Sadly the majority of normal people don't want control. They just want it to do some trivial task without any fuss at any cost.

We need open bootloader and drivers for phones to make any real progress on this. This is what's holding back all initiatives.

What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github's best interest as being "the" code platform.

You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it's some moral crime.

Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it's utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

Project developers, not the users downloading from them, have to be the ones to move off of github. That's how this works.

Then cut yourself entirely off the internet, as it facilitates all of that.

This is honestly dumb. If you hate github then actively downloading from it and eating their bandwidth is helping your mission of killing them.

Where a project is hosted is irrelevant because if the platform shits itself one can simply just do git add remote someserver and push the whole project over to some new code hosting site.

You refusing to download from github is quite simply stupid.

Totally missing the point like an idiot.

But yes let's let the USA set the rules for content in other countries by means of government regulation and pressuring visa to become the morality and wrong think police. What could go wrong????

Install Google opinion rewards and just accumulate the money needed to buy an ad free copy my dude.

Sui specifically is a unique horse in this race, as they are trying to really push for zero knowledge/trust models as well as what is known in cryptography spaces as multi party computation.

What this all effectively means long term is several things

  • moving between one cryptocurrency on one chain to another can be done without trusting a 3rd party 'bridge'
  • you still retain control of your assets on cryptocurrency exchanges utilizing the tech instead of trusting some 3rd party like Coinbase or Charles Schwab to fulfill their end of the bargain
  • with the raise of the bs porn ID laws, this tech coupled with the unique dynamic NFTs sui has could generate you a proof token that has your personal info hidden after verifying with some trusted company handing these token out and being able to use them at sites to prove you are an adult without revealing your name.

The problem with all of this of course is it is very new tech, and it's hard to break into a space that's littered with scammers running pyramid schemes or just pulling the rug out from under people and running with the money.

The tech is there to eliminate a lot of unnecessary middle men in the financial world, but like all shiny new things, it is still lacking mass adoption and formal govt rules around it. This greatly limits the utility of this for the common man to just sending money to friends who have an exchange to cash them out or just paying for things visa won't let you, like Pornhub or something.

Godot or if you like Lua, Love2D (engine used for balatro) are solid options to get started with.

As if this fucking matters all while the ai hype literally spins up power plants just to handle the energy usage

And I suspect the core problem that has wended its way through the history of cryptocurrency is that the vast majority of people involved do not actually care what the thing they’re flocking to is. What they care about is that it has a graph, and that they get rich if the graph goes up, so they say whatever might make the graph go up. The graph even looks exactly the same for every coin and NFT and Whatever else: x-axis time, y-axis dollars. The only place the thing appears at all is in the title, where you can safely ignore it.

This is what agitates me in the crypto space. Any novel solutions for any problems get drowned out by grifters, freaky investors, or crypto coin airdrop hunters.

It makes the environment repulsive to any sane individual.

You just move to user directory installation of most tools via brew on Linux. It's not difficult. The Bazzite distro handles all this incredibly well via brew, flatpaks, and distrobox.
