😮 #Meetup dot com just announced a 66% price increase ( 60 usd / 6 months -> 100 usd / 6 months) for meetup organizers!
But the email reassures us we'll get "AI-enhanced recommendations. To spark more lively participation in your communities, we’re refining our AI models to deliver personalized event and group recommendations."
Alternatives, anyone?

A #codebase without #tests is one you assume you’ll always be around to maintain/help explain entirely by yourself.
… and that your future self will still remember how to do so!
In today’s IT market and world if information overload, what are the chances of either happening??

What #Microsoft announced:
"Just as GitHub was founded on Git, today we are re-founded on Copilot."
What #Microsoft actually means:
"Just as we found a way to squeeze billions out of #OpenSource with a proprietary platform ( #GitHub) , today we are re-founded on another proprietary platform that keeps exploiting #FOSS "
Please remember that next time they claim how much they **value** open source! ;) ;)

@npub1upk…tcwy it's the peer-to-peer topology that all projects on @npub132x…xsfw have (because it's not a centralized forge) , so I'm a little biased... 🙃

@npub1upk…tcwy maybe a missing one is git's fully decentralized flow.
(i.e. no assumption of **one** main branch or central repo - just peers' individual views of the world ) ?

@npub1upk…tcwy the graph makes more sense to me when it’s rotated so that the order of commits moves to the right, which somehow implies passage of time (in my head).
(I do know the actual timestamps on the commit could be whatever, but a child commit still happened _after_ the parent one, since the parent must have existed).
