I'm just saying laziness may have been the biggest motivator for them here.
@sir
And did anyone offer a pull request that would fix it during that year?

Here's how it works on sourcehut:
You pay us the subscription fee of your choice and you get access to our services. We spend it on maintaining and upgrading the hardware, and paying for staff to handle development, operations, support, and on-call.
Because we don't take money from investors, we're only accountable to users, and if we aren't working in your interests, we lose our revenue. We are incentivized to work for you, not to generate a return.
Because we're running 100% free software, we're held accountable because anyone can take our shit and run it on their own servers, or even bootstrap a competing company using our own software. We've made it easy to run out out of business if we lose your trust.

It makes no sense...
> copyright holders don’t receive revenue when content is streamed illicitly from an unlicensed region
Why not just region-lock each account to the location of their payment method?

Nothing against any developers, but I've never benefited from any federation feature of my self-hosted funkwhale server...

*Federation* is the true value behind ActivityPub, and you can get that without it

Are the recent Lenovo headlines something to be excited about w.r.t. good laptops for open source? (https://news.lenovo.com/pressroom/press-releases/lenovo-brings-linux-certification-to-thinkpad-and-thinkstation-workstation-portfolio-easing-deployment-for-developers-data-scientists/)

If you do any sort of programming and haven't already watched Jonathan Blow's wonderful talk, watch it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk

Would that rely on there being more good commits than bad?

You don't need hardware video decode if you just use Links! And websites are so much faster without any moving parts!

Safe to assume the syntax highlighting is coming from a text editor and not from a modified `cat`?
@pzmyers
Reveal.js (maybe through slides.com, though R-Studio can also make reveal presentations)
Shotcut (comparable to iMovie from the mid 00s)
Libreoffice writer
For your gradebook, I would be tempted to recommend making a file called grades.csv. CSVs are very portable, so there are dozens of programs that can open them.
@idanoo
How difficult is that to do? Like is it as easy as updating PKGBUILDs and sending them to the right... places
@sir
(Also, is it fair to call it `cubes.sr.ht` if I don't ever expect it to be hosted on the main sourcehut instance?)
