  • I think Github is a relatively simple issue. There isn’t really a shortage of european (or just selfhostable) alternatives, and the way git works means that most contributors have complete local copies of the codebase. TBH I worry more about the ability of american contributors to continue working on a project if the code is hosted in europe - basically a lot of open source developer teams could end up being split or shut down entirely. And the bigger projects like Linux and a lot of the intermediate layers between the Linux kernel and applications are majorly backed and developed by american companies and their employees.


  • It’s usually a good thing to diversify. What happens when one of you falls ill or just dies unexpectedly, or have a fight? It’s easier to find more friends right now than when you have literally no friends and just lost a parent. On top of that, any kind of emotional labor can get pretty exhausting for both people when it’s just the two of you.










  • It’s pretty easy to understand if you consider that black americans were brought into the country as slaves, wealth is generally inherited (even if just through socialization, connections etc. and not actual inheritance), and americans and the american state continue to be both racist and classist. Even if black people were treated as equals nowadays (which they are not), they would stay disadvantaged due to the US’s lack of social mobility.

    I always thought that a lot of singers in bands who write their own music and often play an instrument at the same time should focus more. Even in bands that write their own music, it’s not necessarily the singer who writes their lyrics, melodies and chords.

    “writing and composing” is a bit broad, anyway. Do you exclusively do covers of other people’s songs where you copy the original singer exactly? If so, cool, that’s pretty hard to do well! If not, you’re writing/composing/improvising vocal parts, and that’s a skill, too.
