Boycott all US based services.

American here, please do this.

All of our companies are run by scumbags taking advantage of useful idiots. We need more options and legitimate competition.

Especially github. I thought all of you were supposed to leave that when microsoft bought it. I never used it but I definitely wouldn't these days..

Everyone who is censored, everyone who abuses their mod powers; it just creates an opportunity for people to pick up the slack and create better communities.

You only have yourselves to blame, dickhead mods.

why is Organic Street Maps better than the other ones, that claim to be Open Street Maps derived?

bandwidth is not disposable ya'll.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Two reasons:

  • interface rocks
  • maps are downloaded for offline use
[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I've been using OsmAnd for years, and offline maps has always been one of their main things.

that's enough for me, except are the other ones not good?

downloading maps for offline -- you nuts? how does anyone profit from the clicks?

I'm looking forward to the time Forgejo starts supporting Forgefed

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah with their recent grant it looks like it’s the next priority, that will be pretty neat:

I love organic maps, sometimes I practice navigation by turning location off and using a compass with the downloaded map on my phone.

What is really needed is a fediverse for git repos

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

First off, that's literally what Forgejo is trying to do

Secondly, git is technically already federated.

Things are a lot better than you might think. It's just that people naturally gravitate towards centralized services, because of the network effect.

Sounds cool, So, but I wouldn't be able to find Codeberg Repos.?

But is there also a standard for build pipelines?
