I don’t object to ‘if you don’t like it, fork it’ as a response as long as you have structured the project to make it easy for people to maintain downstream forks. Indeed, I consider the existence of downstream forks to be a sign of health in an open-source ecosystem. This means:

• External interfaces to the rest of your ecosystem need to be 100% stable and to be added slowly. You must have feature-discovery mechanisms that make it easy for things to work with old versions of your project.
• Internal code churns infrequently. Pulling in changes from upstream and reviewing them should be easy.
• Internal structure is well documented and modular.

This leads to small projects with loose coupling that can be done (or, at least, ‘maintenance mode’, where they get occasional bug fixes but meet their requirements and don’t need to change).

A lot of projects were like that 20-30 years ago. Reaching the ‘maintenance mode’ state was a badge of honour: you had achieved your goals and no one else needed to reinvent the wheel. New things could be built as external projects. The last few decades have seen a push towards massive too-big-to-fork projects that have external interfaces that the rest of the ecosystem needs to integrate with, which are complex and lead to tight coupling.

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

there was literally no need to have a dedicated airplaine mode key on keyboards

who is toggling that so frequently

and why is it right next to printscreen  

"The most wildly successful project I’ve ever released is no longer mine. In all my years of building things and sharing them online, I have never felt so violated."
