It's super cool that it supports this, heck I've used it when no other options were there (and thank git I could! It made a nightmare into just a little more work instead).
I will say though, it's most of the other software forge features that people normally talk about adding Activity Pub support for (issues tracking, merge requests, tracking forks, CI tooling, handling documentation, etc).
We need to have an honest conversation and additional amendments as to limitations as to businesses incorporated with the State should have imposed on them. They are clearly apart of what anyone would call "the state" IMHO.
Awesome stuff! This is something that major already know, but governments are learning. You can actually invest in FOSS, and unlike renting software you can make improvements that will better fit what you need it to do and not have to pay more for privilidge in the future.
And for everyone saying KDE as opposed to Gnome, they work together you dinguses! It's a friendly competition at times, but being FOSS they can and do easily learn and grow from each other.
I am in the boat that it could be a great thing, but it's the systems around that just currently don't have the level of trust to really leverage it.
If local AI used with systems with absolutely minimal storage and good p2p levels of permission were used and laws to minimize abuse by the state and corporations were in place it would different.
By example the opposite of what Ring represents would be good to me.
They need that to dual license, no?
Another good example in the fediverse space is peertube too!
For me I've had issues with getting organzational support for use anything close to p2p, with things like "keep that bot net off my system" being said. On personal side I had issues with ISPs assuming traffic was illegal in nature and sending me bogus cease and desist notices.
Agreed though. At least webrtc has a strong market. IPFS and other web3 things also have tried to find footholds in common use, so the fight isn't over for sure!
Synergy that!
Synergy that!
As a former RedHat advocate it sucks honestly, I have to find companies like Rancher and Suse that off truly FOSS products now. Like I want opensource devs to get paid if they are being depended on, but the RedHat paywall makes avoiding the vendor lock or trying to be cost flexible a legal land mine. They also offer more and more proprietary rebrands of FOSS projects that I fear will get EEEd as well.
Hey, at least remote works been really putting nails in the coffin of printed documents floating around.
But seriously keeping to a good set of tools, providing them at scale and some training will hopefully make the fall back to spreadsheets less attractive to at least the middle wave of adopters.
I would love to see the Mozzilla foundation double down on ActivityPub and host a Forgejo instance or work with Codeberg for hosting.
I wonder how much Github being the primary place for FOSS source code limits people around the world from joining the movement.
