Couldn't planning in big work sessions but making sure to use something like the Pomodoro technique achieve the same "Background processing", only it will happen during breaks?

If they aren't interested in the network effect alone, then why not use GitLab?

From the bitcoin.org FAQ:

>Isn't Bitcoin mining a waste of energy?

>Spending energy to secure and operate a payment system is hardly a waste. Like any other payment service, the use of Bitcoin entails processing costs. Services necessary for the operation of currently widespread monetary systems, such as banks, credit cards, and armored vehicles, also use a lot of energy. Although unlike Bitcoin, their total energy consumption is not transparent and cannot be as easily measured. Bitcoin mining has been designed to become more optimized over time with specialized hardware consuming less energy, and the operating costs of mining should continue to be proportional to demand. When Bitcoin mining becomes too competitive and less profitable, some miners choose to stop their activities. Furthermore, all energy expended mining is eventually transformed into heat, and the most profitable miners will be those who have put this heat to good use. An optimally efficient mining network is one that isn't actually consuming any extra energy. While this is an ideal, the economics of mining are such that miners individually strive toward it.

Alrigh, sorry. I didn't know.

Deploy on Heroku

True.

How about improving Gittorrent?

Wouldn't they at least ask after a while if that was the case?

I really want to try this out myself now.

Is it really possible that people just continue standing there while not getting why they are doing it? Don't they even care to ask?

Feels like it would take just a single guy to ask: "What are we looking at?" For everyone to realize that they are acting like fools.

You mean like GitLab?

Absolutely agree!

I cannot fathom why people are still actively supporting GitHub.

Even if you ignore the ethical reasons, which if you are an open source developer really should suffice, GitLab is better and more customizable in every way.

Supporting it benefits yourself and all of the FOSS community.

Gitlab is FOSS and does everything Github does (arguably) better.

The only reason one would use Github is for network effect.

Personaly i believe the ethical trade off to be too great, and I believe FOSS supporters should agree with me.

Wouldn't, say, a cryptocurrency that forces P2Pool solve this issue?

If they are truly doing this for the benefit of the community then why isn't f.lux open source?

It has nothing to do with Git, it's just the name Github uses.

GitLab calles it a "Merge request", which is more fitting IMO.

Ubuntu, because it's the only one that really works out of the box.

Never heard of it. Are you a user?

Fair enough :)

So how does your workflow look? Do you use GTD or some other system? Have you ever looked at alternatives and compared them?

So use Rocket.chat or Mattermost

Would be happy to move over to an open source alternative, but at the moment they don't seem to support mobile apps.

It would be very difficult for us to move because of this, we talk a lot on the move.

I'd say it creates a sense of unity with those that travel into outer space.

I thought the same thing. It almost bothers me that though out the whole article he makes it seem like it's above average.

You should be spending a lot more time with your family IMO.

It would be really nice to get it to succeed. Decentralisation is almost always preferable.

I know many people reason like this, but I simply can't understand it. I can't claim to work on huge projects, but even when working on quite big ones the only "slowness" i notice is the launch time.

Surely launch time is basically insignificant for a text editor which you might only launch a few times in a day?

Hos does your network work? Is it compleatly distributed, like Tox or does it rely on nodes?

There are many slack alternatives out already, as volent has pointed out. What I'd like to see is one that is based on Tox technology.

Having a decentralised network would be much better as it would remove all costs of self-hosting.

>In the latter case you will probably be forced to cough up the decryption keys.

Not if you make the users password the key.

The only ones that actually have your back are those that use encryption to make data collecting impossible.

I don't understand. Both Google and Amazon sell music completely DRM-free today, and their music selection is as big as the one on iTunes.

What's their excuse today?

Are mobile apps planned?
