while #GNU and the #FSF certainly has given us many useful things the overall strategy has kind of failed. just look at https://savannah.gnu.org for example. it all just doesn't gain enough traction to really make a difference. nobody uses the GNU OS. is there even any piece of recent GNU software that is filling more than just a niche?
@steckerhalter Tbh gnuOS isn't in big dev because linux is here and good enough.
Is savannah that bad ?
@steckerhalter I just checked.
Lmao it's terrible seriously.
@marsxyz @steckerhalter I still keep a mirror of one of my projects, there. The main problem back then was that it was so hard to create new projects without sending mails and waiting for a while. The web design is old school and services are bare bones but at least you can be confident that they will still be around in a few years.
@marsxyz it's probably not bad but who would want to use that compared to #gitlab or even #gitea?
