I have a friend who is a software engineer and is a fan of trains (i.e. open data). They are looking for a job in and around NRW, Germany. They can work with just about any modern language other than Haskell and COBOL. Whether it's tinkering around with the Linux kernel, being able to tell you which train to take or dealing with enterprise-grade software – they can do it all. Unfortunately, the market is tough right now. Can any of you all help / give leads? #FediHire #FediJobs #GetFediHired

Today, I was accused of using an LLM to write a response in Greek, because, of course, nobody speaks Greek anymore and Greeks aren't real.

hey all #codeberg folks, codeberg currently need helps with the following: we wish to deploy a latest version of our "membership registration form" with lots of new information (https://join.codeberg.org) but we are waiting for translations by the community. you can view a more recent version and compare here: https://join-test.codeberg.org if you have a couple of minutes of time, it would really help a lot: https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/codeberg/ev-registration-server/ source code: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./registration-server

@magicmarcy@ruhr.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de The infrastructure is free-to-use, but comes at the "cost" of giving back to the community - those are indeed our house rules, and this is how we use non-profit (donated) money as per our statutes. Besides, other platforms are more monetarily expensive and don't offer you the entire source code under a free and open-source license to self-host if you don't agree with their price, right?

And also, I find it rather peculiar that people join Codeberg because it's more "sovereign" but then go ahead and base their projects on "rugpull" subscription-based services and create things that won't be maintainable in the long run. It's just plain annoying. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UymN5scMpZM

If you are using Typst to edit a document and you "refer to" later or earlier sections – it is definitely lifesaving if you move text around, helps keep track of repetitions, causes errors if you remove the section and helps the reader avoid scrolling/searching through the text. It also adds polish.

Definitely a must if you're e.g. writing a thesis.

Example:

== Section 1

== Section 2

#link()[In an earlier section], we elaborated on...

@magicmarcy@ruhr.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de We don't see ourselves as "a GitHub alternative" because we play by different rules for the benefit of free and open-source projects, and that is what we market ourselves with (and that was the goal we were trying to make).

@pojntfx Still 99.9% trained on top of stolen data, an unimaginable waste of resources by treating public infrastructure as "free real estate" (without respect for robots.txt, by visiting often the same links ten thousand times or using sketchy residential proxies to hamper services like Codeberg's and circumvent explicit "no"'s), and vibes towards the law (which really doesn't apply to the commoners™ in many jurisdictions).

@tinx@jit.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de I considered this before casting my vote, but we do ask the general assembly for the following and try to include it whenever we need guidance (e.g. opinions on controversial topics): https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/en/bylaws.md#8-general-assembly For a matter that is (from my perspective) in line with our non-profit's enshrined mission (see: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/en/bylaws.md#2-purpose-and-tasks) while representing both users and members, I am not sure why it's bad that we, as appointed representatives, did not (at least this time around).

@dpk I am increasingly associating GitHub links with "place where people complain that a maintainer is relying on AI a bit way too much" too often. It would be great if alternatives put a stop to that to "contain" the damage to the free and open-source software community on there. https://hachyderm.io/@AndrewRadev/116176001750596207

@tinx@jit.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de It is also possible to raise hell if you think we're not doing our job properly and, as has happened in the past, if you'd like for Codeberg to stand for something but the "presidium isn't listening", it is possible to put a proposal forward and have everyone vote on it (in a more "direct democracy" kind of way).

@tinx@jit.social @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de I'll keep that in mind and raise it the next time, maybe we can figure out a quick vibe-check or something without a full-blown vote that would reduce agility, but... I'm already debating w/ a friend on whether it's really effective to contact your MEPs instead of just the DMA team's e-mail address (and that alone potentially jeopardizing the purpose of a letter - which might or might not be besides the point), let alone given the scale of 1300+ people and 30 day turnover times.

@kpcyrd@chaos.social @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems Although I do not wish to comment on the disclosure, your claim that the maintainers (or rather contributors) are NLnet-funded i) in general and as a whole, ii) continuously (implied) and proportionally to (even a tenth of) the time invested and iii) in the cases where this is true, therefore responsible ("part of their job description") for or worthy (implied)... it's a rationalization built on wrongness. Even if you limit it to some that try their best, the whole team is sad.
