@maple feel free to add europeans to that, no grounding mildly concerns me

if a rule you've made about contributing to a software project is "bury the dead" you're doing development very, very wrong

@halcy ...this dude eats random grasshoppers he finds and is worried about drinking the tap water in germany...

this has got to be a joke

@noelle think they're on about someone else but they totally should replace all the signs with "noëlle" and celebrate you instead

went shopping today and a whole load of signs were up for this "noel" bloke

don't know what that's about

@trashyfins@chomp.life okay, if one of the rules of a software project is "bury the dead" then they're doing something terribly wrong

I mean seriously, look at this fucker right here

Couldn't even be bothered to get a decent logo made up, just a few seconds in paint and "give money plx"

y'know, it's not even the concept of "trying to monetise the fediverse" that I have the most problem with, I don't like it but corper fucks gonna corp

it's the fact that most of the people trying it are putting so little effort in

I'm offended by the sheer lack of effort

@maple I wouldn't bother personally, just raid their wiki for tips

@softgoat me: oh shit, I haven't run any updates for a month, apt update && apt upgrade

@maple blub morning

@Jo kinda but not quite

They're planning ads and data mining, but you can opt out of that by paying €2.99 a month

I wonder if the person/people behind this albin thing are regretting their life decisions yet

@hfrazey ooh, those look good

I'm sure you can get simple clip on ones for a lot cheaper but that's a pretty neat looking setup

I'm not sure I'm going to call albin.social hiveway 3.0 because this one is trying to raise actual money instead of dunning-krugerrands

@elomatreb eh, there's always going to be people coming in trying to make a buck, only thing we can do is hammer them into the dirt every time they try

@maple no problem bunny bun

@maple yeah, already handled for us
