It's really "because most users don't care". When go out to buy a TV or a car or a fridge, I just get the best one out there. I don't do research on whether they are based on open specifications/protocols. I do

Do you know how well NextCloud works in a home environment? Is it really easy to automate the punching of a hole in the home firewall to allow access from anywhere? If you know of a project that automates this punching, it's a great co

If you are looking at custom domain + self-hosting, I suggest looking into cloudron.io. They have wordpress as an app (but I recommend looking into Ghost as well).

I loved reading https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/12125 . It is a great example of open source persistence despite it not being a priority. Things move forward at snail pace and stalls multiple times. Just

Can someone explain how badly `snap install --classic anbox-installer` might mess up my development machine? Can I expect uninstall to properly clean up?

I am very happy for Lyft! Would not be pretty if they went down and we are left only with Uber. Uber will start bullying even more.

A Cloud machine look like https://cloudron.io . It's distributed and they have the button you seek. Many github pages have this button already: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat#cloudronio , htt

I should have been more clear. (In my mind) The primary reason why people go to gitlab.com was for "free" tier. This is basically for free everything. Now that CI is paid, I am wondering how this will work out. For me, this is gre

Interesting. I would be curious to see how this works out. My understanding was that people went to GitLab for the same reason they went to bitbucket - unlimited private repos.

Oh, thanks for the link. This is quite incredible. Where are the ads btw? I don't see a single ad on your website :-) Or did you remove them post-acquisition?

Gmail is bread and butter for their ad ecosystem.

Wow, 6k in ad revenue per month sounds a lot. How many page hits are required to get this kind of ad revenue?

Interesting, I though horizon is dead (because Rethink went down). Last news I heard was them going with LF but haven't seen much updates after that

I think many opensource communities do not want to dogfood on other opensource projects anymore. They want the best product out there for other things and more often than not these products are closed source SaaS products.

You are horrified of a future but I am already horrified with the present where I am at the mercy of Google for my startup. Their search is opaque and my product has to do various hacks to be discovered. Email from any of my servers end in

Google also started as a search engine to help me find my way to my real destination. Instead it has snuck in and started tracking where I am going, what I am doing there, why I am there and what not. If Google is allowed to change business

Anonymous mode is really just a placebo. All it does it keep your browser history clean. Don't be fooled that Google does not know it's you. Google can easily track you using the IP address. This is really as simple as I saw this

Huh? Did you read what I wrote? I said exactly that. Why does not paying money absolve Google of anything? So, if you sign up for my free SaaS service, I can do whatever with your data?

We all hate ads, no doubt about it. But I don't like the way media is going about accusing Comcast and Verizon for what the consumers brought upon themselves. Comcast/Verizon simply want exactly what Google does. AFAIK, Google doe

If you are look into a startup, beware of companies that are in "growing" phase. While this might get you all pumped, in most cases they just sideline you if you are not the decision maker (Which is what happens if you are a devel

Just wanted to comment that I totally admire the bravery behind this post. GitLab definitely grows too fast (it was 200 last I checked). It amazes me that far too many here are afraid of repercussions and retaliation by future employers (ju

I can't believe there are still string overflow bugs. Might be a good idea to invest sometime in Rust. On a side note, I have been looking for a good doc on how I can slowly migrate my existing code base step-by-step to Rust. A total r

Does GitHub charge companies when keeping only opensource code? Like the big companies like Google, Microsoft have lots of code there - who is paying for it? Or this is just free marketing for GH?

In other news, WhatsApp said their mission is about building a company that is not about ads. We got suckered into it thinking it's pay-for-use app.
