Hmmm. They migrated from github because it was becoming shitty, now their complaint with codeberg is more that will ban on the basis of content. On the next gitwhatever they will find for sure other issues.
I know it's hard but any non-casual developer must self-host their version control (and assorted project data), and treat cloud VCs sites just as mirrors.
Data centers should at least be autonomous for energy generation and cooling systems, in the current utilities landscape in US the energy company dictates price mostly by demand and Big Tech will always have enough money to pay, the water company will have to clean more freshwater and in dry season will never cut off the datacenter: these are (summing that with no convenience whatsoever for nearby towns, few to no people in those communities will work for the datacenter. Maybe they pay good taxes to towns but it isn't a given either) in my opinion very solid elements to view a datacenter as a menace.
"On Linux under Wayland" is a big part of the problem. On X11 a significant part of missing "GUI-exposed-as-api" is present.
If we concede (and I think otherwise) that we need a FOSS operating system and desktop experience to be fully on par with competitors and offer agentic-first options, I think that an open-minded developer (or one that can afford to run a fairly good LLM on local machine), presented with the problem, can see evidently that said roadblock doesn't exist: X11 can stop being a maze, or thousands of Wayland apps can be forked to make them expose an API, the FUSE filesystem kind of API.
I don't care much about agents though, I sure see as potentially useful some desktop assistant, and that is that.
The ofac is a list under the dept of Treasury. Bessent. So, it's one of those cases where the difference doesn't exist, if you say here Trump or "The project 2025 cabal" it's the same.
In the last years a market for "no code" software has sprawled, just etch the interface on a tables SPA, plug Okta, plug your backend or Firebase to their apis and you should be set.
You can also find dozens of drag n drop builders and block editors working for modern frontend dev, there are a lot for React for example, just vibe code the components.
I don't know about GTK (and frankly hope anything will be ported to something else and the whole GNOME project get nixed), about QT they recently implemented a QPA.

That's a folk music wave, a conscious soul album, conflated with more pop social commentary. Not much protest songs. Products made out of popular discontent.
Now if you said Woody Guthrie... But in pre-war times was there a non-mainstream?
The only thing that this may say is that in USA the regime fights dissent in mainstream media. Like, if you want to catch signs of a product made out of popular discontent, you can't e.g. find in UK charts the Sleaford Mods or Kneecap?
If you say "shady" because CEO is a Russian in Dubai and for years nobody really knew how the hell could he sustain the company, yeah you're right.
About the FOSS alternatives you're right, but to use a closed source SaaS is just a choice people make because they are not confident in their own infra.
If it's "shady" because of cybercriminals, I insist in saying that it's the same than using Discord (pedophile rings) or Whatsapp/Meta messenger (extensive history of terrorists, gangs, traffickers of any kind).
In European nations who aren't English-first-language it's quite widespread around university students and people that outgrown Whatsapp, it isn't very much different than using a Discord groupchat (and you lose less important stuff in Telegram). Admittedly a bit is for network effect around "grindset" jocks but it isn't very much different than using discord or Meta messenger or Slack, just a freemium SaaS that the project doesn't support firsthand so if "our server" is down, "theirs" maybe is not.
I say they are all the same although Telegram's insecurity is proven, they still are the same overall for a FOSS project.
>You are responsible for testing the code you write, not the one that actually runs.
Hipp worked as a military contractor for battleships, furthermore years later SQLite was under contract under every proto-smartphone company in the USA. Under these constraints you maybe are not responsible to test what the compiler spits out across platforms and different compilers, but doing that makes the project a lot more reliable, makes it sexier for embedded and weapons.
Nah, libxslt is a spinoff of Expat, at the very least (and mozilla mantains its own xslt library) there's a full implementation by the standard writer called Saxon[0]
When you examine an island of critical business development with desperate need for workforce yes, otherwise you will mostly find rent and prices that compromise life conditions. Basic needs aren't a market you can easily disrupt (unless you plan to let a class of slaves or poors be created).
My example was quite vapid, but you shouldn't concentrate on that use-case. Small doesn't always mean "neglectable infos", while scrapers are always stealing CPU time.
The fun and terrible thing about the web is that the "rockstar in temporary distress" trope can be true and can happen when you expect it the least, like, you know, when you receive a HN kiss of death.
You can surely expect that a static content will be static and will not run jpegoptim on a image at any given hit (a dynamic CMS + a sudden visit from ByteDance = your server is DDoSed), but you can't expect that any idiot/idiot hive on this planet will set up a multi-country edge caching servers architecture for a small sized website just in case some blog post will hit a few million visits every ten minutes. That can easily take down a server even for static content.
I concur that Anubis is a poor solution, and yet here we are, the UN it's using it to weather down requests.
