The Quuuuuill

of the gogs family tree it’s my middle favorite.

1. forgejo
2. gitea
3. gogs

forgejo gets the edge because of federation. gitea’s corporate situation is less than ideal. gogs simply doesn’t have the features to be a complete solution

I was not aware of that! Hopefully it encourages drivebys!

I agree and also don’t at the same time. It’s coming from a genuine place of you get more driveby contributions on Github than you do Gitlab or Codeberg, but at the same time, people will ultimately go where the projects are, and I think the more open source code we host on Codeberg the more users we’ll get on Codeberg, and the more Codeberg users we get the more driveby contributions projects will get on Codeberg. Like I get where an individual project is coming from preferring Github over Codeberg, BUT where we are currently where everyone is preferring Github over codeberg is ultimately just us strangling ourselves. I think when Microsoft bought GitHub and a lot of projects moved to Codeberg, and then again when Microsoft started pushing Copilot hard… IDK, I guess what I’m getting at is WHAT IS THE HOLD UP PEOPLE! Move your projects to Codeberg! And when you’re looking for solutions to problems you’re having, look on Codeberg first. For one thing, it’s actually lowkey nicer to use at this point, and it does have enough traction that you should get enough driveby contributions to be worth your while

(i agree entirely, but i have to accept a lot of people just go wherever the most users are)

if that happens, people should migrate to gitlab or forgejo. gitlab is a Ukrainian company, and forgejo development is primarily driven by Codeberg in Germany.

she largely wasn’t. she was writing a warning and no one took it.

yeah. it’s not like we keep dogs because we mistakenly think they’re small noisy excitable people. we don’t have to assume animals are dumber than us

Democracy is a mental construct. It only constrains you if you believe in it. But it can give you over power as long as you convince enough people to do it. It will, however, never be restored once broken through violent means without the use of violent means.

It’s unbelievable selfish short sightedness, isn’t it? It’s astounding to think about when you realize that these freaks think they’re doing what’s best because they’re so propagandized to think that worrying only about yourself and your closest relatives is what’s right and good, meanwhile the rest of us are trying to ensure there’s a world for the children of 160 years from now to inherit.

Yeah I’m over trying to reclaim the American flag. It’s been entirely lost as a symbol and can never be redeemed.

It’s always about the dollars, not about the votes

I used to get death threats online pretty regularly. It definitely doesn’t balance out. That said, Musk has earned this. I’m not going to feel sad about a guy doing a fascist coup having his feelings hurt when people don’t like it

refusing to name these people genuinely helps stripping them of the power of constant mental presence, which they benefit from

this is who he is. he speaks out of turn. he does not speak honestly. he does not tell stories that connect him to culture, only stories that divorce him of it. he does not self deprecate. why doesn’t he do any of this? because he is not of us. he doesn’t act like us. he acts like hurtful hollywood stereotypes of who we are is who we are. his understanding of what appalachia is comes less from Union Maid, Solidarity Forever, The Pines, bell hooks, and Nikki Giovanni and more from beverly hillbillies and the andy griffith show (and he doesn’t understand that the andy griffith show came from another era and acts as a snapshot of how we were perceived at one time, it’s a packaging of our suffering for some petty cash, not a fucking documentary)

the moral fiber of donald trump’s being are much like the fiber he ingests at mealtime: nonexistent.

well in fairness, trump can’t sit up that straight. you need a spine to do that

as an Appalachian, let me say this:

i hate jd vance. i hate everything about him. i hate the way that he walk, the way that he talk, the way that he dress. i even hate when he says “hillbilly”. some shit just cringeworthy, it ain’t even gotta be deep i guess.

this dude profits on my people’s pain and claims to be of us when he could not more clearly be an Outsider. like… if he knew even the first thing about Appalachia, which he doesn’t, because there has been a century long effort to erase our history for us, and he grew up far from us and had no chance of ever learning the truth, he’d know a Jewish Ukrainian is an embodiment of multiple aspects of our shared cultural roots.

like. this dude is bullying his cousin because the thing that forced his ancestors off their homeland in europe is paying him money. this greedy fucking bastard is selling out his own people and his cousins for a paltry sum. to reiterate: he claims us, but he is not of us. the way he talks about us is hurtful, and the way he speaks to our closest international cousins is straight up bullshit. dude is straight up evil and doesn’t even show the savvy to be good at being evil

the cult of the gun is a fascinating thing

i think the thread starter question is more about if nato is even about to continue existing

meta employees need to unionize and strike. honest to god for the good of all mankind. facebook is an incredibly dangerous propaganda tool
