Who said they were victims? I said I don't see any harm in devs being mildly abrasive as long as it helps keep their passion for the project alive.

How many projects do you pursue in your free time for no compensation that benefit strangers all over the world, whom can file complaints about your project, asking you to remedy or change it?

FOSS dev work is not a victim-generating machine, it's just entirely misunderstood and underappreciated. They make a project for them, then they m0ake it free to all.. and the code, and the support. But, you ask them what they dislike the most - it's the support. The endless poorly-filled tickets, the duplicate tickets the submitter didn't search for, the user errors that are explained clearly in the documentation. That part is thankless work. That burns people out. But if they use a joke tag on a support ticket when they close it, it's suddenly "omg, devs are so rude".

[..] include that type of work on a resume, which is sort of turning that work into future earnings if it helps you get a high paying job.

Ah yes, FOSS work should be its own reward because they can say they did it. Sort of like how interns should work for free at big companies 'for experience', and young artists/techs/small businesses should help influencers for free because they're 'working for exposure'. Now that attitude is a cop-out.

Post-brewed yeast you say..

I need to get this to the Australian science community for Vegemite vaccines asap!

I've seen this on a few repos and it never came across too harsh, the posts tagged with it were deserving. Wish I'd noted the repo names..

I'm fine with it tbh. FOSS devs need to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of working on the project to keep motivated. If they (or mods) can drop a helpful reply and close an issue as 'skill issue' and get a little chuckle while they give their time for free answering poorly-written queries or bad bug reports then that's a reasonable trade to keep them from burning out.

No, user and (derivatives of) have always unofficially, jokingly been layer 8. Also higher layers would refer to design issues (budget/politics/design - 9/10), not layer 0.

Well, since this archive says it contains the original ogg @160kbps for all artists with a popularity >0, it'll be in this collection. Your wait may be over soon.

Same, especially if it's just something simple like a note / URL / image, or small vid. Super easy, max file size is 100 MB.

No, but nature doesn't have political opinions either. These children dying because their parents can't make smart decisions for their birth is the harsh reality of natural selection at work.

I use Fossify FM for most on-device stuff, thumbs up from me too.

If I need to copy/move files between my phone and my NAS I use Ghost Commander as it has SMB support and the dual-panels make moving between devices easier to grapple with visually.

Trump, active politicians, wealthy CEOs, connected public figures, and even Israeli spies and handlers.

Take your pick of Epstein associates that the US govt would opt to protect for reasons other than the public good or national security.

Thanks for that, they have a bunch of silly fun stuff on Giphy and found their original comics from your info.

I don't like Newsom (and am not from the USA), but the context of this Tweet is very clearly a response to Trump and an attack on his behaviour (especially of late), re: insulting/mocking Rob Reiner's death. His office/PR has regularly used Ronald Reagan's quotes (as the former hero of the Republicans) to point out how completely embarrassing and perverse Trump's presidency is to their former 'ethics' and values, and to ignore that context as tacit approval for Reagan is disingenuous.

This article (from a UK publisher) is really clutching at straws.

Having said all that, personally I think AOC or Bernie would be 100 times better candidates. Original Tweet below.

I've used it several months and can recommend it. No issues so far and seems to get regular updates for bugfixes and minor new features.
