Hey everyone! While we're pleased with the reception of our IRCv3 upgrades, we realize that some people really like their older clients and don't want to upgrade for the sake of new features.

We are currently testing a way for older clients to benefit from our new IRCv3 features. For more information or if you'd like to help us with testing, please visit https://libera.chat/news/downgrades

need WALLOPS? no problem

what’s that, this server only has not-quite-WALLOPS? (& this other one, but not the rest?)

that’s fine, let’s get that sorted neatly

so, how do other clients sort it? in the server buffer? alright that makes sense, it’s WALLOPS-esque. oh, wait, this one puts it in the server buffer *and* as a query? hm, & that one just treats it as a query

well, it’s clearly marked as not-quite-WALLOPS at least, so whatever we choose it’s for this specific scenario! right? …right?

sometimes I do feel really pretty terrible at writing software

then I use other software, and also feel like… you know, we’re all in this together

one of the more useful things I realized at some point for how to be a good code reviewer is "that's not how I'd do it" is not constructive feedback and is not a valid reason to request a change, and if you can't think of an actual good reason to block a review, you can save a lot of time for everybody involved by just chilling out about it

it is okay to just not care for something without cobbling together a rationale for why it’s objectively bad actually

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.

This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).

Luigi's height and generosity represents the wheat stalk; when we feast upon the harvest we embody Wario's girth and greed.

Waluigi stands for the lean times that come during winter. As the snows melt he is replaced by Mario, whose plumber nature blesses the fixing of pipes that burst from the cold.
