so... just to be on point. On which part your arguments are related, to sustain or deny, this:

Because all the rest, is just not an argument.

He is at Rusia because Europe denied him passage when he was traveling to south-america. And of course, he benefits the fact that Rusia and the US are not in good terms. But... how in earth that makes him accountable by the acts of the government of the country he lives in? That's just a falcious argument (ad-hominem), not a real fact. Where, in which acts, what actions he did to "collaborate" with "one of the most brutal fucked regimes currently and historically"? Is like saying you as american citizen (if you are), are directly accountable for all the "brutal and fucked up" actions your government does and supports along the world. But this is not technology, is politics... in what this article is important for this comunity is that a remarkable known specialist on security endorses what we (supporters of FOSS way of doing things, that includes Stallman, on which we could have also a lot of other difference, but not on that) have been saying during years.

Oh, I agree with that (I use a selfhost solution -gitea- myself). I was just pointing to what I think is the current situation and why is like that :)

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, keeping an infrastructure like github is very expensive. Other solutions like gitlab are no real solution as gitlab itself is also not completely FOSS. Codeberg is a relatively new kid in the block, and sustainability in the long term is still not proven. Gitea/Forjego requires you to selfhost your repositories and that's something not everybody can afford/take the time to do.
So, we have a situation of a standard de facto, when one company took the space and constitued a monopoly, forcing the users to use it or be invisible otherwise.
So, there you have the reason: visibility in a market dominated by just one actor.
How to fight this situation? There is no much way as individuals, a partial solution is to use a FOSS solution and then mirror on github for visibility. Of course this is limited as individual solutions wont change collective problems, but FOSS groups doing the same are no longer individuals but communities so with time we may have a way to get out...

EDIT: s/go/get

lol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜

It's a Smalltalk. I do not like to compare languages because each one has its own merits, but until now, I do not think there is an environment that matches what Smalltalk (and Pharo) provides (which is just understandable by using it, heh)

Ok, I admit I do not understand why it is returning an error (link is good, however)

Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback (think IDE and OS rolled into one).

So, I just dealt with a kobold thief and of course he escaped.
I read somewhere that to avoid thieves best thing is to "chain a tamed animal" to the entrance... only problem is I have no idea how to do that.
Any advice?
Thanks!

yes, but discord has /tenor and /giffy to do queries and autopaste :)

Hi,
I know this is a stupid request, but I recently moved a small community from discord and my users want to add memes to their conversations... is there some integration that adds this to a synapse server?
Thanks!

Hi, I have a small server to sustain a small community (discord like, but for internal consumption). My users also lurk into some big external communities...
I am looking admin resources to keep my instance small... something like the possibility to remove old data, etc. I know I can log in the database and do stuff, but I'd prefer something more human friendly ;)
Thanks!

Mind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)

So... I just hit magma... bah... I looked for it! I dug like 150 levels until I got some warm, and now I realize I have no idea what to do with it.
Any advice on how to handle the thing?
Thanks!

Hi,

I want to do a large (very large, think about 50k x 50k) hex world map... I want something like the hexmap made here: https://github.com/eranimo/hexgen (excellent generator, btw). I know I can use a noise function to obtain most of this (like heightmap, temperatures, moisture, etc.), but I know the x,y approach and noise has limitations when one wants to work by zones (for example, to make rivers or design zones like this is more mountains, this is a lakes zone, etc.) as explained here: https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/terrain-from-noise/

does someone knows how can I overcome this problem ?

thanks !

Hi,

I'd like to explore the possibilities of training a LM to learn a specific programming language so he can be used as co-pilot in that context. Language is a niche language (http://pharo.org), and there is no existing model nowadays knowing it (also, I want to make some extra tweaks, once I have it).
Thing is... I have no idea where to start! :)

Any hint where can I learn the ropes?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am sorry for the stupid question, but I am having problems to find a mail I deleted and I wonder if the "delete" key will archive them as with gmail (and most clients nowadays) or it will actually remove it.
I am pretty new to thunderbird, I started to use it after supernova, so I am not very used to it.

Thanks in advance

Hello, I work on Pharo, an open source derivative of Smalltalk. Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.

However, time to time I have some projects in my free time that I made for my personal usage or for friends, and in those cases I am not OK with my work being used by for-profit project not giving anything back. I would very much prefer to use GPLv3 on those cases, but my understanding of licensing is very poor and I have been told there is a "virus" behavior on GPLv3 that may prevent people to use at all what I do, and that's not my intention.

Do you have any advice how to handle this?

Not many of us here, but we need to start somewhere :) I am creating this point to link some resources those interested on procedural generation can find interesting:

Procedural content generation wiki
Terrain generation techniques

Enjoy... and please add the resources you may know here :)

Hello,

I lurk into some thematic instances very often, without being necessarily subscribed to all communities there, but this is a hard task to do as lemmy is right now: I need to know the instance as first, then I need to open it in another window... and finally, if I decide I want to subscribe to a community there I need to comeback to my own instance and look for the community to hit the join button.

I think it would be a nice addition to be able to bookmark instances and then browse their local feed by clicking there... a super extra bonus would be being able to subscribe to extra-communities from there.
