man these AI fanatics are cringe

this is so insufferable i'm not sure i believe they're real

why on earth do font pack upgrades need to be part of full system updates.

i do not know where you get that impression. antisemitism, conspiracy theories and general racism are soooo common if you just browse one of the public feeds on primal, ditto etc. not to mention like 1 in 5 posts are just bitcoin posting.

we do have instances of fascist chuds on ActivityPub, but they're at least a little less easy to run into if you go to our equivalent of a public firehose like mastodon.social.

i will say there's parts of the nostr protocol i prefer over ActivtyPub, but you'll never catch me anywhere near that nazi bar

we made some recent changes to our S3 storage driver in v0.20.2, please do let us know how you get on with it and if there's anything more we can do to help!

bang-on. given he's going to continue working on the project, the payday I'm a bit dubious of.

EDIT: honestly it continues to back up the opinion i've had of Eugen's leading of mastodon for a long time. dubious, i wish he'd focus less on growth, but ultimately we could have done so much worse with our BDFL (well, not so much for life anymore lol)

gugal being a bit frugal with their releases

taking money from the crypto industry isn't a requirement to work on an open source project in a meaningful way. i would know, i maintain a well known open-source project in the same ecosystem for which we receive a grant (and so do they! they're receiving from the same fund). and previously we worked for multiple years on our project around regular jobs. yes we could reach out for better funding opportunities working with people we don't agree with, but we have a moral backbone lol.

if you read the "proof of forestry" Google groups link authored by Christine you'll see she's not looking at (or working with) the crypto industry in any kind of useful context.

edit: i'm sorry if this reply comes off as a bit hostile. i'm just tired of so much of the software industry being spineless complaining about how shit companies are while actively contributing to them because it comes with a nice round paycheck.

indeed it is :/. i only ended up finding out as i was interested too and looking into it.

the funny thing is we've had that CoC for literally years https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pulls/2090

it only kicked-off as we kicked a user off our repo for trying to submit LLM-generated code, prompting the icecubes client dev to throw a shit-fit over it.

just a reminder that spritely has ties to the crypto industry. the protocol they're based on is developed and used between themselves and a crypto company, Agoric.
