Why are you doing all project management in Discord?
Six sided devops engineer and baseball fan
I am also @Quill7513@slrpnk.net, but this is my primary and more active account. The slrpnk.net account is for ecology and lemmy.world stuff

Why are you doing all project management in Discord?
If someone’s downloading a github repo as a zip I’d consider that a sign they’re not familiar with github lol
I’m sure that if I make a folk replacing the flag with nyancat, davel@lemmy.ml won’t come to tell me that I should change the license and make warnings to those who report it, but to delete worthless nonsense.
This is the only strawman argument I’ve seen in this thread
Mate. You’re the one who says this open source app isn’t relevant to a community discussing open source software. The burden of proof is on you to prove its not relevant. If anything this project is as core to open source as it gets. This person wanted to explore a part of their computer system, picked a target for how to make something happen, did it, and then shared it.
Concluding that you’re a homophobe isn’t based on ad hominem attacks or straw man arguments. Its based on that you have NOTHING substantial to say that this doesn’t belong so the rest of us have to figure out what the hangup is and the only thing we can figure out is that its controversial because its about LGBTQIA+ pride and you don’t like that. We’d love to reach a different conclusion but you haven’t given us a lot to work with
Kinda seems like that’s everyone who has a hangup on this’ REAL hangup, doesn’t it
How is this not relevant to open source ideology?
Some stuff won’t work such as android auto
Their packages are consistently named differently than their Ubuntu/Debian counterpart
I agree with all your points, but this one has way more to do with Debian being a bunch of weirdos about how packages are packaged. Its really more of a Debian demerit than anything since sometimes their packaging practices can be somewhat hostile to projects not directly associated with Debian, especially since the Debian community can have a certain “Our way is the only right way” attitude. That said, the Debian packaging standards can make it easier as a developer to experiment with creating a software package to interact with an existing package. Like there’s a reason to do it that I can support and I wish Debian packagers would more often say “we package things like this so people can experiment” instead of “Everyone else does packaging wrong and our way is the only way”
Its not a good noob distro. Its a test bed development distro. There are going to be things in Fedora that are broken on account of those things being in development. I believe there’s a rolling release now which improves the lack of long term releases, but for a long time trying to auto upgrade between point releases was a fast track to the very worst time of your life.
Then there’s the question of whether or not its association with Redhat and IBM makes it a safe choice long term given that they’ve gone full hostile. I just don’t see the benefit to going with Fedora as a noob instead of something designed for noobs like LMDE
Cool. Back into COVID-19 hibernation for me
Also that wasn’t me trying to be a dick. I realized I might have come across as a dick there. I just meant to be supporting your idea
That falls under the subheading “however we can”
No, its the asshole CEOs very specifically who will survive the climate catastrophe and any other societal systemic failures. They’ve insulated themselves from consequences by hoarding material wealth, and when they can’t do that, fiat wealth to represent material wealth. In 2008, we even bailed them out “oh that last thing you tried didn’t work? Here. Here’s a bunch of money we took from society as a whole. Enjoy your golden parachutes. You’ll need them later”
As a populace we need to start showing up in the streets and obstructing these fuckers wealth streams however we can
I also hate that the grammatical standard for all cap pluralization is to include an apostrophe. What is it the Oakland A’s possess!?
Less hardware support than Linux without enough substantially better about it to make it anyone’s clear preference. Which isn’t to say it doesn’t have advantages over Linux. Just that the average BSD user is going to be able to easily swallow their pride and run Linux if things went wrong with a BSD install (trust me, I’ve literally done this, these people do exist)
