I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but there absolutely _needs_ to be a federated version of GitHub/GitLab.

Let me host my projects' critical infrastructure (issue tracker, PRs, private repos etc) on my own servers, while also being able to interact and socialize with the rest of the open source world.

I'll keep saying this until someone builds it - I would do it myself if I had enough time on my hands right now.

"I don't believe our species can survive unless we fix this (social media). We can not have a society, in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen is, if it's financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them."

Response: "we were clear who was behind it and no need to discuss this anymore"

Yeah, NSA was behind this. NSA lost cabin pressure. NSA made everyone way more insecure.

Ich finde das echt hart schwierig mit den Leuten, die hier verlangen oder befürworten, Politik zu filtern.
Ich kann verstehen, dass das triggern kann, aber der Grund dafür, dass wir in dieser angespannten internationalen Situation leben ist doch gerade, dass sich nicht genug Leute mit Politik (also wie wir zusammenleben) beschäftigen.

This is a Micro Switch 1A3S Honeywell Hall Effect key switch. These are probably the most reliable key switches ever created, rated for 30 billion+ actuations (if you press the key once every second, it would take about a millennium to wear the switch out).

Ich glaube, ich lasse Mastodon dann mal wieder bleiben und schaue vielleicht in 1-2 Jahren wieder rein. Dass die Gesprächskultur hier eine bessere sei, ist jedenfalls eine Lebenslüge.

@aurora I think @astro s point was more about sharing the ideals, and named the CCC as pars pro toto, since the CCC in fact contains a lot of the German hackerspaces as members. There are some (growing number of) independent hackerspaces, but they mostly share the same core ideals too. On the other hand, as you said, self-described FabLabs and Makerspace IMHO are far more commercialised in Germany than self-described hackerspaces.
