They certainly tried (see Poetry, Pyenv, Conda, etc.). But that was mostly done by Python developers in Python, which is frankly the entire problem.

I hope this encourages the remaining Ruby devs to move to languages that aren’t quite so awful to work with. Even Python is significantly better at this point, now that uv has mostly solved the tooling disaster.

I have. It just goes nowhere. The number of people you need to sign off what is essentially a donation is just too high. You always hit someone who says “why do we need to do this?” and the answer is “we don’t”.

You need some actual benefit before most companies will actually pay money. It doesn’t have to be huge though. Sometimes support is enough (as long as you don’t also offer free support e.g. via GitHub issues). Phabricator did that and it seemed to work.

Open core also definitely works. My company pays for GitHub premium because we need the features - primarily merge trains.

They’re very rarely going to donate out of the goodness of their hearts, and if you expect them to do that because you think they are morally obliged to then you’re going to be disappointed.

Yes but why will it take market share away from Google? I can’t see why anyone would use it. It’s going to be slower, less well supported and not even any more secure.

Servo at least has potential upsides: better security and performance. But another C++ engine is never going to have either of those.

Does it need another C++ browser engine though? I don’t see what advantage this will possibly offer over just using Blink or WebKit.

Ah that sounds cool for the future at least.

Because if you already have a Codeberg account you don’t need to create another account to contribute.

Still way more annoying than Github. Still, they apparently are moving from an existing mailing list / git send-email “solution”, so it is at least a huge step in the right direction.

If they’re philosophically against Github I don’t know why they didn’t just move to Codeberg though. Maybe that’s too modern for people who have only just moved on from mailing lists.

Because it’s more inconvenience than help for users who are average or above

Shouldn’t be a problem for you then right? 😄

TL;DR: yes.

At the time it made way more sense because the “traditional” smart watches were way worse. Not even one day battery life. I would say Pebble still wins on size though - actually normal watch sized.

As for why they didn’t catch on… Probably a little bit ahead of their time, and also less shiny.

Eh web rings were pretty lame even when they existed. There are plenty of ways to find new stuff these days. I hear they even have sites where anyone can post links and vote on which ones are good.
