** Things which Niels uses but doesn't like
*** Facebook
I used to not be on Facebook, but now I am. It annoys me, but I felt I had to.
I still believe that the solution to Facebook and other centralized services is
to use decentralized services. So in the case of "social networking", it would
be nicer if I could use Diaspora, friendica, or something else instead of
Facebook. In any case, I don't seem to use social networking sites very much for
some reason.
*** GitHub
When I want to make a git repository available online, I like to do it on the
server which also hosts metanohi, or a free software online host, such as one
running Gitorious. I don't quite like the very popular GitHub service, because
it is not free software. The negative effects of GitHub's proprietarity is that
its users cannot learn from studying GitHub's code, and that they cannot run
their own GitHubs. Users mostly use GitHub for public data, and since git
repositories are distributed, it is easy to move a git repository from GitHub to
another git repo hosting service --- just change the push address of your local
repository. All of this means that GitHub cannot cause serious problems when it
comes to control over the data you give to it (and I don't think it's as hungry
for data in general compared to Facebook).
As such, GitHub is far from being as great a problem as e.g. Facebook. But I
still don't like GitHub's attitude. I use GitHub because someone created a
repository to which I contribute code on GitHub, not because of its "social
coding". GitHub's focus on making branching, merging, etc. easy is probably the
right one, but I don't see why that can't be done in a decentralized way. After
all, git is decentralized.
*** Dropbox
I don't use it for my own files, but sometimes I use it for shared files because
others depend on my using it. I like to run it chrooted when I have to run it.
