       I have been on the internet for 24 years and I have never willingly clicked on an ad. Who are the people who do and why do we allow them to use computers?

       Normal developers: ugh, documentation is so tedious, just read the code, look at the tests, see the examples/ directoryMe: I literally do not understand my own code until I've documented it, it's just an unorganized mess in my head. Why did I name this function this way? Won't know until I try to explain it in a doc.

       An #Emacs user is someone who cannot use software until they have modified that software somehow.

       Any instance that federates with a Meta instance will be fundamentally unsafe as all content will be fed to the advertisement meat devourer as such it must be defederated on sight. In addition to the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish threat that is pretty blatant. As Brian Cantrill said in his Illumos talk "in open source we prepare for doomsday scenarios and we had a doomsday scenario with Oracle"

       Am I the only #CommonLisp programmer who doesn't like local-time? Just give me python's datetime API and leave me alone, I don't want to read a paper to use a timestamp library :)

       @stux meta has had literally thousands of chances not to act in a profoundly unethical manner and you're giving them another one? This thread should be included in the dictionary definition of naivety.

       Listen folks, common lisp is not an open source ecosystem, an ecosystem has corporate sponsorships, startups, consulting fees, foundations and grants. We are a free software enthusiast art scene. Different rules and different outcomes. It's absolutely ok that there are 80+ utility libraries.#Lisp #CommonLisp
