Sad fact:

"Prins Bernhard" a member of the unnecessary 'Dutch royal🤢 family" owns over 600 buildings (houses and corp) in the Netherlands

He is one of the fckers who drive up prices to earn as much as he can while many people struggle to find a living space

Leech much? 👑🇳🇱

@stux you mean the prins bernhard that's been dead since 2004?

@maartjeS @stux ah right... guess that's how little I care. :-) More pissed off about people like Mrs. Heineken

Some enterprises, in the wake of , are focusing on their metrics for dependencies they ingest..... rather than investing money, developer time, or other resources* to directly support maintainers.

But as I mentioned to a friend recently:

If downstreams do not provide at least as much support as a motivated attacker would, we're likely to continue to get these kinds of outcomes - & to be deceived, as attackers shape their efforts to trick the metrics.

@brainwane I've done a fair bit of work in my time, in various areas but mostly dev work.

While I still work on open source, I've scaled down my work and narrowed it quite a bit.... despite still believing that all code should be .

Here's some / experiences from my time as a FOSS dev:

  • at most 1 percent of users contribute back, even less so in monetary ways
  • Apart from time and (to live), equipment was my big blocker (10+ years old hardware)

continued

  • I was able to find a few souls to help manage the project but no devs
  • most devs wanted to just scratch their own itch and be done
  • giving full transparent views of the costs in running a project, reactions went from "wow great job" to "you spend too much"
  • rarely I got "I'm gonna help out financially" and only a few ever actually did (in terms of dollars, not even tens of..)
  • meanwhile everyone wanted more features, stability and releases. Quick to complain

As I said, I still do but care a lot less... the last straw was when I got a literal from someone because I hadn't worked on a in a while. (due to personal circumstances)

I dropped that project like a brick, locked everything down and went underground for 2-3 years. Not because I was afraid but rather fed up. Not the best approach but still.

(many) Open source devs are , , often and sometimes ...

@paulhulford @chertograd An aversion to and the time and effort to deal with it.

and the in general are pretty chaotic and disjointed in their approach to and content. I.e. it's difficult to understand the concept of having an account on service A that can talk to service B. Plus a lack of a pushed , etc.

It'll improve, but slowly.

@hirad @paulhulford @chertograd Not from the start no, but by now most people are used to it.

What about on ?

We are providing access to our instance to those who need it, some caveats still apply.

Also, you can read about the upcoming .

Check out our docs to learn more about the state of CI on Codeberg: https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/

@Codeberg Does this mean Codeberg is going to offer two CI systems? Woodpecker CI and Forgejo Actions?

Hmm.. I don't know what wrong 😩

Yesterday I've updated our instance just by editing the Docker file but now it returns "Server error" and that's it..

Can't find any errors in any of the logs, super frustrating

Anyone ideas?

@chaosmonkey@masto.ai avatar

@stux Just saw this... I have loads of experience in Docker and containers in general. Feel free to DM me the Docker file or other details if you want. Happy to take a look.

By the way, I just setup Lemmy myself at weddit.eu

Say what you want about USA, but it's the only place in the world where I've been consistently able to find clothes that fits tall people. I'm 187 cm (~6'2").

For a year now I've been hunting for jeans I can use. I have a single pair of 34" length left, and those are technically a little short.

I was on a trip to the US once with a fellow uni student of 207 cm (~6'9"). We hunted for clothes there, and found lots.

Just got a pair of jeans in the mail that reach the floor! 😁

@veronica Not really a tall person myself (1.73m and happy for it) but if you're ever in the neighborhood, try The Netherlands. Some of the tallest people in the world here. A height of 1.87m is not uncommon.

@veronica Hmmm... either someone is missing a business opportunity or... Norwegians are shrinking? 😋😄

Oh this is BAD. Without the Aurora store, or if people are too scared to use because Google would delete their accounts, the whole Android ROM ecosystem is pretty much dead.

@thelinuxEXP I can honestly say I've never heard of Aurora. Maybe because I don't do a lot with ROMs? Mostly use F-Droid.

Twitter has become much like what Truth Social was always intended to be: A personal platform for an oligarch that believes the world owes him power and influence. They are places where they can freely spew their divisive and conspiratorial poison. They are essentially Musk Social and Trump Social, with Orwellian ideas of both "truth" and "freedom".

@chaosmonkey@masto.ai avatar

@torb @veronica I believe it's not just accessibility or perceived difficulty in use.. a large reason (IMHO) is that people simply haven't heard of let alone the .

What's that based on? Just my personal perception and that few if any people in my sphere of influence know it when I asked them.

Unknown makes unloved. Let's make more known.

@torb @veronica apologies, slight misread but still stand by my earlier comment
