Your broad statement is ridiculous. I am not friends with 3 billions of people, but many people I care about are on the fediverse; everyone (within the margin of error) is on the fediverse. No one (within the margin of error) cares about a

There's a bit of conflating terms but the underlying point makes sense: topics shouldn't be linked with an instance, they should reach across different servers. This is what groups are for, and are being actively worked on.

I don't use make, so I wanted to see what was wrong with it, and the author's argument is that it's old. Not very convincing. Your description starts to be more interesting, and I feel like mk (the successor of make from the

I wanted to see what was wrong with Makefile and how Taskfile solved the issue, but the post doesn't explain; it's more a tutorial on how to use Taskfile. If the author reads this, I think we'd love to know what's wrong

Plan 9 has introduced mk, a successor to make: https://plan9.io/sys/doc/mk.html It's basically the same with some niceties and good defaults. One of them is the introduction of attributes, the most prominent

Their obligation is only to the users who paid for it, and if you host the paid version to serve someone else, the obligation is on you only. That doesn't mean the code can't get distributed more widely. I guess it's a bet ba

Oh, sorry, I didn't understand you were using iOS, I don't use Apple products and I didn't know there was no proper syncthing on iOS.

I understand your concern, personally syncthing does a perfect job for me. I'm never editing from multiple devices at the same time, and by the time I switch to another device the content is synced. If not, I give it a little time and
