I don’t even see the bot from here. Bleeeeeh maybe I just need to give up and jump ship to a Lemmy instance 😅 Is not your fault, of course.

I don’t think I’d encountered any such commagazines (why’d they have to be named both?!) and that’s why I was excited to learn about the one you mentioned. I’ve already started peeking around in there and finding some interesting tidbits :3

Interesting commagazine! … I don’t seem to be able to get to it through kbin :( Am already digging around in there, though, so thanks for the tip :3

Some fun stack-based concatenative language (like Forth or Min) :3 I like playing with odd/new-to-me things that change how I have to approach things in some way. … Also I wanna find a Forth community I can stand 😅 That or maybe a similar low-level language, I suppose. I was thinking of using it for a project but… eegh. Bleh. Et cetera. Still might, but purely on my own terms I guess.

Also, more Haskell please >:3 Or something else like it. We must spread the glory of FP nerdery @.@ …And maybe get some more useful (and maintained) packages to work with instead of just kinda having to wonder what even builds any more v.v

Whew, here I was thinking it might be cool to try to contribute to some project, maybe even Linux! This thread shall serve as my reminder to never do that because that’s for god-tier emotionless techbros only.

[Sarcasm] Remember, being a dick to people is the only way to ensure that you’re caring about the code enough!

“It won’t go lower than $5!”
“Uuugghhh, fine, give them five.”
“Alright, we’re on the supporters list”
“Great, issue a press release telling everyone how great we are for giving back.”

DDD? Dunno if that’s to your taste, nor what state it’s in lately but… maybe it qualifies? :3

still fundamentally need to sell

[Sarcasm] Unlike companies, which are apparently altruistic organizations that exist for the betterment of humanity! It’s all those fools who keep yelling “companies exist to make money” who are wrong. Yeah, that must be it. Tech companies charge because they’re good, whilst various writers give away some, much, most, or all of their work because they’re evil! Sharing is DEATH, kids!

Sorry, I went off a bit there because I’m frustrated at how committed you are to your bad ideas. Also textbooks also have to be sold, at least here in the US where many are (were?) tailored to the anti-education pro-horsecrap preferences of Texas.

Side thing: I’m becoming increasingly convinced that FaceDeer as an account/persona/whatever exists specifically to be mildly irritating. Is that true? Would you admit it if it were?

Took me a while to see it 😅Well spotted.

Well, actually it’s a shower and not a well, but you get the idea.

Amusing to see a link to “Dev Interrupted” that gets interrupted partway through the development of its title :D

Very this :-\ Seems like most people think the whole this is just distributed Reddit and make a bunch of assumptions mostly based around Reddit (or assumptions themselves sourced or derived from Reddit)

Also, this obsession like “number get big! Bigger number! BIG BIG NUMBER!!” is hella irritating and wrong. “More users” isn’t the answer to “how do we get active niche communities” and even some of the people acting like it is will admit that only a few users even contribute. Maybe we could hope for quality instead of just blindly chasing quantity. Maybe 80k active critters (just making up a goal and some numbers here, to illustrate) isn’t so much worse than 1M meme-bots and 100k active critters? Maybe this can be the place for people who are seriously interested in Community/Magazine topics and not just every bot or butthead who’s heard of, say, Arduinos or volleyball or woodcraft.

In other words, instead of hoping for incidental gains by filling up with random bellends, maybe getting the ones who matter over here will leave us with a leaner environment of no less utility. … You know, after it’s been more than a couple of weeks since the initial exodus, after there’s been time for any kind of community or at least thread history/catalog/collection to even develop.
