@Johann150 (The underlying assumption here is that other devs might be frustrated with the state of things, but do not have enough energy/experience to organize a fork themselves, and so are letting it slide)

@Johann150 Of course, if the rest of the dev team is pretty much okay with the current situation, it becomes much harder.

@Johann150 I think it'd mostly depend on how the rest of the dev team and also the wider contributor community feel about things - if there's some degree of shared disgruntlement over slow review, then "here's a fork that will merge your changes faster, and I'd like the existing dev team to get involved in its governance" can be a very attractive option. And you can 'seed' that by picking out some of the good lingering PRs yourself and merging them already.

@thufie Or alternatively, for maximum "jank that somehow mostly works", there's always Puppy Linux

@thufie If a puzzle box for every system change is an acceptable substitute, I have a NixOS to offer

@Johann150 Particularly that last point has frequently led to successful forks of projects in the past (see eg. Gitea)

- syuilo making a PR that adds (non-configurable, permanent) logging of IP addresses to misskey
- syuilo made a PR about AI image classification as NSFW that can be used as upload filter
- the google integration was a big point of contention in the past
- syuilo claims in the contribution guide that he is the best person that has an overview of the code base and is therefore the only person allowed to merge things. yet merging takes forever. even for very simple changes that have been reviewed by multiple other people on the misskey-dev team

i really wonder how much more it will take so i will actually fork misskey. but if i'm alone i'll not end up much better either.

Violate one license and you’re a criminal. Violate every license and you’re an AI.

Explored github copilot,a paid service, to see if it encodes code from repositories w/ restrictive licenses.

I checked if it had code I had written at my previous employer that has a license allowing its use only for free games and requiring attaching the license.
yeah it does

Unions are good actually

i'm not even a front end dev I do both about equally but even the language i do backend in will just get lumped in with "frontend language bad"

lol i absolutely do not 'have to get covid at some point'

git barely works because my adhd makes me work on 1984104812 things at the same time, in the same codebase, usually depending on each other too

nl pol, police violence 

@StroomAfwaarts @joepie91 Actually, Code Rood / Shell Must Fall did that in May 2021. Renting a truck with a wrecking ball (see photo) when protesting at the Shell HQ in The Hague. The police didn't do anything, so I think you are on to something. 😉

Update: farmers are blocking the highways *again*. Cops still refusing the do anything about it. Instead, they arrested 22 climate activists doing a peaceful sit-in at a tax authority office.

@maia Yep, works with a lot of debt collectors too! Bonus tactic: call them, and be perfectly polite yet assertive and formal, never yelling at them but also never accepting what they say, and eventually you're costing them so much support time that they'll just strike your debt to get rid of you
