Seldom Needy is worst pony and this is his Twitter which is also the worst. Ever. (I build bikes and write code. That's it.)

@arobinsontweets Hate & invective are a fundamental part of how this site works + how it retains attention. The engineers behind it weren't handed designs for facilitating human enlightenment, or even happiness. You — as a bluename — are financially fueling Twitter's fires of misery. Welcome to X

@GGMJDGG @PinstripeBungle I once had an interview process that consisted of something like 4 separate interviews with different people over the period of 3 and a half months and I feel this one deep in my soul.

@protowlf "Paying users can look at the code and potentially customize it for personal use" and "open-source" aren't ===, but thank you very much for your answer regardless! Having an option out there that's actively maintained & less of a hog than than VeeSeeFace will be nice in any case!

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@protowlf As a caveat, I'll add I of course do understand that access to a project's source isn't equivalent to a license to independently reproduce or distribute the software, etc.

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@protowlf Will subscribers get access to source code or will this be strictly compiled (DLL/EXE/whatever)?

@nimayndolo Looks like the audio was disabled for "Recruiters Pt. 1" (https://t.co/HZn6MZk1lt). That hasn't been backed up here yet, has it?

@POCHOWEK Tweaking out? The only cure is to lock in.

zoomer little brother spent the entire aquarium trip today pointing and either going "that fish is locked in" or "that fish is tweaking" no in between

...I know all this because I beat my head against it over multiple sessions before a friend who's already done quite a lot of Typescript (professionally) helped me get untangled, though he spent a decent amount of time confused as well, just not as long as me.

@ste_grider In Section 16 of your Typescript course, you say the adventurous may wish to roll up from ES5 to ES6. Lest students get lost in the sea of rough edges, outdated import styles, and compiler options that come with using tsc directly, please clarify...

The other fixes error-messages suggest revolve around explicitly using .mjs or .cjs -file extensions, which — once again — don't really get at the problem, require edits post-compile, and will only cause more confusion; they're AFAIK unrelated to anything we care about

@acearohanda You won't have a direct claim to damages just as a consumer of art. Your best option is to continue supporting artists either by finding them on new platforms or by directly supporting legal efforts, or both.

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@ravewulf0 Artists offering their creations without charging are not going to have a strong claim in terms of damages in the legal realm.

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@PonyCrimson Some people, especially those who aren't (especially) reliant on Gumroad for income have done it in protest of the new policy. That's substantially different from "nothing."

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@BlackClownOwO It has to be either unpublished or deleted. Purchased products will not be wiped out for buyers.

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@Visr8 @sombre_slahc My understanding is that NSFW items can simply be unpublished (read: not deleted) and that products already purchased will not just disappear for buyers; the payment-processors only care about future sales of NSFW.

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@RoseBursyoji Heck. Was that a change that was publicly visible for a short while? Just wondering how you learned that!

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@NaitoOokami Could you share how you know they tried that first?

[Seldom Needy @SeldomTweety]

@HypnoticHive @shirokoi It's just important to understand that Itch isn't a guarantee, even if they're lenient or even friendly to NSFW creators now. Sadly, even sites like e-junkie that support a variety of payment processors could still be strong-armed as PayPal and Stripe likely have big shares. 🫰😔
