I don't understand why that matters at all.

They only created the account to bump a request they had no involvement in. I could understand the original requestor asking for an update, but this is just some rando with no contributions to any project at all.

Just because they didn't bring up the original request doesn't mean they aren't interested in it having a solution.

How do you know they weren't keeping an eye on the issue before creating an account?

Or maybe they just ran into a case where they need the issue resolved, but aren't sure if they should wait or if it's likely to take long enough that they should find an alternative or a workaround.

As if the pointless prodding of “any updates? :)” is ever called for. If there were any updates, there would be fucking updates posted. I frequently get comments like this in projects they I maintain, sometimes less than a day after the issue was opened, and it does nothing but annoy me and make me not want to resolve their issue. Why is there an expectation that maintainers have infinite amounts of time to fix whate…

> As if “any updates? :)” is ever called for

have to disagree here - it's entirely possible that somebody just forgot to deploy something and actually might appreciate the ping.

I don't know their project, but personally I don't have anything against people "bumping" a thread that has gone cold without an actual solution. I am busy and I don't take my open source project very seriously so things do fall through the cracks from time to time. EDIT: This is a small scale project and the user waited 19 days before bumping. To me that's perfectly reasonable.

The user who bumped it just created their GitHub account a couple hours ago, that person wasn't even involved in the original request.

That doesn't make the issue any less legitimate. If someone pings me for problem X and I don't solve their issue, if someone finds the thread on Google and bumps it that's still one of my users having an issue.

Above all, I much prefer this to people that find my email/LinkedIn and pings me there. That's where I draw the line.

I understand your frustration, but to me the 'any updates' is a signal that someone actually cares and is impacted by an issue, which can help for prioritization when the backlog is long.

There are ways to do it properly of course, and I understand that this kind of pings can be annoying, but people usually have no ill intention/expectations. Take it as a lame way to put a +1 on an issue

This is involving NATO in the war and is casus belli. Don't do that.

You're right in theory. In reality, though, allowing citizens to call him President Putain is a casus belli, as far as Russia is concerned, so I'm not sure what actual difference it makes. For the record, Russia also said sanctions would be considered an act of war. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Russia says a lot, I wouldn't believe all of it to be either honest or true.

That aside Russia coming up with it's own reasons for engaging in war with a country is different than Russia having internationally recognized reasons for engaging in war with a country.

My entire team of software engineers are Ukranian, residing in Ukraine (I'm not in Ukraine, nor am I Ukrainian). For the past few weeks our "water cooler talk" has been almost exclusively about the rising threat of invasion, if not directly about the ongoing conflict in the SE of Ukraine. A number of the team signed up for the volunteer defence force and have spent countless weekends training with the army. The morni…

The day after the invasion, I was flabbergasted by how much people don’t give a sht. My Twitter feed was (and still is) people announcing their new ventures, doing their usual marketing, posting their vacay pics etc. Social media destroyed humanity. I deleted my Reddit after 14 years after I saw pics of burned bodies from Ukraine on a random SFW sub with folks making fun of people dying. Fuk this war and all who think it’s not their business.
