Has anyone made a cross-forge notification manager yet? Like @andrewnez's Octobox, but for GitHub, many GitLabs, many Forgejos, all at once? Because my coding activity is starting to... decentralize. And I'm not sure I want to just go back to email notifications.
Excited to announce that @fedipub (formerly known as Federails), the Rails engine for #ActivityPub that powers (amongst other things) @manyfold, has been awarded a grant in the latest round from @NGIZero. I’ll be building community, docs, rounding out features, and ideally making it usable in non-Rails Ruby apps too!

@silverpill apparently so!

@silverpill ooh, thank you for using the new Fedipub name!

@liaizon I wondered *exactly* that a little bit earlier.

This is actually happening; we're building a community to execute a bigotry-free #Rails fork (29 people and increasing at time of writing). Come join us, we need your help and expertise.
James Smith 💾@Floppy@mastodon.me.ukI am ashamed of the fact that I’m stuck on #Rails because of the sunk costs of what I’ve already built, as are *so many* other project like Mastodon.
We cannot “just move”, the cost is enormous.
The Rails core team seem utterly compromised and under his spell. Nobody will speak out.
We need a hard #RailsFork. Now. And we need to coordinate to do it together and build a team.
I’m in. Who else?

@andrewnez @concretedog I was literally just searching to find if they had, or if they were technically respecting the licenses!

Note that the opt-out mentions username; it also means organisation name, so make sure to opt out those too. And you can replace the list with “- all” to ask for everything under that name to be removed. 3316 requests so far, let’s get that number up.
Ludicrous that we should need to do this.
concretedog@concretedog@mastodon.socialThis is nuts. #huggingface have just scraped the entirety of #github. https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceCode/in-the-stack

@andrewnez fair enough... I feel like I'd turn up with at least *some* code, not just ask nicely then disappear for a week.
(I should probably go check my GitHub history for all the instances where I did exactly that...)
Users asking to have GitHub issues assigned to them in order to then do their contribution appears to me to be a solid indicator of LLM behaviour.
Like, when did a human ever ask "is it OK if I write this code" beforehands?

DHH has now gone even more full “send ‘em back where they came from” along with “stop trying to fix climate change” and “AI hypercapitalism yay”
I cannot express enough, FUCK THIS WHITE NATIONALIST ARSEHOLE, and anyone not wanting to cut the #Ruby and #Rails communities ties with him should be *fucking ashamed of themselves*.
