21·20 days agoThat is the opposite of what this thread is about.
1·1 month agoalso several places at which I’ve worked on business-internal software, including my current job
GitLab, I am not sure if their own installation hits all points (depends on what you define as “big tech involvement” maybe), but if you self-host it, certainly.

I’m not a voter in Denmark and not familiar with Danish politics; this kind of thing would certainly cause me to vote for a different party.
apparently nominally a member of a social-democratic party
When I was younger, I believed that social-democratic parties were better than conservative ones on matters of civil liberties. I stand corrected on that.
I notice there is no mention of a license, so this is not actually open source.
I think there is a fundamental division between services for following people and services for participating in groups.
You are right that some of it is a UI consideration, but not all of it.
Yeah I mean why would you let young people have fun or anything like that? If they are constantly bored, they will certainly be happier. Or something…
For example here is a Lemmy thread: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/41964952?scrollToComments=true
Here is the same thread on Mastodon: https://floss.social/@kde/114960515064007515
So it is possible if it has been federated to both. There are different reasons why that might happen, in this case it is because that thread’s OP posted it on Mastodon but mentioned a Lemmy community.
Another reason why it might happen is that a Mastodon user is following a Lemmy community or user.
I have brought this up before with my instance admins, that there were communities in the search results whose hosting instances were no longer up. They told me that there was no good way to do anything about this, the only thing they could do is defederate from those instances but that would delete old threads.
If an instance (= a topic group, e. g. “memes”,“World news” or “MapPorn” in the example picture) is moving from one server to another (= the name and/or ending changes), how to properly follow the move?
You find out about it the way you did, then follow the new one. I don’t think there’s a mechanism to do that automatically.
And what happens to the “old” instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep the following?
In this particular case, you can see in the sidebar that the community is locked, i.e. there will not be any new posts, i.e. there is no point in keeping the subscription. It also doesn’t hurt anything though.
and some games like SuperTuxKart are playable

(also, not a lot of people will see comments you post to a two-month-old thread)
If they are using someone else’s GPL code and adding requirements like that, then yes, that is infringement.
“openly licensed” material is still copyrighted though
Also: copying is not theft, stealing a thing leaves one less left, copying it makes one thing more, that’s what copying’s for… 🎶 🎵
Idk but if you’re just looking for the repo I think this is it: https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file
It would be possible to set up an instance where users could post as guests, ie everyone who did that would appear as the same user, something like anon@lemmychan.social.
It is also likely that such accounts would soon be banned in many places because people will use them to post unwanted posts and comments.
Notepad: Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Or if you like terminal windows: https://github.com/microsoft/edit
Paint: https://www.pinta-project.com/ seems to have Windows builds.
Calculator: https://qalculate.github.io/ is the best I know of.
