Why are you paying these oligarchs at all? Pirate your music

Hail the victorious devs!

How did you document this so quickly?

Yes, it’s the “original” instance

I didn’t realize it was still edgy to dunk on corporations

Maybe ask your teenage kids what they think

Sure bud. BMW is on your side.

Have you considered applying for a FUTO grant?

I’ve donated plenty to Lemmy with crypto, and the article you linked addressed none of the reasons I use it (privacy, anyone?). So while it’s cool you’re passionately against crypto, I think Lemmy is getting more out of it than it’s lost

If the Lemmy admins adhered to everyone’s request to “stop doing X and I’ll donate”, they would end up with zero more donations because people will always give another reason for not donating

There are donors from both of their communities

The lemmy.ml instance costs like 30$/month to run. Your donation isn’t going to that; your donation is going to develop Lemmy itself

Lemmy default UI should seriously consider a daily donation goal, similar to old Reddit. Implement a backend API to fetch the daily amount needed and the current amount donated, and stick it on the right hand side by all the trending communities. As a stats nerd, this would seriously motivate me to donate more.

Are you sure the donation beg isn’t customizable? I don’t see it on Lemmy.ml

I’ve previously worked in anti-scraping. There is a negative 0% chance the Lemmy devs have the resources to effectively do this without tanking the server for everyone else.

1. From a code architecture perspective, how close is Lemmy/ActivityPub to reaching its maximum capacity for posts/comments per second? Are there any ways to 10x the load ActivityPub can handle?
2. With Nicole in everyone’s DMs, what does the future of spam filtering look like on Lemmy?

It’s the President’s own company, it will go back up

Lemmy is slowly shifting from “Communism, Linux, and Beans” into “ADHD, Linux, and Beans”

Inherits ‘maintainer’ status on an open-source pony-themed RPG dating simulator

For anyone in the industry out there, if someone has ‘maintainer’ status on an open source project, hire that mofo right away. That title sounds so casual but is the most hardcore

Breakfast at work is one thing, breakfast before work is a whole nother level of time commitment. I’m pretty sure I started skipping breakfast around the time I started working a 9-5

I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren’t finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren’t interested in creating a second account.

We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.
