Uh… do I need to see the code of Microslop Office to observe its behavior?

To the linux community? Maybe if you want to reach fascists in Linux, but the rest?

What I encountered in 2023–2024 was not occasional edge cases, but a steady stream of symptoms from a system that had never been allowed to stabilize, despite the foundations, namely the hypervisor and Windows OS, being robust.

Lol, Windows OS is robust.

Wy are these people still on xitter? I simply do not understand it.

The steam community forums are a disaster 😅

Communick is fascist? Where did you get that information?

He steam community forums are a disaster 😅

No need to do it yourself. Let someone do it for you. There’s Communickwhich can also setup a matrix server for you (in addition to Lemmy). There might be others, but I dont know of them.

I think it’s the cost of a Netflix subscription.

Yep, signing is mandatory, according to the docs. It’s necessary for updating the app. You don’t have to use Google, you can self-sign it.

Thanks. I had to use a VPN. No idea why it’s banning my IP. There can’t be too many people in this building using the fediverse.

Codeberg or gitlab as a source forge. Depending on how private you are, you can start a fresh git repository, then your private history won’t be exposed.

Otherwise, a license and gitignore file and you’re done. Maybe a README if you fancy. And if you want to go overboard, add the apk or request for it to be put on F-Droid

That has templates.

Image gone 🤕 Did Microslop slopify VSCode?

Tragic. Now the floor will be raised and they will have to innovate. Truly tragic

Radicle, codeberg, gitlab, sourcehut, tale your pick. Github isn’t the only option. Far from it.

I’d have to find their blog post again where they reveal their financials. IIRC it was 50 staff and each was earning half a million or something on average. Maybe I read or remember it wrong but the blog post or comments by Signal staff (maybe even the CEO?) were quite elitist regarding their reasons for hiring US staff or staff living in the US only.

What the true reasons are I dont know. Maybe indeed multinational hiring is just too complicated, who knows, but the way the responses were worded were maybe unfortunate, but at revealing for me.

I donate at least 1k a year to opensource. There is no shortage of good opensource projects deserving donations; good in the sense of quality and those that fit into my worldview.

I’m a fierce believer in remunerating opensource and of way stronger political opinions. What I won’t donate to, is this idea that the US is the only place on the planet where skilled workers exist that can do this type of work. Orgs believing in US execeptionalism are great. Go be exceptional, just without my money. They won’t miss it.

I try and donate where I can, but stuff like Signal, that refuses to employ engineers outside of the US because “talent doesn’t exist anywhere else” is where I draw the line. Yes, opensource donations are amazing, but not for projects with attitudes like that.

Straight into the gutter

And it can fuck right off.
