I don’t have experience with Twitter or Mastodon but it reminds me of time when I quit drinking.
When I quit drinking and tried to stay around people I used to drink with, I realized really fast how pointless this “engagement” (really just two people speaking past each other, and feeling like they have deep conversation) is. It’s almost insulting what a waste of effort such an “engagement” can be.
Some people see “free stuff”, and assume that it’s now open season on wasting OP’s time.
It’s a good way to kill any enthusiasm. Imagine your kid made a spaghetti portrait as a gift for you and instead of just accepting it you asked, “but what exactly did you do differently from all kids on the block?”
Why? Why ask for this from the creator?
If someone can create new software and offer it for free, they should not also be expected to also create a comprehensive analysis of what other people did and list of differences.
Just take it or leave it, it’s that simple. No need to act as if you’re trying to waste some door-to-door salesman’s time.
Edit: I expected some downvotes but not that many.
To my defense, the question in this thread is “you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others”. Look, I’m not a native English speaker either but I feel we could agree that is still pretty far away from simply being curious about design choices or “what led you to create this” sort of exploratory question.
I might have overreacted, though, so sorry for that.
What’s even worse that the stolen comment got much more engagement than the original.
I’ve seen her comments all around YouTube, and this always seems to happen to her. (I’m assuming it’s because they are the most insightful, informative yet still on point.) Don’t give up Barbara, some of us are seeing through the scam and rooting for you!

Be grateful to your taste buds. Enjoy the life they have saved for you (and them).
Why apologize?
I also look incredibly attractive.
Turns out we all do, so it’s fine. (🍨🍨🍨 😭 )

Fun fact: With those 4 games it looks like a tie, but weighed by Steam scores, Linux wins. (Warhammer has like 3/5).
(Disclaimer: I have never played any of those 4 games and don’t plan to in a forseeable future. I also realize full well how ridiculously insignificant a sample of 4 is.)
WISYWIG managing nested bullet point or numbered lists should be in right-bottom corner.
I like that plan because it ends up paying 200%
edit: 199%

Great post, but I have to “well, actually” you on this little thing:
the REST protocol demands it.
REST is not a protocol, and does not have to do anything with JSON.
(eg. How Did REST Come To Mean The Opposite of REST? by Carson Gross)
The issue is bridging the gap
Yes, but the irony is that we already have the bridges, it’s just we keep jumping off of them at random places, thinking it’s the other bank.
No, we should educate all devs and fix all broken time API’s,…
wait, your solution seems far easier.
No, take tHe NeW jErSeY approach. Keep the implementation simple.
Everyone, everywhere on UTC.
7:00 - Everyone wake up at
8:00 - Everyone go to school/work 8:00 AM
…
21:00 - Everyone sleep.
We’ll figure out the logistics as we go.

No wonder they never invented time machines to get to the future, if we’re so keen on bullying them.
Don’t wanna state the obvious, but it looks like they still ended up staring at each other for the rest of the evening.
They have shown that they still love each other, so hope they can work with their one irreconcilable difference.
