Very good, we need more non github hosting sites.

Sorry for the rant, but why can’t we as a community be more active in supporting [blank]

I don’t care about your fantasy of utopia, I need a working thing.

That doesn’t mean I’m hating on anything. Specifically the pine phone’s mistake was that they branded as “early adopter” thing too hard. If it says “extensive linux experience required”, that’s not me and I’m not going to sink 200-400$ into a thing that “likely” won’t work, because I don’t have the prerequisite experience.

It’s not my idea to make “open source business” work, the people who are offering that sort of stuff believe in it, and they have to make it work.

Me not believing in that fantasy and calling a “not fit for purpose thing” not fit for purpose, doesn’t make me a dirty traitor ‘to the community’.

Same for “struggling artists” btw. I see the same pattern in that space. If art doesn’t work for you, do something else.

Yes, but I complained on a very important project once…

We could have a neat little internet comment war about personal opinions on Qt…

But it’s the weekend and I’d rather not.

especially the lies!

So then, i will have to build my own PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey instance… wish me luck

I do! Building things rocks!

so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It’s a good workaround, considering it doesn’t have built-in support for communities.

That IS the built in support.

If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?

Yes you are wrong, just keep doing it the way you just successfully did in this. That’s the solution.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn’t have these restrictions.

It says

On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31.

How did this confusion happen?

I think saying it’s a [code hosting platform] instance is selling it a bit short.

They’re a registered club with official recognized “public benefit” status. They were specifically created to have a non commercial and community / society based choice for code hosting.

I don’t understand why the R4L are even trying to get it into THE kernel at this point. Especially after the open hostility, but also after basically offering to be “downstream” of whatever C people do.

The difference to forking and gradually transitioning things to Rust seem technically minimally negative and socially enormously positive to me.

And when and if people want to use the linux kernel with Rust, made by the R4L people, they would then be able to do that? Idk.

I have no stakes in either side, so I don’t really care.
