The problem is that F-Droid takes time to review new releases, when they're already available from other (direct) sources.
I have discovered Obtainium[1] not too long ago. Allows you to install and update apps from pretty much any source you want (e.g., directly from GitHub releases, as in NewPipe's case).
I love Jellyfin, though it often struggles with subtitles embedded in the container. They are recognized, but it fails to load them. If I retry it two-three times, it usually manages to do that.
Also, recently discovered it has plugins too, like syncing status with Trakt.
So you exclusively used GDScript? I find myself kind of on the edge of trying it out. I have experience with C#, so just wondering if it would be worth it.
I think it's universal. And not always in a consciously aware way. It seems natural to try to raise your kids the way you were raised (if that formed a good image in your head), or to try to do the complete opposite (if that left a bad image in your head). And both can go to very extremes.
In my case (I'm from northern-eastern EU), my mom was very overprotective and over caring as well. With the years, I realized that, and was trying to "ignore" it as much as possible. However, she didn't really see my "ungratefulness", and was continuing all the same. Me being a shy kid, and having this level of care, had a big influence on my independence/self-confidence. I stayed at my parents until 28. This was last year. For the past year I was having angrier thoughts, bad thoughts sometimes. I finally mustered the courage and got my own place in another city. My mom was pretty sad with this, and was rather asking me to get a bigger house where we could live together more spaciously (we lived in a smallish flat). I thought she's joking, but she was not, she would even send me house listing ads. Anyways, this decision was the greatest thing so far in my life. I've been on my own for over a year now, learning the ropes of being a self-sustainable adult.
I never miss my parents. I do visit them once a month for a few hours. Recently, I've talked with my mom about how her behavior was only pushing me away all these years. The good thing, I guess, is that she understood. We cried a bit together. Her reasoning was that she didn't have much attention as a kid - her mom was always working. So she tried to recoup that with her kids. I told that it's the opposite of what I needed, and now I feel very little emotions towards her. I guess I could've told that sooner too. But better now than never.
A bit related - do you ever go from PR comments to DMs? Sometimes when discussions are needed, it feels much easier to just chat 1 on 1. Especially if it's a small team and everyone's close. Though that prevents others from experiencing the "interaction".
If its not just asking for clarification on a comment then I really try to stick to the PR, so that the context is captured. If a back and forth is needed then I make sure to include a recap somewhere in the PR.
What about clarifications? In a sense when you're not sure if this is good code, and would need to get more details. I sometimes just ask directly ("Why is this there?"/"What does this do?"), but other times I just don't bother and let others review.
Would also recommend checking hacktoberfest topic (the event itself happens in October, but the topic is still a good reference), which is used by repos whose owners explicitly encourage contributions, especially from people with less contributor experience.
In my country (Lithuania, EU), the severance is governed by law, I think the minimal value is 1 month's pay, and the minimum scales with the years you have worked. From my past workplace, all of us were laid off last year. Severances ranged from 1 to 4 months I believe, nobody complained. But I'd say the situation is that you don't think about it, as even in the worst case, finding a new place is easy, so it feels more like a unexpected "bonus". But some companies might try to talk you into making "deals" where you sign a document saying you quit voluntarily. These are usually done with social pressure and don't provide any benefits.
