Mozilla has gone to shit long ago, but this week they somehow have outdone Microsoft on enshitification spree. One post is enough.

My two cents: https://techhub.social/@vintprox/...

Entire thread: https://techhub.social/@mozilla@moz...

Turns out those "Community Calls" they've hosted are just a ploy to damage control Mozilla's first steps into AI crap, back when they added prompts to MDN Web Docs. Fast-forward to today and even most loyal Firefox users should get enraged. Call me surprised (no pun intended).

So, Waterfox and Librewolf it is, then... Or Vivaldi, who cares at this point, really.

Floating point math abridged

That Valentine's day went hard (late repost)

Finnegan by @retoor has received 16 points for Presentation and 12 points for Functionality (28 total) during the voting phase. And with this, I call it the Winning devRant clone 2023!

She will get an SVG with her likeness and layered sliding animation made by yours truly, which is a potentially perfect trophy for her portfolio. Hope you'll like it, @retoor, so give me a time and it will arrive!

ragedev by @SidTheITGuy has received 6 points for Presentation and 3 points for Functionality (9 total). As such, he will only receive a static SVG portrait. But it's still a good addition to his YouTube channel, I believe!

@ostream with others get a certificate for participation. I don't really know why I'm issuing those, but please accept! It's the least I can do for your all's contributions. Come by the next "jam" announcement, I promise it will be more exciting ;)))

UNOFFICIAL DEVRANT CLONE JAM - LAST VOTING DAY

4 people have cast their votes on devRant clones with 19 points for @retoor and 3 for @SidTheITGuy. It's a huge rift, which will be hard to clamp by 12:00 UTC!

Despite the obviousness and overall weirdness of the end product chosen for this hackathon, I want you to give your feedback to others who want to see the best of devRant, but somewhere else. What do you think a serious devRant alternative should have and what are expectations for the design?

I'm sure all these topics will keep reappearing, so maybe this rant can be used to gather all the thoughts in one place before spreading them around.

UNOFFICIAL DEVRANT CLONE JAM - VOTING WITH CRICKETS - DAY 2

I see that nobody is leaving any comments on hackathon entries. It is troubling, because there is no telling if you approve the app behind the post or not - even if I were to collect all upvotes through myself.

Please give the feedback to our contestants in their respective rants! What it takes to make a "devRant clone" or there should be something else entirely? How do these clones look to you, which gets the most points?

Yesterday, @ostream has left the competition by removing account from devRant, but, hopefully, we'll see him again on the next hackathon. Now, it's only @retoor and @SidTheITGuy. They will clash for the right to get a cool animation of their devRant self. You vote can affect this.

UNOFFICIAL DEVRANT CLONE JAM - VOTING START - DAY 1

3 entries were submitted, and we're ready for your feedback! It is exciting to know what your votes say about the work needed to supplant devRant. However, considering the sudden announcement of hackathon some 10 days ago and very short sprints, we get what we get.

2nd place nominee gets their devRant self in all vector beauty. Of course, it's not the exact style, but it's something resembling and with objects separable from each other! The winner gets an animated version.

You are welcome to familiarize with all devRant clones that our participants have made!

ragedev | devRant Clone

I messed up with the concept of this competition and created a client instead of a clone. It uses devRant api and displays the output with an HTML template.

Here's my GitHub repo link: https://github.com/sidaims93/...

Tech stack I used: Laravel, HTML, CSS, JS, MySQL.

It took me a total of 5 hours.

Nothing special about this lol.

You can also watch a livestream of mine where I worked on it: https://youtube.com/live/...

https://kbin.melroy.org/m/drbboard/...

It's the story about our devRant meetup back in October 2020. Hope it will bring you a little tear to your eye. 🥲

Martin Owens, a.k.a. doctormo

Man's got what it takes to be a core contributor of Inkscape and a lot more. The approach with which he balances contracts and independent development with other contributors is worth a song.

Oh-ho-ho, in fact, his wife ordered a verse from Professor Elemental & Tom Caruana as a surprise and it was a snap! 😂 It's so fitting to this gentleman's character.

Reintroducing you to online chat that we have open since July, dR Community Channel. Let me start by showing you a thread about "Synchronous software for devRant people". It has common questions and answers to them, to get you going with this social avenue.

There are 17+ people on our Matrix room plus 14 more through Discord bridge. These numbers keep growing! 🥳

🧵 Read on Fediverse: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/drbboard/...

Boost, leave your suggestions and write-ups there, just so more of us could help and respond. Thank you and have a whale of time!

Together, we've finished this 68x78 logo! 🥳 Yeaaaah, plans turned out to be very ambitious, but the end of the event was nearing, so we settled on a hollow version.

Find it on Canvas, as part of our collab: https://devrant.com/collabs/8270045 🔍

👋 Collaborative drawing of devRant logo on Canvas!

Hello, everyone! Wild Matrix room just appeared: https://matrix.to//...

Hopefully, this one will be of more service to the people of devRant wanting to chat. It is bridged with dRCS, our Discord server, to make a faithful transition of subcommunities. Read the room's description for more detail. 🔗

Just at the start of it all, there is one more event you might like: a canvas like "r/place", but where you join via Lemmy. 🐭 I know, I know, Lemmy is only getting traction - but the community is thriving and making their own cool events already!

This one is called "Canvas": it's a fork of Pxls and a place where you can draw pixel art for all to see. The number of pixels replenishing on each person is limited and it takes time, so we REALLY need to gather together and draw this thing until the event ends!!! What thing? We are going to place a DEVRANT LOGO.

Canvas link and reference will be dropped in the comments below. Let's make devRant proud, for ducks' sake! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

It is recommended to join the channel to coordinate in real time and enjoy a good chat. 😁

I'm working on a prototype for The New Oil revamped landing page and wanted to know your opinion so far.

Issue for context: https://gitlab.com/thenewoil/...

How do you perceive "clear screens" design paradigm? What could use more improvement?

Continuing the trend of devRant stressball entering places! Previous attempt: https://devrant.com/rants/6483141

Within FSF conference, LibrePlanet 2023, there is a temporary Minetest server. More info and art: https://techhub.social/@vintprox/...

Just drew devRant stressball on public canvas. It's on recently popular Minetest server - mtPlace.

A bunch of cultural swag there, mostly libre and 1337, so I thought it would be wonderful to have a piece of dR as well to liven things up. 😁

Why does it need so much foam, again? It's a landing page, goddammit!

🎄 Happy New Year! 🎄

Made these intros some months ago, but haven't got time for the full dR Hunger Games 3 video. Still, here are your appetizers!

Oh hey, sussy little baka

I, Firefoxo Giovanna, have a dream.

I won't succumb to Manifesto V3.

I just compiled a color palette for devRant-related drawings that anyone can import into GIMP and Inkscape. Already successfully using it for graphics promoting dR Community Matrix (more on that later), hence the name: "drcm-palette".

For reference I used colors produced by "Tailwind CSS 10-color Palette Generator": https://tailwind.simeongriggs.dev/
