Yes, git, however host a repo for anyone it's another story. In the past most FOSS projects was mirrored by tons of different participants, mostly universities, ISPs, companies with reasonable resource and being part of the project its

I reformulate: no governments that theoretically can achieve free energy want it, perhaps governments that can't dream it as a temporary solution to find a way to lock it out for their own sake. Better? Keep in mind a thing: hitler was

Did you try org-mode "habit" ? It miss the Google assistant trigger, unless you write some kind of support but offer an incomparable comfort and effective environment + of course the entire org :-)

Of course there are FOSS paid developers, for instance Intel pay few devs to work on Linux in order to have the hw they sell work properly. That's good. That's not someone that live on FOSS, that's a company that participat

Good. On witch cloud? Google? Amazon? Microsoft? When I was a bit younger I read that "internet" was a fantastic decentralized infrastructure explicitly design to being fault-tolerant and unlockable as possible to survive any crit

Ah ok, so you change Microsoft cloud for Google cloud... UAU... And what about PRs&c? Sorry for being rude but for me is unacceptable to depend on tons of proprietary stuff from a handful of vendors. Even personal websites that use Go

IMO no, it isn't. FOSS project need participation, so not money but resources. FOSS idea is that software is knowledge, something that must be public and grow through interaction (sharing). So if I have a need or a desire and I start i

Hem, no perhaps is my poor English but you do not understand: I know what a git remote is. My point is what kind of "other remote" a typical FOSS project have these days? In the past we have tons of hosters so we can easily spread

Of course, like the trend "hey if it does not work for you write down your code"... On git only: what is another remote? A GitHub concurrent company? A personal dyndns from a single developer with a fable ADSL? On GitHub: many use

I do not want to depend on any proprietary platform, it doesn't matter if it's friendly or not. I favor a distributed model as much as possible, that means for now having personal/projects classic websites, mirrored for insta

Nice but no. We need to push Free Software and to push it at political level, with the target of forbid closed source products. We do not need subsistence economy, we already won technically, open code is everywhere now. The big loss is t

They simply can't... Less powerful in that sense means less developed. Such kind of research demand enormous resources and knowledge. These days industrial knowledge is mostly in private hands with universities that are not anymore a &

IMO bamboo can't be a bigger thing than wood simply because: - bamboo cultivation came from not-much-developed countries, so not much good for us and not much easy to develop for them; - bamboo duration, even with not so cheap treatmen

Telegram is insecure by nature because it's a proprietary service. It doesn't really matter much how is coded or how appear to be coded. Not to reduce the value of author's analysis of course, but just to clarify a point: no

DuckDuckGo is a company, so it's aim is not develop something to solve a problem they have but making money. That's why it can't be trusted as any other proprietary service. Only FOSS so projects developed by someone, compani
