  • I had somewhat hoped that my fellow countrymen in Germany would not fall for the obtuse populism of the right, but that is exactly what has happened.

    Maybe if you (in the generic sense) stop to say that the people who vote for a certain party is (basically) stupid, we all can start to solve problems. The people who voted AfD, like the people who voted for the Right in every other country, are simply saying that they have (or they think to have) a set of problems. Are they real problems ? Maybe, maybe not. But not even acknowledge what these people are saying cannot end in nothing different.

    I’m afraid there’s nothing left to counter this, because voters obviously no longer care about rational arguments and don’t even want to acknowledge the real problems of our time.

    Voters don’t care for rational arguments because the Left throw them out o the window.

    Speaking for Italy, the right wing is in government exactly because the Left wing tried way too hard to lose. If the only thing the Left wing can offer is a multi-gender (whatever it means) leader who dont’ even speak about what the people’s problems are (or, again, what the people perceive as a problem) why someone should vote for them ? Rationally, why I should vote for a person that don’t even talk about what I see as a problem instead of a person that at least talk about it ?

    And I think that in Germany it is the same thing, even if for different reasons.

    They make it easy for themselves and just blame everything on illegal migration or whatever - just as the right-wingers tell them to do.

    Yeah, and the problem is that when the right wing say “the illegal migration is a problem” and people say “the illegal immigration is a problem” the only thing the left wing say is “we need to get more illegal migration”. See how the left wing is basically let the right wing win and on easy mode ?






  • Sounds like you like Codeberg, though. Just out of curiosity, what sold you on Codeberg?

    Basically the fact that they are in Europe and for now they are free (even if I am planning to contribute some euros) and without all the “every site need to be a social network” facade (like Github).
    All the features I need are present and I were not using the missing one anyway (like the CI). And I like to support an EU company ;-)

    Additionally it is a couple of years that I am trying to move away from US companies for every service I use, the move from Gitlab to Codeberg is the last one and came natural.






  • Do I really need to explain to you what the hypocrisy there is? Rules for thee but not for me.

    If they are busy they shouldn’t say anything, let other people contribute something actually useful to the issue at hand.

    So people can come up with “the maintainer do not answer to the community” drama ?


  • I don’t care that much about those examples, what I really care about is them not following what I consider to be some important principles when it comes to open source projects.

    Did you realize that nobody is stopping you from forking any opensource project you want and then to follow whatever rules you want, right ?
