That's the chief differentiator you're giving up when you give up on github vs a self-hosted forge. And the network effect of the CI pipelines should not be discounted since it means actions published anywhere on GH are automatically available for use without any import or install step.

Yes, you could feasibly split off the CI from the git+PR service, but you'd still want it to be federated.

That would be good for following, but I'd worry about contributions. Single-sign-on would help but if you're going to ask the user to create a new username+password to log a bug you're not going to get bugs from anybody except your most hardcore users.

Also, unified dashboards/notifications are so useful (even though Github's notification UI is a bit mediocre, imho).

A big thing with Github its the unified functionality across most of the OSS world - that we can search across all projects, leverage pipeline actions from other projects, and easily have a single dashboard for our own contributions and interests across all projects.

I'd hate to see a move to forge balkanization lose this functionality. But this would not be heavyweight data to federate. So are there any forges with a good story for federation?

I mean I agree but those aren't zero-skill install like this.

There's a fundamental question: Is it legal for the government to blanket a public space in cameras and do whatever they want to the data that they collect from those cameras?

Is it legal for a private entity to do the same with their owned space (like a plaza or mall or office tower)?

Focusing on license-plate-readers seems like car-brain is causing the author to miss the forest for the trees.

I was thinking same but C#.

Laws are for poor people

Honestly I wouldn't be so cranky about this if it were proper government based ID instead of creepy Thiel companies doing it.

And if it was mostly about posting content anonymously instead of even reading these sites.

Fediverse all the things.

Oddly they don't ever seem to prosecute the sites that profit from selling them. Funny, that.

I mean, did you have to connect it to the internet though? Did it not just have a dp/hdmi port?

kodi on an rpi5?

Of course, what they're missing is that laws are for poor people.

Amazon will be notified they sold something illegal and will take it down and ban the seller who will immediately launch a new store under a new name.

The purchaser, on the other hand, will be fully liable for whatever horrible thing they bought.

> major e-commerce providers like Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg and others continue to sell hundreds of different models and brands that bundle unofficial versions of Google’s Android operating system and are frequently marketed (via online influencers) as a way to access a broad array of streaming services and live broadcasts without a subscription.

This is why I giggle when people talk about ending Section 230 in the USA (or various international counterparts thereof).

The largest companies on Earth are happily selling hacked piracy spyware botnet garbage. Not just hosting malicious posts for free like Section 230 protects, but selling illegal physical devices and taking a cut of the profit and excusing it with a pathetic whack-a-mole moderation system. It's already illegal and the law has already failed.

Sean Parker's mistake was that he wasn't rich enough.

Laws are for poor people.

So maybe the better question would be how many concurrent actively-thinking/working agents it could handle?

> There is no golden rule to all of this but finding out what makes sense is a fun exercise.

"Fun" as in you're years into a project before you fully accept that you made the bad call.

I'm specifically cranky about MS Azure Devops and how much lazy-loading and unloading of text it does. It's basically impossible to ctrl-F.

I mean I'm not a front-end guy I was genuinely curious how well HTMX handles this kind of case.

> Forum websites mostly deliver non-interactive content

I'd say that "Endless Scroll" is a good example of something that is... well maybe not interactive but still breaks the "just an HTML document" page metaphor that plays nice with such things.

Now, personally I find the UI compromises it takes to make endless scrolling happen are abhorrent (like not being able to ctrl-F or export the page content). But other people obviously like them.

Is that the kind of thing you'd be giving up as you move to a platform like HTMX?

It's for running a massive number of docker containers and automatically managing them and scaling them up and down on demand. It is also so famously brutally complex that basically you need a dedicated Kube expert to handle it.

I've pretty much switched to Lemmy. It's one of the few Fediverse systems that actually seems to live up to its private counterpart.

Not only look good, but also to be informative. His photos demonstrate the exact problem: Without the lighting hack you can have a 90° angle with almost no visible line, if the two surfaces are evenly lit. That's important visual information you've just left out.

As a player, I'd rather compromise realistic rendering in order to be able to see the contours of things.

I'm sure there are friendly and generous humans also living in North Korea and Iran. Doesn't mean I want to risk subjecting myself to their government's authority.

At this point I'm just annoyed that Google discontinued the Android Auto app. Just give me a mount for my phone and gtfo.

If you have a big touchscreen put a video usb port on it.

You can bounce on them forever for infinite coins. But the coins don't matter. Nothing matters.

I thought that was mostly about coincidentally similar names.

Does it change when one is explicitly a reference to the copyrighted work? It's not like Thiel just thinks that Valar and Palantir and Anduril etc are all just nice sounding words, he's built a brand out of companies named after Tolkien's stuff.

Haven't tried them but there are ways to wire a coding agent to slack, that gives you a multi-user session right there doesn't it?

Or you could use tmux and a shared login and any tui agent harness.

Obviously they would be very flawed but a place to start.

But killing innocent bystanders is freedom!

Can Tolkien's estate please do something?

Depends on the company. If it's a respectable Asian brand? I'm safe.

If it's an old and established US mark like Philips or Maytag or something? ZGGCD is the way to go.
