> To preserve the community aspect of Gitea we are experimenting with creating a decentralized autonomous organization where contributors would receive benefits based on their participation such as from code, documentation, translations, and perhaps even assisting individual community members with support questions.

This is a DAO where you earn scrip through a gamified version of FOSS development. This has nothing to do with "community" (which is a word I'm pretty sick of hearing coming from the mouths of software devs and tech companies).

literally shut the fuck up

Yeah that's definitely what it was. I'm no westerner, so I know what this looks like and what local fascists interpret it as. Tell your stories to someone else.

Also, quoting your link:

"According to the Alma-Ata police, on the morning of January 6, dozens of rioters were killed during the storming of administrative buildings in the city and its environs."

"Our belief in the power of personalities and ideas may blind us to fundamental truths: after all, every year, another penniless revolutionary pens a new version of Das Kapital or a new version of Mein Kampf."

I won't bother with the bullshit of anybody who compares Das Kapital and Mein Kampf like this, grow a fucking brain. And conscience.

The people you list aren't white enough for westerners to care. That's what it is, that's all there is to it.

Ban.

I suggest you go to a non-techie relative or friend and ask them permission to use their facebook for a moment.

This is literally the same nonsense your average HNer type says in reply to anything, so I won't bother explaining you shit, but if markets worked to fix things the world wouldn't have turned into shit after neo-liberalism.

So yeah if my barbershop is playing loud music I ask them to turn it down please, and if barber queues are too long, maybe it's time for barbers to be nationalised because the private sector is failing to keep up, no?

> No wonder why normal people like walled gardens, the UI is more streamlined and (mostly) more respectful.

Have you seen someone use Facebook as of recent? Respectful?

The replies to this are so funny :D "It's illegal! Immoral! Assassination! Theft! Murder! Felony! To the gallows!"

Yeah, no.

So it's legal, moral, and acceptable that software and websites are made, by you folk reading this here website no less, to consume orders of magnitude more resources than they need to, just so that web companies---you folk, remember---can make some stats go up and turn them into money. It's okay to make the web less accessible to poor people, disabled people, people in places with bad internet connection, perfectly functional devices which have only become unusable because of this whole bullshit &c, it's okay to mine shitcoins in people's browsers, to sell their life for profits, it's okay to literally get into their private life and play loud videos in there if they don't know how to make that stop, but it's immoral, illegal, unacceptable to retaliate? Immoral and triggering for you lot for folk to just jokingly entertain such idea?

This whole business is basically turning wasted money and energy into dollars, not really different than blockchain bullshit essentially.

Imagine the resources wasted to produce and consume this nonsense went to making computers user friendly, programmable and accessible. Like, why should my browser occupy ~6G of memory for ~50 pages which could all be just pure HTML and a couple PDFs? Why should I need 6G of memory when 1 or 2GB must do? Why tf a computer with 1GHz or 666MHz CPU can't handle the web, ie a bunch of text documents? This whole bubble is creating immense amount of waste, and it's nonsensical to just limit your thinking to "oh, some annoying websites, just run uBlock". IMHO comes from the same place with "if car-dominated cities bother you and you feel unsafe, just get a car, or better, an SUV". What about fixing the city? What about climate and pollution?.

> I don't understand why houses should be excluded from the capitalistic process

Because it sucks and nothing should be included in it.
