Don't want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won't be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.
Oh, my comment was more that compiling C/C++ apps on any platform is shit. Windows may be the worst to compile on, but Linux is only marginally better.
Rust is amazing though.
"It's so easy to compile C/C++ apps on Linux"
"Just run make install"
"If it doesn't work, fuck you, it worked on my machine"
Company creates problem. Requires users to change because of created problem. You defend company creating problem.
That's the logical flaw.
If you see no flaws in defending a monopolist, well, you cannot be helped then.
If you're enjoying opensource software and are able to contribute, be it code, documentation, bug reports, political support, products that contribute back to opensource projects, or money, please do. Even just spreading the word is a good start.
There's not much opensource devs can do against corporations, but every contribution helps us get closer to a world where working fulltime on opensource is common-place and even desired.
They don't actually think wayland won't get proper accessibility, they just hope for it and for time to reverse back to when people had to edit their x11 configs by hand. Like true linux users.
I would like to remind you that you are arguing for a monopolist. I'd agree with you if it were for a startup or mid-sized company that had lots of competition and was providing a good product being abused by competitors or users. But Github has a quasi-monopoly, is owned by a monopolist that is part of the reason other websites are being bombarded by requests (aka, they are part of the problem), and you are sitting here arguing that more people should join the monopoly because of an issue they created.
Can you see the flaws in reasoning in your statements?
OK I understand your concerns better. Thank you for explaining.
I am less concerned and don't have such a negative relationship with crypto. As long as it's not the selling point of something and decoupled from the actual project or product, that's fine to me. That others don't feel the same way is understandable.
For me, radicle is the fastest way to get off of github. All my projects are now there and anybody can contribute without signing up to yet another website i.e they don't need to have a login for each individual forgejo or gitlab instance. One radicle identity is all you need to contribute to a radicle project on any seed node.
If (when?) forgejo finally gets federation, I'd be more open to using it, but at the moment, it barely provides an advantage over radicle.
I hope this is successful. It would be a great way to enable monetisation on the internet without relying on ads.
I see the "just create an account" and "just login" crowd have joined the discussion. Some people will defend a monopolist no matter what. If github introduced ID checks à la Google or required a Microsoft account to login, they'd just shrug and go "create a Microsoft account then, stop bitching". They don't realise they are being boiled and don't care. Consoomer behaviour.
It's getting more and more unhinged on LinkedIn.
Sure, the anticapitalists won't be anticapitalistic. That's just an excuse not to vote "they're both the same", then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.
