Being a DIYer is a good way to boycott stuff. Scumbag mechanic trying to screw you on the oil change? DIY. Scumbag cloud company, trying to hold your data hostage? DIY, self host or write your own!

Obviously it doesn't work with everything, but for certain things it works really well.

It's really hard to boycott when you've been de-skilled and depend on a service.

If all my friends, family, and coworkers could get off WhatsApp, I would be so happy.

Eh, names may sound stupid at first, but after saying it a million times it'll start to sound normal. "Google" sounded stupid and silly when they just first started, but now it sounds formal and makes you think of dystopia and dread.

Voyager definitely has filtering.

Gah. This hits hard. Too often I feel like a guest in my own damn country.

Create a new repo locally.

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

Then to create a new remote repo, you can do this.

git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~user/my-new-repo
git push origin main

You'll get a message that says.

remote: 
remote:         NOTICE
remote: 
remote:         You have pushed to a repository which did not exist. ~user/my-new-repo
remote:         has been created automatically. You can re-configure or delete this
remote:         repository at the following URL:

Also, a shame you can't filter on image text.

Thanks! Just added those to my block list!

I wish Voyager could filter posts based on image text as well...

Interesting! I didn't realize this! https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html

only the copyright holder or someone having assignment of the copyright can enforce the license. If there are multiple authors of a copyrighted work, successful enforcement depends on having the cooperation of all authors.

So it seems like the FSF does this in order to be able to enforce GPL. Buuut, these guys really gotta be the exception. I feel like the probability of the FSF selling out and going full corporate evil is pretty low...

a good idea to have a CLA so that’s no conflict that the project owns the code.

That's exactly the problem though. The project owning the code, instead of the contributors owning the code.
