I must confess that you're the first person to tell that to me — English class was always a disaster! The only thing I can point to is practice: I have a blog here that I write at regularly. The other component might be luck? They say that a broken clock is right twice a day and I'm inclined to agree.
In any case, thank you!
fuck this country man
Username is completely clean. It was something along the lines of “BeautifulPuppies”.
Is that you Jia Tan?
I guess I joined just after the outbreak began
Sure, I suppose I'm like this too, and hunting down and fixing this stuff brings me the most satisfaction. Highly recommended to learn to program :)))
I can't believe I had to add a rule just for this
If the developers do not distribute donations among all contributors
I understand completely. I've received a total of 400$ or so from open source bounties and other rewards, and would love to see a similar model in many more projects, including lemmy... and yet, please bear in mind that lemmy's monthly income is currently only around 700 dollars (and that's increased in the past couple months), excluding nlnet funding. The top two contributors have each added around 40 times more lines then the third to the project. Totaling all 140 independent contributors, they still fall more than 5x short of either of the main developers. My takeaway is that this site needs more funding.

Yes! The contributing guide mentions that there are plenty of other ways including design, translations, donations, and even just reporting issues you come across! Everything can be a huge help.
Mastodon suffers from similar annoyances. I feel like this system could be improved, it's pretty confusing for beginners. I support frontends rewriting links, I suppose (though I suppose there is the tricky issue of deciding what links point to the fedi. Maybe "!cats@midwest.social" should not be a link....)
Why must addons be created for free software instead of merging it in? for firefox seems good but for lm I don't see the need, why was LES not just added to master?
I cannot maths sometime 😩
