Haha, great reminder on how primitive the proprietary shills were back in the 90s, with their limited education, thinking that communism was a bad word anywhere else than their little corner of the universe

I am just afraid those who haven't been around back then will take your great satirical piece as a serious comment or at least bad trolling.

The bad thing about communism is that modern cultural marxist view everything as "opressors and the opressed", which leads them to think i am evil for being born as a straight white male. Despite having lived in poverty for most of my life. Worst thing is this is what is being taught nowadays in universities, to the point people started making petitions and the rise of the alt-right and terms like regressive left. To the point where a guy like me that has been left-leaning is considering to become a conservative athetistic christian just to protect myself.

Just realize every extreme has it's drawbacks. It's up to you to determine your own worldview, but just remember that any right you think you have that takes a right someone else thinks they have away is wrong.

You can GPG sign your commits and tags: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-T...ning-Your-Work

Thanks for the info. Well, that's good but how many GitHub users use that feature? Also, I think there should be an option in git, that it automatically signs every single commit - even if you forget the -S parameter.

Technically speaking, "right" or "wrong" is wholly arbitrary.

no, the FSF is really childish about their libreJS thing.

Well, it was just my opinion to a circumstance that was described is all. I know there are other worldviews out there.

Savannah has a few rough edges -- the look isn't consistent with other GNU sites and the search listing for the full list of all hosted projects includes projects with blank, unclickable names that might as well not exist, for example. It otherwise seems alright. I suspect the reason it isn't more popular is because people assume that anything hosted there *must* be under (L)GPL.

"Your license should be compatible with the GNU GPL, current version or later. (This includes LGPL*-only, since all LGPL versions can be converted to any version of the GPL. Of course, we strongly recommend against using LGPL*-only. And GPL*-only is not acceptable.)" -- http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/...ngRequirements

You can dual-license code, too. http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/DualLicensing covers that.

Editing the "Why Choose Savannah?" page (which is linked on the front page) to clarify which licenses are allowed might help, as would some advertised "Migrate from other hosting service" tools.

Indeed, I brought up a lot of these issues in that survey they did a while ago. They really ought to improve Savannah and make it seem accessible to more people.

we should not be using cdn from google or others to provide fonts, etc. because this way the provider (google) will know that the user has visited the site. Some might feel this insane.

LOL.

These forums really need a killfile.
