be

Simplest would be to use https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/routing-configuration/http/middlewares/basicauth/
You set up username and password and share those with the user. But it can be brute-forced

Something more secure but also a bit more demanding would be some kind of email otp
https://docs.goauthentik.io/add-secure-apps/flows-stages/stages/authenticator_email/
Set up authentik to send time-limited link to their email that well let them through. But they would have to authenticate every time they access

I think that’s why wording mentions friends not a public service

I’m afraid that with applications it would end up with the same situation we have now. 2-3 people per instance

For sure only local accounts should have voting rights

I was rather thinking about reports also having votes
