Gitgud/Gitlab

>>923842

>GitLab

Much better than GitCuck, so if you are going to recommend something to normies recommend GitLab. It get's a C[1] from GNU so that's a passing grade (and acceptable enough to host GNU projects), but there are a few details that need to be ironed before it gets a ironed out[1]:

<All JavaScript code served to the client is free, but does not work with LibreJS enabled. (B0)

<Encourages bad licensing practice, including no license; failure to state the license on each source file; and failure to say which GPL versions apply. (B2)

Again, it's a googoplex times better than GitCuck, but not quite "perfect" yet.

(sage for double posting)

>>923845

>All JavaScript code served to the client is free, but does not work with LibreJS enabled.

Isn't LibreJS to blame then?

>>923846

Gitlab just has to add some metadata saying where you can download the source code. It's a trivial change.

>>923845

Do you know if those are still applicable (I wouldn't be surprised if they still were). That page says its entry was last updated in 2015.

>>923846

LibreJS is a joke

>Do all the hard work in inventing a DVCS

>Some fags wrap a closed source rails interface over it

>Everyone thinks the rails project is the only way to use it

>The rails project is valued at selling for $5 billion.

Choosing GPL over AGPL, serves him right.

>>923860

>>923845

Slightly off-topic, but can Savannah be used for personal projects?

>>923842

Don't work without JS.

>>923935

I think so, but Linus would have never used AGPL.

>>923860

Don't underestimate the value of having a centralized namespace.

>>923940

I don't think so, they seem to want to encourage sharing, and their FAQ states that they have high approval requirements.

>>923949

It was, and has been for a long time, ever since they bowed to SJWs and their CoC and anti-meritocracy trash.

EEE and the accelerationist/gommie LARPers who think this fits in with their non-plans

>>923836

This.

>>923971

That's a different issue. The issue LibreJS is addressing is non-Free Javascript, code that does not respect your Freedom. LibreJS will happily run the shittiest most harmful code as long as it's free. Freedom and security are two different (but still important) issues. Besides, what >>923985 already said.

The Plutocracy of Github

God, I came when I saw this news. Every one using this fucking plateform, all these fucking liberals praising github like "look at this nice service! That's the perfect example of capitalism done right!". Yet they get bought by fucking microsoft.

Get fucked.

Why do you care about Github? Your Git repositories don't need Github at all.

>>924156

Github is the AOL of git.

>>924156

People have tangled their git repositories and issue tracking to a level that a project history won't just copy over. You'll have a lot of 'closes #123' with no mention of what that meant. Much of the knowledge of what a patch was for will be lost as the conversations are in issue tracking. The knowledge of what a pull was for will be lost. Migrating a project where the history is valuable is hard.

>>924232

Can't you rip it from their web interface?

>>924242

It'd be difficult to rip it and glue it back in to a system without the same features or users. People had the same issue with sourceforge.

>>923842

>>923845

Gogs seems also like a good alternative

>people in this thread don't get clues about what GitHub is

GitHub is not just web front-end for git, it is a social network that is basically now mandatory for everyone to get a programming job, like LinkedIn (owned by MS too), also it is a Geocities-esque static website hosting and it works well without JS at all, unlike other freetard clones like shitbuket and gitgud.

Also this:

>>924232

>>924294

I'm pretty certain that every single person here knows just what GitHub is.

>>924156

github is something of a replacement for a portfolio. it's a scannable all-in-one interface for potential employers to see if (a) you know how to work git (b) you know how to write code (c) you know how to self-aggrandize.

using it like a social media site as they've added cancerous shit like reaction emoji helps to drive up the numbers but requires you to be a dickless fuck more interested in virtue signalling than writing decent code.

>>923840

>Isn't it ironical that git was developed to be destributed, but ended up being used just like SCCS?

That's almost the same case as e-mail, but as usual the general public will make the average use case to something more primitive. Not to say the more sophisticated features are removed or impossible to use, just that the average way something has been used is changed.

>>924294

>it works well without JS at all, unlike other freetard clones like shitbuket and gitgud.

What about teknik? It was a /g/ project pre-gamergate and it works fine.

What devastating changes do you think we can expect? I'm sure they'll let you sign in with a Microsoft ID, integrate it with LinkedIn, but both of these could be ignored. I'm wondering about changes that even the most soylent imbued javascript fag will recoil from.

>>924525

5 free commits for your first month!

>>924525

Don't be a sensationalist idiot. If you think that every bad thing that happens has to be associated with some kind of catastrophe, then you clearly don't actually care about those issues.

