@Polychrome @Jezebelley right, this sounds like a web app that should have been a git.

@Arotrios @siderea its a great post though I'm having trouble following through a series of toots. A blogging platform would help readability.

I still have no idea what the point of #Jenkins is.

How?

So I could just give this thing a Makefile instead.

...or I could use crontab + make.

Like a git hook?

Like over the web?
Can't I just put the output file on a web server?

What am I missing?

@thomasfuchs If countries don't do it, then I'm not sure it actually works.

Like, 'just learn to code and get a high-paying job' is bad advice because it doesn't work.

"But if you actually did it, then it would work" is true, but the advice is still bad, because it still doesn't work to solve most people's financial problems.

As to why breakups don't work, I'd assume lobbying plays a part.

@thomasfuchs The last breakups helped MS start, so I'm not sure that breakups work.

If governments want to get involved, they could stick Linux in schools, making it the default for a generation, and make sure their requirements are open.

All school coursework, websites, info on local utilities, et c., could work according to general browser specs, and that could establish those specs as a default.

They might also give some funding to open browser development.

@rasterweb you can edit, remove the image, then reupload, which lets you add the alt text. Source: I forget alt text all the time.

@ZeroPointParadigm I don't see a source or how it relates to my reply.

If 79% of Americans are vaccinated, then they should be a majority of those in hospital, because there are more of them.

Here's a longer post explaining basic stats from the same author as your screenshot of a headline:

@rysiek It's funny seeing 100% of the problems happen due to centralization. One idiot gets the reigns and everything's on fire.

An instance admin here can start spamming moon-landing conspiracy videos, and selling NFTs, but the rest of the fedi will move on just fine.

@Gasch @rysiek
Sure, but tech cannot stop ideologies. It can only guide connection, so this looks like the best possible solution.

@feditips @B1rn3 @veronicaexplains_channel Also Odysee's theoretically decentralized, but in practice, isn't.

Peertube is actually decentralized.
