Alpha males
@Khrys and not even a thing, which makes those claiming to be one even sillier

Is the Alpha Wolf Idea a Myth?

The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs are simply families

@robincapper @Khrys
Another proof that wolves are nicer than people
@Khrys Same when they call people, "beta males"... like huh, uh makes sense! They're far more stable individuals. Got our Release Candidate males coming up.
@Khrys I want to be a male 4.7, stable with a lot of improved features.
@brice @Khrys 😹❤️😹❤️😹❤️
@Khrys agreed, management wants to push development versions on to the user so they can fix things in production...
@Khrys It has been YEARS since I've heard anyone refer to themselves that way.
@Khrys alpha male = toxic masculinity
@Khrys
Well done! I need this on a shirt too! 🙏
@Khrys have we tried turning them off and then turning them back on again?
@kphotoscape @Khrys Could solve a lot more problems faster if they were just left turned off...
@Khrys as a beta, more of us should be betas. It's great 😸👍
@Khrys Also if you are feeling down because you are buggy, don't worry. You're not an alpha, you're just bleeding edge.
@Khrys More like broken males. ☹️
@Khrys so this means that being an alpha male as an adolescent is somewhat forgivable, but if a fully grown man is you can consider him an abandoned project?

@Khrys LTS male: feature complete, long-term support release, security patches sometimes necessary but otherwise stable

Poorly supported financially. Difficult user experience. Low adoption rate.

@log @Khrys 😹😹😹😹❤️❤️
@Khrys also, I think we have a lot of enshittification of these unstable and useless Alpha Males going on.
@Khrys Or in the context of wolves, where they only exist when you artificially throw random wolves together in captivity.
They’re like self-caging wolves
@Khrys
Damn, never knew how alpha I was.
@Khrys the rest of us are golden masters :P
@Khrys
I never went through alpha-beta stages. I was released as 'production'. Usable but with a few bugs that can be ignored or worked around. Now deprecated and heading for EOL.
@Man
@Khrys Do not use in (re)production context.
