And my point is that they (or I) may be the target market of Tangled while not being into the social network aspect of it. Which seems totally reasonable, as per the Founder/CEO of Tangled: https://news.ycombinator.com/

Where did I say you should audit all the code you run daily? Not sure if you're being manipulative on purpose or if you genuinely did not understand my point. I was talking about "trust", which is a whole concept in itself.

And you can just use Tangled without the social network aspect. I don't see why you don't want me to use Tangled just because I don't like the social network aspect?!

Radicle is decentralised, not federated... Also if everybody moved to Tangled, I would have to somehow interact with it, wouldn't I? I dislike the social network aspect of GitHub, but it doesn't mean I don't need GitHub.

I guess it may be different now, but I was pretty disappointed with the Fairphone 3+. Maybe I was naive, but from the marketing I thought that they wouldn't make a Fairphone 4 before years, and actually they released it 6 months later.

Feels like you make the email workflow sound more complicated than it is on purpose. One could do that with the PR workflow as well. The email workflow has features that GitHub doesn't have. Most people do without them and don't r

I am curious, does your server "initiate" the connection to the "federation", or do you have to make it publicly accessible (by opening a port, etc)?
131.
by palata 2mo ago
One may want the federation ("I can use all those forges without creating multiple accounts" and "I can open a pull request from my forge into another forge") without wanting the social network angle, right?

I'd like to know if most people use GitHub because of the social network part, or other reasons. I, for one, hate the social network part. One thing with GitHub for open source projects is that the CI is free (and included macOS runner

Just to be clear: I find at proto pretty cool, and I like the fact that I could actually migrate server without losing anything (I think?). I couldn't do that with ActivityPub. And I am using alternatives to GitHub like SourceHut and C

Unless it is a trivial app, it would still require quite some effort to port (and test), which has a cost. What do you gain by using Flutter that compensates for that risk?

Out of curiosity, do you have any experience with Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform? I would like to know how that compares.

This is quite amazing. I wonder: do people actually use the international sign language? Isn't it like Esperanto?

Sounds toxic to me. As in: those who would use that tool are probably those who initiate the meetings, and therefore they would probably use them as a way to blame those who get a bad score. If you think that people don't want to be in

Not that I disagree, but the average software before AI was more like a McDonald's. I have genuinely seen companies who were writing code a lot worse than what AIs produce nowadays. Doesn't necessarily mean that their software is
