this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

reply with features and bug fixes you'd like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I'll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

oh I keep forgetting to log this one: move the i_love_jesus microdependency into a backend workspace crate (to prevent a potential security issue) and rename it (just cause)

[–] self@awful.systems 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

all interested parties should carefully evaluate the crate named i_love_jesus that only Lemmy depends on and also i_love_jesus_macros, a crate of compiler macros that will run on your machine when Lemmy is compiled

it's amazing how "Jia Tan" has become an instantly comprehensible curse in computing

Yeah the whole timeline of commits to having this as a core dep to having full commit access is just whack

probably it’s just some teen edgelord, but then that still says quite a bit about the judgement of the lemmy devs. But perhaps I repeat myself
