You're spending an awful lot of time telling me I don't get to reply to comments off my own thread. Maybe stop and realize that my original comment didn't need any replies and y'all are the ones wasting your time and energy arguing downthread instead of getting smart enough to go start your own thread if you want to express yourself.

It's 2026, not 1996. Its time to grow up and learn how threaded conversations work. They aren't new. It's awful weird that you're struggling so much with the concept.

But sure. Keep screeching "STFU" like a child. I'm sure that somehow, somewhere, someone on the internet might actually listen to you. But that someone is not me. I don't listen to the demands of children.

what’s taking people so long

besides the fact that there's no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?

Oh noes. Some internet rando called me names because I wouldn't provide free labor for them. You sure told me.

"Sounds to me like..."

Nobody asked you? Why do we care what you think?

Sounds to me like you're insecure and looking for a free handout instead of being able to come up with a coherent reason for why you're owed something you've not earned.

Thanks for continuing to put your inexperience on display. If you're so certain you're right, you don't need my answer.

Thats a lot of words to say nothing of value.

Projection ain't just for the cinemas.

You don't see the deal breaker because your requirements are clearly low enough that open-core software works for your use case. Your experience is not universal. Your inexperience is leading you to believe you're more knowledgeable than you really are. I don't need to explain myself to someone that engages in bad faith arguments.

Let me guess, you chose Gitlab because you're a DHH fanboy?

If you have to ask the question, you haven't made a serious comparison of the two.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Legality is not morality.

"Are we the baddies?" ponders Gen-X's Rush Limbaugh copycat after decades of being a mouthpiece for Russian agitprop.

You were also likely taught that the genocide of indigenous Americans was a past event, too.

I have met people who did not realize that indigenous Americans still exist.

Just remember - we'll get out of this the same way we got out of it the last time.

We'll do it just as soon as enough folks realize last time wasn't resolved peacefully.

Translation: "Please help us justify our choices to our board. They want to know why we YOLO'd billions into making our users hate us."

Wait, why does George takei attract magas?

Its because he's their most prominent gay, non-white opponent. They don't like it when he reminds them he actually experienced American concentration camps before they were moved to El Salvador.

If you think those are virgins, you've not seen that room under black light.

Oh look. Yet another post demanding things from a volunteer-based community without actually volunteering their own time to work on solving the problem they're insisting needs solving.

I'm sure these demands will totally make a difference in ways that putting their time into actually writing code wouldn't.

This is the childish actions of a whiny technofascists that's gotten himself banned for cause. Note the open bigotry right in the README. For some odd reason he feels the need to make an anti-DEI statement. Treat it like the far-right dog whistle it is.

I've played in the Seed closed beta. It's awful. It's not a game that anyone should invest any time in. I would describe it as the kind of thing self-absorbed developers build because they enjoy the process of building it, not because anyone but them will enjoy using it.

It's a lightly-interactive Sims knock-off with all of the soul stripped out, zero story or narrative creation, and instead we've got Baby's First Toy Economy Systems that are so trivially exploitable that it's ruined every play session I've participated in because the entire world's resources become dominated by 3 players within the first two weeks. There's a barely-funcional civics system where players can elect somebody national leader, and there's a toy government of the president's cronies who can pass policies to alter some national economy settings (tax rate, import/export priorites, etc.).

There's almost nothing stringing any of the game's systems together. The developers appear to have a lot of faith that the player will somehow care about the goings on of their bots. But there's not really all that much going on. Bot-to-bot interactions are shallow and purposeless. There's just nothing going on in the game to latch onto.

As the saying goes - Imitation is the strongest form of flattery that mediocrity can give to greatness.

Call your representatives. Demand they invoke the 25th amendment or Article 2 Section 4 of the US Constitution. Demand they remove an obviously demented and incompetent President from office.
