Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Use Codeberg ;)
I agree with GitHub being bad, but the meme's content is worse and I'm afraid that there are people who agree with it. I don't like GitHub or Microsoft but since I get their stuff for free I do use but I'd love to use something that's open and supports git properly.
Use Codeberg ;)
I love repo.or.cz since it is enough.
What do you mean? Real Programmer use Zip file to share source code.
"real".
repo.or.cz is lightweight. Codeberg isn't, and it is currently not as fast as github.
You can always fall back to your "zip", anyways. But why don't .tgz?
I was just joking man. Yeah, I visit repo.or.cz it's pretty lightweight and I loved it.
But I don't think you are brave enough to take it up :)
Yea. I am not gonna use use repo.or.cz
a legend is born
Didn't that person just want to use it to stalk an ex on Facebook.
Dafuq??? EDIT: Yeah I just checked the app I guess it could be used for that in a way.
Our boy is over on 4chan right now posting about that again and everyone remembers and posting NYPA (not your personal army).
lmao
Amazing.
Yeah, that dude went on 4chan asking some very specific questions, that's how I recognized it.
nuked my github few weeks ago.
Is this copypasta yet?
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CODE!! WHY IS THERE CODE? JUST MAKE A FUCKING EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME.
who needs code, when all we need is exe files.
I think it's so popular because secretly everyone agrees
Fuck that, I don't trust executables unless they're signed, downloaded securely (e.g. HTTPS), and I trust the source I downloaded them from. Anything else might as well be a virus. If I can't find a signed binary from a trustworthy source, I'm either not using it or I'm going to build it myself (after skimming through the code).
I used to think github invented git when I was new to programming 😓
Fun fact, Linus has said that he has named both of the major pieces of software he has authored after himself - Linux and Git.
Git is a somewhat old British slang insult for someone stupid/childish.
So GitHub is then .. a hub of gits.
If you look at the issues discussion of any popular project there...
I guess it's the right name.
Software Freedom Conservancy has a pretty nice page called Give Up GitHub!, definitely check that out
I thought this was going to be a FOSS discussion, comparing GitHub and it's current owner - Microsoft - to the ethics of other hosting services like codeberg.org or something.
Then I saw where this was posted.
I am new here. Can you kindly elaborate.
The previous Microsoft's CEO truly hates FOSS, famously calling it cancer. Then the next CEO reversed Microsoft's stance on FOSS, acquiring the largest FOSS collaboration site. Naturally, many view this move with suspicion since Microsoft has a history of embracing something only to extinguish it later.
A lot of people associated with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) have major objections to GitHub. Here's one summary: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/
But the TLDR; version is roughly:
Alternative do exist, and some like codeberg.org are specifically open sourced, and pro-open source, so many people are pushing to move hosting away from GitHub and onto other options.
Thanks for explaining it in such good detail but I was referring to your last sentence. I'm new to lemmy and I'm still looking for good communities and blocking the bad ones. I apologise for not being clear enough in the first reply.
Oh - this isn't a bad community, that isn't what I meant by my last sentence - this is just a place for memes and jokes more than serious discussion, hence my expectation of a serious discussion was subverted. But programmer humor is still a great place.
and its* current owner
Yes, I normally speak english good, but your corect to, i make a typo then.
I'm looking forward to the Forgejo Federation to be completed.
It will be nice to not have to choose between self hosting your repository and having your repository discoverable.
Is forge federation ready to be used by developers around the world? Not yet.
But the first Forgejo release with native federation implementation based on ForgeFed and F3 is expected next year.

Why is it a fiddle
Fiddle was found in a thrift store. Couldn't afford the bongos.
I get this is a meme, but the most successful projects are the ones that quickly get you running and are supportive to new users. I'll get off my soapbox.
