The change would be using Gitmail as the plumbing, and normalising the creation of user-friendly porcelain on top.

E.g. suppose there is a repo foo/bar hosted by a forgejo instance at myinstance.org/foo/bar. Sending an email to foo.bar@myinstance.org (or similar) could automatically create a PR and, conversely, opening a PR could send a patch series to the foo/bar mailing list.

To be honest, I’m starting to drink the Sourcehut coolaid here. We have a distributed method of interacting with repositories: Email.

Don’t get me wrong, the current user experience of email-based patches and discussion isn’t great because it’s too easy to send a badly formatted patch. But if we invested time in making email patches easier to use (e.g. sending them through a web ui for people who prefer github style PRs) then we could skip all the architectural pains of solutions like forgefed.

Yes, and that success largely comes at the cost of neglecting development in every town and city outside of commuting distance from London.

That’s only true in the sense that liking scheme makes you become a language nerd

Honestly, +1 for Nation Builder. Generic isn’t necessarily a problem. It gives space for the gameplay itself to define the game’s identity, rather than its title.

I get that calling command line tools is a bit clunky, but python is always my go-to when shell scripting gets too painful

It takes 60 to pass a cloture motion to actually vote on a bill. This is necessary if somebody in opposition to the bill intends to filibuster. In the modern senate, one can filibuster simply by expressing an intention to filibuster. As such its often the case that a bill with any strong opposition in the senate does require a three fifths majority in favour to pass

Could be a non-native speaker using an LLM to translate with a specific tone

Appreciate the sentiment but can we please stop proscribing things? Surely we should have learned by now that this has an unacceptable effect on freedom of the press and the right to protest.

I do not want to see proscription become a cudgel wielded by successive political parties to ban support for any organisation they oppose.

Could this be the party desperately seeking to replace revenue streams as donors abandon them en masse?

Debian 13.

Tried open suse, but on my laptop it was slow and loud and the battery would die almost instantly (had to make it hibernate rather than suspend if I wanted it to make it through the night).

Installed Debian 13 and it feels like a new laptop. Not sure what exactly made the difference between the two but I’m not complaining…

Probably not. Same way that increasing employers NI contributions will have led to slower wage growth (its too early to tell for sure I think)

Before we all jump ship to linux phones, is it possible that custom android ROMs can remove this feature?

Not sure I like their definition of declarative. I’d instead say that a config is “declarative” if the result of applying that configuration is independent of the current state of the system.

I was referring to the text at the bottom of the press release:

By signing the petition you take a stand against a false narrative that downplays Africa’s vast size and diversity as the second-largest continent, reducing its perceived importance in global politics and economics. You can correct the narrative.

It seems to single out Africa because this campaign is led by Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa. I just thought it was amusing that the campaign text mentions Africa repeatedly but only indirectly mentions south america when referring to the global south.

Firstly, I do think that projections which enlarge Europe and north America relative to the global south are a problem and every curriculum should include education about how this happens and what the world really looks like.

But also, kinda funny how this project is very specifically about fairness for Africa. Why not include south America in there too?

To put this into context: Labour currently has an estimated 300,000 members, a figure which seems to be declining rapidly. (Its hard to get exact figures since they stopped publicising them…)

Obviously there’s a much lower barrier to entry here, but for that many people to be that engaged already is frankly astounding to me