>>924530

This. Remember that M$'s acquisition of Skype, for instance, resulted in no immediate changes, but instead a steady trickle of depredations that turned it into the single-window, centralized, Electron-based, walled garden it is today.

>>923840

Git and github are completely different things, retard.

>>924232

Those people deserve what they get. Nobody says you can't add Gitcuck metadata to your commits, but morons who write nothing BUT the metadata deserve to get their patch rejected. When Linus tore gitcuck a new asshole by saying the commit messages of most open source projects were horrible, he wasn't kidding.

Seriously people, study what the Linux kernel contribution process is like. It's like math: you show the maintainer what your patches are doing and why, step by step, until you arrive at your desired solution. The commit messages must be clear and explain your thought process or your shit gets rejected because nobody wants to be stuck maintaining your shit code later on. They use metadata too: sign-offs allow them to audit who accepted shitty patches and tell them to fix their shit.

> The login system gets deleted and replaced by a Microsoft ID thing that prioritizes your Microsoft username over Github's username system, resulting in everyone having their @names taken away by random name squatters belonging to a 6 year old, unused Outlook account.

> At the same time, Github support gets outsources to Microsoft Support, which is already outsourced to the most rural parts of India, resulting in @name restoration requests recieving "I'm sorry, Sir. I am unable to do the needful." responses.

> A few months later, following a rather cryptic announcement by Microsoft regarding plans to "improve enterprise issue tracking", everyone suddenly finds Github's issue tracking system being replaced with an <iframe> reading to Microsoft's new, revolutionary Office 365 issue tracking system that serves an ample amount of 503's and has an average latency of 6 - 18 seconds. But don't worry, purchasing Github 365 Premium resolves all these problems, at an affordable $99 per year per repo.

> A few months after that, Microsoft's CEO announces that he "understands the frustrations" of the new Office 365 issue tracking system, especially when hosting multiple repos. Therefore Microsoft is now rebuilding Github to be leaner and better, and offering better Office 365 integration. This is followed by yet another announcement on Github's website that they are changing how repos work. Free account users can now only have 1 repo per account, "to avoid unnecessary resource usage, ensuring that Office 365 issue tracking will work better than ever", as the announcement put it.

> A year later, Microsoft announces an exciting new look for Github. The only problem is that it requires JavaScript. A lot of JavaScript. So attempting to access Github with JavaScript turned off simply presents you with a blank page saying "Please turn on JavaScript" with a sad octopus next to it. In the same announcement they also quickly mention that free account users can no longer use use "external apps" to get or push things to/from their repo. The only solution is to upgrade to Github 365 Premium, or use a "Microsoft Certified App", such as Visual Studio 2019, for development.

> Yet another year later Microsoft announces proudly that Github is now part of Office 365, ensuring that every enterprise will have their own, integrated, simple source code managing tool. No other info is given, aside from marketing buzzwords talking about SUCCESSFUL and REVENUE. Free users is suddenly presented with a "This account does not have an active Office 365 subscription. Click here to buy." when they attempt to login. Attempts at backing up or migrating their account fails with 403 errors, since you now need an Office 365 subscription to access any Github page.

>>923825 (OP)

Github is the facebook equivalent of software "development".

I would assume, anyone who is capable of using a compiler, should know how to self host his own shit.

So the only reason to use it for personal projects, is to have a bragging space

>hey guis look at my awesome project that i just forked from some other popular repo, but i replaced all the comments with gender-neutral pronouns!

All those normalfags can't live by themselves, without constant reinforcement from others, so its just fitting that they crawl there to show off.

If they could somehow insert selfies into their code, they would.

>shill about libre software

>use Github

If you use it, you kinda deserve anything happens to it.

Github's and Bitbucket's success shows that even libre devs will give up their values for a little bit better UI.

Doesn't matter that Fossil SCM is better than git in every way. It doesn't matter Bazaar is far superior to git in every way. The only thing matters that Github has a fancy look.

>>923842

>>923845

Where does Microsoft stand on the SJW issue? I wonder if the Github bluehairs are going to be in for a rude awakening when the Pajeets flood in and tell them to go make sandwiches.

>>925193

Microsoft doesn't care about blue-hairs. That was a marketing tactic to win over more consumers because consumers need to be told what to think. This move by Microsoft is consolidation of code and to move people over to compiling code on Microsoft approved servers with Microsoft approved keys. Good luck running your own programs on your own hardware.

