Found via the #Sourcehut mailing list. While I'll still be sticking to Sourcehut because of its friendliness to low-end machines, I think this is still worth reading.
Reminds me of some threads on the #Guix lists.

@csepp i think it's quite misguided. Codeberg is easily visible enough and well used, and particular projects draw their own contributors, as is clear with mastodon.el but also many other similar projects (emacs and otherwise). Codeberg also has good seo or whatever so projects are easy to find from a search. He doens't really seem to have considered it, to my mind. I think the whole emacs and free/diy community should really leave the gh hellscape, otherwise you're just making "free" software for Uncle Sam.

@csepp I think I agree on a lot of the author's points, but disagree on some of the conclusions. The big one being that politics are wholly separate from individual action and there's some, what I read as, governmental solution to GitHub. Microsoft maybe, but GitHub was pushing towards a monoculture long before MS bought them.

Can't fault the author, though. There's only so much time in the day and you need to pick your battles.

> We at #Symbolics were slow to acknowledge this. We believed our own “dogma” even as it became less true. It was embedded in our corporate culture. If you disputed it, your co-workers felt that you “just didn’t get it” and weren’t a member of the clan, so to speak. This stifled objective analysis. (This is a very easy problem to fall into — don’t let it happen to you!)

#Guix is cool, but running it on a 32 bit netbook is utter fucking suffering. It is very obvious that most developers don't test it on slow hardware, nor without a network connection.
Also, the bug tracker infra is decades behind the competition. I really don't get why we haven't switched to Sourcehut.

@csepp yeah. it feels like recent updates to the bug tracket have just made search worse too
tbh it's prob on debbugs mostly cause it's technically a gnu project

& like. running it on low-powered hardware in general is fucked up
been tryin to get it on a phone. I set up an offload server of slightly more power and it's. agony.
substitute availability and pulls needing to rebuild things always don't help too

do still love it tho

I'd like to ask everyone even mildly excited about the new #Apple hardware to look at some graphs of environmental indicators and ask if more unrepairable novelty hardware is something we should be using finite natural resources on right now.

@csepp That's why I #WontBuy any #Apple hardware, since their #AntiRepair design is an #EnvoirmentalCrime on it's own.

the only winning move is work towards a #repairable alternative:

@csepp maybe better focus on chinese manufacturing crappy android devices which cover 90% of the market and environmental effect. Apple almost manufacturers on demand and hardware life is way longer

The #pilot for #Lackadaisy is so fricking good. 🤩
Some of the best action in #animation I've seen, especially independent animation. Also that vehicle chase, *chef kiss*.
I really hope this gets more episodes.

@csepp Whoaaaa! I used to follow that comic religiously!!! That's so cool~!

Hack two Seagate drives through the management port, install some custom code, use it to run a post-collapse database, do it on multiple drives, connect them occasionally via SATA, you now have high capacity sneakernet nodes.

inspired in part by
spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&p

I'm not even sure if SATA supports this, it probably doesn't, so one of the HDDs would have to act like a motherboard's SATA controller.

Trying to figure out the architecture for a somewhat self-hosting OS for the #PocketViewer. Instead of sleeping.
#CollapseOS would only give me access to about 28K of near addressable RAM, but maybe that would be enough?
I don't see much point in scrapping the existing OS though and its standard library would be nice to have access to. Well... I guess I could start by shipping cOS as a C application and providing a C call primitive...?

Csepp 🌢

If I could take over the OS then I'd get 128K of RAM, that's two full 16 bit segments! Wow.

Ohmyglowcloud I might land an internship at my uni and work on a symbolic execution engine 🤩
Also I got a 5 for this semester of my thesis project, yay! UwU

Why do web devs think cutting off text is a good idea? Just get rid of a few (max-)width/height properties and everything becomes readable.

This toot brought to you by #Mastodon's profile metadata always making me hover over it.

cc #webdev and #gui because this is not a rhetorical question.

@csepp All I can say is CSS avoids cutting off text when unless explicitly told to. In an attitude that an ugly page is better than an illegible page...

Apparantly webdevs or their bosses dislike this default!

:garfield:‍fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@csepp idk the reasoning is probably to keep the height consistent (or that you should only add short texts?), it does look a bit more messy with varying height rows.

But I do prefer being able to read the whole thing as well, still

@csepp In my experience tables rarely work in mobile/short width designs. Mastodon should probably change its presentation of metadata, even if that'll take more rows.

Ah heck, just caught up with the #9front list. Rest in peace Mycroftiv, you made a really awesome community with 9gridchan.

Heck, keeping a #wiki has been amazing. Any time I need to pull up some article that I remember seeing, I don't have to frantically search for it online, or dig through browser histories on several devices, it's just there, 1-2 greps away.
Why is this not what we teach on #IT classes to kids???

@csepp I KNOW RIGHT?! Teaching people how to learn should be the first thing-
