Software engineers really be joining forces with the gamer crowd to scream "no politics in my <s>video games</s> oss projects"
My sister in christ making your software open is in itself already a political act, get your goddarn head outta the gutter and look at the world around you, stare your fellow humans in the eyes for just a second and think, before you decide to throw your entire being into the meat crunching machine to feed the pigs above
It is craaazy to me that there just isn't a way to back up your #android phone anymore at all. You seemingly can't make a full image of your phone without rooting it (which breaks various apps :sigh:) and every fucking thread just talks about the integrated cloud backup, which does not back up app data at all, so every time you """restore""" you gotta set up every bloody app again and log in again and do all the fucking shit again.
I want to image my phone so I can return to the same exact spot
Okey, so, #mastodon and #activitypub knowers: is there an established procedure for changing your server's domain?
I understand this case is (unfortunately) not covered by the protocol, and thus is not doable optimally. I don't care about that, I just want to know the closest to optimal method.
Is there some way to set up another instance on the new domain and migrate all the data over? Make some kinda redirect before ultimately abandoning the old domain some years down the road?
I hadn't gotten these kinds of belittling shit replies from random people in a good while and thought maybe the situation had actually gotten better, but clearly not.
Clearly I had just gotten lucky in the time between.
So it looks like the #sbcl project is getting sloppified. Very, very saddening to see. It feels like something is slipping through my fingers, so I thought I should say something publicly.
Evidently Christophe is not interested in shutting this crap down, and when I read his email about it, I pretty much gave up on saying something myself. His stance is hopelessly naïve, and this is only being shown now.
As soon as you get these idiots a gap, they'll wedge it open, and it's already happened.
I very sourly remember my own attempt at contributing to sbcl and getting shut down by Christophe, so I don't really care to get myself involved again -- I don't have the energy to be confrontational about it.
If course can be reversed on this, that would be very nice, but I neither have the "project clout" nor the mind to get into a bunch of fights and make myself even less popular to try and steer this ship into a more reasonable direction again.
MS is still doing the same thing it's been doing for all of its existence: buying up competition, saying they're gonna improve it, then kill it a couple years after
idk why people are still surprised all these decades later.
I make games, draw, write, and publish software.
