Precisely where the poison lies. Copying the npm/.node_modules monster is a terrible idea. Your point about C/C++ external libraries is also true. Which is why I like Hare's sensible and user-friendly inbetween.

I myself kinda hate Rust haha. Or more so the Rust ecosystem. But I do respect it's primary points of memory safety, etc.

The author of the manifesto holds these same opinions, and in fact made his own programming language in the spirit of C which addresses these issues. It might interest you.

I've contributed to Hare myself and enjoy the language.

@G117CH
What's your point?

@captainepoch @DjBRINE1
Everyone should have an alt, or multiple. It really solves a lot of problems!

For so many people (including me once), it never even occurs to them. It's really a mindset change that needs to happen. People are used to mindlessly filling out their (Facebook/Twitter/etc) profiles, and they become attached to this singular electronic entity, this single digital representation of them. It's a whole personality onto its own.

Multiple accounts should be commonplace. They allow you to produce different feeds with different personalities and registers of tone and content for different people, just like you would in the real world. It also exposes you to different subcultures around the network, just like how you'd explore the real world. You are complex person. I think the natural accident of federation results in this naturally better #fediculture.

There are many more good reasons, like network resiliency, proliferation of ActivityPub implementations, etc.

Did you know todo.sr.ht also supports git trailers?

> ...Matrix is a mess...

Totally agree.

I think codeberg would just fracture the whole thing. Its probably best you're sticking to SourceHut resources and media bins (catbox.moe).

@captainepoch
He returns! 🎺 I'm glad you we're able gain a new perspective and attitude towards Husky dev. Welcome back.

Also, about certain bug reporters having trouble sending multimedia via plaintext email, what are you thoughts on opening a dedicated Matrix channel? Maybe with a "multimedia only" rule, to not fracture discussion.

@metalune@fosstodon.org
Thanks for sharing. I might try it out, but I usually have YouTube already open in some way or another for things besides music.

I also use tilderadio.org a lot.

@yyp
The way you've described it, I've had pretty much the same vision for a while. "sourcehut-like", minimal, modular, etc.

I prototyped my server in Go. Nothing much yet.

We should definitely collaborate.
