Have better docs in those places; but for a class A mess, like above, make sure the approvers see this front and center. Make them sign for it

“Sometimes the best way to fix a bug is to introduce an unstable new feature that will later have many bug reports. But the code will now work. And was only written after email chain that har management involved.”

“This is a temporary fix only, and the feature flag it’s under should be turned off after pull request 203. Under no circumstances should bug reports 1923 and 2045 use this new feature to fix issues, even if hours of work can be saved using this ”

“I am blameless for any future issues caused by using this new feature. Here be dragons.”

I just here for the first time, I find it liberating, almost daring behavior

I think this was the comment that pushed me to actually contribute to lemmy code. Thanks

My perception is you are trying to talk people out of donating to maintain lemmy, while using it yourself?

What does this even have to do with piracy ???

Your information, the data itself, goes through their code to reach most people on lemmy.

There is piracy and then there is talking others out of donating

Why don’t you a pull request and fix it yourself ? If you have the ability to recognize and know what to fix, and if you care, do it!

I know I’m too lazy to help them, what is your excuse ?

I swear, I might just get off the fence and help them myself on unrelated issues, it’s making me that unsettled

But you use the software they make…

Pretty sure it’s an oversight but devs are overworked, really overworked

There are many more important things to fix before this.

But an issue will put it in the todo list

I am a lazy unreliable person. But I find value in what you found and want it fixed.

If you don’t do it, it probably will not get fixed so fast

I think you should also make a GitHub issue too

I make the bed to prevent bugs and spiders from crawling into the sheets

I’m clueless about the discussions about this: but my concern is that, over time (years) most user activity will be on a handful of well managed instances. Smaller instances will come and go.

Seems the working fediverse needs server teams that are not too big or small.

I feel gloomy thinking this will be a bottleneck for diversity, expansion and growth on lemmy.

The current ftc doing something constructive?

Most likely situation is that this will not happen now, or years from now

Cars, roads, and car culture are inflicting harm though, even if it’s seen as a neutral tool by many

The working poor don’t participate in yougov that much.

I stand up for elections that are accurate and fair. If you look at my bio it’s my central belief in what needs to be done in American politics.

I cannot progress any leftest beliefs without accurate elections. So I’m ok if fair elections promote things I dislike very much. But they must be accurately counted.

I think I would respect many democrats more if they shared the same belief; but over the last few years I have become convinced that to be a card carrying Democratic Party member, one must be willing to turn a blind eye to how this country is not very democratic.

So yes, while democrats are better in many ways than republicans, both are harmful

Yea, they might be incompetent while still fully implementing bad ideas
