it's been really fun to see zines in libraries -- the folks from Swarthmore (swarthmore.edu/news-events/diy) sent me this photo of How Git Works in their zine library

the “How Git Works” zine in front of a sign that says “Zine Library”, as well as many other zines wrapped in plastic and in file folders

If, for the sake of argument, you are one of the lead developers of a prominent DE, and you have an extension store that tracks the number of downloads, please be inclined to treat those numbers as data points as to what features to include in the next release.

When a user downloads an extension, they are telling you: "I use this DE, thankyouverymuch, but I need this functionality in it for it to be complete."

I mean, I like that you're very deliberate in your design choices (that's why I use your DE), but...

If that number on some extension gets *millions* high, then it's one hell of a hint that your DE is incomplete for a lot of people, and something critical is missing, so... get to work!

@drq «seeing those huge download numbers on extension, our team concluded that users are smart enough to use extension store. So, in the next release we're planning to remove ability to open files»

I was told by competent businessmen that I must constantly imagine my goals so that I can materialise them.

I was imagining a big breasted fox girl for the past 6 months and still she had not appeared.

LUV MUVER 2001 :nyombimery:

Conclusion: I was lied to. You cannot wish thoughts into reality.

@Deiru The guy who told you that, missed out the important part:

- getting to actually make or get what you imagine.

I have a feeling that Mastodon and most other projects grew complacent. Not much of new features being developed, and old, long requested ones (like groups or migrations/nomadic identities) are stuck in development hell.

I miss big stuff happening in the Fediverse.

@drq well mastodon != fediverse. Go for some instance with a different software, or at least a different client app. They usually provide more features. Buzz words maybe misskey, pleoroma, pixelfed, ...

Dr. Quadragon ❌

To the fedi devs: please wake the F up, guys... The Fediverse is already great, sure, but it is still very much work in progress!!! We've got things to address! Let's sleep on the laurels later.

Абсолютно отвратительный мультик, к слову. Но мне безумно понравилась башня. Башня - самый интересный персонаж во всем мультике!

@frameworkcomputer Amazing! I'm so happy that I can order a Framework Laptop 13 with the International English Linux keyboard now.

This makes at least 3 companies that ship new production laptops with Super keys that ship easily in the USA: Framework, System76, and Purism.

@frameworkcomputer I'd love to press that super button in Hungary. Please Framework...

Никогда раньше сюда не постил, но есть установочка:

Завтра на 10 утра были взяты два билета в питерскую кунсткамеру, на два человека, лично мной, но номер 2 отвалился с ротовирусной, посему есть место ровно на одного человека.

СПБ, не интересно никому?
Абсолютно бесплатно, по деньгам говно вообще, просто не хочется, чтобы билет пропадал.

@mhoye What did you do? What did you witness? Where can I read about it?

@mhoye

While I completely agree, the problem is that executives only care about short-term profits so will happily guy a company - see: Boeing.

Executives correctly believe that the one and only purpose of a corporation is to make as much money as quickly as possible. Literally nothing else matters. Safety, long-term health of the company, employment, pensions…nope.
