New comment by andrew_ in "Migrating the main Zig repository from GitHub to Codeberg"

This is hilarious. Hating Microsoft will never go out of style. Fun to see the youngs rediscover it. Also hilarious is that Codeberg as a frontend is slow as hell; slower than Github even.

Have fun with your newfound virtue, Zig folks!

It's virtue signaling plain and simple. People who crafted their identities around the current thing in ~2017 are religiously attached to having to be part of the in group and can't let it go, and it inevitably bubbles up like this.

This will no doubt rankle those who align with that group, but they are a pathetic remnant of a terrible period of rampant sociopathy.

This is exactly my take as well. The people leaving and putting out the call for others to follow them are the same ones that lost their power when the platform changed hands and the ideologies of the people who run it changed.

Would you trust a company whose founder dances in pajamas like Elaine Benes with an open laptop to deploy your infra? Sus, very sus.

That's in of itself, sad. The lack of efficiency is mind-bottling [1]. There were states with large populations that had 90-100% of results in a matter of hours.

Was just in Canada recently and despite the favorable exchange rate, I couldn't believe how expensive groceries were compared to the states. Everything from juice to eggs to bread to meat was 1.5 - 2x the cost back home.

where does it say it's an email server?

being pedantic doesn't mean you were misled.

FWIW jsx-email has a builtin CLI email client compatibility check which uses the caniemail dataset: https://jsx.email/docs/core/cli#check

My eyes! The goggles do nothing! [1] Please bring on some design and UX folks. The contrast literally strains the eyes.

Possibly relevant, but they seem to have a hard time hiring and retaining talent. There's been a consistent player in my LinkedIn inbox from 2018 to present (even post-ZIRP) and that's Kroger engineering recruiters.

seems you've angered the folks who went to Bluesky

Completely uninterested in Bluesky as it was the favorite non-mastodon target for the most insufferable people that I'd run across on the old Twitter. I'm legitimately happy for them that there's a place they enjoy participating, but want nothing to do with it.

because this only matters if you somehow benefit from it; either with virtue points on the internet, or political points in the media.

quite the leap from a few too many drinks, directly to therapy and mental health issues. if that's your take from someone being drunk and saying something ridiculous then I'd question your judgement.
