2 months agoI found out that in most apps that advertise, the act of hovering on an ad and blocking it greatly increases the chance of seeing the same or similar ads
There’s a huge problem with OSS projects being toxic to newcomers, already existing maintainers get annoyed when they have to explain the peculiarities of their codebase they believe should be simple to understand (it’s not). I’ve personally stayed away from contributing in the meantime because I have more often than not “asked the wrong question” or have had genuine ones responded with “read the code” or “rtfm”. I understand that some stuff is definitely simple to grasp just by looking at it, but I wouldn’t be asking if I did, right? The projects that will survive will have good communities and good CoC’s, there’s definitely outliers in that, the biggest being the Linux Kernel itself, though the problems have been reduced quite a bit in recent years.
