  • Why wouldn't they, it doesn't seen like anyone is facing consequences for it.

  • News headlines are usually worded in a way that's accessible to most people, and then the article can go into detail about the topic. The other commenter said nothing about how products should or shouldn't be named. By "the wrong thing", they likely meant "things that the average person can recognize, but is not the best way to introduce the topic".

    People who haven't heard of Forgejo will scroll past a headline that says "The German government has started a Forgejo instance", even if they were interested in the topic. They could have also said "code repository", but it's not as eye catching as "GitHub", a name and logo that a lot of people have seen before.

    Also GitHub is the incumbent that is being replaced, and is relevant to the discussion

  • Mine clearing robots are neat, but strapping a gun to one seems problematic 🫤

  • The eyes are closed as if to say resignedly

    "Goodbye cruel fluffy world."

  • The earliest known reference to a vending machine is in the work of Hero of Alexandria, an engineer and mathematician in first-century Roman Egypt. His machine accepted a coin and then dispensed wine2 or holy water.3 When the coin was deposited, it fell upon a pan attached to a lever. The lever opened a valve which let some wine flow out. The pan continued to tilt with the weight of the coin until it fell off, at which point a counterweight snapped the lever up and turned off the valve.

    Neat

  • No problem! I can confirm that we received a verification from a University of Toronto email address.

  • That comment is helping potential users vet your project before they use it, since not everyone has the motivation to go into the repo and take a look

  • I'm seeing some reports on this post from people who are suspicious about its legitimacy. It looks to be the same format as other Canadian university studies I've seen, and the fediverse is the right place to find people for such a study. To me it looks legitimate.

    Maybe I can do a verification from the admin side? If you can send us an email from your institution account to support@lemmy.ca, I can leave a comment confirming that you are indeed from UofT.

  • Did they also promote the attribution removal?

  • Why don't you just implement federation normally instead of taking this roundabout way of doing things? As long as your site contributes content back, and makes it clear where content is from, other projects like piefed and lemmy would be happy to have your project join the network.

    Continuing like this will likely get you IP blocked from wherever you're mirroring content from.

    Also these platforms are open source. You are allowed to copy and modify things for your own projects, as long as you follow the basic rules in the license.

  • Similar to what other comments have said, we created this page to go over the basic analogy to email and phone numbers:

    For the people who are really unfamiliar with tech, I research an instance for them and make a recommendation. All they need to do is make an account as they usually do.
