Now you have something you can use to safely stare at the sun

Cool, and I respect that. And I respect Ernest for what he does and he doesn’t owe anyone anything at all. But if you open source a thing and then almost completely ignore your user base, it’s just a bit disappointing.

Where are the warnings? If they’re in some particular magazine that maybe not every user is subscribed to, then this is a bad practice.

I’m not one to knock a developer on their software. Making things like kbin are complex and they certainly take effort to maintain and improve. That being said, these are my complaints about the management of kbin:

Why is there hardly ever any feedback from Ernest about why kbin is down? It just comes back up and that’s the end of it, until the next outage. A link to an explanation, or detailed banner message, or a schedule would be nice, assuming that these outages are scheduled.

Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.

None of the git issues on Codeberg seem to get triaged or responded to.

Ernest rarely responds to DMs on kbin.

At this point, I think I’m just going to create an alternate Lemmy account to avoid these blackouts.

You’re just jealous of our love.

I read the first Dune book and I hated it. I know the book is ~60 years old, but all the plot devices, references and lore really sounded dated and it really killed the vibe for me. I also didn’t find Herbert to be a very good storyteller, and there were many plot points severely lacking in detail. The latest movie however, was pretty fucking awesome, and gave the story the futuristic feel it was lacking in the book.

Dune purists are going to crucify me now

ACTUALLY what you’re referring to is GNU like little Unix sort of like Linux but not really

Shockingly, it appears that it still has an average 480k daily players

Good luck doing so. I disconnected the antenna and removed the DCM fuse from my Toyota. Track this motherfuckers 🖕🏻

This is the best answer here.

You guys close your browser? Weird

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.

You’re right, I should have done that, my bad.

Do not fuck around with hard drugs.

I’m sure they’ll do something about it

Lol I’m sorry I’m totally joking

With enough lube, yes
