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:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.

I spot another couple of big core-foundational-infrastructure projects in that list, at least a few of which are now also maintainer-less

nixos will be able to still coast on momentum for a while (because that's how well-built infrastructure operates) but it looks like the deep cuts will start to eventually impact them in pure maintenance/upkeep burden alone. whether it'll be enough to really "kill" it, dunno. I want to believe there's not enough ops-clued chuds that they could find and hire, but I don't know what the numbers really look like..

(not that I blame samueledr for their choice at all, more remarking in general)
