Isn't this what the kids call "rawdogging" nowadays? Rawdogging icecream, rawdogging life, rawdogging rawdogging.

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 [email protected] 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!

A single contributor (oelmekki) had started integrating ActivityPub into GitLab, which could have been a huge win for the source forge, but despite praising him for it GitLab didn't assign enough resources to help him out. Unsurprisingly oelmekki ran out of steam and now, a year or so later, Gitlab just closed the epic.

Comments have started coming in from the community (and customers) expressing their frustration with GitLab over the decision. The ticket was reopened but without an official communication.

LKML: The end boss of kernel development

Contributing to Linux was my first time interacting with a mailing list, at least for the purpose of sharing and reviewing code. I thoroughly hated the entire process. I tried in vain to write about my experience in a constructive manner, but it always turned into an unhinged rant, so I gave up. In summary, I think that sending and reviewing patches via email is exactly as insane as it sounds.

That's the worst part but kconfig doesn't sound much better. Even if I had time, I wouldn't try contributing to the kernel for those 2 reasons alone.

It is great that he got to the point he is now. Kudos for pervering.

“As should now be clear, this ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta’s use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful. It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one,” the ruling reads.

I still don't understand why something so unstable and far from ready had to be put into the kernel upstream. How did Kent manage that? Is he really that good with words? Reading his messages on LKML, it really doesn't seem so. No-one is a god programmer, but was his code so convincing, his practices so good, his testing so thorough, that it being unstable could be ignored?

It's like to hackterms but opensource. I found myself having to look up some terms and not finding them on wikipedia. When I finally find the meaning, I add to my own personal dictionary and rarely hackterms, because contributing to a closed-source project that might just someday disappear seems wrong.

A few people pointed out that many rust projects were MIT licensed and since then I indeed have seen MIT licensed projects everywhere in Rust. Then I found the link of this post and it looks like MIT was by far the most popular license in all of opensource in 2023.

Any ideas why?

It allows adding github and gitlab to the bridge, but I don't get what it does. Anybody know?

What's going on @[email protected]? Have you gone back to github?

A distributed, content-addressed filesystem across the internet, not just in a home LAN, than can be mounted (fuse or whatever else), doesn't require storing data twice, has a reasonable API and acceptable documentation.

Does something like that exist?

Both seem to post similar memes and jokes. This community doesn't have a sidebar text to clarify what the community is nor when to post what stuff where, and it's not clear why the community exists.

I left Github a while ago and have been relying on simple pre-push scripts in my workflow, but would like to be able to test PRs from others without putting my machine at risk. Besides codeberg and radicle (neither of which have reliable CI), I also have a build machine, where I could run CI jobs, however it is important that the CI jobs can also run locally so that external people do not require access to the build machine.

Is there a CI that can do those things (run locally and remotely)?

Why do so many games rely on client-side anti cheat and stuff like kernel level anti-cheat?

I like the prospect of more Linux hardware hitting the market with officially supported distros. The European Union should be funding this kind of stuff to supplant Microsoft within its borders.

Capitalism. As soon as bad PR is over, it's back to business.
