@CobaltVelvet > "To avoid reaching 0.99 (and 0.100 or 1.00?) we have a new strategy."
... Didn't they run into that issue with 0.9 and 0.10? ... Why not just version number like normal people? (x.y.z = major.minor.bugfix)
@XOR 4 point is an agile development scale, about two days. 1 point would be half a day's work. A story is just another name for a task or a bug in agile speak.
Finished a four-point story in less than one today... No longer have to work the weekend. Huzzah.
So instead I'll be watching a lot of Arrested Development and working on August Offensive. Huzzah!
@jason the company I work for decided to do a minimum viable product release on the 3rd, so unfortunately I only get a 1 day weekend... I get comp time though, so I don't care that much
It seems like the BSD projects are mostly hindered by the speed of the porting teams. Projects like DragonflyBSD and TrueOS have some interesting technology behind them but lack either the simple or the modern front end to handle the expectations of modern users.
Once Plasma gets ported I'll probably try to jump to TrueOS as my daily driver. I'm sticking with Manjaro in the meantime.
Someone go start a cell phone carrier that bundles exactly one carrier app on every phone they sell: a personal oauth2 provider app.
I'm waiting.

@XOR I guess it's a scale of how broken that what you're trying to use is, and how much you're trying to go against the intended functionality. I'd just say as long as it fits the defined requirements and can be tested reliably 🙈
@evenorbert the best programmers I've know prefer to spend the majority of their time away from computers.
I found this bizarre when I was young, but now I'm the same way.
Most of my programming happens in my head, preferably somewhere outside, and I only use a computer for data entry and debugging.
After working this month as a software developer, I feel like any problem can be solved with a bit of abstract thinking.
Next month, I expect to learn how wrong I am
Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.
Proposing a new #LibreMonday recurring #hashtag. Who's in?
The idea: #showcase free/libre and open source source (#FLOSS) projects that you like, giving a screenshot and basic information + links.
This should help many of us #Mastodon users discover hidden gems of the #FreeSoftware ecosystem.
Please boost 🍍 and give it a go!
Oo, Mastodon has a account deletion feature now. I feel like I can safely recommend it to all my friends
you can't skip leg day. you can hear them in the distance, thundering just over the horizon. the legs are coming
And what's the whole "bubble" thing anyway? You already live in a bubble, that's why you have followings and a home TL instead of watching and marking as read every toot sent in the world.
The whole point of this network is to make accurate bubbles of people you want to listen to.
You want to listen to transhobes? Then fucking admit it, so I can properly tell you to please get the fuck out of my sight.
I am happy that Torvalds is happy. :)
“I really like what I’m doing. I like waking up and having a job that is technically interesting and challenging without being too stressful so I can do it for long stretches; something where I feel I am making a real difference and doing something meaningful not just for me.”
@hauntedlatte It's tangent to your request, but might also be interesting for folks following your thread: https://yourfirstpr.github.io/ tries to focus on people willing to start with FOSS but without knowledge of what to do.
An instance where the toots get jealous and make their own accounts on other instances to boost their original toot to get more response
In case y'all didn't hear, the Girl Scouts of America are now starting to give out Cyber security badges out that girls can earn while they learn to be the next best thing in tech.
Fuck yeah girls scouts.
