After long periods of not using GUIs, I found myself very confused every time I want to do something. I was trying to insert a code block into Power Point yesterday, took me half an hour of googling and didn’t manage to do it. With Latex, I googled and in 2 minutes I had a code block.
Sure, but some countries are more neutral, hosting in Switzerland would be for sure better, while USA is probably the worst choice.
And you wouldn’t need to worry about it if you could host your own server and be able to communicate with other servers, like Lemmy is doing, you get the best of both worlds
They had to do it, but this is the downside using a git server hosted in non neutral country. You never know when USA will decide to impose sanctions on a country for whatever reason.
It is one of the reasons many European companies do not use Github, as it is USA based.
Well not really, you would need an account in the organization in order to create issues, pull requests for a privately hosted instance. You can see the public repository but apart from cloning you cannot do anything else.
While Gitlab.com is centrally hosted, not much different than Github, you still cannot communicate with other Gitlab hosted servers.
Thanks. There is also a Gitlab issue requesting this feature, which I am tracking.
It needs to reach a polished state before organizations and university adapt it. So something like what you linked probably wont fly.
Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability. My organization hosts Gitlab instance but I would still rather host my open source project on Github instead, because its impossible to collaborate on Gitlab with external users who dont have an account on our instance.
Once there is a federation feature similar to Lemmy, I would be happy to host everything there.
First of all, the USA is not the center of the world, the problems you guys have with mass shooting is not caused by the “hate speech”.
And again banning hate speech is just masking the deeper institutional/educational problems you have, not solving them.
Interesting, so like the USA is doing?
Including corporations, that’s why we are all on lemmy, is it not? 😉
Not every country has the same law, the fact that the law exists doesn’t mean its a good law.
Its forbidden to mention nazi Germany? I guess we should just forget about it and let it happen again, because it hurts your argument.
The problem comes when you let the government decide what is “hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism”. It gives government too much power to control the opposition by censorship.
If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol
I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.
Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”
Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens. Just look at nazi Germany.
USA is an openly imperialistic country also 😬 . Should we block all media from them?
You are blocking your own citizens to access the media. Meaning the government is actively curating the viewpoint to the citizens. Same like China is doing no?
Same could be said for USA. Because the person above mentioned China, Iran, North Korea blocking media for political reasons. I mentioned that EU countries are doing the same. We should not have double standards.
Many countries are spewing propaganda bullshit, including and in majority coming from USA. I don’t think media channels from USA should be blocked.
Switzerland is doing the right thing, they never blocked any news channel or limiting freedom of speech in that way.
Well most of the EU countries including France blocked all media channels from Russia
I think they would be more moderate if more moderate people would have opportunity to participate. Right now all of the non left instances or communities get too quickly defederated and deleted, so moderate people who would normally participate dont want to create na account on a completely defederated instance. The only thing you are left of there are some crazies.
The only way I heard of conservative communities here is from a post that is asking for defederation or deletion