>ribbon has nothing to do with coding

The CoC is just as, if not more important than any algorithm. The ribbon allows the fat walruses in your HR department to easily highlight and emphasize important parts of the CoC.

I think Microsoft needs to introduce a Microsoft Word Rich Source format, so we can have word processing edits stored in source code. Certain algorithms could be triggering, and thus included in a smaller size. Also, contributions by POC need to be emphasized, so they should be in bold, and in larger sizes so they're no longer "hidden figures". This is so important that the new Github Enhanced Ribbon will create high paying senior engineer supervisor jobs for the purpose of applying much needed corrections to historic code imbalances. Think of the possibility, a rich code format could bring, code is soooo much more than just computer algorithms, it's a rich, very human experience that requires the tender care of many collaborating communities across the spectrum. In today's crusty old plain text formats, you can't even include photos or as >>924638 said, selfies in the comments. We need to change that.

>>925525

They are goin to use github as the official intake for new programs for Microsoft products, possibly including xbox. After you submit your code to github, it will then send that over to an azure server, compile it for your chosen hardware, sign it, then send it back to github, where you can download it.

Every company will be doing this within the next 10 years, but expect to see Apple do it in 5 years once they get rid of the Macintosh product line and replace it with large iPads.

>b-b-b-b-but desktops will never die

Read the trends. You won't be seeing your desktop ever again very soon, and that's a fact we've already accepted.

>>928509

Take it another step forward. Why were all these Intel hardware bugs released? It's because they want people to associate x86 and desktop computers with security risks and prefer the ARM ISA and mobile platforms instead.

>>928509

People have been saying desktops will be dead for over a decade now. Really who gives a fuck either way, as long me and a couple of nerds still want to use their niche desktop and enjoy it.

>>928521

>People have been saying desktops will be dead for over a decade now

And this time it's actually happening. See >>928517 for further proof. 8ch is for realists, not idealists. Maybe reddit will be more your style.

>>928521

For a decade? Really? What was going to replace? The flip phone? The PDA? There is undeniable proof now that it is far better for business interests to abandon desktop platforms in favor of mobile ones. Consumers have abandoned the desktop, and many current desktop users are currently moving over to mobile. There is no disputing that. The problem are the niche like yourself. What will happen to you is that no new software will be developed for your platform. You will slowly be required to use apps instead of websites (already is happening with things like instagram) to connect to any network. What you will be left with is likely no network access outside the mundane that you and your friends put together. Let's face it. You and your friends will get bored of that really quick and just accept using mobile like everyone else.

>>928524

A well-put, well-detailed post, anon. /tech/ could really use more cold, calculating truthbombers like you to smack cuckchan immigrants with a good, hard dose of reality. Just give it up, your desktop will be no more soon.

>>928523

>>928524

So billion dollar industries are going to stop producing hardware for desktops because Intel is shit. Got it.

>>928531

They already are. Did you not see the glut of available video cards last year and this year? That isn't because of miners. That's because NVIDIA and AMD focused more on providing to mobile, console, and other embedded markets than providing for the desktop. The miners just happened to show how devestating the scarcity was. If those companies had thought their cards were going to be used for mining, they would've produced additional cards to meet expected demands for the mining and pc gaming markets. These companies are already switching. You haven't been looking or don't want to look though.

>>928532

>You haven't been looking or don't want to look though.

Most likely the latter. Sad that >>928531 doesn't want to face reality like we have. We accept that there is nothing that can be done about the eternal Cloud Era of the world, happening in only 10 years at the latest. Pathetic how these worms still fight back.

To those still sticking to desktop.

Your resistance means nothing. The facts presented in this thread have been more than enough proof as to why our time is almost up, and that everything will be streamed from the cloud within a decade maximum. Desktops, especially Linux will soon be associated with terrorism by the 99% of the population whose only device is a mobile phone. The sooner you accept the mobile-only future, the easier it will be on you once it does happen.

>>928544

>How? You literally said yourself

>the kikes have told/forced hardware companies to stop creating desktops/laptops and desktop/laptop parts.

I told you how, start working on free hardware. Jewtel, AMD, ARM, IBM, nvidia, samsung, apple, jewgle, and imagination technologies are kike ran. So create your own company and release the steps for building the software and or hardware anonymously when it is completed. Like how the Z80 specs are widespread/easy to access.

<And they will come after us. It's over before it began.

No the kikes already have obtained those companies. It's only over if you don't start building stuff yourself you faggot.

