You can add the even-cooler-stuff as another remote repo(like origin) and grab those changes and branch off of one of is branches then you can make pull requests to even cooler stuff from those branches.
I'm pretty confident the reason GitHub isn't allowing you to fork the even-cooler-stuff repo is that technically they are the same repo... And multiple remotes should do the trick.
It astounds me that people literally don't get how federation works. The whole fucking point of federation is that we can defederate from instances that have garbage in them.
This isn't censorship.
People are free to go be human garbage in their own instance, and I am glad that we can throw out the trash.
How does everyone miss the part that hexbear is intending to build bots that mass vote and troll other instances and their communities by exploiting the way federation works?
What the duck is wrong with people. They explicitly said they were building a bot network that couldn't be blocked except through defederation... I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
Don't make bots to break other instances and destroy their communities. Problem solved. You won't get banned or defederated.
Edit: my source is the announcement post. Half of the linked comments for justification were about brigading and bots.
Edit2: it looks like most of the hexbear comments about brigading and bot building were deleted or made private. I don't have the energy to go through their modlog.
What discourse? A bunch of people spewing debunked myths that align with their personal beliefs yelling at a bunch of people with thought out positions based on research?
It obviously isn't true that people motivated by money build inferior products... There may be a loophole here where you can claim that the absolute best of a category might be built by an individual driven only by the desire to create, but I feel like that is a shitty argument. I would argue that the vast majority of quality products are only produced by those who seek monetary compensation.
Most schools that require Matlab in the US provide it for free to their students via their student license servers... It's practically free for the university if they have any sort of research program at all.
Although, this might have changed... During my time a rotating student license only cost the university like 15 bucks and the university only needed enough for one class at a time usually.
Lol. That's a good argument but I didn't say paragraph doesn't denote more than visual information. I said that it unequivocally denotes visual information.
I mark them as hate speech when I see them then block their poster. They are basically the mission version of "hegetsus" garbage. (Which I also mark as hate speech)
The right wing part of the united states has always been a shitfest. In the 60s they lynched black people because they wanted equal treatment. In the 30s they killed women when they got the right to vote. Before then they rebelled against the US and killed millions of Americans to try to keep slavery. Before then they burned women as witches... Basically they have been garbage humans forever.
I think that the argument here lies in where people draw the line on what is considered valid formatting and "too much".
I think, that since html has paragraph hints, there is little difference in also describing what paragraphs should look like. Which slippery-slopes our way to entire applications. If html is more than just a data format, but also a visual formatting language (paragraphs are visual formatting hints, don't try to argue otherwise) then additional visual formatting rules is the natural progression. The vast, vast, vast majority of people view html as a markup language for describing the visual layout of information. HTMLs creation is basically a declarative method by which visual representation of data can be made, while also including the data to be displayed.
I personally have been developing HTML since 93/94 and JavaScript since 96. Not once during the early years did anyone ever say "HTML" isn't a visual markup language. If you wanted a data markup language you used something else. XML was developed specifically for that purpose... To define the data markup without the visual aspect of it because HTML was for visual representation.
I get it. You are nostalgic for a bygone era... Or you don't like developing with JS... Or css is just too hard for you to understand. I get it. HTML was a dev language, that made dev quality UI and barely would scrape the grey box standards of today... And then designers got involved and things got hard.
