@chjara@lanodan@coolboymew It wouldn't be hard to make a "portable" boiler you can plug near/in the bathroom, with grounding self-check features, and accepting a standard hose attachment & sink hookup.
A lot of my grievances about #Mastodon (such as the Twitterized interface & lackluster support for anything but thin clients) are active design choices by the upstream that I profoundly disagree with.
Still, maybe this will finally reverse steam on the proliferation of unsafe languages? The disastrous disregard for #LanguageBasedSecurity and the inevitable #security consequences finally having reached the point where they cannot be ignored.
@alcinnz It quite singularly grates on me really how simple sorting algorithms based on heuristics get misunderstood in such a way and catch so much unnecessary flak.
Particularly when the problem is really just that users aren't in control, not that there's sorting involved.
Complaining about algorithms when chronological sort is an algorithm itself just feels silly.
@jollyrogue@benjaminhollon@RL_Dane@cobra@alcinnz@dheadshot Yes of course, and a project can transition from a state lending itself to such a monetization scheme to one where it's effectively impossible to apply it without particular trouble (good luck reaching all yt-dlp contributors, for example).
Open Core has always felt to me like a precarious balance since the users could very well reimplement the features you're denying them.
Although for some projects that's acceptable, since that's basically all they have anyway until they burn out like #CoreJS.
I do think businesses should simply adapt to using GPL dependencies & give up on the frankly unhealthy models that depend on the ability to sell & release only proprietary programs.
