Jellyfin letting me set a number of episodes to play before it stops. 👍
Not that nieche, I bet a lot of people wanted it. Kinda surprised it took til v12
I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.
I’ve seen open source software devs fix niche little bugs I reported within hours of reporting it. Feels good.
Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it’s preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.
Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I’m sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations’ drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There’s a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.
Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven’t been looking. We’ve lived through the middle of something incredible. I’m sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn’t thinking, they’re going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.
That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.
The reason why is that AI is helping write code faster now. What are your thoughts on this, OP?
Can’t you ghouls just leave it alone for 5 minutes without making everyone miserable?
What in the world are you on about?
Okay let’s say it again in easy to understand words.
You’re being annoying and nobody likes it.
Crazy that you think I care what a rando such as yourself, who likely hasnt bathed, says to me on the net. Appreciate the elaboration, though.
All your comments above were literally asking randos for their thoughts.
Yes you are correct with that observation. And what is the reason for me doing this you think?
Self-delusion that you’re contributing instead of goading.
