git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.

GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.

ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.

Is forgejo federated yet?

The way people turned up their nose at the Fediverse when the Muskening happened to Twitter was heartbreaking. I knew social media was an addiction but when you find out your dealer is an absolute monster how do you not go looking for a new supplier?

But they all discarded Mastodon et al as cringe and teduoust. Like, the way even trans women influencers stayed on Twitter blew my mind. When bluesky got off the ground there was finally some migration, but not enough.

It really showed me how many of the “anti-capitalist” and the “anarchism” and “mutual aid” people were all just talk. The mutual-aid volunteer-based platform exists and you stuck with the fascist because it was easy and you’re too cool for the nerd shit.

I mean he’s literally a boomer.

But they make it up on volume!

Well, also sounds like Uberization: “The laws for X are annoying, so we’ll do Y that’s basically the same as X but dumber because there’s no regulation on Y”.

If it were a train it would have more room for evacuation because a train could run a half-inch from the non-door wall. Tesla model 3 is about 1.85M wide sans mirrors. The Vegas tunnels are about 3.6M wide at the widest, but that’s not useful because of road… eyeball it and say it’s about 2.5M wide. Put the car on rails so it’s at the leftmost edge of that road (no need for wiggle room where it gonna go?) and you’ve got 0.65M of emergency walkway on the right hand side, which is almost spec for an EU emergency walkway. Lift the walkway up a bit higher off the level of the road/rail so it’s level to the doors and you’re at a wider spot of the tube, and then you’ve got your emergency walkway.

A train also drives the risk of fire way down, since you don’t have a big scary Tesla battery down there anymore. I mean you’d still have a 3rd rail or a catenary cable or whatever and that’s not nothing but that’s not the Greek Fire of a modern lithium battery.

If there was an actual reason that narrow-gauge tunnels were cheap for some use-cases, you could probably make a pretty cool vehicle for them.

But yeah, this is all academic, since the point was to use Teslas.

What bugs me is that there’s probably some kind of rail-based system you could design that’s actually reasonable for narrow-bore tunnels like that. Something physically more like a train of passenger-vans or a roller-coaster than a proper subway or LRT. But instead they made this nonsense?

I wonder if Android Wear wouldn’t work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can’t decide if it’s stand-alone or companion to your phone.

Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that… is it the lack of Play Store that’s the dealbreaker?

Honestly, as somebody who really loved the early era of Android gaming, I’m really disappointed how ephemeral it all was between the Play Store delistings and the absolutely atrocious approach to backwards compatibility in the Android OS.
