Anyone knows if it's possible to hide or change the "owner" etc. labels shown next to users' names in GitHub comment headers? I think it sends the wrong message when an org owner is shown as repo owner of a repo that is actually owned/managed by a community member.

 
 

Kind of in the mood for using floppy diskettes now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNiuassKZvA

 

Hey Mozilla, how about you switch your employees' email, calendars, chats, and whatever else from Google and other proprietary, privacy-invading services to self-hosted OSS products first, and *then* send me emails asking me to sign some anti-Facebook petition?

 
 

It boggles my mind that so many blockchain/DLT advocates publish blog posts on Medium and use Twitter over Mastodon. You can always do both, but why not do decentralized Web first and sync to central silos second?

 
 
 

Huh, I had totally missed that Wire pivoted from personal messaging to business team chat platform: https://wire.com/

 
 

The timing of this concerted anti-Facebook campaign is rather interesting. FB recently changed the timeline algos to contain much more actual social content from friends and family, and I see hardly any propagandistic political links anymore. Twitter otoh is worse than ever.

 

If you tried to switch to Mastodon in the past, but found yourself lost in the fediverse, here's a great writeup for you: https://theoutline.com/post/2689/mastodon-makes-the-internet-feel-like-home-again?zd=1&zi=uiatp7...

 
 

GitHub wants you to: "Write to EU policymakers [...] and ask them to exclude “software repositories” from Article 13." https://blog.github.com/2018-03-14-eu-proposal-upload-filters-code/

How about protesting all upload filters, period? You don't care about freedom and privacy, you only care about your bottom line here.

 

Would anyone find it terribly weird for remoteStorage to allow "If-None-Match" headers on PUTs, and returning 304 Not Modified in case the document already exists with that ETag? HTTP specs only mention it for GET and HEAD requests.

 
 
 
 
 

Here's an easy and completely free way to make your (un)conference more inclusive, as well as better for the environment: have people pay for their t-shirts. If you want *great* shirts that people will actually wear, you can then also charge the proper price for those.
