🚀 Presenting the 'Hand', an open-source robot hand that promises to revolutionize... touching stuff? 🖐️ But fear not, it's on #GitHub, where you too can unleash your inner Frankenstein with code and artificial intelligence that makes your existing code look like it was written by a hyperactive squirrel on caffeine. ☕🐿️

And yes, whoever uses #discord for #documentation and #versioning instead of a goddam #git [doesn't have to be @github / #GitHub or @gitlab / #GitLab or @Codeberg / #Codeberg or even @gitea / #Gitea - just use any git and write down your documentation in a useable format like #Markdown or goddamn ASCII plain text FFS] should be banned for life from #coding, working in #IT or contribute to #FLOSS.

  • Because it's literally worse than people shitting "#Ai" #Slop all over the place cuz that can be fixed faster and easier by backrolling said commits and banning the offender!

from now on, if someone asks me to interact with source code on GitHub, i am simply going to say "sorry, i cannot, GitHub does not allow IPv6 access”.

i've run into this too many times to make working around it my problem. now it's someone else's problem.

MapLibre Native, literally used by millions and millions of users every day: 1.4k stars in 5 years.

OpenCut, a landing page for some AI video editing app (nobody knows if it is even a real thing, absolutely no indication that it is): 20k stars in 3 days.

Lessons:
1. #GitHub stars don't tell you much (or anything) about usage.
2. Hire a marketeer.

I'm watching #Bitchat rather closely on #Github and there's basically two kinds of activity on the Issues

1) people who seem to Have Clue(tm) and can point out and suggest solutions for the real-world issues this app will face, and write code

2) #JackDorsey fan bois who are hard in love with anything Dorsey says, and would happily buy anything he has to offer

As one footnote, Dorsey himself has acknowledge that the short range of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) networks will pretty quickly require some sort of relay/bridge implementation to transmit from mesh-to-mesh across any substantive distance

"While bitchat is designed to operate without internet infrastructure, there are scenarios where selective network bridging could enhance its capabilities without compromising its core principles. The Nostr protocol presents a particularly interesting integration opportunity."

No specifics as to who/what entity would control these Nostr relays

So, yeah...
