I wish more people would understand that different people use their computers for different things. For me, gnome is unusable. This is not hyperbolic, I literally cannot use my computer for the things I want to use my computer for in gnome. But that doesn't imply you will have the same experience. Don't be so reflexively dismissive when people give feedback.

We gotta find a middle ground between "the customer is always right" and "it's open source, fuck you"

The simple answer is that you are not a customer if you are not paying for the product. -

@dotstdy I just don't know if there's room enough for a company to come in to both develop open source software features and to sell it as a product.
Maybe some sort of per feature crowd funding might be more appropriate? -

I just mean generally though, even if you're working for free, there's no point having an adversarial relationship with your users. Especially not if you're a capital P Project with lots of contributors and users. It's just super unhealthy.

@dotstdy Ah, I was talking more generally about starting a company to write and sell versions of open source software with features that customers want, and not about particular projects.

@dominikg @dotstdy this only works up to a certain extent if the changes don't get upstreamed and/or the modified version doesn't get enough of a userbase to warrant its maintenance, because over time (and in certain areas that's relatively quickly) it will lapse and become incompatible with the rest of the ecosystem.

@Paradox crimes committed under duress or necessity (and more in general “mitigating circumstances”) will already levy a reduced sentence/punishment. Ditto for first-time offense. And recidivism is already punished more harshly. So what exactly is your friend on Twitter talking about, given that they apparently don't know what they're talking about?

«Apple CEO Tim Cook celebrating the iPhone 17 with crowds of buyers at New York's Apple Fifth Avenue, said tariffs played no part in price rises»
No, no, volemo solo più sòrdi.

Friend on Twitter is contemplating the idea of setting criminal punishment severity based on how likely you are to be a repeat offender.
Light punishment for crimes committed under extreme duress, harsh ones when the criminal would otherwise have no problem doing it again.Yeah I'm sure this alone would be problematic, but it's an interesting idea.

@julian Wow, that's great!

evan@cosocial.ca we do, yes. The default settings are to not spam the user, because I personally dislike getting emails I didn't explicitly sign up for.
Those defaults can be updated by the site admin for all users, or changed by the local user on a profile-by-profile basis.
NodeBB has daily/weekly/monthly digests, and can send emails for all of these events:

@stefano Yes!!

Updated to #godot 4.5 quite easily, but didn't manage to figure out a good way to do what I wanted with the stencil mask.
I know how to do each part, but unfortunately it appears that decals can't write to the buffer. So I can use a decal to create a stencil mask.
Grr.
