Time to go back to email lists. Anyone can come along sure. But it's only going to be the most determined.

I would have thought that you fix it locally, git commit, and regenerate the patch set again. Maybe with optional squashing of commits so each patch set doesn't keep growing.

I don't think the code is the problem they are cleaning up. I think they just want to remove the contributor from the history.

It is. Relatively so. This smells of Mozilla wanting to package things in there that Linux distro maintainers wouldn't package in themselves.

You may say I'm being overtly cynical and as much as I love Firefox, I can't say I trust Mozilla's intentions

Not so much toggled, but you can break out of it. At that point it just becomes a fedora install with a somewhat different set of defaults.

Nope. I make my code open source so the code is there in case someone finds it useful. I ain't supporting it outside of what I can be bothered to do though. It's open source, you chose to use it, it's on you to support yourself.

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.

Can't libre office's calc work with Excel files?

The simplest and slowest way when you need to use something from the system clipboard:

Copying: Enter visual mode (v) Highlight the text I want to copy then enter in command mode "+y which basically means "Use a register for following command (") make it the external clipboard register (+) and yank/copy (y)"

Pasting Move to where I want to paste then enter in command mode "+p to paste after the current position or "+P to paste before the current position

If I don't need to copy/paste stuff to applications outside of vim, then I can skip the "+ register setting part, and just use the default internal register.

Another alternative, I've been looking at is radicle. It's private repository stuff is rough, but public repository stuff, much less so. Seems to be early days but I really like what the project is doing.

Right, but you can have entries in a block chain that indicate previous entries are no longer valid, or have modifications. Calculating a final state by walking through all the blocks in the chain. ( A bit like a CQRS based system can have a particular state at a point in time by replaying all events up to that point)

Doing it in such a way also makes auditing what's happened much easier since changes are inherently reflected in the chain. You want to know when (or by who if you keep that information) a record changes, it's right their in the chain.

Well from their site

Moderation

Since there are no global admins, the administrative control of a subplebbit rests solely with its creator. No one else can moderate content or accounts unless the subplebbit creator grants them permission.

So, it's not that there's no moderation. It's just "subplebbit" creator/delegates controlled as there is no over arching site wide company able to moderate it on the whole.

It will mean, as a user, you'll have to be liberal with removing subplebbits from your own feed though. I'm sure there will be some.. not so pleasant subplebbits appearing.
