A completely false and reductionist interpretation of what he said.

Apple is even worse than AMD and Intel, wtf? And they won’t be able to run Debian on it with fill hardware support. Bro, that like suggesting somebody to cut out their heart when they’re complaining about a leg wound.

Great ideas. Who’s going to pay for it? Are opensource devs supposed to wrote the code, maintain it, and audit other people’s code too?

I didn’t need a description of your career, but thanks.

There must’ve been an update. I tried it for a while through all the symbols.

Thanks for he info though.

That’s not git

Radicle already does that, but it’s not as easy to use (yet).

People want to be popular and have it for free, it’s what they care about --> “i MuSt UsE mIcROslOp GiThUb!”

Same reason people use Facebook (Instagram, WhatsApp), Google (YouTube, gmail, Docs, Drive,…), Microslop (Github, Winblows,…), Tiktok, Snap, etc. They follow trends. If it were trendy and free to use opensource and care about pirvacy, people would do it.

You’re not going to get logical arguments from the people using it. They will say anything to justify their conformity.

Once Linux becomes the premiere platform for gaming, the kernel will be expanded to make gaming faster. I see no problem with this.

I see what you vibed there 🧐

Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. I think ForgeFed did.

Pity. Thank you :)

I’ll check out Thunderbird’s interface again, tried it more than a decade ago with a mailing list and it looked meh. Nothing like lemmy.

Mailing lists are used for contributing to projects with code. Patches are submitted via email into the mailing list. See example.

That looks pretty much nothing like gitlab’s, Microslop GitHub’s, forgejo’s or even sourceforge’s page.

If you hate having information delivered as text, you are never going to love mailing lists.

Wdym? I’m reading text right now. We are interacting with text right now. It has formatting, has linking, has syntax highlighting, all depending on the client.

key: value
object:
  key: value

All this exists in lemmy and I love it.

A lot of other metadata exists in emails too:

• identities
• timing
• person being responded to

Even reactions could be implemented via email e.g if the response body is a single emoji --> reaction.

For merge requests, doesn’t the default GitLab web interface do those things already …?

Does gitlab have a mailing list function? That’d be new for me.

I knew I’d get at least one of you people in here 🙄

“I don’t see a problem therefore it doesn’t exist”.

“Everything is fine the way it is, stop complaining.”

“Muh terminals be best”

I guess Bauhaus is your favorite style too.

I scrolled through the link but it can’t find the threads. The person Jeremy is responding to somebody but I can’t see who. Nothing seems to be indented to follow the discussion.

I’m on mobile right now. Does that make a difference for mailman?

And what have PRs got to do with mailing lists per se?

I posted in the programming community. Mailing lists are used for submitting patches.

a good email client will have some functionality that improves things a bit

I’ve tried Thunderbird, KMail, and whatever the Gnome one is called. Frankly, it doesn’t really improve on legibility. It’s a bit better, yes, but even hackernews looks better. It’s a far cry from lemmy’s UI. If they had markdown support, that would be an improvement.

Mailing lists are terrible. That’s part of why source forges became a thing. You can send pretty much anything into mailinglist in any format you like.
