   I'm not sure I can follow your logic of having smaller communities not being decentralized "at user level" whatever you mean by that. And you hyperfocus on Mastodon - which granted is correct as we're talking about mass

   That is true, but due to the smaller size and larger number of instances, it's easier to find a place where you won't get randomly banned without an admin taking the time to talk to you about what's wrong. My instance has abo

   I think that presenting this as "fait accompli" is incorrect. I don't think actual development even started on anything.

   In an ironic turn of events the main repo is on github: https://github.com/forgefed/forgefed (and even without any mirrors on codeberg). :)

   Maybe you're eagerness to sing praises to the forgefed project overshadowed the common knowledge that git is already distributed but, git is already distributed. :P I think that's what parent was sarcastically trying to imply.

   I didn't mean it in that way, but people think having a codified set of rules makes it look less arbitrary and less of an abuse of privilege when they decide to boot someone. I'm in your camp to be honest, as a maintainer I feel l

   The way I understand the necessity for CoCs is not to tell people how to behave, but to have a clear path to understanding why some people get removed or denied contributing to a project. It's easier to say "your behaviour contrav

    I understand we're all old and cynical here, but one of the tenets of discussions on HN would be to take someone's arguments at face value, so I prefer to believe that the EU as an organization actually wants to diminish social ex

    Sure. But the EU is not just your average bureaucracy. It's an entity that has as one of it's specific goals the following[1]: > combat social exclusion and discrimination [1] https://european-union.europa.eu/pr

    But as long as there are still people using desktop computers, removing access from them is an overreach and makes these ideas totally undemocratic. I am frankly baffled that an organization having the principles and know-how of the EU ca

    Being a full grown adult and still looking at a whole category of other people as freaks and dysgenics (yay for actual nazi terminology here, which I was actually trying really hard not to label you with) is a very non-humanistic perspectiv

    I must be behind on my political theory because that does not follow any logic I know of. The extreme left advocates for equal rights and equal wealth distribution, while the extreme right advocates for themselves in opposition to all other

    OK, but I'm not convinced for this specific case. And it wouldn't take a peer reviewed study to convince me. Issues in the git submodules handling that you could link to C's lack of safety would suffice. However what you&#x27

    If we're talking about feelings, I find it "not likely" unless, perhaps as a side-effect of rethinking the whole feature all together. Or do you have some actual indicators that the issues with how modules are likely to break
17. 257.▲
    by mariusor 1y ago

    Your reply seems to imply that using rust would make submodules better. Since that's not the case, maybe you can provide an alternative where rust would address an actual issue git users have.

    Does it make me sound pretentious? That's fine, we're debating literary styles after all. :D

    I would assume that his suggestions for clarity in "scientific papers" and his literary style don't overlap all that much to infer the former from the later.

    For me personally, and I've never read Dickens in original English, it reads quite well. It's perhaps showing its age, but with a definite character and recognizable style. I'd call it a good piece of literature, and frankly

    I hate to have to say this, because people seem pretty quick at drawing the wrong conclusions about anyone that disagrees with their very strong opinions, I'm not even saying that what DHH said is in actual support of Linehan, but some

    I think it hits quite different when the canceling is done by a gaggle of oversensitive Karens as opposed to by members of the government.

    Generally the compositor doesn't allow you back in. You can go to a console and do some emergency stuff from there, but you're locked out of your original session.

    I disagree on this one. In the same way you can't be prosecuted twice for the same crime in the US system under the "double jeopardy" clause, there should be an equivalent system where the same law can't be pushed over a

    I doubt that this can be actually done as intended because the wording of a bill can be changed enough to pretend it's not the same as the previous versions. I can't really think of a way to make this work, but indeed it would be

    Very uncharitable perspective on people that do the work for free. I can understand not wanting to use a distribution where breakages can happen, but being a dick about it less so.

    > You can’t put ads in it That's a silly thing to say. Of course you can put ads in it since it allows linking to things. What you mean probably, is that it's not as easy as embedding some google ads markup in your sidebar.
