rewatching the hbomb cad video and maybe understanding it a bit better

shork boosted

Now that the twist is out I've renamed the CAD video and also picked a new thumbnail for it
This doubles as getting to reuse the original sonic one for the next sla!
new and old thumbs for comparison, new one hasn't populated yet

#Forkoff 

is not about trends, it's not about any feature, it's about project governance. I get that Mastodon is Garg's baby and he wants to keep the last word over it. But then don't be surprised if people look for an alternative

“DESIGN FOR DEBATE
When designers take responsibility for designing a debate, running a debate and following through on the decisions that emerge from the debate.
Debates do not merely arise as a result of some designed artifact, no matter how critical, speculative, futural or fictional. Debates are things that designers need to make happen, things that are difficult to design and take a long time to design.”
Not so unrelated to #forkOff

fork things 

i think the most important thing i can say at this point is that if you want a project with good or really any governance, glitchsoc isn't the thing you're looking for.

so if you want a fork with governance, you're gonna have to make one

and that's cool i encourage you to do so

i don't have a lot of advice about how to do that other than to think carefully about who or what your fork is FOR

i'm too tired for any of this stuff so please leave me out of it

good luck~

#ForkOff / Forking is hostile 

@maloki The word "governance" is key. Forking the software would be pointless without establishing the social infrastructure first. And that means all the boring-but-essential stuff: bylaws, a code of conduct, how to handle RFCs, something like a Board of Directors, etc. Otherwise, it's just Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V.

#ForkOff / Forking is hostile 

If Forking is Hostile, The Act of Telling someone to #ForkOff is equally hostile.

So. You know.

Gargamel asked us to #ForkOff, and here we are.

And if anyone needs receipts:

Open Source Dev Musings / Fork-off 

But what if you're not alone?

What if so many of us have been told to #ForkOff that we together possess enough knowledge and experiences that we can go forward with this project?

What if we survey the battlefield (because that's what it felt like today) and see what we can contribute, together?

Open Source Dev Musings / Fork-off 

When someone tells you to "Just fork it" it is always a power play from their side. They are saying it because they know that you alone can't do anything about it.

They know you can't fork it if you're not a coder.

They know you can't fork it if you only understand front-end stuff.

They know you can't fork it alone.

Telling someone you know can't fork it to do it is equivalent to Fuck off, or #ForkOff as some other people said it.

oooh, the Android autofill thingy does work with other password managers, I hope they add that feature to Firefox mobile

An instance as large as mastosoc should maybe not run release candidates :thaenkin:

the only thing I have to say re: discourse 

I really hope when <new feature> inevitably gets abused it's something harmless like the giant DM and not, like, a harassment campaign

hey Google maybe you should let people install fonts on their phones, assholes
