"Select where you heard about typst"
-> Fediverse
Finally somewhere that actually has Fediverse as an option, this must be a good app.

Just commenting here to ping you that I found a new major alternative! I've edited the comment but TLDR; search ".NET Avalonia" and see what you think
Absolutely, I didn't mean my comment as excuse or justification. I personally don't want any sponsored people on the board. Defense contractor or otherwise.
I'm still trying to disentangle the "stirring up drama" part though.
I don't know what AstroTurf means. Jon might be in the wrong, and I'll edit my comment to put bad stuff at the top once I'm caught up. I'm just giving the info I have. If you have some let me know.
If AstroTurf means a bot, check my history here and on Github (jeff-hykin)
Edit: turns out this story goes way beyond Jon, all of Nix is in flux right now. My personal experience is kind of irrelevant.

Original Post:
As a first-hand account; Jon has been the nicest of all the maintainers I've had interactions with ( ~7), probably followed by Ryan Mulligan. The only reason I remember Jon's name (I usually just recognize maintainers by their profile pictures) is because a couple years ago, as part of this thread I was reading this github issue with a really rude/attacking user. I remember reading Jon's response and thinking "This is one of the most patient FOSS devs on all of Github".
However, take ^that as-is, because I am not up to date on anything recent. I just wanted to provide the small bit of insight I do have.
Here's some of my interactions for those who like to judge for themselves:
I mean, manual approval technically does work. I kinda wanted something that would scale.
While I'm really glad to hear about it, I think it would work great for DDOS detection, I don't know that it works for preventing spam accounts. I'm pretty sure puppeteer with GPT4 could check that box no problem.
PoW sure, but like what's the tool name. Rolling my own PoW sounds not-smart. I've messed with metamask a bit but last I check isn't real practical for mobile.
[TOTP] Simple to setup / create, doesn't depend on 3rd party ...
Actually I'm worried its a bit TOO easy to create. I don't need a bulletproof/airtight system but what's stopping highschooler from installing bluestacks, downloading the AUTH app, and then handling 10,000 TOTP requests for different bot accounts.
I think once you get down to the size of vehicles like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2oD1ZHNMFE then they become naturally modular/replaceable. At least in the same way that bikes are. I don't think people really create "modular" bikes they are just naturally swappable. Of course standards are helpful, and I think there is a total lack of standards for golfcart sized enclosed vehicles.
Agreed, it must take after its parent haha
