npub1up2udq5tudvx92g7j3839538t45tffpd86gj97tc0tu3fefhcz9q2vpf56 (npub1up2…pf56) I won't quote half the message to reply to the part of Husky vs. browsers, but I get it. You're not the first person to mention this issue regarding a native client vs. the front-end the website gives to you, and it's a fair criticism.
> But, even if I use software hosted in Github, it really bothers me to validate M$ model. I think that generating dependency on a big corp for all our free software is a very bad strategy on the long run.
SourceHut is also a corporation nowadays, not a site run freely (you have to pay to have your account there, although exceptions are made). Even with the values of SourceHut, generating dependency on a corporation (small or big) is bad. Yet a ton of people prefer srht model over GitHub.
M$ model wasn't made by M$. GitHub already had that model when the company was run by two guys, way before M$ bought it. It change owners and the model is the same as before.
> I think that free software is a required tool to construct a fair world. If is not useful for the last, I am not that interested on it.
Hosting the code at GitHub doesn't make the software less useful. It just make it being hosted on another place. Same as those who prefer to host it on GitLab, or their own Forgejo instance.
> I have to say that inclusive language (at many levels) is important to me, and it is related to what I was saying before. If technical language has elements that are hostile for fraction of potential developers that are already under-represented in the field (and I can get why master-slave relation terminology is hostile), we should try to avoid them.
I stand by my words that I don't need to change my view on anything just because some people get triggered by computing terminology (not referred in any way whatsoever to people, thus not having any connotations in the computing world). If people feel triggered by a relation between words... I think the problem is not ours, to be honest.
And underrepresented... Nowadays... Very vague, to be honest. If this were the 90s, maybe, but not today.
