I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how open source works. I can’t imagine maintaining anything more than a tiny library that I can ignore six days of the week.

Also: open source relies on good jobs. You can only do it if you have a well paid low stress job with good hours. Those have been in short supply recently.

I think the free time covid gave, followed by the free time the layoffs gave, and AI have been patching / hiding the fact that the core model of open source is completely unsustainable in its current state.

There’s soft serve but it doesn’t have a UI

I do want it at least clonable over https

Radicle doesn’t support windows

Interesting, though this seems to only be a UI, not a server

To echo my other answer, I’m sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.

It seems designed for like teams of people. They both have like admin interfaces, which I can’t ever imagine for my use case.

I don’t know a ton about Gitea, but I’ve recently starting looking for a simple git server + decent web UI

Gitea and Forgejo are the main recommended ones, but they both seem overly complex. (3D File previews?? Who needs that?)

Maybe based on location? idk. It said from the start “after we verify your info”, I didn’t realize they literally wanted pics. I kinda stopped after that, but there seems to be no way to cancel the order, so I’m just letting it sit until it expires.

I tried OVH, prices seemed great… up until they asked me to verify my info with a picture of a government issued ID.

What the fuck.

Well I haven’t tested it so I can’t be sure. Also depends on res. I might get decent frames at a lower resolution, 720p maybe, but that’s also a compromise.

I’ve had it on my wishlist for years but my laptop would probably run it at like 20fps which is just low enough to be miserable

Subculture if you will

I though it was the opposite of what it was, and was confused as to why Elon would do something so good

idk, there seem to be some good ones, e.g

Did something change with the babylon bee? Sudden surge of actually decent content all of a sudden

It’s usually free tiers of paid products

There is a decent amount, these companies just like to ignore it. Problem is, boring familiar design is best design, but that’s not what gets the interest and jobs

That would have the unfortunate side effect of increasing negativity, as people are pushed to actually voice it instead of giving a harmless downvote. And when you consider the extra effort required, the downvote itself essentially becomes meaningless, turning this into a mechanism of “if you don’t like it, make sure to let everyone know why, or shut up” which I don’t think is very helpful.

That said, maybe something like adding an extra step where you choose a reason for the downvote from a list like “spammy, offensive, rude/toxic, annoying, misleading/innacurate” etc. or write your own, and those could be visible to moderators (anonymously) as a sort of micro-report. Would dissuade people from mindlessly downvoting and help improve moderation in the process.
