Everything's coding. When you buy a cookbook, you see the recipe, that's just an American word for coding. When you ask somebody how to do something, that's coding. When you codify a business process, that's coding. Everything's coding. If you want to do something, if you want to discover the best way of doing something, and then after that, repeat it over and over again without anybody deviating from that process or that methodology or that best-known process, however you guys. Right?
There's a lot of words about it. It's all coding. We code in a lot of different ways. We code to make omelets.
We code to repeatedly close our books and manage our supply chain. We code in order to communicate with each other in a consistent way. The connecting fabric, for example, the supply chain, is one giant large piece of code.
Not one code, but trillions of pieces of code.
Everything that we do is in fact coding. It's a sensible thing. It's also the easiest thing for Al to learn, and the reason for that is because there's a right answer. The best answer is hard to find, but the right answer is not hard to find. Coding is an important part of it. A derivative of coding is, of course, bug finding, and a derivative of that, which is a very large market, is called cybersecurity.

Yet there's no negatively about it from existing users in our chat rooms or forum where we discussed it before. It's only on this platform with endless cycles of irrational hate towards us. It's a lot more of the usual lies, misrepresentations, double standards and hypocrisy. It's unserious.

since graphene’s scrubbing posts I guess I have to screenshot what I’m subtooting now oh yeah I buried the lede too, nobody on fedi is a grapheneOS user because grapheneOS users don’t criticize the project. the only grapheneOS users are the people glazing the devs on their Discord and forums.
Codeberg also banned cryptocurrency which is our primary source of funding and is what we use to send money to nearly everyone on our team. A huge portion of our users are cryptocurrency users. Many of them care about financial privacy and support Monero. We also support financial privacy.
Most of the people attacking us on this platform aren't our users. We aren't being attacked elsewhere. People in our chat rooms oppose the attacks on us and it's only an active topic in the media rooms.

I realize I risk someone coming in here and going “what are you a child, this is so easy to understand” but seriously look at this shit (screenshots cause neoliberals never fucking stop writing and unlike them I have a character limit)
A.5. Vote Counting
Each voter's ballot ranks the options being voted on. Not all options need be ranked. Ranked options are considered preferred to all unranked options. Voters may rank options equally. Unranked options are considered to be ranked equally with one another. Details of how ballots may be filled out will be included in the Call For Votes.
If the ballot has a quorum requirement R any options other than the default option which do not receive at least R votes ranking that option above the default option are dropped from consideration.
Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default option by its required majority ratio is dropped from consideration.
Given two options A and B, V(A,B) is the number of voters who prefer option A over option B.
An option A defeats the default option D by a majority ratio N, if V(A,D) is greater or equal to N * V(D,A) and V(A,D) is strictly greater than V(D,A).
If a supermajority of S:1 is required for A, its majority ratio is S; otherwise, its majority ratio is 1.
From the list of undropped options, we generate a list of pairwise defeats.
An option A defeats an option B, if V(A,B) is strictly greater than V(B,A).
From the list of [undropped] pairwise defeats, we generate a set of transitive defeats.
An option A transitively defeats an option C if A defeats C or if there is some other option B where A defeats B AND B transitively defeats C.We construct the Schwartz set from the set of transitive defeats.
An option A is in the Schwartz set if for all options B, either A transitively defeats B, or B does not transitively defeat A.
If there are defeats between options in the Schwartz set, we drop the weakest such defeats from the list of pairwise defeats, and return to step 5.
A defeat (A,X) is weaker than a defeat (B,Y) if V(A,X) is less than V(B,Y). Also, (A,X) is weaker than (B,Y) if V(A,X) is equal to V(B,Y) and V(X,A) is greater than V(Y,B).
A weakest defeat is a defeat that has no other defeat weaker than it. There may be more than one such defeat.
If there are no defeats within the Schwartz set, then the winner is chosen from the options in the Schwartz set. If there is only one such option, it is the winner. If there are multiple options, the elector with the casting vote chooses which of those options wins.
Note: Options which the voters rank above the default option are options they find acceptable. Options ranked below the default options are options they find unacceptable.

When the vote counting mechanism of the Standard Resolution Procedure is to be used, the text which refers to it must specify who has a casting vote, the quorum, the default option, and any supermajority requirement. The default option must not have any supermajority requirements.
