_hc | yeah, its really hard to do well | 14:33:35 |
_hc | your suggestion sounds good to me, e.g. active moderation and reiteration of core fdroid values | 14:34:30 |
_hc | without adding details to the discussion | 14:34:42 |
_hc | upon thinking about that post a bit more, I think its good, I just was bothered by calling fdroid neutral | 14:35:26 |
_hc | since we've been trying to push free software for so long | 14:35:42 |
_hc | I guess the idea is more that politically neutral | 14:35:56 |
_hc | the last paragraph is quite good | 14:36:57 |
_hc | I guess in hindsight, I think just that paragraph would have been enough | 14:37:18 |
Mathijs | the last paregraph is indeed quite good, and also probably the most directly f-droid-related | 14:38:23 |
Mathijs | * the last paragraph is indeed quite good, and also probably the most directly f-droid-related | 14:39:29 |
_hc | Bubu: it would have been very nice to have that blog post in a merge request, rather than direct push | 14:44:31 |
_hc | when things are controversial, it helps to keep things extra transparent to avoid the conspiracy theories | 14:46:20 |
Bubu | We wanted to avoid people piling on the text before it went live. | 14:47:06 |
Bubu | Though mostly external people,I'd have been fine to open it to contributors but didn't know how. | 14:47:34 |
Bubu | | 14:47:41 |
_hc | can't MRs be locked? | 14:47:59 |
_hc | I guess they can't be private | 14:48:05 |
Bubu | Gitlab introduced confidential MRs a few days ago :-D | 14:48:18 |
Bubu | Which was a few days too late. | 14:48:31 |
_hc | ha lol | 14:48:33 |
Bubu | Haven't tried them yet. | 14:48:36 |
Bubu | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org upon thinking about that post a bit more, I think its good, I just was bothered by calling fdroid neutral I'm not happy with that term in retrospect. Uniq was bothered by it as well, though for opposite reasons. (Fdroid not staying neutral.) Turns out it's a word people have very different associations with. | 14:50:43 |
Mathijs | neutral is a tricky word indeed | 14:51:05 |
Bubu | All in all I'm still ~happy how that statement turned out given the limited time and elevated stress levels we were under. | 14:51:19 |
Mathijs | I have no real misgivings with the statement | 14:52:24 |
Mathijs | though I think in hindsight it would have been wise to take more time | 14:52:37 |
Mathijs | In reply to @mathijs:matrix.vgorcum.com I have no real misgivings with the statement mostly some grammar nitpicks 😉 | 14:53:05 |
_hc | FYI working on mirror.f-droid.org so there will be reboots | 14:55:44 |
_hc | should be invisible unless you're looking | 14:55:50 |
_hc | Bubu: yeah, its definitely hard to do | 14:59:02 |
