@teethfairy on haunted typos (source):

@teethfairy

honestly i feel like ive fixed this typo 50 times but it keeps coming back to haunt me. i keep finding it in new places. i don’t even understand how i made it in the first place. i see it in my restless dreams. i wake to find “HEALING FANTSY” carved into my bedroom ceiling. there’s no escape. he will be with me forever.

from MEB-148:

@aerozol: All done, if you go into the design system > brand > logos, you will now see a ‘monochrome’ folder for all projects[…]

@kellnerd: Hmm, am I blind or have you created monochrome versions for all projects except MusicBrainz?

aerozol: Hey, what’s that, look over there! …Oh look, the MusicBrainz monochrome logos are now there and always definitely were there

Thanks David!

Of course, that’s no reasons to create a standalone release. I can also sell my socks one by one in second hand, instead of pairs.

People who have joined after 2021 might’ve missed this special moment on IRC.

An excerpt:

Who is the fucking mod of https://blog.metabrainz.org/? Your last update broke RYM URLs. It’s not possible to attache them to release groups

reosarevok was that you? why you do not test your code?
I would like to talk to your supervisor. Who is it?

This morning my inbox had 340 emails from 1 user - chaban - who, apparently was channelling the Blues Brothers and decided that he was on a mission from God.

@Maxr1998: strawberry ice cream is so catchy

@DontMindMe: If we get an obsession feature it will be on mine One of those songs I love to loop!

@Maxr1998: I also noticed that it’s probably a perfect song for CPR
Yeah, I’d love that obsession feature

@DontMindMe: “What are you waiting for? Save him!”
“Hold on, let me start my CPR playlist”

@Maxr1998: “He’s dying”
"I KNOW, but I just can’t decide on the right song!’

You Done My Brain In

You know I appreciate all your work but don’t just pick up tickets that people make. I think it’s wrong for tickets to propose solutions to problems. We are the devs. We will find the solution after discussing with our teams

Reporting bugs is a waste of time. Got it.

[reosarevok]

For what it’s worth, that’s a lot more extreme a view than what the MB devs think at least (although I would agree with a softer version of it, “volunteer devs who are not in the dev team, ask if we want to change/fix something before you start writing code based on a ticket to make sure we don’t disagree with the proposed option and reject your code”).

Reporting bugs is certainly not a waste of time, anyway

[chaban]

When concerns about a privacy invading core feature are apparently ignored for nearly a year it pretty much feels like a waste of time. Moreover it seems new features have a higher priority than fixing bugs in existing features.

[akshaaatt]

@chaban You have been a great asset for us and we really appreciate your time and effort for the bugs you report.
As @reosarevok mentioned, I was expressing that emotion, so please don’t take it personally. I don’t want people to work on things before even sharing the ticket with me.

Thanks for understanding
