Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License (WTFPL)

There sure is alot going on with Federated social plattforms!

We have Mastondon (which I am running an instance https://social.linux.pizza) that is a opensource, free, Federated Twitter clone

We have Peertube - a open, free and federated YouTube alternative

PixelFed - currently in development for thoose who are seeking an open, free and federated Instagram alternative

Check them out! And maybe join one or host your own?

I wonder how the 'wgets' would taste mmm

Ok sorry I'll leave *runs away*

Programming alone vs programming when someone watches

True story

I think that devRant should have some plants/flowers or at least cactuses on our avatars.

Well captcha fuck you too

Filler text for meme

Just thought I would share a really cool tool I found when writing my documentation in markdown.

Check out https://typora.io its a markdown editor that is easy to use :)

Finally, someone's asking the real questions.

When you finally accept that the code will never be bug-free and instead make friends with the uncaught exceptions.

starting to make a python devrant client and just got rant viewing working (but it looks like shit)

TL;DR : do we need a read-only git proxy

Guys, I just thought about something and this potential gitpocalypse.

There is no doubt anymore that regardless of Microsoft's decisions about Github, some projects will or already have migrated to the competition.

I'm thinking : some projects use the git link to fetch the code. If a dependency gets migrated, it won't be updated anymore, or worse, if the previous repo gets deleted, it can break the project.

Hence my idea : create some repository facade to any public git repository (regardless of their actual location).
Instead of using github.com/any/thing.git, we could use opensourcegit.com/any/thing.git. (fake url for the sake of the example).
It would redirect to the right repository (for public read only), and the owner could change the location of the actual repository in case of a migration.

What do you think ? If I get enough ++'s, I'll create a git repo about this.

Microsoft is buying GitHub?

Actually, that sounds great. A lot of people here are making it sound like this is the end of the world as we know it, but how do we know that they will make it awful? The Microsoft of today is different than the Microsoft of 2007. The purchase is simply a way to expand their enterprise offerings. I have experimented with Office365, and it is actually really useful. GitHub will be a way to expand that offering to software development companies.

Who knows? We may even get some kind of Azure CI service built directly into GitHub repos?

However, I see why some people are concerned. If they want to move to GitLab, I don't actually blame them a bit. I was already using it before it was cool!

The point of this rant is that we should give Microsoft a chance, and not jump ship right away.

Bought my first rubber duck today. Named her recursion 😍😍😍

Choosing Linux over Windows

I actually like Microsoft these days. Despite developing on Mac machines, we use VSTS for code repo, build/release pipelines and work item tracking, and Azure for all things cloud. It all works incredibly well together and at low cost.

Microsoft has changed ethos massively in the last few years. In my opinion, the classic dev mantra of “Microsoft is shit and evil, Linux is flawless” is outdated and getting kind of boring.

In what age did you start coding?

Best job description ever 😂

Get shit done

Oh no microsoft is gonna buy github!

Just like they bought xamarin and turned it from a buggy piece of shit into something borderline useful?

Just like they funded canonical so ubuntu could become a distro what any person can use as easily as windows because they had money to actually hire people?

Just like they bought mojang and invested billions in an education platform?

Oh boy whatever will we do...
