    I have never in my (nearly) 20 years of being a software developer and general tech geek and (nearly) 10 years of exclusive linux desktop use, ever distinguished between the terms “folder” and “directory”, nor encountered anyone who did either.

    OP is just being weird.

    If you can’t be bothered to spend 1 minute to create an account, then you probably can’t be bothered to create an actionable bug report or a merge-able PR.

    I’m not against federation in general, but gitlab isn’t twitter or reddit. It’s a utility for doing work, and I don’t see how it will do anything but grow the mountain of bloat on which gitlab is sitting.

    Kind of lame that they’re wasting time on gimmicky features like this rather than stuff people have been asking for (like Conan registry support)

    I self host Gitlab because I want to be in control of my private repos. If I wanted to release open source projects and collaborate with people, I would use the SaaS version. Public instances that encourage contributions like Gnome have open registration, but activating federation seems like it would just add a new layer of moderation headaches for very little real benefit.

    Am I missing something? Besides marketing for Gitlab, what real benefits could this bring to users?

    If we don’t hold corporations accountable for these types of things, they’ll be more likely to go along with it next time. All of the corporations that helped the Nazis should have been dissolved, had their assets liquidated, and used to pay reparations.

    4 years isn’t enough to hate javascript. Either those 4 years are entirely in JS, in which case it’s all you know and thus you lack perspective. OR, you spent e.g. 2 years with a different language and only 2 in JS, in which case you don’t have enough experience with JS to have an informed opinion.

    Don’t worry though, we all started our JS hating journey like that. Give it a few more years and I promise you’ll be able to hate javascript like the masters.
