What are your small, obvious signs that a foss dev can be trusted?

For me, its when a software that has no business going online doesnt even try to do it — it would get blocked anyways — but the fact that it doesnt even try, not even to query for updoots, it just .. it just warms my heart ok.

when the dev profile either has a based anime girl or his obviously non-commie non-jewish face as a profile picture, or if their location is set to gensokyo
>>
>>110030855
When the code actually works and has no backdoors. This is the only criterion

>>110030855
Like most communists, only when they're swinging from a lamp post can you even start to trust them.

I never encountered bad software by trans people

>trans people

if they are really really, really people, why did you feel the need to mention it?

Why do I keep seeing this long line everywhere now? How are you supposed to even read it?

the only software I cant think about that was made by such trans, transexuel, hm coss dressing people, is actually quite solid. I've been using it since I was a teen.

Because AI loves it. It's just a slightly longer pause than usual
>>
>>110031012
Its an academic parenthesis, so instead of writing :
>I love you (a little)
you can write
>I love you — a little.

I'm smart and I show it every chance i get, yes even to anons.

>>110031024
Jokes on you, the world of academia long existed before ai, and shall be here long after
>>
>>110031024
>It's just a slightly longer pause than usual
So, a comma?
>>
>>110031047
>Its an academic parenthesis,
No
>Jokes on you, the world of academia long existed before ai, and shall be here long after
Correct, but anon as why he is seeing it *now*. I liked using emdashes

>>110031052
Yes but it has a different connotation and is less ambiguous than a comma. For example you'd not use an emdash for enumeration.
>>
>>110031063
>>Its an academic parenthesis,
>No

it literally is, I learned about it about a decade ago while reading academic papers. I adopted it because its so elegant and allows great visibility, unlike the usual parenthesis. Notice how its not a simple - but a proper, looooooong — you dont find that anywhere on the keybord son, I made a small AHK script to be able to write it on command, that how far i was willing to go, you feel me?
