They couldn't wait until after Worlds to make changes this big? Preseason is what, six weeks away?

Yet.

It's a good move. The game could stand being a little more simple and back to its roots.

They should also remove the bottom turret being weaker than the others. It also adds unneeded complication to the game, and is an extra hurdle for new players.

Blast cones and honeyfruit can also go while we're at it. Maybe the vision and ward clearing ones can stay. At least those have a more interesting tradeoff. I'm not sure if they net positive or negative vision.

Plates were a great addition and should stay.

Documentation tends to be "you take what you can get" on both sides. Are you going to turn down a PR because there aren't supporting docs? That's a good way to drive off developers too.

Generally someone who is annoyed with having to figure it out is the one who writes the documentation.

Calling out people for an extremist, strawman version of a popular opinion is not accepted. Because people eliminate all nuance, and you're either for it or against it.

I'd give examples, but they'd get downvoted. I'm generally in favor of the government staying out of personal issues that don't affect larger society. When it comes to a woman's right to choose, that's popular. When it comes to certain religious practices, it's unpopular.

I forgot to mention Mumble as an example. It was many years ago, so hopefully things have improved by now, but the dependencies and setup for that were insane. I felt like I'd made a mess of my primary OS by the time I was done.

He forgot some of the biggest reasons.

A larger codebase is generally just harder to work on. A more established product with more users tends to be larger.
More popular projects with many users tend to have developers that don't welcome new contributions. The investment required for a new developer to make an initial contribution is huge. Things like setting up the development environment and the stack of technologies and understanding the basic architecture are significant barriers to entry. Existing developers tend to not care about reducing that burden. After all, everyone who's *actually *contributing to the project is already over that barrier, right?

Developers, open source or otherwise, should generally be excited about people "taking their jobs". Because you're going to have churn of developers over time, and if you're not bringing in fresh blood, then your project is eventually going to die. Do you really want to maintain every project you work on for the rest of your life? Encourage new blood. Do what you can to accept new ideas and directions unless you have very good and explicit reasons not to. If someone has a sightly different vision and is willing to hop that initial barrier and is willing to put in more work than you, don't undervalue that. Be willing to compromise a little to bring in a new developer. Sometimes you have to say no, but consider that you're saying no to a person who wants to volunteer their time to do work for you.

On the other hand, there are tons of people who say they're eager to work on your project. You invest a little time into them, they provide nothing, and then vanish. It's easy to get jaded when you keep running into people who are more words than action. Be very careful what you promise you'll do, and if someone invests their time to help you, try to actually do what you said you would.

She was the one who insisted. Nobody, other than maybe her staff, was encouraging her to keep that job.

The Democratic governor appoints her replacement. Why would they encourage her to stay?

My 7.6.0.3 won't auto update. Says there are no updates available. I'm trying a manual install.

Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there's generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.

Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.

I'd recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.

Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.

And they think everyone just ate the WMDs in Iraq thing. No, I was there at the protests. Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.

The only thing Iraq and Al Qaeda had in common was the Q. We knew that then.
