idk man I say just push it to production anyway
You must have been in charge when I was built. I've still got security issues, memory leaks, and there's a major known issue where under certain conditions I continue to work but stop providing any feedback or messaging.
If you could have your team at least address the resource management issue I'd be grateful.
It’s a common problem with underfunded development. Though the lead devs make a big difference too.
just tag yourself as "early-access" and suddenly everyone will forgive your flaws.
Don't get yourself an alpha male, get yourself a 1.0.4-ubuntu3 male.
Can I get an arch femboy?
Always has been.

I thought they were all femboiz. Only Debian is matrimonious.
Yeah! Gotta find those Long Term Stable (LTS

I just hear that they're so insecure they need to define themselves by someone else's deeply flawed version of better, instead of just being themselves and acknowledging what they like.
It's like asking what's the best colour, and someone answers "black, because it consumes all the other colours"
This is how I feel every time I see an overpowered "prototype" weapon in a video game that works better than the standard version.

Agreed!
There's is a bit of clever game design in Deep Rock Galactic, which I hope catches on:
The default load out for new players is almost unarguably the best possible load-out, for that class, in the game.
As players progress, they can unlock more entertaining while objectively worse equipment, to amuse and challenge themselves.
And, I mean, of course we do. It's hilarious because some truly challenging gameplay emerges.
And when it's kicking my butt, I at least realize I chose that challenge for myself. I had the option to bring the good equipment that I started with, after all.
And it puts new players on more even footing with veterans. I tend to make easy missions with newbie friends harder on myself by bringing truly silly equipment load outs. It usually turns out fine, and when it goes badly for me, they feel good for rescuing a veteran. Or it goes sideways and I apologize and make slightly better equip choices for the next try.
I assume the excuse usually is that the prototype was unstable, so they had to 'tone it down'. But of course, you as the awesome hero man can control it!
It needs a flaw to be fun; there has to be a problem that made it unfit for production and the solution lowered the power. Too inefficient, too inaccurate, too big, too unsafe, too unreliable. Make it a fun thing the player can play around so it's a sidegrade rather than an upgrade
Gonna wait for a stable male.
LTS males for the win!
Neigh
Considering the alpha wolf myth originates from observing a stressed out wolf population in captivity, unable to live out their fulfilling wolfy lives, the emergence of purported "alpha males" is an oddly appropriate indicator of what three decades of neoliberalism has done to our wellbeing.
The "alpha/beta" meme was invented by rightwing think tanks in the late 2000's/early 2010's to promote their ideology of rigid social-hierarchies where people at the top are allowed to impose and abuse people of lower social station with impunity, and to police and control the behavior of heterosexual men (it ain't just the LGBTQ's that get their gender-expression policed, ohhh no no no.)
It's important to note that the entire idea about Alpha males is based on a long-discredited theory that was itself based on flawed observations.
It wouldn't even matter if it was "right". The idea of looking to wolves for models of ideal human behavior is wrong for like 17 different reasons, even if it were technically true as a description of wolf behavior.
P.S. why do AlphaBros specifically look at wolves, or lobsters, to instruct us on social hierarchy? There are so many other animals, those seem pretty random choices. And pretty far afield from humans. Wouldn't you at least want something more proximate to us humans on the evolutionary tree? Heck, why not just use humans as a reference point?
Yes, and the man who proposed the theory retracted it later, saying it would be like basing human behavioural theory on observations made in a supermax prison.
That actually makes sense that these losers would venerate it, since the behaviours they idolise are very like what you’d see in prisons: machismo instead of real manhood, narcissism and subjugation instead of empathy, and hatred instead of compassion.
Yup. I've had more than a few people claim I had to "give up my man card" because I love musicals, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sex in the City.
Your man card wasn’t forfeited, it’s gilded. Only real men can appreciate art.
Have you seen Sondheim’s Into the Woods? It’s a masterpiece. It’s on Prime if you haven’t seen it. It stars Chip Zien, Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, Tom Aldredge, and other big names. I’d like to see anyone say Zein, Aldredge, and Sondheim aren’t ‘real men’.
I dunno what version software is at the 'sigma' state but they're broken too.
EOL, they're stuck, no updates, nothing fresh, their flaws are open, known and won't be fixed and if you get them, they're a seriously risk to your safety.
Abandonware
And the original concept, as it pertains to wolves, is evidently not a thing. So if we're just saying things, the software metaphor is as good as any other.
talkin shit is all most people ever do
Ugh, I am not looking forward to sweaty meatheads calling themselves “Golden Masters”…
Release Males rise up
... eww
damn bleeding edge males
FULL release 💪🏻
RTM males anywhere?
I'm more of an end of support male.
I don't trust anyone not using semver.
A whole train of thought happened in my head here about transitioning and semver.
My core dumps are the worst.
Too many smash burgers not enough veggies?
The only difference between alpha and release is the fixes needed to get through a sales demo.
I'm invite only. If you're very curious maybe somebody can forward you an access email.
What’s beta then? Be gentle on the product, working out all the kinks.
More stable, has all the required features, but can break down without warning with cryptic messages about what's wrong. Needs a little more testing and development before moving into the real world. So basically...teenagers.
It's more stable but for that you removed the substance for this.
Don't forget, you can name your release versions, even alphas. "Babydick," "Cuntosaurus" and "PhatTwat" are good options here
Love stable males, gotta be my favourite gender
Neeeigh.
Fools, I've been milking and plowing so long that even Ezekial thinks that my mind is gone
i will never hear "alpha male" the same from now on.
but you are right!😂
Glenn is an omega male, obviously...
What about Omega males?
More fellas today could benefit from taking a cue or 80 from Buddy Love https://youtu.be/HQ2dJnVqd6g?si=fPfoOhEpT-1kqopk
this is sigma male propaganda
The study of the sociological of wolves and the nauseam of imbeciles are two different things. The imbeciles naturally misrepresent the reality on top of touting their Idiocracy.
Too bad the term "Alpha" males has gotten such a bad rap from cretins like Andrew Tate.
The term "Alpha male" refers to men with a mix of being tall, very good looks, charisma, authority, and social popularity. I think we can all agree that men with a high level of those traits are very popular with heterosexual, or have we fallen so far that most people don't see that?
To put it more simply, all the men on Lemmy combined will not have as many women lusting for them as Jason Momoa or one of those Kpop dudes. Don't call it Alpha Male if you want, because the term has been tarnished by hucketers. But we all know the type of man that has zero trouble attracting women.
Why do you contextualize men with those traits as "alpha" though? Can't they just be guys with those traits?
What is the social utility of dividing men up like that? Is it like an omegaverse thing for guys or what?
We need to use another word besides Alpha. The division that the word "alpha" is associated with is the division between men who are desired by women and men who are not. If you're using the controversial word "alpha" that is what you are talking about. It's like classifying the rich vs the poor. Lemmy users don't want to accept this but most heterosexual men want to be the former in either case, no one wants to be the latter.
