Also a devclass post Mozilla quietly makes Microsoft’s GitHub the authoritative home for Firefox code suggests FF is making the GH repo the place to go as the source of truth for FF, :( This move to me is really sad, instead of moving to FLOSS alternatives it’s preferring a proprietary with a terrible hosting licensing (gitlab one is much better for example, not sure about codeberg’s one, but for sure is better as well), and what’s worse, one that uses anything hosted in there for its own purposes, including feeding openAI stuff with FLOSS code violating any licenses and so forth. Which actually makes me strengthen the idea that mozilla is trending to go in the wrong direction making things worse on every step they follow.
I use a derivative, Librewolf, but in the end it depends on the FF code… Sadly, using GH is still like the norm, and I can change that. servo browser engine and verso (browser based on servo) are also hosted on GH. But at least they started there and migrating is always a hard decision, FF is just moving there having other options, so it means they don’t care about GH mistreating users code…
kixik@lemmy.mlto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop?3·2 months agoThis is a security feature. Other communication mechanisms having the keys somewhere else not owned by you is rather something I wouldn’t stand. And to me it’s unsafe that messages would be kept way long on the servers.
On xmpp the sync happens from server to all syncing clients, and the proper XEPs need to supported in both the client and the server.
Others have already mentions gerrit, no need to review on the forge, and there’s as well gitweb. I imagine there exists many other solutions much better than the forge MR/PR. Particularly reviewing PRs on github is really messy for me. Depending on how complex the review might become I end up branching to the PR branch locally and checking the complex stuff locally without the forge.
And there are many many bug trackers much better than the issue trackers. Bugzilla actually has kept improving, though I believe it might be too much for small projects, but there are many more.
I do agree with the article writer that one really needs to create too many accounts already, GH from MS, Gitlab, sourcehut.org (I really like this one better, but still you need yet another account), codeberg, gitea, and some with different instances with different accounts each… It’s crazy, and now AI crawlers getting on them all, and also violating FLOSS licenses… Notice on distributed private repos it’s way harder for AI misbehavior and illegal behavior to do what it does in general.
kixik@lemmy.mlto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Ladybird seems to be the next big topic but where's the discussion around Servo?10·5 months agoDon’t forget about verso which builds on top of servo, neither of which are ready yet.
kixik@lemmy.mlto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Ladybird seems to be the next big topic but where's the discussion around Servo?9·5 months agoHave you heard of verso, it’s web browser being built on top of servo, which also aims to help servo to be more “embedable”.
I recommend you to explore sourcehut as well, if you’re not afraid of something different to gitlab/github workflows.
kixik@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a frontend with no login, but with local subscription4·2 years agoOhh, I didn’t know lemmy already offered such thing. So it would be like
https://_instance_/feeds/c/_community_.xml?sort=Active
then?
kixik@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a frontend with no login, but with local subscription2·2 years agoPretty interesting. I was not counting on a rss sort of reader extension, but it might work… I’ll explore it, though if lemmy already support rss seeds, perhaps I can get a more generic rss reader doing it… Thanks !
kixik@lemmy.mlOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a frontend with no login, but with local subscription4·2 years agoIt might achieve it, but I’m not looking into having a lemmy instance, but rather being able to sort of browse and keep up to date with some communities, just as it was possible to do with reddit (no need to host anything)…
More than thier posts, they seem to be offensively impersonating Lemmy’s main dev, which is sad. I guess it’s something federation allows…
My only experience with it was with harmony-music built/installed from AUR on artix, and I couldn’t keep using it, it was consuming too munch CPU, making the fans run nuts. Not sure if it was harmony-music itself, or flutter. Apparently not the same OP experience.
