Git is so easy to host yourself and everyone went and handed over all their code to evil corp to farm on anyway.
(Though I do understand that they were bought, but that was a while ago and it was only a matter of time before the evil seeped in.)

I think you may be mixing up git, which is a command line tool that's still open source, AFAIK, with github that's a closed source, git-based code hosting platform bought by Microsoft.
You can use other hosting services with git, and get an almost identical experience. Gitlab does it, as well as many others.

I prefer reading my code out loud and saving it as a Audio file
That's ridiculous.
I write mine on paper in cursive so no one can use it anywhere
-
can’t you set codeberg repositories to private?
You can but it's for specific stuff, not real projects. Everything should be open source and public by default.
I would gladly pay them to host private projects.

No need for that. Have a local server. I don't use git, it's useless for what I'm doing, and Subversion is fine.

Subversion is always fine.

You don't need GitHub for Git.
wrote last edited by [email protected]And for those who don't know: git was there first, then github offered it for code management (they are two different things, don't confuse git with github!)

Gitlab, Gogs, Gitea... you can run all those locally.
aint that just
gittho? i upload my code on github as a backup and so others can see it? -

Yeah, but do you organize the audio files when you make changes?

Interesting post, but maybe better suited for a dev-focused community? Would love to keep this space more for random stuff.

Uuuh Mrs/Mr professional programmer and their fancy individual version folders!

the occasional software developer post counts as "random stuff", don't you think?

No. You can use got itself. https://jasonmurray.org/posts/2020/selfhostedgit/

wrote last edited by [email protected]True, but this kind of trend is why Fediverse platforms often stay programmer-heavy. Regular users join, see mostly dev talk even in general spaces, and bounce. I'm not really against posts like this, but I do wish Lemmy could grow its user base by keeping general spaces genuinely random.
Also, just being honest, it kind of sucks that my earlier comment got downvoted. I wasn’t trying to gatekeep, just sharing a harmless opinion about keeping the vibe more random and less tech-centered. Felt like I got shut down for it.
Reddit was like that too. Certain communities gradually became echo chambers just because one group dominated the tone. I'd hate to see Lemmy fall into the same pattern.
And just to follow the same logic—if dev memes count as “random” in lemmyshitpost, I guess I could post “what programming language should I use to build X?” in asklemmy, right? Feels inconsistent to label one as valid and the other as off-topic, depending on who posts it.

If it's easy why are the open source developer class using Microsoft so much ?

An audio diff file that explains through voice how to modify the previous code to be like the new code

"What programming language should I use to build X" does not belong in AskLemmy, because that's not the format of question that AskLemmy is for.
On the other hand, "What programming languages do you guys use" does belong in AskLemmy.

So basically, it’s not about the topic, but about how it’s framed? That kinda proves my point—tech stuff is allowed as long as it’s phrased vaguely or conversationally enough. Which is fine, but still makes the space biased toward people who are familiar with those contexts.
I’m not saying don’t allow them, I’m just pointing out that this flexibility doesn’t feel equally intuitive to non-tech people, which can unintentionally gatekeep.If niche stuff is going to live in general communities anyway, then what’s the point of having dedicated communities at all? Should we just post everything in the same place and hope the phrasing makes it acceptable?
