Nah, you can build algorithms that make depressed teenagers with little to no tracking. Especially if they can train said algorithms from data they already have from the rest of the world.

That works at night, but much more difficult during the day because you eat stuff afterwards.

You can also get a smart lock that will tell you

So, everything you mentioned are reasons I’ve heard for people to switch from GitHub to GitLab, which is why I explicitly mentioned them both in the question.

So far no one has given me any advantage specific to codeberg. (Keeping in mind that GitLab is already open source, self-hosted, and federated via ActivityPub).

What exactly is the advantage of codeberg over gitlab and github? People just say “miscellaneous privacy benefits”

Also Kagi has a fediverse lens

Because it’s not effective? Or too effective? Haven’t read the article, but I’m guessing the former.

WIP

I remember hearing something about requiring a multi million dollar deposit or something that made it infeasible for all but the largest of tech companies.

What was perforce’s solution to this? If you delete a file in a new revision, it still kept the old data around, right? Otherwise there’d be no way to rollback.

It really doesn’t. My girlfriend needed to enable the Japanese keyboard on Kubuntu. That required half an hour of searching documentation and forum posts about how to install/enable FCITX5, then another hour debugging to find out it doesn’t work on apps installed via snap.

I still haven’t been able to come up with a KDE based distro (because it’s way more familiar to Windows users) that actually meets the needs of non technical users.

We don’t have corporations manipulating our feeds

yet. Once we have enough users that it’s worth their effort to target, the bullshit will absolutely come.
