If for some reason your services can't speak an already common language, I think it's on you to add those shims into your own project.
Let's assume that they didn't have these container restrictions and could just use an ordinary docker-compose.yml, they'd still probably want to use something like OAuth2.0 for centralised login which a lot of these services won't have.
What would be better, making a massive PR to add support for it, or opening an issue to discuss it with the maintainer first?
The biggest contributor to the project in the last 3mo is andrewlaack... and we can also just take a guess that "adl" in adl-collab is AnDrewLaak.
If yes, regardless of who made the issues, that seems like terrible architecture/design there...
This line makes me think you are running a spam campaign and andrew just isn't part of it
The world would be quite miserable if "perfectly legal" would be what everyone optimizes for.
what you will find is that this is what corporations optimizes for. Therefore, you as a person, cannot compete with the corp.
That's why you need to become like a corp, or make the rules "socially acceptable" the same as "legal" (which is the best option).
And you can still live quite comfortably.
They're probably jealous that they never had the guts to do it themselves and prefer to rely on friends in high places or daddy big media to promote their shit for them.
Standing behind your work is good and wholesome. Fear of self-promotion is weakness.
I often talk myself up and promote my work. Especially face-to-face. If your work actually measures up to the talk then you have nothing to apologize for. You're actually educating people and doing them a service.
Don't let yourself be bunched up with snake oil salesmen who didn't actually do the work. If you did the work and nobody noticed, then it is your duty to talk it up.
The fact that a maker can't also be a seller is dumb. You can switch modes. You have to do whatever it takes to fulfill your mission.
What is "weak-minded"? Seems like an awfully brittle perspective.
Many projects disagree with you on this one. It is quite common to have a policy that forbids PRs without an issue or discussion first.
Meta and Google can spam their unsolicited ads to a billion users but regular people aren't allowed to promote their own projects on niche forums? This is bs. You're the problem here. Self-promoting your harmful values. You're the spammer.
