Petition to ban this style of emoji use
I'll sign, this is just awful. Like a weird punctuation that is just there to be in the way.
I agree. It's ChatGPT style, I hate it.
Your comment made me go down a rabbithole and this thread pretty much summarizes everything: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/firefox/comments/azg1xz/disablingblocking_emojis/
That "report" 📄 was pretty pointless 🤹. Just three 3️⃣ paragraphs saying "we did stuff 🧸and we're happy about the community". 🚀
Thanks for the tldr. And I appreciate the emojis in the text. My reading and understanding experience was elevated by them 🥦. Just like 🔮 with OP's 👞 title 🚀
I fucking hate corporate use of emojis.
Just feels like some businesspeople were convinced it drives up "engagement", so that's what their underlings to do.
It makes me sick. I support any and all efforts to remove these ideas and the people who perpetuate them from the free software space.
Y’all are some critical motherfuckers
2024?
Generally speaking, you would produce a report recapping a year after that year is over, yes.
But not usually after nearly half a year later
Actually, yeah, every year for them its released the summer of the following year.
Each subproject submits their own detailed overview of the prior year, including any conference/working group events, sprints, pictures from the same, mentorship progeams, major changes in individual projects, as well as detailed financials for where money came from, where the money went.
It generally will take a few months to compile that (especially when you're talking an open source foundation with a multitude of groups under the umbrella), and then time to organize it all.
Even companies will take several months after the conclusion of their year to provide similar details in an annual review.
Its a bit late this year being in August, usually its June, but late spring to summer is when it gets released every year.
Edited to add: I think it even came out in October or November some years back. 2018? 2019? Something like that.
interesting
Reports are usually done for the past year. 2025 has not finished, so no day of making a complete report.
