@witchfynder_finder no but they might find it sexy watching you take it off

@witchfynder_finder also the reason why they are sexy as fuck

@witchfynder_finder nobody likes that one

@witchfynder_finder also there is ecphoneme but that’s probably worse

@witchfynder_finder programmers and typographers have shorter names but they all have other, more common meanings so nobody uses them in real life

@CobaltVelvet@octodon.social @noyovo@rage.love i don't think that's quite accurate; GitLab specifically advertises itself as a DevOps platform and has a large featureset specifically targeting DevOps that GitHub doesn't have; obviously they're both git repository solutions so there's a fair amount of overlap but GitHub is targeted at getting lots of people contributing to open source quickly (it is easy to get started with and use) whereas GitLab is targeted more at enterprise or professional use (much more complex and intimidating but also in many ways more powerful).

i can't speak for codeberg but the remaining platforms are primarily targeting self-hosting; you CAN self-host gitlab but it is unwieldy and difficult to do so just for personal use, whereas something like Gitea is very easy to get set up. correspondingly these platforms tend to be fairly simple with somewhat limited featuresets.

@aescling my girlfriend doesn't put commas in years or do you hate her for a different reason

@aescling you can't spell hatesex without hate

@noelle it is late stage capitalism because the people who make things (the proletariat) can no longer afford a living, which is an unsustainable set of affairs for capitalism, which depends on the proletariat for its labour

in the past, capitalism has responded to this situation as follows:

- by inventing credit. this is really only a delaying strategy when the people who take out loans can't ever pay them back.

- by moving production to places with lower cost of living. they have run out of such places.

- by automating things. we are here, but even machinery needs to be maintained (and reducing the size of the workforce also reduces the dependency of people on capitalism (and increases their dependency on socialism) so this may not be viable).

- by finding a means of extracting value from people OTHER than asking them to pay prices they can't afford; for example, through ads or metrics. we are also here, but this can only go so far.
