This has been your constant mantra for 3 years now and is part of the reason people are underwhelmed.

Do you lack fundamental understand of those apps you built that are still in use? Did you lack understanding of their workings when you built them?

Having skilled and happy employees that aren't constantly changing and do not spend all of their time on ways to fuck over customers and chase trends is simply impossible. Releasing a piece of hardware and leaving it open for customers to do with what they want? Linux? Not hiring people the second line goes up and then immediately firing them when line stagnates? Preposterous.

It is what we are talking about, hence not "counterproductive".

"Trust us" is never a good idea with profit seeking founders. Especially ones who come from a culture that generally hates the hacker spirit and general computing.

You basically wrote a whole narrative of things that could be. But the team is not even willing to make promises as big as yours. Their answers were essentially just "trust us we're cool guys" and "don't worry, money will work out" wrapped in average PR speak.

Now that picotron is ramping up which basically offers a superset in terms of features compared to pico8: will there be an expanded picotron version of picocad?

But for the current situation you are just misrepresenting the problem.

Aggressively maintaining a decent follow list no longer helps.

And "other viewpoints" are not the problem. Every somewhat popular tweet has automated replies full of porn bots and clearly automated answers that say basically nothing or just try to provoke or advertise.

"Following" has become infuriatingly useless too because it algorithmically sorts in nonsensical ways.

The result: many tweets I would have liked to see get completely buried while others get shown to me over and over as I visit the site.

I'm so incredibly tired of algorithmic timelines.

It used to be a good tool on interesting updates on hobbies I enjoy. Now it just wants to waste my time, and I'm just not interested in screaming matches about daily politics.

That includes echo chambers too so it is not about differing opinions even, I don't need people from "my side" telling me again and again what the "enemy" is doing wrong and how I am supposed get angry at that.

Whether that behaviour is acceptable is not the question. In my opinion it is not, but I don't think I should decide because a whole lot of things that are widely seen as very acceptable I would place under bad for the internet as well.

If you throw around an idea as strong as that of a "good netizen" I am much more interested in where it ends.

Are the Tor developers good netizens?

Who decides how a good netizen has to behave?

Julia with a proper `Julia -compile` flag that results in a proper binary of reasonable size would catapult Julia from "kinda nice, but limited" into "one of my favourite languages" territory.

> And you’re supposed to have teaching assistants or similar available when you really remain stuck.

That just translates to giving the middle finger to self learners.

I have not yet seen a decent explanation for withholding sample solutions/explanations. It usually just boils down to "I want this to be only for university professors to give homework from and I am of the opinion that university students lack the minimal discipline to work on problems in their own"
