What conclusion did you come to?
He's gonna live a long life. Until we know pi.
I really like Calendar Versioning CalVer.
Gives so much more meaning to version numbers. Immediately obvious how old, and from when.
Nobody knows when Firefox 97 released. If it were 22.2 you'd know it's from February 2022.
It doesn't conflict with semver either. You can use y.M.<release>. (I would prefer using yy.MM. but leading 0 is not semver.)
This is not a supply chain attack, it is sudden extreme enshitification. according to the article, the attacker also bought the GitHub repo
I don't see how buying the GitHub repo as well makes it not a supply chain attack but enshitification.
They bought into the supply chain. It's a supply chain attack.
no no no, this is the wrong way around
because sales and marketing sell it before it even exists

I don't see how it solves the mentioned issues. Instead, federation introduces new issues of complexity, multi-layered moderation, and potential for distributed inefficiency, confusion, or more malicious attacks.
I think we can see on Lemmy some of the problems it introduces. But for an Encyclopedia, which is supposed to be a source of truth, I think it's much worse.
If you depend on instance admins as curators, it's not that different from Wikipedia roles, which at least has open governance and elections.
They say other projects didn't reach critical mass. I don't think spreading your contributors thin - even while connecting them to some dynamic degree - is how you reach critical mass.
Is it because c++ devs need half their day for recovering from the trauma of reading and writing c++? /s
I scale by dropping requests

The site name’s a play on “The Onion” so it’s gotta be satire, right? I couldn’t find an about page to confirm.
Yes, it's satire.
The page is run by one author https://www.theolognion.com/about and no description or goal described
Runs on "substack" platform (standard software)
The story reads like a story, and the mentioned company does not exist
Seemed verbose, overengineered, unnecessary framework introducing complexity. I didn't see a strong use case for it, maybe for a lack of an obvious one or my understanding of it.
It also didn't leave a strong impression. I had to look at the site and goal/description to remember.
Maybe some niche data handlers and implementors have use for it. But a Wikimedia project seems overblown for that.
I have not used it though. I'm open to being shown and corrected.
