Well, writing bash scripts is sometimes useful in everyday live.

What else can it possibly be?

The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub. If people won’t be able to transfer ALL their repos over, not concerning themselves with what is compatible, that would be substantially harder to achieve.

There are ways to do this on some devices. Here’s an article about it, Google translate’d to English:

Em dashes are the correct way to type—substituting them with hyphens is a typographical mistake.

Also, look up Human or Not game.

Most low-cost and primitive bots. It costs nothing for ChatGPT to pretend to be a human in text. Are you sure they aren’t still there, lurking? Look up survivor bias.

I remember encountering my first request to write an essay in order to join an instance. I was flabbergasted and chose an instance without this madness and it appeared this instance was shadowbanned by major ones. Was close to giving up on Fediverse at this point.

Production. Meat production (factory farming) is the largest CO2 source.

The 870 tonnes of CO2 the E network now produces for yearly operation is equivalent to eating 290000 cheeseburgers, as much as the world eats burgers in one day and one hour.

Already banned

Banning some technology just because it “harms the reputation” of a platform sounds a lot like Visa and PayPal attacks on Steam and Itch Io to ban NSFW games.

Crypto technology is diverse. Nano and NanUSD are completely carbon-neurtal as they have zero fees. Gridcoin helps scientific research.

Crypto may be tainted in the US where banking systems are okay, but for individuals in third-world sanctioned countries like Iran it is a life saver. For people in authoritarian countries, it is the only way to fund journalism and civil rights organisations that are illegal in their countries.

The original proposal contained a ban on all blockchain technology, and another code hosting service did that. It is a technology that is used by some governments to democratise digital elections. Fraud in 2022 Moscow council elections was uncovered because they relied on a blockchain technology.

If copyright status is the reason, they should ban any, even a single-line AI contributions.

And it seems a short-sighted decision. Now AI is slop, but what about in 10? 20 years? They would rewrite TOS again?

And what about people they want to migrate from GitHub?

It’s also compatible with Mint, Zorin, Xubuntu, etc, which are another leading distros than Fedora.

What do you mean? Any distro is compatible with any other distro.

Ubuntu forces Snaps (app packaging format) down your throat that take up more space and RAM than Flatpaks, were developed with powerful servers in mind first and common user second and are less commutity-developed standard. Also, last time I checked it had some sponsored bloatware.

Factories are designed around human workers.

Signal requires your phone number, which is not only quite bad for privacy, but also easy to block 2FA for your government if it decides it doesn’t like private chats.

Then try something GNOME-based

Sad I lost access to GitHub account due to their dumb 2FA enforcement.

Picture reminded me of this painting

Most social media are commercial, privately owned, proprietary, centralised, and hence prone to enshittification. If a company will start to make anti-consumer moves to increase profit, most people will be too locked-in and invested to care to switch. Fediverse is a collection of independent instances in one decentralised network, constantly competing with each other with no full monopoly possible, and working under an open and forkable protocol.

It is an old, 7 months old thread about a different situation. I linked the repo so you would read beginning of README.
