@brainblasted the efforts of a single user can greatly benefit the entire network. It applies for non-fascist uses as much as it does for fascists. Not all of them have to know software development to take advantage of their commons.

@brainblasted trivially harder. It's trivial for any user of Gab to fork an open source project and tell everyone else on Gab to use it instead, even if the upstream project blocked the domain. It's like a one line change and signing up for Play Store distribution and then every fascist developer there can help otherwise stay in sync with upstream.

Then Fedilab runs the risk of being overtaken in popularity by the fork.

This behavior of eviscerating people who do not fall in-line is both unnecessary and frankly dangerous to the well-being of this network.

Yup, I'm coming out of the woodwork for this one.

Fedilab choosing or not choosing to block a domain has very little impact on nazis accessing the fediverse. There is literally nothing stopping them from circumventing any performative block done on the client level, because any of them can just fork and publish their own client.

Shouting down a developer for choosing not to take action against this is not anywhere close to the gravity some of y'all are inflating it to be.

okay, yup, I'm not convinced the spark community at large really thinks testing is necessary, so I am not going to bother anymore

For some reason, when it comes to Spark, everyone gets so caught up in the analytics that they forget about the great software engineering practices that emerged the last 15 years or so.

lol, i love this quote so much, fuck

how the fuck are you supposed to unit test any of this

Show thread

who the fuck decided underscores underline double underscores bold and ... asterisks italicize???

fucking squints that Hadoop doesn't have a fucking filesystem driver for the classpath for unit tests?

do big data engineers not fucking write unit tests??

dude who designed spring dependency injection. what the fuck. it has too many features

A team that does not write unit tests is not agile but rather reckless

had no idea AVGN got the pepsiman tv guy in his video

you ever think about how every flagship pokemon game on the 3ds doesn't support 3d despite Nintendo's insistence on developers using it

Show thread

you ever think about how goddamn weird the 3DS was for having a "3D" screen and yet nobody even bats an eye about it anymore
