       1/It used to be common for people to copy one, or more, or even all the files from another (FTP, HTTP, or whatever) site, and share it with others.The original site even considered this helpful!These copy-and-share sites were called — mirrors.

       1/I kind of get the feeling that people are trying to refactor the web, in a sense.And that there are at least 2 different visions for the future of the Web.Some seem to want the Web to go back to being about (relatively “dumb”) hypertext document format.Others seem to want the Web to be about a (relatively “smart”) cross-platform application platform.(There are other visions for the future of the Web too.)

       1/For a long time, the de facto ‘text’ data format included the Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) control sequences.In practice, SGR control sequences were as much ‘text’ as the carriage-return, form-feed, horizontal-tab, line-feed, vertical-tab control codes are ‘text’.SGR control sequences gave us things such as — bold, color, italics, overlining, underlining,  etc.#ComputerTerminal #SelectGraphicRendition #SGR #Text

       I have seen the @Codeberg people say they don't want to be the only code-forge.I.e., they don't wan to replace GitHub. They want there to be many code-forges out there, including them.I agree with this goal.But — I think until we (at least) have federated pull-requests, this is less likely to happen.And, I do know that there is an effort to add ActivityPub support to Forgejo, Gitea, and others.https://forgefed.orgI think ForgeFed is important for this goal#ActivityPub #Codeberg
