@astro @rysiek @dimitrisk if you *have to* have you code discoverable on GH, just use GH only as mirror of your repo elsewhere. I 'm doing the oposite too: create on my gitea mirror of everything i notice as interesting on GH.

@Zyra shitposting is basically therapy i agree

As a new year is coming, hopefully we can turn it into one where the free software community and #FOSS is becoming stronger and able to address the many struggles we face.

We must continue to fight our fight for software #freedom and towards a better world in general.

I'll post this article that highlights some of our great challenges, and want to say that I'm hopeful we're able to overcome them eventually.

Particularly on #Fediverse when we practice #SocialCoding ..

Take that #persona5

the knowledge that "-ing" used to be a regular patronymic suffix in old english has led me to the subsequent realization that "duckling" could mean "son of duck" and i find it hard to deal with this

Youre telling me Im meant to take Esperanto seriously when the common greeting has the words 'Fart Ass'

One of the worst aspects of capitalism is that it's often much cheaper to prevent crises but we don't because there's cost involved. If the crisis never happened, we don't measure that as a success in terms of resources, and those prevention costs become "inefficiencies"

How many apps are installed on your phone? (not counting pre-installed ones)

Stop making things that you think people want and just make the things you enjoy making.

People want that thing more, they don't really know what they want.

We created technologies called "peer to peer" and they were great. But technocrats made whatever they could to kill that because once you take out the man in the middle, people can share anything - even without paying, can you imagine!

People instantly used it to share all the files they always wanted to but couldn't, so companies not only didn't want it but they straight up panicked. Piracy! Got to kill it and fast.

So now we have this cloud bullshit and the future is looking even worse.

all foss packages sound ridiculous and made-up

ok google what is rebase

#TIL that in #Git you can do `--simplify-by-decoration` when using `git log` with `--graph`, so:

git log --graph --oneline --simplify-by-decoration

This will show only those commits as a graph that have a decoration on them (e.g. a branch, tag etc.), so you get a really nice condensed view of your repo without all the "intermediate" commits.

Really handy, if you want to see at a glance which branch is ahead of others, for example.

back in my days we used to look out of actual windows. i'm having none of this ”windows” ”outlook” shit

i assure you viewer, this close up of Dinobots ass is essential to the plot
