Happy Mothestr Day ๐ฅณโค๏ธ
That was my first thought as well when I read their name ๐๐ค
My response to the dystopic request from ProLitteris ๐
Switzerland is the result of the careful blending of capitalism and communism, i.e. a bureaucratic, corpocratic kakistocracy.
In Switzerland companies are **allowed** to *internally* use text and images from newspapers, books and websites. But in return there exists ProLitteris, a non-government government organisation, that forcefully collects data from swiss companies and sends them obligatory bills.
Instead of the filled-out form, I will send ProLitteris an invoice for my open source projects, which ProLitteris is **allowed** to use.
Seeing how so very few oss projects move away from Github to Gitea, Forgejo and the likes, I wonder what would make them move to ~Gitstr~?
The thing that keeps projects on Github is the same thing that keeps normies on Twitter and Facebook, the network effect and discoverability.
Not hosting the code on Github comes with a huge disadvantage that almost nobody wants to pay.
I mean I see it myself with my projects on Codeberg: almost nobody cares, no issues, no prs, no interactions. People could log in with their Github account, but they don't even try to.
Another psychological thing is that contributors wanna show off their work on their Github profiles "Contribution activity" feed. It's a popularity contest after all and the contributions count is a social score, important for finding future jobs.
TLDR. Most people will not move away from Github, when ~Gitstr~ becomes a real thing, instead they will move away when Microsoft immensely fucks it up, when popular oss devs move away and when the hacks wanna follow the group to the next grass fields. But surely they will not move to ~Gitstr~, they will move to ~Bluesky Code Hub~ ๐
They have a version that supports many crypto currencies, except Monero.

The system is based on subversion. Votings are binding, but everything is a question of definition and the meaning of language. If media matrix (mass media) tells the citizen that everything is fine, then everything is fine, even if the house is burning.
Quick example how they ignore the votings:
Majority votes against vanilla icecream.
Politicians interpret it as: Majority is against plain vanilla icecream, it wants vanilla icecream with chocolate bits.
Do the swiss people have the last word though ๐ค?
Majority voted against:
- Fedpol
- Sommer-/wintertime
- Mass immigration
- Electronic identification (E-Id)
All of these votes where ignored. Well atleast regarding the E-Id we have a second chance to say No. But the technocrats just repeat the game until they win ๐คทโโ๏ธ.
Article about the phone examinations, if you are interested ๐:
Its a running gag of mine, to build a rocket either as an escape vehicle, or to shoot the technocrats to the moon ๐
Still collecting donations for my rocket to the moon project ๐
Yupp, they surely gonna start using it now for all events, and after a while will conclude "it works, we can let it stay". Meanwhile the town has already been peppered with video surveillance cameras before of these new ones.
Also in 2023 they literally planned to give police the legimitation to examine your phone whenever they want, which luckily didn't came through for the time being ๐ฌ.
Good one, I hope it was written by a human ๐
We currently have a "Streetfood Festival" in my town. Perfect occasion for the technocrats to test out their KI-powered surveillance tower ๐คฎ. This isn't a picture from China, this is happening in #Switzerland...
Its completely self-hostable, but I didn't have the time yet, to extract it into an isolated npm package ๐.
