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!
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?
And now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.
I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don’t we stream raw camera feeds?
all hail lynx
I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
Rayon and dashmap were new to me. I have to look at CoW pointers. Not entirely sure I’ll need CoW pointers but first I have to understand them.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?
“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.
Isn’t Gemini a transport protocol? It can transport binary data and text data. Wouldn’t it be easy to send JavaScript? If there’s a browser on the other end that supports JavaScript, it can be executed.
But setting up even a simple HTTP server is a lot of work.
How so? python3 - m http.server and you’re done. The text can be read even by CLI browsers that don’t depend on javascript.
Or do you have some other scenario in mind? Does Gemini support SSL?
And Apple. And Amazon. Actually, all the stuff from Magastan.
