… or you could pay approx $2.70 / month for real Debrid. Replace jellyfin with stremio + torrentio and your family can immediately stream whatever shows they want w/o asking you and without needing to wait for the torrent to download.

But the nice thing about email is it’s decentralized, and everyone already has it.

That is true, but in the case of email as an issue tracker: only the people who have received it will know of its existence (unless it’s mirrored on public facing websites - like Debian does with their issue tracking).

The thing we’d lose is the “ease of access”. Tbh, I’d see Usenet being a better distribution medium than email for OSS apps… but I really appreciate the intention behind solutions like git-issues: move the issue tracking into the same tools used to track code changes. It, in my opinion, is more in line with K. I. S. S.

You make a valid point regarding losing important contextual information like PR and open bugs.

However, I don’t think email offers the same level of visibility as we currently have with github workflows.

There is an creative Git based issue tracker, I used called git-issue. Basically, the entire bug/issue/pr process is captured as yaml (I think) files, which are kept in a dedicated branch.

When I used it (as I wanted a self-hosted bug tracker), I found it functional but a bit cumbersome. However, I could see someone creating a very nice github like web interface for it.

I’d say, let’s wait for a catastrophic event at github before we jump ship.

Git , by its nature, is distributed. If, worse case, github.com went down (without warning). Life would move on, people will have local checkouts of the “important/popular” repos that would be pushed “somewhere else”.

Yeah, github actions wouldn’t work, build that pull from github repos would need to be refactored, but life would move on.

STOP! You’re scaring the children!

I found both Connect and Thunder to have the “baconreader feel”. However, thunder’s performance is significantly faster than Connect.

I use Connect to view a thread… and would see the loading icon (for a second or so), but with thunder I click on a thread and it’s just there.

Probably because Reddit never really liked “non-adversing friendly” subs. Reddit tolerated them, because it did drive users to the platform. However, there was a fine line between “acceptable piracy” talk vs the ban hammer.

On Lemmy, we have admins who aren’t fixated on “the users are the product” and advertisers… So, we can let our guard down and have meaningful discussions.

Welcome to the fediverse!

I tried handful of apps and Thunder gives me that baconreader feel (a lot of content compress on a single screen)… and it amazingly snappy.
