I hate that this happens, because he’s a goddamned prophet when it comes to software freedom, the harms of proprietary dev models and related stuff, he’s also in mastodon and regularly posts about international news i see no one else mention, but damn there’s just no coming back from all this shit, how the hell would you share stuff he has said with all this gross stuff staining him? Goddammit, Stallman, you were supposed to be at least an OK person!
Okay, i chuckled at this one
Well, you’re on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working
Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it
Only 42?
Great! Must have missed the announcement as usual but no matter, looking forward to it!
Except there’s recent examples, and it’s in the docs (On the “ideologically motivated changes” point at the end), this is established
I have no desire to interact with the hallucinating plagiarism machines if i can help it, that’s why i asked PEOPLE, who have actually used the software i ask about
Even from the “all your eggs in one basket” kind of perspective it does feel worrisome, not to mention that i am unsure about this dilution of their focus on many apps being helpful, I’d rather have them focus on very few but rock solid and maintained services instead of going with the Google “we do everything” way to do things
That doesn’t seem to be FOSS, i see no code, at a glance it looks like another closed, VC-backed commercial platform unless i missed something
So, let me see if i understand the argument: Discord, a piece of closed source software which is very popular at the moment because they hit first (user inertia) and haven’t yet ramped up the enshittification (but sooner or later will because they already announced the intention to go the IPO route), wins over free software alternatives because of a 100% unofficial bot designed to help with one tiny niche user case most users of the platform haven’t even heard about, which is itself free software and therefore could be migrated and/or adapted to other free software?
I’m not sure the argument is very solid
Heh, had already boosted, liked and bookmarked it, nice! 😄
Many years late, and still requires having your number. Good first step though, we’ll see once a phone number is not required.
As one of the very likely commenters that falls into this i’m sorry, but fuck the reddit administration, i left them nothing. Hopefully you might find an archived version of the answer.
Gave a quick check, and it costs more than twice the price to buy it in EU, everything from Pine64, for some reason, odd, will look at this in more detail later at some point in case i missed something because the idea of an open, not locked, not tracking your every move smartwatch is appealing, but that doubling the price thing is a minus.
The new organization is at https://github.com/FossifyX. For now all the apps have updates disabled, i’m quite open to alternatives for all EXCEPT Gallery, so i hope the fork goes well, at least from the discussions it looks like it’s off to a decent start.
Of note, the apps on FDroid are still uncrapped so you can still take them from there.
That was one of the various projects for developers i saw and mentioned and it’s not something my normal user level friend can just install in their computer unassisted to start writing stuff for them on Firefox, i imagine that somebody could develop something using that as a backend but (again, unless i’m overlooking it) i don’t see anything at the moment even in alpha state
Is there at this point such a thing as managed hosting of Matrix? Like i pay somebody to install, keep upgraded and in general maintain a Matrix server with bridges to all the major things, then i just use it along with my small pool of users? Even further, would that be advisable?
Was considering Vault but yeah, no. I hope there’s a good alternative
I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah
