I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Honkey, is in fact, Irish American, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Irish plus American. American is not a nationality unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Irish nationality made useful by the Irish catholicism, enslavery and potato-less components comprising a full minority status as defined by academia. Many people are a modified version of the Irish nationality every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Irish nationality which is widely used today is often called "White", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Irish nationality, developed by the Gaulic Celts. There really is an America, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. America is the suffix: the magic in the dirt that allocates the nation's resources to the other ethnicities that you run. The suffix is an essential part of an nationality, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete proposition nation. Irish is normally used in combination with the American nationality system: the whole system is basically American with Irish added, or Irish-American. All the so-called "Honkey" distributions are really distributions of Irish-American.
Cloning Mastodon to Tanzania where it seem more logical to be! mastodon - extinct elephant-like mammal that flourished worldwide from Miocene through Pleistocene times; differ from mammoths in the form of the molar teeth
I will study it to see how I can make it in Lisp. No guarantees.
I see !Mastodon is also Affero General Public Licensed, very good. Just like Linux kernel is GPL2 licensed. Very good. Linus used Bitkeeper, the proprietary software and forced other developers to use it. When a Samba guy wanted to reverse engineer Bitkeeper, Linus got pissed because of disagreement with the proprietary software vendor. Then Linus started making git, now you have git. But then again, Linus forgot to apply AGPL and probably never will, he is not really a "free software" activist in his heart, regardless if he is maintaining one of most important pieces of it. If RMS was not there in Finland, Linus would not hear him, and Linux would be proprietary.
Now back to Mastodon. While Github offers nice alternatives, Github is pretty much proprietary. Why simply not host on Gnusocial Gitlab? Gitlab is free software. Github is not free software.
When teaching users about free software, you should tell them what means AGPL, what you are doing. But then again, you are forcing them to use non-free software on Github.
My feelings about this place have not changed, it feels like a neighborhood, and even if some neighbors build walls and don't want to communicate with each other, that's fine. We don't have to agree all the time and that's what makes this place different and enjoyable.
I guess Guix is just as xkcd as others. Even more. How many useless megabytes did I download through Guix? Absolutely not necessary, but yes, if you wish "reproducible", then please, get back to version X, upgrade to Y, to get Z, I mean, it is interesting, but is boring and expensive. I am on mobile connection in Africa.
