just another dev

I was gonna post a list of other things that happened on July 9 2025, but it was all kinda depressing.

The post ended with “stay tuned”. Do you have any update for us, OP?

To me it reads like “I’m going to move abroad if x wins the elections.”

Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don’t really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.

Or option C: there’s a discussion going on about an open source project, and you’re starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn’t downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.

For the past half hour I tried to read into what’s happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:

1. Communities are gonna drama.
2. Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn’t be allowed to.
3. I really don’t care enough to waste more time on this.

For me it’s just generic influencer dislike. Wouldn’t go as far as hate though. It’s just that I pre-emptively don’t care about what they have to say. Clickbaity titles “this is why…” (without explaining why) certainly don’t help.

So… How can you possibly justify that start button?

Typical that the title does mention Google (who currently has a minority stake) but not Datadog, who would become the new owner.

But yeah, I don’t foresee a new owner making things better for gitlab.

Check out OP defending Apple in every comment in this thread. It would be funny if it weren’t so… yeah.
