@Laser It's a helpful data point because it helps to drive home that anyone who is still on github pretending to offer software cannot be trusted

@Laser missed a key date: june 2018 when microsoft bought github. Clearly Coldcard stayed on github

this is an important detail, since free software projects that *actually* have users at heart all left github.

@Alex Gleason

That is fine for an artist like her, who are actually creating new things - I respect her stance. But I disagree with it for the case of non-artists who are merely consuming media, rather than creating. Especially in public spaces[what media you watch privately is none of my business] like nostr/fedi it is important to push back on copyright damage

@Alex Gleason :yes_nord:

@Alex Gleason The problem isn't the platform. It's the video.

@Alex Gleason Youtube does NOT have a monopoly on culture, that's complete nonsense. Even if it had a complete monopoly on video, that STILL wouldn't be a monopoly on culture. What the living fuck you were JUST talking about how wonderful nostr is and how the fediverse(which has *PLENTY* of non-youtube video). But invidious doesn't help the fact you just shared a copyright-restricted video.

@Blurry Moon @kill bot Programming is one task that *can't* get easier

The second someone makes programming easier, the next second people expect you to build more complex things. It's an infinite treadmill of cascading difficulty.

My old pimp got paid to manage a single list. That was his job before he started pimping. Probably in cobol. Probably badly done, because it was proprietary and no one had access to it. This was what was acceptable.

Our generation did things that were more complex than a single list. A lot of it in java. We thought it was complex, and there were hard limits on what we could do (mostly eclipse ram use, and lack of ram)

The next generation is going to look back at the more complex software from this era as quaint, compared to the vibe-coded horrorshows they'll have to handle. The complexity will grow, and human brains will push themselves to the limit to understand it. Same as it ever was.

@morrigan => villages.io

@Big Beautiful Bataillean :yandere_knife: :xf_spine: : your villages hours might be able to be used for this.

@Alex Gleason youtube standard license => downvote, close tab

@Disclose.tv Telegram under attack from france, australia, russia *and* apple today? wow.

Apple users; don't put up with this bullshit. Switch to android or something.

@goatmeal

I did, and do all the time. That's the thing about permissionless innovation - no one has to listen to me, and most don't.
