and they are all on mastodon

a fans motivation is normally to gain access to heroes rather than hide far far away from them on lemmy

Stop with the feeds entirely from randos.

the streaming noise in arabic then French and Chinese is trying to drive the point home that u are doing something obviously wrong

try grabbing that French poster by the Freedom fries and get to know him.

Ask him about his adventures in Africa. Bet his colonial exploits come with some insights

rock stars, not individuals

the content is github

a distribution / marketing site is pypi

you are interacting with technologists.

The content already exists. And are interacting around that content. Rather than generating more and more content forever in a loop leading to nothing but more noise.

And you have direct access to these people! If a reasonable conversation is lacking it's cuz you are not bringing the party to the bar.

You are the star that makes the conversation happen.

So dial up a person 100x smarter than you. And find something to ask them.

Like a ChatGPT but will actual intelligence and passion at the other end.

it doesn't matter what Europe does or does not do.

What matters is access to energy. Without which the civilization dies.

Where the journalists are therefore is irrelevant. Unless they're packing their bags.

Or they have hidden a mobile fusion reactor in their basement and just bidding the time.

mastodon is awesome if you actually can bring yourself to want to interact with a real person.

If you can't get anything out of mastodon you cannot get anything out of interacting with another human being.

Find someone to care about. Force yourself to care about them.

explain your point clearly with unittests. Then we are talking.

Prove it's true otherwise it's just conjecture. A missive. A random thought, or G'd forbid, good intentions.

Then to get something out the opportunities the universe is gifting you, all you have to do is turn on that empathy switch and adjust the level up to max.

The issue is all in your head.

You are surrounded by giants, but you don't notice or care.

Force yourself to care.

Find someone tomorrow and magically decide they are now the most important person in your universe moving forward. And you want to keep in touch with them regularly. And you find what they are up to thrilling.

Then type in this url

github.com

This will be enough to fill your entire lifetime and then some.

you are missing out. Which is much worse than just being wrong.

The focus of mastodon is on the people, not the comments.

Deeply care about the other person and then you'll be interacting with someone you admire

The comments are topics they find interesting and want to share.

With coders, when they post something, is usually mostly signal.

mastodon is like an oasis in a sea of noise.

Concentrate on the signal, not the noise.

Build relationships with people you care about.

The problem with mastodon might turn out to be having a heart lacking in empathy. Need to be able to care enough to want to be associated with someone you admire.

We live amongst rock stars. How can anyone completely miss that?! The problem is neither the platform nor the rock stars.

Don't need a sea of people. Need 10 or 5 or 3. As long as they are rock stars. I count my blessings daily.

It's clearly how approach to using mastodon. Small tweak to your mindset and you can get alot out of the platform.

Dial up a super hero and tell them they are awesome.

Go to pypi

Find packages you like and their maintainers.

Hook up with them and tell them they are awesome, but found a few things that doesn't make sense in the docs. Whatever the approach. You are in!

Do it now.

It'll take all of 5 mins.

Name three people on Mastodon you follow and why do you admire them

On Mastodon, follow and interact with people you admire, not content.

Go to pypi look for packages you admire, find their maintainers, and get chatting with them. Coders make themselves available on mastodon. Not lemmy. Not twitter. Email is passe.

Do a survey. Look up 20 random packages you admire on pypi. What contact info do they provide? These packages must be actively maintained. Otherwise understand if dinosaurs in the past communicated thru mostly hand gestures and grunting.

Published coders are the richest resource of talent in the history of mankind.

Lemmy ... asking questions?! Is that it?

There is more to interacting and collaboration than hit and run knowledge sharing.

i care about other people, specifically coders. They are my rock stars. And that's who i want to keep in touch with.

On mastodon, if have something up your sleeve others want to have access to you. I get access to certified, cuz whats that, geniuses. They have the repos, source code, and unittests to prove it!

On lemmy, not so much.

Or riddle me this, how to build relationships on lemmy?

Yes! Those who can code and use git can collaborate and work remotely. Lessening the need for long depressing commutes

git solves this.

i love me some doom pr0n now and again, but it sounds alot like some people are due for some exercise and they'll be just fine. Things might turn out for the better

japanese preferring natto over peanut butter

when faced with people with that position/attitude/minset, i have a phrase for that, grandma gets a smartphone. These people really aren't made to be using tech.

Have read thru the Fossil web site. Fossil and git are nothing alike. Fossil is not Github in a box. That's misleading.

It's ok to place the key/value pairs merkle tree into an sqllite database AND NOT change the philosophy away from what we are used to with git.

Fossil makes me more sold on git. I want the PRs, i want to be able to rebase. I want to be able to fork projects away from it's parent.

Fossil needs to rewrite if it wants to attract git users. My main thing is portability of PRs and Issues. So when fork a project, the PRs and Issues are also forked. When the original author disappears would be nice to not have to rename the repo, while losing the PRs and Issues.

I read all 3.

The critic has been tricked. He is naive nice person. And therein lies the rub. He is dwelling on rebutalling the bullshit not realizing it's purpose is to distract away from real issues.

He's argued twice based on nostalgia rather than on legal merits.

People may have legitimate reasons to want different terms in an open source license. The critic rejects this.

If the critic has nothing to add to the conversation, he should go pound sand. The adults are capable of ripping systems apart and understand how to pieces fit back together and can customizing them without deviating from FOSS and OSD philosophy.

Go with aGPLv3. FUTOs nonsense nonpoints don't help in the least.

Real issues like pay only in Monero to the maintainer without any KYC. Not in encumbered methods requiring our time and risk of not being able to receive the funds. No NPOs. No middlemen that take cut.

Devs needs to unionize or form gangs. Society is currently telling us to get a job rather than maintain the packages world+dog relies upon. That's malicious, suicidal, has real consequences, and thus should be our #1 political issue. And we have to change society's focus by causing a rukcus, not submitting more resumes to create more web sites and smartphone apps or cloud services. Which is just purposefully pushing us towards a job creation program rather than a means to maintain world+dog's tech base.

There should be a systematic way for companies to pay towards those maintaining their tech stack. Lacking this, the companies can just say they are confused on how to go about paying devs. I can see their POV. That infrastructure needs to exist.

None of these points, violate open source philosophy one bit.

None of these points require yet another license. It's more about what direction tech community has to take moving forward.

When Python coders create documentation popular options: Sphinx and mkdocs. pandocs for converting a lone vanilla ReStructuredText file.

With Sphinx can create user manual and PDF!

Let me politely add a big warning, there is a learning curve

Any user level questions regarding Sphinx can send my way
