Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)

    uninformed comment

    That's fine in and of itself, but, personally, I could never bring myself to use a forge which isn't fully featured and easy to use.

    spoiler ~~(rant)~~ Sourcehut is just so counterintuitive to me and I shrug every time I see a project actually using it, I feel like many wouldn't even consider making contributions unless they were very motivated. To the average person, it just looks like an unwelcoming experience, especially for the email centric focus, like, why should I switch to another application just to open an issue? At least integrate it with the the web UI, like idk, make it a specialized email client for the platform, so I don't have to juggle multiple things.


    Don't get me wrong tho, it's the closest we have to the bare git workflow of the "before times" with a bit more accessibility on top, it's not bad, but in a way these new web forges have spoiled us devs into relying on cohesive web services which happen to have vendor lock-in, but that can change and it is slowly doing so :::


    edit: deleted for inaccurate info, don't consider my dumb rant O.o

    I found it unfamiliar in the few times I saw it, but maybe it's worth giving a try
