So here is a wild idea, no more new stuff or features after this month.
That is right, no more new development for half year, focus goes on polish and fixing.
Stuff to report on slows down, but if we go with that expectation from the get-go, we should not be disappointed.
Alternatively, going all-in would involve careful planning on things to report, reporting constantly on the many small things, always chasing about the "quick things that can be done and reported on", like a quick plugin port, fast untested releases and stuff like that.
Those sound too much like the capitalistic "short-term profits above all else". 🤮
Some time with just focusing on fixes might be what is needed, but need to set the expectations right...
Seems the dream for getting donations to cover costs is unfeasible. subscriptions from last month are decreasing, instead of the contrary.
Without having big splashy news, it is hard to have cool stuff to report on. Code rework takes a long time before there is anything to show, IF there is even anything to show anyway.
Might be time to slow down a bit.
where does time go..
one full day just for some little rework and moving code around, plus some little fixing.
but doesn't seem much :/
things are progressing very slowly, there are too many breaks and distractions it seems.
@rghvdberg@sonomu.club of course.
if it was not clear, I was obviously joking.
I was referencing the now infamous "dont you guys have phones" blizzard moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmkHAlhCvWg
@rghvdberg@sonomu.club they just expect people to be using the app, makes no sense to use the browser (in their perspective).
don't you have a phone?? 😂

New York Senate passes a bill supporting #RightToRepair .
Sounds like there's plenty more to happen, but seems like a good first step.
"This shows that Right to Repair has real support when the issue gets an actual vote, despite the efforts of tech manufacturers’ lobbyists"

We are looking for software developers!
If you live in or would like to relocate to Germany, it might be for you.
We do mostly JS w/ types and Java but also a lot of other things.
There's a lot of freedom and we don't suck.
You can write GPL code for a living!
boosts welcome!
Today is a "magical" day.
From a nice and fresh 10C in the morning, to 31C in the afternoon.
A whole whopping 21C in temperature difference...
And to think this is only going to get worse 😱 😢
@rghvdberg@sonomu.club very commendable life goals. hope to get there one day, but village life is very hard without a car. maybe time to move...
are you in a village or in the city?
@unfa @gcrkrause that is a very simplistic view. quite a few actually are glad to be part of the design and engineering process, typically in small companies.
@unfa on a more light-hearted tone, https://www.theonion.com/elon-musk-unveils-urban-slingshot-system-able-to-move-6-1846702819 is pretty fun 😱 😂
@unfa "always has been".
the pedestal some people put him on is just unwarranted, and he clearly enjoys and abuses that position.
PS: watchout for thunderf00t, he is a master of cherry-picking 👀
@rghvdberg@sonomu.club the distractions are working well 🤔
@rghvdberg@sonomu.club it is going to be super fabulous! 🌈
@lovizio@liberdon.com @unfa @pocketvj nothing to see yet, I did some tests with some builds for audacity, but those will be for win/mac anyway.
regarding alternatives https://github.com/ddurham2/rezound/tree/dev/qt5 with its qt5 branch might be a good option.
I have posted screenshots of it before..
@hoergen not sure if I watched that, will check, thanks.
for the "friends" pic, it is based on promotional artwork alike this one.
