Great write-up! The biggest bugs always end up being the “simplest”/one-line things lol

Sure but it still requires trusting them when they pinky promise they won’t send any recall data. Fuck them tbh. It just makes me feel even more right about my decision to switch to Linux years ago.
If you save it on your computer instead of on their servers, how could they possibly be expected to analyze your data? Come on now, be reasonable!
Until you step on the owners dog.
The scary thing is some people actually believe this, and NIH syndrome is unfortunately all too real lol
Everyone I know switched to IntelliJ though I’d still use Eclipse if IntelliJ didn’t exist tbh. IntelliJ is just too good.
True, the real danger is using git reset with the --hard flag when you haven’t committed your changes lol
Except if there was only one zone of time that would be hell to program too because then you would need to check for different times of day for different locations. I think programming is just difficult lol
Non-technical project managers are the worst lol
To be fair, open-source developers get death threats too unfortunately.
As a full stack developer (more experienced in back end) working on a full stack task at work I can confirm, yes, this is very true lmao.
It just so happens to be where all our users end up anyway so for us it’s been okay for the most part. Having moderator commands for frequently asked questions, and automating frequently asked questions tends to help even more. Discord also seems to work well for projects far larger than ours, ones like RPCS3 etc.
For the main project I’m a maintainer on we do have forums too but they’re pretty dead, we mostly just use Discord because that’s what everyone else seems to be using.
Do they pay him though?
No worries, glad to hear you got it up and running again :)
That would be so cool, and that will also never ever ever happen.
Actually even a few dropped packets is too many in IT IMO lol
Also the benefit of GitHub pages with the text being stored open-source is if they ever do the Artic Code Vault again, that could in theory last for over 1000 years: https://archiveprogram.github.com/
I think it’s honestly a good way for them to die out. They’re basically a niche of a niche of a niche at this point, and that’s unfortunately probably not the most sustainable thing long-term.
With that said, maybe they are fine with that.
Timezones are kind of a necessary evil though, because without them then you’d have to check regions (or zones) to see if 1PM in China is the same thing as 1PM in Australia is the same thing as 1PM in Bolivia.
