well, they do. unlike cryptobros, for some its not a form of invesrment gambling. but I hope most of them don't write crypto with a capital C.

because they are a lot more polished and feature complete. I come from boost, and use liftoff now, and I like it a lot, but there are still several things I don't like. I loved boost for its look and features, including the tons of settings that I set once and was perfect until the end.

However, I do find it funny these "American patriots" feel they need to use Canadian servers to exercise their free speech.

Canadian servers? what do you mean? fedidb does not show server location to me

nearly all websites implement cookie banners illegally, by intention, and that's not the fault of the GDPR

just look at it. it is not enough that AI is boiling the planet, but with every iteration of copilot, all those automatic checks are reran! on the first mentioned PR, the checks have been running for 20 minutes when I'm reading it, and there's like a dozen of them!

other projects have to pay for processing time on github actions!!

this is insanity

If you really want to see it, you may try loading it up in archive.org or achive.today. The bonus is that the webpage now has been archived and anyone can find it if it disappears.

Also, if you install uBlock Origin, it might be able to automatically hide these access blocker things. Actually, it is totally able, the only question is if you have a block list enabled that tells it how to do so

Edit: just noticed after sending that this is a 2 years old post. Sorry! How did this get into my subscriptions feed?

an additional note: part of why is it not perfect is that you can't send money privately to another person, like you would do with cash. in transactions like that there is a 3rd party involved that overses the transaction

because they can barely keep the lights on with one provider. but I'm sure you will be a long-term signal backup subscriber, and until then you are regularly sending them donations.

I don't think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don't want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

nowadays if I go there, I only do because I'm following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

How did you follow it? Tried with pasting its name in multiple formats, but wasnt able to follow the account, let alone view it

there is. if the updater gui integrates with packagekit and systemd, it can start an offline update that reboots your system and installs the updates while nothing else is running.

kind of like on windows, except that this is one of the things where windows made the right call. complex software does not handle it well if its program libraries and assets are being replaced by newer ones that the running version cannot understand.

its still kind of a new thing, not all distros make use of it yet, but Fedora does, and it's not a Fedora custom solution but something that most distros can have.

automatic filesystem snapshots and rollback can be integrated to this too, and then bye bye to updates breaking the whole system.

Maybe they saw that Twitter didnt feel any change, and that Reddit is still confident after the backlash, and thought this is the time.. but then they realized they arent as brave as their creators are angry already. I guess you can play with people's hobbies, but not with their livelihood

wasn't he unbanned?

but as the other user said, this is not a bypass but a hardcoded message. other open source software also has something similar

PeerTube is one of them, but usually you will find it under any other name like TILVids and Kraut.Zone, as the developers dont have an open instance. But be aware that since its much more resource intensive to host a video platform, there may be fewer of them, and also the content format seems to work out less in this world for now.

truth be told, the former branding was much better. It's unfortunate that they needed to resort to have a fork

Your argument in relation to GitHub does not take in the reality of the effort involved with migrating to a different platform, effort that is likely unpaid, has no logistical upside and stalls the development efforts of a project,

forgejo can automatically import issues, PRs, Wiki articles, and automatic pull/push mirrors can be set up to keep the repo up to date at other places.

the CI/CD system is almost the same.

all the usual features are the same or very similar, including the whole user interface.

not to mention breaking every single source code repository link across the wider internet, links that represent publicity and community engagement.

who said they need to delete the repo from github?

I think it's admirable that a project is asking its community if it should stay or move

it indeed would be admirable if the communication did not contain offensive tones at multiple places.

and also don't forget that they already migrated once. but in the meantime it seems they have gone back to github for reasons unknown to me.

maybe you could install a "portable" linux system on it. you may want to encrypt it though

that sounds to ge good advice, but I'm pretty sure they would yave done that themselves, if they had a backup.

and, if you read the whole post, you'll know that they are physically unable to keep a backup.

It's not as fancy. No graphs, blinking lights, paneled layout.

apparently it has it all
