41·9 days agoEven more real scenario: The first real visitor isn’t even a customer but a bored teenager who says nothing at all and instead takes a piss on the floor. (Anyone who ever published anything on the internet knows this scenario.)

Some brilliant people invented photoshop
So the real question is whether Photoshop might ever have become successful, if Adobe hadn’t bought it.
You had me at “nuclear”.
Already with a single standard in a single project things have a tendency to start breaking down as soon as there’s more than one developer and disagreement arises about what the text in the standard specification actually means.
I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.

You know, CVS wasn’t really that bad, just primitive and outdated.
Luckily I’m young enough that I never had to use RCS.
The first version control system I ever used was CVS and it was first released in 1986 so it was already old and well established when I first came to use it.
Anyone in these past forty years not using a version control system to keep track of their source code have only themselves to blame.

While it doesn’t make any sense at all that “a Discord server” (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from “a Discord server” (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.
I had to check that I hadn’t dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:
“FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source.”
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer
“If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.”
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
“We’re transitioning to our own discord server!”
https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/discussions/111
“We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter.”

“I’m excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!”

“Our Discord server got a makeover.”

That you’re now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can’t be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.
Have you ever used discord?
No, not really.
The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms
Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?
What’s that supposed to mean?
What do you mean, how could your own server be “hosted by discord”?
Slackware, of course, but when Debian was first released two years later I obviously switched (and it’s been Debian since then).
