I don't think anyone is forgetting that, but most people don't care that much about the decentralized part. They care about it being user friendly, free and for companies if it has all the enterprise features / SSO etc. that

It’s enterprise software that’s used in big corporates. I don’t know why you’d expect to see it in the wild as regularly as hobbyist projects on GitHub.

The market for people paying for Gitlab (Which feels more like GitHub but for Enterprise these days) is probably not even slightly overlapping with the market for people running Forgejo.

There’s still a big difference between “vibe coding” which is what it was called 2 years ago when people tried to “one shot” whole products and AI assisted / agentic development in more structured ways like it’s happening right now in

That doesn't really change the fact that it's hard. Do you know how many full movies are on YouTube that infringe on copyright? How many pirated streams are hosted on S3? How many piracy sites are behind Cloudflare. It's just

The same reason spam filtering is hard. It's not possible to catch every misuse of the service without too many false positives.

I bought domains for projects minutes after the idea. I don’t think it’s that weird to not look at the code if it’s a side project and you follow along incrementally via diffs. It’s definitely a different way of working but it’s not that cr

If you have a popular website and you add that parameter the target easily sees who sends them traffic, that could be the base of sponsorships / affiliate arrangements for example.

There’s countless projects that had to change their name for exactly that reason. OP seems to be a bit naive about that fact, easier to change early on than later.

> As for Reticulum, I don't see it competing in the same category at all. Indeed, but when talking to friends who find Meshtastic / Meshcore interesting we often also talk about Reticulum as it has some overlaps and is an inter

Pirating sites also always have a "Please only download the content if you have a valid license" in the footer...it's meaningless especially if there's a high potential for confusion as you are even active right in the

It’s not a good idea to use another companies name in your name. Also stars are a relatively useless metric that’s very easily gamed. I would try to find another metric that’s more focused on what value was provided.

Somewhat related thread from the past days https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47999636 that also discusses Reticulum which is an interesting project in the same space too. From what I could see the general vibe seems to b

It's not about the uptime or scalability. Everyone has to make the choice for themselves if they value their time less than $12/year (Or free if Google is an option) for a critical part of their digital infrastructure to set all t

I think Wallet might be the most used feature for many on the iPhone, especially if they pay with their phone. What makes you think it's looking for a problem to solve? I think Wallet is great and the adoption in certain areas like boa

That's just different customer personas for marketing reasons, just like Vercel has "Build and deploy on the AI Cloud" as their main tag line on the landing page. It doesn't mean they are an "AI company".

Sure, but you wouldn't just say "Oh they are a Postgres" company because they use that specific database somewhere in the stack.

Why do you say it's an AI company? It seems like their business is "Distribute your application to self-managed customers" not especially AI focused.

That's not true, I frequently reserve seats at the "Yorck" cinema chain in Berlin which is part of Europa Cinemas and has seat reservation.

I don’t remember the last time I bought a ticket at the cinema. I like picking my own seats online.
