Dear ActivityPub + Github + Matrix users : do you have any ideas on how we could bridge these three tools ? Bouncing the following tools https://forum.fedeproxy.eu/t/matrix-bridges-ecosystem-tools-vs-activitypub/106 in the context of FedeProxy (forge activitypub interoperability)
github + matrix bridge + kazarma + activitypub client (mastodon for example) = what usage ? following issues ?
Boosts appreciated.
@arthurlutz Microsoft will never accept so, for Github, it's over. Why not working with Gitlab and Gitea to add federation, instead?
@ffeth @arthurlutz ? I don't understand. What's the relationship with Linux?
@bortzmeyer Some time ago, a Microsoft executive said that Linux was not on the radar.
And all of a sudden, Microsoft makes money with linux on azure.
I mean: somehow they changed their mind.
Perhaps they can change their mind about being evil, being a bad citizen/netizen, and federate?
@ffeth @arthurlutz @bortzmeyer I *highly* doubt MS embraced FOSS, GNU, Linux, etc. to be less evil. No fucking way. MS has made the calculation that it /cannot/ ruin Linux, so “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” is purely a business move to at least get a piece of the linux action in this case. Perhaps MS is thinking “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em -- THEN beat ’em”.
@koherecoWatchdog And they're throwing quite a lot of money in thwarting opensource :
Look how MS+affiliates like LinkedIn is securing a majority of Python Core devs.
And yet not fixing themselves the bugs specific to their windows-playschool-platform.
@ffeth @bortzmeyer @arthurlutz “windows-playschool-platform” is a good way to describe it.
@bortzmeyer I'm asking with github as an example, but obviously gitlab & gitea are in the target forges for fedeproxy & forgefed. The two approaches (core implementation & implementing a bridge) are being explored I believe. The bridge approach is more pragmatic for proprietary solutions such as github. See the forum for more info about all this.
@bortzmeyer @arthurlutz It’s very important to distinguish the Gitlab.com service from #Gitlab software when simply suggesting “Gitlab”. The gitlab.com repo is more evil than #Github (see https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/gitlab-dot-com.md) And I suspect from context you were indeed recommending the gitlab.com instance not self-hosting. /cc @dragnucs
@koherecoWatchdog @arthurlutz @dragnucs No. When I say Gitlab, it is Gitlab. When I mention the instance, I say gitlab.com.
It's already in works
@bortzmeyer Why?
I did not expect linux to be on Microsoft's radar, back in the days.
