  • I agree that porn is a nsfw way to explain something in a lot of scenarios but I disagree about people needing to know at least the names of a technology from an explanation.

    Most people don’t need to know or care about the names to understand or use them. Knowing the names after I learnt the commands did not give me greater insight into how the tool works.

    If they are just being introduced to git and github then they are likely new to programming and have much more important things to care about like learning their first programming language or understanding how their teams project actually works.

    A place to host gits is a perfectly good explanation for anyone who is new to it.


  • How many people use Pornhub for discovery though? I usually find interesting content through a search engine, through word of mouth, through posts on here, etc. at which point it doesn’t really matter where the porn is hosted. A lot of the useful content I use aren’t even on Pornhub.

    Seriously though, I agree with you, githubs value to open source is not it’s discover-ability. Personally I think its value comes from the stability, as much as I’m an advocate for self-hosting I know from the amount of dead links on the internet that we could have lost a lot of projects or at least they would move about as hosts went down.

    I quite like the idea of federated gitea, although technically there is already a federated platform for porn if you count Lemmy and/or mastadon.




  • So an organisation the US is a member of, contributes to financially and has a large amount of influence in has blocked the democratic election of a Latin American leader. Allowed the installment of a temporary leader that they like. The current US president at the time vocally backing the organisation mentioned above and regurgitating the misinformation pushed by that organisation.

    The only involvement you saw was a couple of congress members calling for the US to investigate and calling for the US to promise not do what they have always done, starting now.

    Did you even read the article?

    Also nice of you to ignore the first half of my original comment.





  • There is no such thing as passive surveillance if all surveillance data can be automatically flagged or you have an army of agents trawling through it all. Both things America is doing.

    Saying fuck the US government online probably puts US citizens as well as global citizens on lists.

    America is notorious for embedding into and destroying movements. This happens to this day.

    Also hate to break it to you, if you’re in the US you’re physical movements are also most likely tracked.

    It’s pure cope to say you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide as you just did.
