@bkuhn, meaning of term not at all obvious by itself. fwiw, not even sure I understand it correctly just from reading your dent

Apry Richard Fontana

@fontana gitlab is v.good but not intended for open projects yet; will get there, keep an eye on releases and wait until they self host ;-)

Apry Simon Phipps

Well, if you linked to them from your identi.ca feed, I'm sure more ppl would be interested

Apry Simon Phipps

In a way, harshest critics of canonical may give them more credit than you do :)

Apry Simon Phipps

I think harshness of response can be explained (not justified) by expectation that FLOSS friends should know better

Apry Simon Phipps

Balance of UI experimentation vs harm to users (indiv. & as group) hard to justify; latter result of bad choices not technical necessities

Apry Simon Phipps

Sorry to read that. Balance (and fairness) on stance re: canonical as a community member is worthwhile

Apry Simon Phipps

there exist 2 aspects here: individualistic (privacy) & social (turning desktop search into related-ad channel). 2nd possibly worse

Apry Simon Phipps

even assuming originality (obviousness aside, there's also prior art), new does not necessarily imply better. Adding another point..

Apry Simon Phipps

@webmink, generic web search would probably be more useful to users anyway, can't see this benefiting anyone but canonical

Apry Simon Phipps

@webmink, is it really innovation in this case? Attempting to monetize one's position as mediator seems more like routine

Apry Simon Phipps

right, although not seeing how that's applicable in this instance; would appreciate being enlightened if you think it is

Apry Bradley M. Kuhn , Simon Phipps

not sure if that's what @webmink had in mind though ;)

Apry Bradley M. Kuhn , Simon Phipps , Mark Shuttleworth

@bkuhn, @webmink's article seems very relevant in that @sabdfl is part of dominant propr. sw culture and rants about being persecuted

Apry Evan Prodromou

@evan, cf federated == actual distribution of control (though still implies hierarchical structures as opposed to flat p2p)

Apry Evan Prodromou

@evan to my mind decentralized applies to architecture; a net can be decentralized but under control of single entity (as gtalk xmmp was)

Apry Richard Fontana

@fontana, doing very well then. your small self-contained commits are #git best practice

Apry Richard Fontana

@fontana, terribly sorry to have come off as elitist, code of conduct or not

Apry Richard Fontana

@fontana, assumed it was a conscious choice, my apologies. however, should take into account your current changes look opaque to outsiders

Apry Bradley M. Kuhn

@bkuhn, perhaps you should also mirror #GPL.next issues (easy to get via github api, it seems) to protect against #deletionism ;-)
