Alright I’ll admit that it’s generalized.

I’ll amend my statement. Those are the things we do because they’re respectful to the people we care about. OP, if you don’t want a relationship with your family in the future, then absolutely go for it and sever ties with them.

I’ve cut off family before, you just sever ties if they bring you no joy. What you don’t do though is act sulky and try to blame it on religion ( which they did, because if it wasn’t relevant they wouldn’t have mentioned it). That is not a mature way to handle it.

I have both a loving and caring side of the family and one who sucks all joy and happiness. I severed one off, the other I put on my good clothes and suffer through them telling me stories of things I don’t care about. That’s what you do when you care about people.

Its the same thing if your best friend goes out/marries someone you don’t like. You can cut off your friend, or you can do something immature like demanding they spend time with only you, or you can be a grown up and put up with their SO because you love your friend and know they make them happy, and you know your friend would be hurt if you made them choose. The spoiler though is that only one of those three options allows you to keep the friendship.

This isn’t about religion, even if you’re trying to make it about religion. You want to get out of your father’s funeral because it makes you uncomfortable.

Life is full of uncomfortable things, you’ll need to get used to it. There’s thousands of times you’ll need to suck it up and be around people you don’t like because it’s the respectful thing to do.

I’m agnostic, used to be atheist. I thought the same thing. Your fathers funeral, family dinners, respectful times, you’re not “making a stand” you’re being whiney and immature. Atheists celebrate Christmas, go to weddings and funerals. We just sit there silently and respectfully. That’s how we actually want to be viewed outside of a religious context.

Figure out the reason you don’t actually want to go and then learn from it. That’s what growing up is.

Congrats! I know it’s yet another app but I think you’ll find the audiobooks tailored experience is so much nicer

Luckily they have these people to help confirm who they hate that day

Yeah I hate saying “use something else” but jellyfin really is not the right tool for audiobooks. OP is seeing the frustration now. Audiobookshelf is the way to go.

Simple, I think it’s a great idea and so I care about it.

Yes you are very passionate if you’ve left so many comments about this, which is why I go back to my base question - why not just ignore it then if you find no use out of it?

Yes? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make now. CVs, skills, etc sound specific to this so they wouldn’t be federated. Social features like posts, replies, comments would be, as they match ActivityPub, they’re not extending the protocol or anything for it.

So I really don’t understand why you’re so upset at the app. If you don’t want the professional stuff then it’s as simple as not signing up for an account. If you don’t want any social things from them then it’s the same as any activitypub: defederate or block.

You don’t like it, I think that’s obvious, but I don’t understand the multi-comment thread where your argument seems to be “I don’t like it so it shouldn’t exist”. You don’t have to understand why other people find it useful for it to be useful to those other people.

Don’t subscribe to users from there then, and even then doesn’t sound like this would be federated?

On a separate, professional site.

That’s quite literally what this app appears to be trying to do.

Where would I put my CV and professional details, my skills and abilities? I don’t know man, I see some real value here, what’s the harm of it?

Except, I don’t want those people in my regular circles on my regular accounts, I keep work and personal separate. I’d prefer to have a separate account, just like this that’s linked to my professional life. This fills that need for me

Interesting. I fully expect it to be a bunch of Linux nerds. However, us linux nerds share job postings with others.

I have only received jobs for the last 10 years via social features. I hate it, I don’t enjoy it, but networking and people skills are the way to a good network. I started blogging and recruiters started pinging me regularly. It has a place

I’m a server asking with it.

I went from thousands of requests per minute down to 5. Five. Database was pegged constantly at 100% serving requests down to ~50% now. Huge difference.

Just holding up images of memes outside

Yeah Lemmy is the last place before I just go hang out in parks and be outside

Same as White Lives Matter.

Yeah, everyone already knows that, that’s kind of the point of why BLM exists

Yeah, I’m hopeful that changes. I know big projects require stronger leadership, but watching the comments on things made me feel like smaller OSS devs were like me and felt discouraged from helping out.

Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.

My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.

So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.

Oh if they do that’s great, the main dev of piefed went on a hissy fit because other instances used AI tooling, for them to be doing the same is just perfect. Gotta love hypocrites