>>928544

Let it be known that the idea behind shilling such is this is to instill a mindset of doing nothing. This is exactly how the kikes have taken over civilizations, by tricking them into doing nothing. Take action and create/build hardware that is FOSS and don't buy into the it's impossible or you will get killed bullshit.

>>928543

Until there are people who will fork out tens or hundreds of millions of Dollars to develop these open hardware solutions, no real competition will develop. Hobbyist intrigue will always be hobbyist intrigue until actual money is invested and grows the effort.

Think about it, how many tens or hundreds of thousands of people, maybe even millions of people if considering the entire world, want desire need an open solution? Are those multitudes going to deposit $1, $5, $10,000 to see something done?

If they pooled their money together, and let's be generous, say 10,000 people that have $10,000 desposable annual income, if they pooled all that together it would amount to $100,000,000. Now, how many jobs would that create, how much market influence would that attract, how much difference would that create, how much better would things be, how much more control would actual users have over their hardware and software?

That's only 10,000 people. What if there are 1,000,000 but they only have $50 desposable annual income? That's still $50,000,000. That's still jobs, influence, difference, betterment, control.

All it takes is a choice to act. Inaction is still a choice. This is the future we choose.

/debate

And another well-said post from the realists of /tech/, informing useless worms of the reality that they are going to be living in. This debate should have ended at >>928420, as I'm sure most of this board will agree.

>>928548

>>928543

See >>928553 for a hard dose of reality. The rest of /tech/ has accepted it, so why don't you? Is it mayhap you be too scared of reality?

>>928557

>>928553

This is why I love /tech/ in the dead of night. Cold hard redpills like these run wild from users of significant intellect, and grasp of realism. Now if only we be like this all day round...

Inaction is realism

There is nothing to be done about the cloud-only future

Lay your sword

>>928548

>don't buy into the it's impossible or you will get killed bullshit.

But that is the mindset of realists such as I, and the rest of /tech/. When will you stop this fetishization of idealism and accept the reality that we had already accepted so long ago?

Stop being so gay. It's okay to support what other Anon's are saying, but you don't have to go around and be such a faggot about it. The way you talk is obnoxious and its clear that you're fresh off the boat.

>Haha you totally need linkedin(tm) to get a job these days!

Why are you kids so cringe?

Intel fucked up by playing fast and loose in their designs, so now they're going to lose some customers. Their best interest was to keep everything quiet and then the cianiggers could have used those holes for their nefarious purposes. But that's history now, the cat's out of the bag. Other platforms (like say ARM Cortex-A7) don't have these bugs, and if you're running free/libre firmware (which is available for some of those boards), then there's also less potential for problems than with Intel's closed up shitware.

>>928534

Garbage post. Go shitpost on /b/ or something else made for that.

Oh look, the schoolchildren arrive to deny the truth. How trite...

>>928540

You don't have any facts, moron. You're saying the Intel jews are going to stop making desktop and server hardware and just let their cash cows dry up. That's the stupidest shit ever written on /tech/.

>>928745

There's no truth in your posts, you don't provide any facts, just FUD. And then when you're called out, you lash out.

>>928746

>>928748

Look at recent trends. Less and less people are using the desktop. It's over for our kind. Listen to /tech/ and just stop trying to revive what is already a dying trend.

Dude. It's the future we choose. Unless we pool our money together to create something that isn't and compete with this monster, we are left with the beast.

>>928917

THIS!

While we have actual sources to back our claims, the cuckchanner worms have baseless insults to throw at our actual research.

Say it loud and proud, people!

THIS IS THE FUTURE WE CHOSE!

>>928691

>>928565

See >>928917

And that's why we blackpilled are superior to the cuckchan worms. Dead silence on their end.

We can guarantee you you are the only people in your respective general areas with a desktop computer. Get bent.

>>928918

You are not quite getting what I am pointing at. I don't mind mobile users myself, they can do what they want. What I do mind is corporations forcing me to sign each and every one of my binaries with their keys so I can run my own programs that I wrote on the hardware the I own. I don't want this. This is why I say this is the future we choose and not this is the future we chose. The future isn't here yet. Anons have proved time and again they can make changes in society, and that includes without much sacrifice on an individual anon's part. If we choose inaction, we will live in the world without open hardware with which we can program and run how we want. If we choose action, we can create whatever we want and have fun while doing it. That's my point. Understanding business trends gives us a glimpse of what kind of battle we are preparing ourselves for. We can choose to battle, or we can concede and lose by default.

THIS IS THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE
