GitLab are behaving like bad open-source community members. Without freely available open-source software, they wouldn't have been able to create GitLab, turn it into what it is today, and make money from it. And they still need external OSS for that. Giving back to the open-source community should not be dependent on if a person can put food on the table while working on it. The deciding factor should be: non-profit organization or not.
Open-source projects can have GitLab for free, but only if they're unsustainable. Rule: "Your project should not have paid support or pay contributors" (regardless of the fact that it's non-commercial/non-profit). https://
Promising: there are currently 72 open PRs for Gitea, incl. one for code reviews, which is already marked for the 1.5 version milestone: https://
Gitea seems nice and can already do a lot, but living without code review features is not going to work for any project I'm involved it.
No way in hell will they ever implement real federation for CE. Look at this sh**: https://
Here's a list of pretty basic standard features you have to pay for: https://
At least it's easy to create org-wide issue labels, as opposed to GitHub. #gitlab #positives
If we want to move our free software from GitHub to self-hosted GitLab instances, we're going to need federated merge requests, and ideally also reviews, comments, etc.. This is possible with ActivityPub now. If you want this to happen, you could upvote https://
Always remember that a normal VC exit time is only 7-10 years. Then it's either IPO, or selling the company and its users. https://

In plain English: it means we can do away with blockchains for many use cases previously thought impossible to solve in a fully permissionless and decentralized way without them. #parsec
Maidsafe researchers claim to have solved asynchronous, decentralized, Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus. Significant implications if the math checks out: https://
Shitcoin cringe of the day: in order to even launch the EOS blockchain, the holders of at least 15% of tokens have to vote who will be the oligarchy nodes, which will control the network. Currently, they're expected to do this via a CLI program. 2 days left for educating the masses of "investors" in the largest ICO to date about it: https://
Free Software win of the day: signing PDFs using a scanned signature, extracted in GIMP, and placed in PDF using Xournal. Once you have the signature file ready, you can sign anything within seconds.
Is it really the case that on macOS there's simply no other option to increase font sizes than lowering the resolution of the display?!
