We SHOULD be angry. The system IS broken! But the real fucking assholes aren't refugees or someone missing his appointment with the employment office. The real assholes are the fucking overrich neoliberal narcists.

- "Use this awesome chatgpt/claude/... frontend to review the code you've written"

Something doesn't add up 🤔

Search is now on search.radicle.xyz

Next:
I’d like to have more discovery options - like which projects are actively maintained. Where can I make some contributions.

When is an #opensource project considered active / maintained?

More on positioning:

The value is not:
- “It’s a decentralised protocol”

The value is:
- “Here is an ecosystem that plays well together”

- “You only need one account”

- “You won’t lose your data / history”

the problem with protocols is that no one is looking for a protocol except for protocol nerds

normal people have problems & wish those problems didn’t exist… they don’t have the time or interest to learn about a protocol

they want an app
they want a service

they want to spend less time, not more

Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11, but that is just my own wild guess. Would you buy it?

GitHub deplatforming?

6 month ago we asked developers if they see their dependency on GitHub as a risk.

Except for some web3 projects and DRM related work, nobody seemed to care.

Today we see large movement towards more open and non-US alternatives.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
