Replying to @pathunstrom@ngmx.com

@pathunstrom the combination of grid layouts, flexbox layouts, and box-sizing: border-box still feels like a properly revolutionary improvement in web design, despite all of them being rather well-established at this point.

things i would have refused to try a decade ago because they were so difficult can be done in like a half hour with that combination. it's wild.

@miss_rodent ... especially considering, one of the Discord servers i'm trying to find a long-term solution for... if *half* of the server gave $1/wk, we'd be giving Gajim 4x what everyone else combined is, according to https://liberapay.com/Gajim >.>

@miss_rodent@girlcock.club yeah, honestly, i'm wondering if the best option might be Gajim + Mumble and encouraging folks to throw a few bucks at Gajim to increase the likelihood of them re-adding voice support?

@miss_rodent the group chat stuff was super frustrating but i was able to work around it by just doing it from another client. not great as a recommendation for other people, though. :\

@miss_rodent@girlcock.club Dino is very very very close to being a good option.

but i really dislike the unordered mixing of DMs + private groups + public groups.

i've had that design bite me in the ass one too many times.

incredibly frustrated because i'm poking at XMPP again and:

Gajim is exactly what i want from a chat client in every way except voice calls don't work.

Psi+ is exactly everything i dislike in a chat client except voice calls work.

@ireneista this whole thing was also handled so poorly that like... i don't know that the intent matters? when something this egregious happens, the distinction between "handled with incompetence" and "handled with malice" disappears. so in the end, i don't know that i'd react very differently if i COULD point the finger at someone. it's not helpful, because it's all a symptom of a larger organizational problem in Ruby Central that i'd been pointing out for *years*.

Replying to @ireneista@adhd.irenes.space
@ireneista thanks. at the end of the day, the core problem was a lack of communication to the point that we *can't* know people's intents, so i refuse to try to guess them. so, i just documented what happened, stated my stance on it, and left it at that. i clarify as people ask, and do my best to keep people from vilifying Marty while also avoiding defending him, because i *can't* know his full role here.

@armahillo I think the main thing aside from signal boosting would be: support the team in their future endeavors.

E.g., André and Samuel founded https://spinel.coop/ and are working on a tool named rv.

@jonny it's worth keeping an eye on https://spinel.coop/ and https://github.com/spinel-coop/rv Multiple people from the RubyGems + Bundler team are moving their focus there, and I may join them once unrelated-to-this personal stuff settles down.

The decision to leave RubyGems was made for me, despite the objections of the entire team. I hope you will support myself and the rest of the team in whatever projects we work on after this.

The RubyGems and Bundler teams — including myself — have had their GitHub access taken away aside from a small number of people working for Ruby Central. Due to this hostile takeover, I am resigning from my position at Ruby Central. I refuse to be associated with this.

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.

Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.

You can read the details here: https://pup-e.com/goodbye-rubygems.pdf
