The social ecosystem around FOSS is so horribly toxic. There’s an “upper middle class” of power user that aren’t quite developers, that insult everyone with less experience, and openly harass the developers themselves. I honestly don’t know how FOSS can expand adoption as long as these people exist. They are a dual-edged sword that disincentivizes both new adoptees and long term app support.

why do gamers™ always assume everything is created for them

let people enjoy things

why make this at all?

Wow thank you for your work 🙏

Eh, you’re not wrong but OP also picked a bad example.

I’m listening…

N64, Dreamcast and Saturn be like 😠

😂 It wasn’t until I was finished typing out my comment that I realized I was doing the classic Lemmy thing of just wholly ignoring OP and ranting about something tangential.

I may not be able to control myself but at least I can acknowledge my poor behavior!

If one wanted to avoid using for free anything that had a fascists hand in it’s creation you’d be living in a mud hut. Seriously.

I can’t help you so I’m going to rant about something not related.

Gramps is great once it’s up and running but it’s so frustrating that you cant add a person and just add a residence or wedding date or birth. Noooo, you need to create the events and locations first and then create the person and link the events to them.

Which is basically the opposite way humans think about lifetimes. I would kill for a feature of “Create new birth/wedding/etc event” from the person page.

I’m confused, Omarchy is MIT licensed. It means you can use it and keep all the rights. You are under no obligation to financially or politically support the people who contribute code and they do not get a say with how you use the software.

EDIT: Also literally posting this to a Lemmy instance…

stop? 👉👈 🥺 why UwU? me do wrong?

It absolutely is. Another benefit of federation is that it means we can report OP to our own instances.

You: “Now listen child, and heed my tale of woe…”

Them: “drop it one banana”

boooo

I stand corrected! Thanks for pointing that out.

A standalone forum is an interesting choice in 2026 when ActivityPub forum software exists.

Looks like there is a Piefed and Lemmy.world community too.

Is this the Google Keep replacement we’ve all been waiting for?

Yeah the best option is the old PC you already have. Unless you’re transcoding video or into LLMs it will be more than enough.

I have to ask how does someone behave trans lol
