automatisms . . . are a big part of . . . life
It's kinda funny but I get second-hand stage fright when watching concerts. I'm just there thinking "oh no, what if they trip!! what if they sing out of tune accidentally"

Huh. A "This is Nigeria" video inspired by Donald Glover.

Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub
#Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub, and could announce the deal as early as Monday. Bloomberg reports that the software giant has agreed to acquire GitHub, and that the company chose Microsoft partly because of CEO Satya Nadella. Business Insider first reported that Microsoft had been in talks with GitHub recently.

i'm pretty sure MS will actually be great to GitHub and keep it at least as good as it currently is, maybe make sure it lasts a very long time without depending on external funding and stuff like that
The drama around #ForkOff only reinforces my theory that the only healthy way to handle FOSS projects is via multi-stakeholder cooperatives where both devs and users have their say. The amount of bitterness I'm seeing right now is the most eminent byproduct of the "benevolent dictatorship" model which has been the scourge of the open source world since the beginning of times.
Turn Mastodon into a cooperative NOW!
The beauty of Mastodon is not only that it is free and open but that it’s federated. You can fork it without losing access to the network or your social graph. There’s no reason a hundred forks couldn’t exist.
Also, when did forking become an insult? As far as I’m concerned, it’s the biggest compliment you can pay a project. And if you fork and stay federated, you’re actually helping to strengthen the fediverse!
What you can’t do is force people to build what you want out of entitlement.
There used to be a neat site called 'Cache Viewer' that made it easy to find cached copies of webpages. It went down a few months ago, so I've made a replacement! https://cache.corbin.io
if you're wondering yes gitlab is very good, even great, and does most of github's current features and more (export, integrated CI), and now can even push to github. it's heavy but i highly recommend having one or using one. if you set one up maybe share it with people around. (use omnibus)

It's odd, to say the least, to see people claim I'm refusing to put emotional labour into community management when I just spent a night awake up to 6am answering & discussing user concerns about the trending hashtags feature.
It's odd, to say the least, to hear that the feature is a testament to how I ignore community feedback when the only reason I've implemented it is because it's been continuously requested by community members since November 2016.
That just seems manipulative.
Just about the worst thing you can do, if your goal is to change my opinion, is frame the discussion in a way that leaves me no choice but to comply, like claiming that if I don't agree with your demands immediately I am a monster.
I have time and time again changed my mind about things in the course of developing Mastodon, but it's a lot harder to do when you feel forced to do so "or else"
I launched a Patreon to help me focus on this project full-time!
Happy #PrideMonth to my LGBTQ friends and followers! 🌈
