What's your favorite open alternative to GitHub?
Organization level giitea instances
Has been one of my favorites thus far! Looking forward to trying out some of the Nostr git tools, I think this will help, so that creating accounts for each Gitea isn't necessary and can facilitate better collab.
Yes
Is anyone using the nostr got tools?
Back in the day, I was shocked to find Nostr work happening on telegram, so exited all those groups.
If ya can't dogfood it, then there are bigger problems for nostr

Thanks for introducting me to the name Bassel Khartabil. A quick skim of his Wikipedia page gives me the impression he was the Aaron Schwartz of Syria. But Bassel was murdered directly by the government of his country, rather than psy-opped into doing it for them, as Aaron was. In both cases, a tragic loss.
Yes Aaron was cool. Both were Creative Commons connected. I worked most w Aaron though on openlibrary.org
You think MIT wipp ever do justice to Aaron or will they just coopt his name eventually and act like that makes it all better?
I knew of Aaron's CC connections, but as I say, I never had the pleasure and sadness of learning about Bassel until seeing your post.
In my experience, modern institutions don't admit their mistakes. But if Aaron's dream (and mine) of wresting control of scholarship away from corporatists and their professional-managerial lackeys is ever successful, then we might finally get justice for his memory.
amazing
btw there is not much issue w access outside of usa, particularly china thanks to scihub :)
True that. I recently discovered this project;
In many ways we are winning. But the scholars are still labouring in the academic sweatshops, and that too needs to change.
Good point
