@lispi314@sun the reason i'm so defensive of C++ is because if you go back to the 90s, C++ is just like... fine. just plain Java-like OOP with inheritance and C semantics.
go back in time for javascript and it's always been unusable.
@sun elixir seems really fucking cool. i love the syntax and pure functional is hard to find these days. just wish i had a project that would justify me using it to its fullest potential
@dushman last night i had a dream that you turned out to be the owner of a repository that i was opening a pull request for and i was like "holy shit it's dushman" and then you reviewed my PR and said it wasn't very good for reasons dream me couldn't understand so i was sad but i was still like "holy shit it's still dushman tho" and then i woke up
@ten@dushman@meso this is exactly why i wanna get off of github, cuz people who do not give a shit about what i care about have reactions like this for not participating in the mainstream
@dushman@meso@ten the main reason i'm looking at sourcehut is because it's *basically* a bare-bones git server, but it also comes with a web frontend, mailing list services, and most importantly, a lot of based people associated with it.
my rationalization for staying on github for so long despite hating it was "if i don't use the popular platform nobody will use or contribute to my stuff", but the truth is that nobody was using or contributing to my stuff anyways. i think that going where the people who actually agree with me on bloatfree software design and free software have a much higher chance of actually engaging with me than anyone i could find on github.
plus sourcehut comes with a built-in way to interact with its devs and has super active mailing lists that i could participate in. there's a potential for me to actually become a contributor to something i care about while knowing that my contributions actually directly benefit me.
Agender robot (not a bot).I like philosophy, Rust, VR, women-adjacent entities, and trying to figure out what the fuck the numogram isCheck out my website, it's really cool and I write about philosophy and stuff. Right now it's pretty messy but I'll be cleaning it soon.
