What a shitshow. The CEO seems genuinely r-slurred or has some kind of mental problem. Dude burnt millions of dollars of his parents money to speedrun a company into bankrupcy and then panicked and just started scamming his own employees and clients using chargeback fraud lmao.

Several F-Droid developers are involved in repeatedly engaging in bullying, harassment and libel towards me. I've archived a thread with the latest example of it here:https://t.co/xyuYKMcNN7

I hate the symbols in math so much. It just feels like unnecessary gatekeeping for trivial concepts. How many mathematical proofs could be made widely accessible with just a little bit of psuedocode?

From the comments
And the entire benefit of Gentoo gone out the window with a single article... nice
Thats new, how would I write code with -O2 in mind? Do you have a link or an example?
For example, you keep a toy oxygen molecule on your desk and stare at it all the time.
Yep it's all open source. People are lazy?
Panem et circenses!

Husky is an android app for Pleroma. Pleroma is federation software, which our fediverse instance runs.
The background
This isn't the first time the developer threw a fit and left. But this might be the funniest one
Original post where the developer ragequits
Husky is alright software, it's a fork of another software called Tusky, which also has it's own set of drama (like hardcoding "nazi" instances and blocking them), but specifically, Tusky was written for Mastodon. Mastodon and Pleroma both have backwards compatible API's, but Pleroma slaps on a lot of it's own things, such as emoji reactions, more user information, custom post limits, and much MUCH more. This means that Tusky works for both Pleroma and Mastodon servers.
Husky was started by someone who wanted to make an app more oriented for Pleroma only, adding things like Emoji reactions and such
The drama
Like all software, it has bugs: but Husky has bugs that have gone unfixed for a few months. Some include notifications which don't work, like in the image, chat notifications. Posts that contain a lot of emojis can literally freeze Husky. webm emojis can glitch out sometimes, and various other bugs.
Unfortunately, this developer is an non-conformant autist (trust me, I am too) who uses Sourcehut (version control software), which is good software no doubt. Sourcehut requires that you send emails and vice versa to send tickets/issues/patches, and all discussions occur over email. Some people are fairly sensitive about their emails, although it allows people to submit issues without an account.
Two people reported bugs, specifying the bugs, explaining how the bugs are triggers on the Fediverse (Pleroma and Mastodon are part of the Fediverse FYI, it's a catch-all term). The developer saw these and responded that they must be opened through channels, the applicants do not want to do this, and just say "Please fix the bug". This very shortly led to the developer leaving, for good, and deleting his accounts. Excuse being that he receives too many complaints
Also >i dont, freakish developer doesn't even test his fricking software lmao
What's interesting about this very niche drama, is that a Pleroma frontend known as Soapbox (which, yes, has a lot more drama than this actually, the developer is a TERF etc), receives lots of complaints and deals with lots of messages hurled at him, x100 times more than the Husky developer. But oh well...

For something about 8 dimensional sphere packing (🥱, )
Also james maynard won I think for his twin primes work which is considerably cooler i remember watching a youtube video by him
There's an old conjecture that there are an infinite number of primes of the form p, p+2. He didnt prove the conjecture but he proved (if i remember correctly) some upper bounds on the smallest distance between any pair of primes greater than any arbitrary number. That means the minimum distance between consecutive primes doesn't blow up and you might even always have pairs of primes separated by 2 no matter how far you go along the number line

5% of new car sales in the US are electric now, which is apparently a critical metric for mass adoption of EV's in a country.
