  • That sounds frustrating, I can see why you might be discouraged when it feels like nobody cares about your project.

    I am not a marketing guru, my projects also have nobody paying attention to them, but I do know that if you want collaboration you usually have to ask for it. Let people know; post about your project and explain your goals and ask people for help. It’s never guaranteed that people will see the value in what you’re doing, but they probably won’t if you make it closed-source either. You’re blaming the wrong things here, my friend.

    Still, good luck with your project, and good on you for posting it on codeberg, that’s a great first step to getting some interest!


  • I don’t think this list is fair at all.

    no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )

    LibreOffice has a help page with a bunch of methods to find community support, including Discourse, a bug tracker, Mastodon, and a bunch of other avenues (and yes, they have an IRC channel also) to find help.

    assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )

    The Godot community is one of the nicest around, maybe second only to Blender’s community. But you are right, assholes are everywhere. I got news for you though, bud: there are assholes in the communities around closed-source projects too; far more of them, usually.

    enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )

    You are claiming that a reason why people don’t use open-source is because… they don’t use open-source? Circular reasoning is not an argument for anything, you might as well just not have included this bullet to begin with. If you avoid open-source just because “Mozilla might not use open-source for everything” then you’re just punishing yourself for no reason.

    small opensource can do nothing until big opensource does the step

    You can always be the change you want to see. You don’t need permission from “big opensource”, whatever that even means. Every project starts small, with an idea and some code added to a repository that is shared with others for feedback and/or collaboration. You don’t have to limit yourself because others aren’t doing their project the way you think they should.

    Also, Plex email blasted a few weeks ago about how nobody can share their libraries anymore without paying for a subscription. That was the push I needed to check out Jellyfin again, and the experience ranges from “good enough” to “that’s better than Plex” for me and my buddies.










  • I have been dating non monogamously for something like 15 years now. It’s not without it’s unique challenges, but most of the problems people have with polyamory are actually problems they have with monogamy as well, it’s just easier to avoid dealing with certain things (like relationship insecurity) when monogamy allows people to pretend they aren’t happening or to lionize expressing them negatively (as jealousy, for example).

    In my opinion, even if you decide it’s not for you, exploring non monogamy is very likely going to give you better tools and healthier perspectives than you’d have if you remained “safely” monogamous your entire life.





  • right click menu icons

    I think they might be referring to icons next to menu items in the right click menu.

    I think those icons can be handy sometimes, but I find them to be massively overused in KDE especially, to the point that it feels visually overwhelming sometimes. Having zero icons at all in GNOME might be the other extreme, but I appreciate how clean it looks.

    Blender using icons strategically to visually group related items is probably the best of both worlds.

    Conservative politics hasn’t meant any of that for a very long time. I think you need to find a new term to use if you want to be able to not have to explain this every time you ask for conservative communities to hang around in.

    Also, none of that is necessarily right leaning (anarchy covers very similar ground, but obviously for extremely different reasons), so it doesn’t entirely answer the question of what kind of right leaning you are looking for.
