I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.

Jellyfin letting me set a number of episodes to play before it stops. 👍

Not that nieche, I bet a lot of people wanted it. Kinda surprised it took til v12

I want to make my cursor increasingly grow when I wiggle it.

Some know the OP is into GitLab more than GitHub ^^

Sync for Lemmy will be fixed any day now...

When you have submitted multiple PRs and they get ignored even though you follow their ridiculously complicated CI and testing guidelines, so you just fork the repo and do whatever you want. (And then hope things don’t break a year from now because you aren’t pulling any new features and fixes.)

FreeCAD development basically.

Factorio allows you to transfer items between space stations now.

IDK if that's the kind of thing the post is about, and there has certainly not been 5 years. Also, no time for Yay!, because I'm busy designing some space platform fabric...

You can now toggle file extension exports to either be uppercase or lowercase

This tickles the 'tism.

I can remember back when that one feature I waited for was a functioning DX11 driver like the box fucking said. Fucking AMD...

krille-chan still refusing to review my room order and subspace categorization feature request for FluffyChat even though I've already created a mockup by directly forking and modifying the source code (twice):

What feature are you waiting for? 🙂

Then the project gets archived 6 months later and nobody forks it...

I completely get this. You check it so often that you start to recognize the usual reviewers and the little back-and-forth, and then one day that small feature you have been hoping for finally lands. It is funny how satisfying something so specific can feel after waiting that long.

‘that niche feature’ being basic security.

I'm still salty about Affinity being bought by Canva and THAT'S the version that has image trace built-in 😭

Reminds me of that screenshot where some chronic gooner asked the Cyberpunk devs way before release what kind of sex den simulation would be available.

GTA5 finally added the ability to make your own missions not too long ago, but only after I stopped giving a shit about playing the game.
