Serious question: how stupid would it be to affix a Qi charger pad to my wireless headphones and plug into the USB port?

like I get that this is more work, I really do, but the thought of responding with …that, and not with something like “I don’t currently maintain a changelog, but if you could help me get it started that’d be a good motivator to continue!”, you just might be an arsehole?

when someone asks you to consider writing any sort of changelog in your project which uses semantic versioning, and you are absolutely, definitely acting in good faith as a project maintainer

I like how instead of smoothly streaming and occasionally rolling an ad, the Twitch iOS app has decided that it should periodically throw out its entire streaming cache to check if there’s an ad and then resume from the last iframe when there wasn’t one to show at all

I feel like “hey, if you set up your cross compiler in a Dockerfile, it will mean that anyone can pull that down and contribute, no matter what OS and toolchains they have on their host system already” is reasonable, but?
