@artemis this is outrageous!

I mean, 40,000 isn't even a power of two!

@ieure I just saw it today and I was like "didn't ieure do a CWed thread on this a while back? wonder what he said. I should go find it."

ಠ_ಠ

if you've looked at moving off github in the past and ended up extremely unimpressed by the janky ui and bugs of gitlab, i don't blame you. but please give https://codeberg.org and other gitea sites a second look; they are head and shoulders above gitlab in usability and stability.

@brion @brennen it's true that federated login is the main blocker and provides 90% of the benefit.

replicating the data out to other places feels like it could have positive implications for offline use, which has long been a sore point for issues, but I haven't thought that thru.

now that I got CI working on codeberg, I'm ready to proceed with moving Leiningen off github for #giveupgithub

I've opened an issue here to gather feedback from the community; please chime in if you're a Leiningen user and you have thoughts about where to move: https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/issues/2800

LB: I moved all my projects except Leiningen off github a couple years ago, and now I'm looking into moving that as well. a read-only mirror will probably remain on github for a few years to ease the transition, but I'm looking at @codeberg as the new home for my last remaining github-hosted project once I can get the CI setup switched over.

@aw and half of them are forth implementations themselves

@neauoire @aw covid closing the schools really accelerated this push to get them in the hands of every kid in the local school districts, which from an equality perspective was much better than the previous status quo.

but the rollout here was done in such a way that the chromeos sandbox/firewall was trivially bypassed and you could get a full debian chroot just by asking the OS nicely, which was kind of awesome. granted most kids will continue to see the computer as an appliance, but the kids who are curious will find their exploration rewarded.

@SuricrasiaOnline a good dependency library isn't magic, other than in the sense that like ... friendship is magic, and thru the magic of friendship I can benefit from this thing despite not having written it myself.

both my kids just asked me to install dwarf fortress on their thinkpads

i may have just made a terrible mistake

@somarasu @zens "you don't hate javascript; you hate capitalism" is a real mood

@ieure I switched to using Zoom exclusively in the browser (other than mobile) and I gotta say, I have no regrets.

basically everything Firefly did was done better by Space Sweepers without the gross Confederacy sly winks

@deshipu I haven't heard of those but Space Sweepers is a Korean sci-fi film about a plucky band of misfits who fly a spaceship and take missions of questionable legality and begin to uncover a conspiracy when they find a girl in a cargo hold.

@pho4cexa overall agreed, but re privacy concerns, half the point of passwordstore is that the data never needs to leave your machines. I just have git remotes across 3 different laptops and do `pass git pull --rebase other-laptop` to replicate the data around and none of it ever gets put on hardware I don't physically control.

@InternetEh I really felt like this game bit off more than it could chew in terms of trying to convince you that "you can do anything" but in the end a lot of the consequences are either incoherent or inconsequential.

@mhoye I guess I just have such low expectations for Google that it comes as no surprise when they abuse their users' trust. it's the default assumption when dealing with a megacorp; abusing their customers' data is as natural to them as breathing is to us.

but I don't imagine that helps all that much with the feelings of frustration around your people being treated differently, so my sympathies in that regard.

I'm reading the CIA Simple Sabotage Field Guide, and it's altogether an amazing work, but this is my absolute favorite part:

"Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows."

@klardotsh I considered telling you this but I figured you wouldn't have listened and I wouldn't have blamed you. there's nothing quite like finding out for yourself.

@meena it's like smalltalk; a very rich source of great ideas to steal
