Such a useful project as this is struggling with fiscal sustainability. Opensource really needs a method of funding. I mean, there are probably thousands of institutions using this for free. If they had commissioned or paid somebody to implement this same functionality, it would’ve take a full team probably a month and they would’ve charged companies out of their ass for it as well as further development. But Xe Laso is doing this shit for free and most institutional users can’t be bothered enough to pay up to even change the damn “inappropriate anime mascot” 🙄
I seriously hope a license like the Post Open License get developed and used. It’s just disgusting to me that such projects have commercial entities demanding features without having to pay. Fuck them. Fuck you too, Duke University.
Arch users recommending Arch to beginners. In other words, Arch is fine, the community isn’t.
Here? Or create a community where you’re the admin and make it “admin post only”. You might need to ask your instance admins if that’s alright though.
In other words, use the fediverse 🙂
The comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.
Uh… Responding to the wrong post? Not sure what you’re on about.
Does it include route search using public transport?
Regardless, congrats on the release!
“That’s stupid”. Great argument. “This content doesn’t exist on $platform ergo $platform is stupid”. “Be the change you want to see is stupid because it’s stupid!”.
Can’t wait for the content you’re going to contribute to peertube.
@darklang@mas.to why opensource it on GitHub instead of Codeberg or a similar platform?
Can’t you use r2modman instead? Or does an old source mod community exist?
Always ready to complain. All these things need to exist in order to gain traction. You need to have content and multiple ways to view it. Complaining that there’s an additional way to view it is just unnecessary negativity.
If you think there isn’t enough content, be the change you want to see: make it.
Guys, stop using github. Put your stuff on gitlab or codeberg (clearnet or on I2P), or even put it on radicle (which can also be hosted on TOR or I2P). They’ll have a much harder time taking down stuff on alternatives and it’ll be nearly impossible on hidden services.
