I prefer reading my code out loud and saving it as a Audio file
That’s ridiculous.
I write mine on paper in cursive so no one can use it anywhere
Yeah, but do you organize the audio files when you make changes?
An audio diff file that explains through voice how to modify the previous code to be like the new code
Git is so easy to host yourself and everyone went and handed over all their code to evil corp to farm on anyway.
(Though I do understand that they were bought, but that was a while ago and it was only a matter of time before the evil seeped in.)
It’s such a simple reason tbh. Github is expected to stay online indefinitely. My VPS? As long as I pay the bill, which I may not want to at some point.
Codeberg is a decent middle ground - open source projects only. The site itself is open source too.
Their CI/CD minutes are very generous (unlimited!). Plus, if Microsoft wanted to scrape code, it doesn’t have to be on Github. They can scrape it off codeberg too. And I can be sure Github won’t shut down.
If Github does decide to screw users over, switching to self-hosted forgejo would be trivial.
I think you may be mixing up git, which is a command line tool that’s still open source, AFAIK, with github that’s a closed source, git-based code hosting platform bought by Microsoft.
You can use other hosting services with git, and get an almost identical experience. Gitlab does it, as well as many others.
You can serve up a git repository remotely very easily on any machine that has a remote access path.
No. You can use got itself. https://jasonmurray.org/posts/2020/selfhostedgit/

If it’s easy why are the open source developer class using Microsoft so much ?
Convenience and reputation. People expect github to be a legitimate source of software (despite the fact that there’s little moderation). The UI is familiar already too.
It’s easy to do a lot of things people don’t do.
Like OP’s mom
It’s a small thing but I appreciate how you didn’t use the image of the rapper of the original meme who seems like an overall terrible person.
Fuck Drake. Me and all my homies hate Drake
Yeah I don’t get how he was taken so seriously for so long by so many. I get that not every rapper needs to come from a broken and messed up background, but his verses don’t hit that hard due to all the inauthenticity, as if he did grow up on hard streets lol.
gitlab:
Neither. Version control and remote sync to your self hosted gitlab or gitea, or whatever (or no remote at all if you wanna go gambling with your hard drive).
I wanna go gambling with your hard drive.
This is how you lose your data if something goes wrong. Also, patch notes are extremely good to have.
Need to save them within porn jpg.
That way, when mandatory face recognition for age verification comes into play, I will know who you all are! Har har har!
wrapper_last_version_update.py
Uuuh Mrs/Mr professional programmer and their fancy individual version folders!
used RCS on a VM for years. learning curve not too bad. self hosted for small groups. 3-4 devs
No need for that. Have a local server. I don’t use git, it’s useless for what I’m doing, and Subversion is fine.
Subversion is always fine.
It’s ok, assuming you are counting down.
Interesting post, but maybe better suited for a dev-focused community? Would love to keep this space more for random stuff.
the occasional software developer post counts as “random stuff”, don’t you think?
True, but this kind of trend is why Fediverse platforms often stay programmer-heavy. Regular users join, see mostly dev talk even in general spaces, and bounce. I’m not really against posts like this, but I do wish Lemmy could grow its user base by keeping general spaces genuinely random.
Also, just being honest, it kind of sucks that my earlier comment got downvoted. I wasn’t trying to gatekeep, just sharing a harmless opinion about keeping the vibe more random and less tech-centered. Felt like I got shut down for it.
Reddit was like that too. Certain communities gradually became echo chambers just because one group dominated the tone. I’d hate to see Lemmy fall into the same pattern.
And just to follow the same logic—if dev memes count as “random” in lemmyshitpost, I guess I could post “what programming language should I use to build X?” in asklemmy, right? Feels inconsistent to label one as valid and the other as off-topic, depending on who posts it.
“What programming language should I use to build X” does not belong in AskLemmy, because that’s not the format of question that AskLemmy is for.
On the other hand, “What programming languages do you guys use” does belong in AskLemmy.
So basically, it’s not about the topic, but about how it’s framed? That kinda proves my point—tech stuff is allowed as long as it’s phrased vaguely or conversationally enough. Which is fine, but still makes the space biased toward people who are familiar with those contexts. I’m not saying don’t allow them, I’m just pointing out that this flexibility doesn’t feel equally intuitive to non-tech people, which can unintentionally gatekeep.
If niche stuff is going to live in general communities anyway, then what’s the point of having dedicated communities at all? Should we just post everything in the same place and hope the phrasing makes it acceptable?
Python 27??? Does tech in the future go full circle and starts to look like windows XP again?
It’s 2.7 lol
Well it says 27 >:(
I know :(
there is a better fork called forgejo
