I am not a fan of at best non-descriptive, at worst clickbait titles with one-sentence post bodies.

OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?

This is the new "Is $DATETIME_NOW.year the Year of the linux desktop?".

How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn't.

I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.

I am sceptical. The paradox of 'DoNotTrack' is, that this setting is used to track you; it gets ignored and, as most users do not have it enabled, makes you more unique.

Someone said, that this new setting is legally enforcable in California. We shall see how it applies to the rest of the world.

No worries, thanks for all your hard work! 🫀

I am aware of that possibility, but a truly FOSS MOBA would be amazing. Custom balancing on different servers, different queues, etc.

Got forked by one of the Contributors:

Thank you for providing the technical answer here, as well as the warning.

GPT-4, prompt: "List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes."

Even without the palindrome condition, it got some of these and a few palindromes.

Pebble is a discontinued smartwatch developed by Pebble Technology Corporation.

FYI Kagi has an integrated Blocker/Upranker/Downranker similar to this. Under their stats page you can see, which domains have been blockes/raised/... the most.

The most hated one by far: Pinterest and all locale-specific sub-domains.

I know that MIT is no Copyleft license, but is that really a problem?

Cool idea! THis should be more broadly discussed. After some discussion here, where could we share it with the F-Droid community? Is there a forum or such?

My five cents: The problem I see is account stuff. You can use F-Droid without an account, and do not want to require an account for ratings. Yet, having no accounts, it is incredibly easy to manipulate votings.

I would probably prefer a "Git Issue"-like thread for every app, where you have to register. This allows for

  • Deeper conversation, more insightful reviews, instead of "3 starts, UI ugly" (let's face it, this is not the reason why we use F-Droid)
  • Pointing out code lines in the source code. This could help with bug fixes, malicious stuff, etc.
  • ...

What about OpenBoard? It is maintained and a great keyboard

NVM, it is not maintained, but there is a very active fork: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

To be fair, at this point it is LaTeX or raw txt.

I disagree with the other poster. Work isn't (shouldn't be) a place that is disjoint from the rest of our time. Making such an effort can be worth :)

Valid question. Im short: They will stop working.

You are getting downvoted for the question because most people here think that you shouldn't use them. And they might be right.

Great read, thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for putting in this amount of effort highlighting some shortcomings of the Fediverse

Stop recommending OnlyOffice.

Well, I do realize it every day 😶

While it can be somewhat cynical to play out environmental vs social issues, I agree with the scepticism here.

I agree. If it were a bit more compact, I'd like it more.

Unrelated to the entire discussion on cars: This is important! What you just did is so so important. I WANT to believe that EVs are great, and they probably are, but the study seems somewhat lackluster. An someone needa to point it out, regardless of their own opinion.

But Android has far more users than FF.

I do understand your scepticism towards companies; the reason for my question was that I got the impression from your first comment that you don't like/install MIT code and was just confused as to why someone might dislike that.

Are you shocked about the play or her response? Tbh I think it is a great opportunity to discuss Climate Change, demographic change, human rights,... at school.

Search for webcompat

Obviously that wasn't my point. I just stumbled over the wording.

Thank you for the reply! I did not want to be mean, rather explain why many people would downvote this post. Welcome to Lemmy!

Unironically thank you for licensing your comments! :)

But be warned, this doesn’t work for everything: it seems that spending wildly on a wedding ceremony or engagement ring doesn’t have a “sunk cost” effect – it fails to increase the likelihood of staying married.

LOL

No, but some.

I'll say what Linus would say: You shouldn't trust me, even if I say that I'm THE LORD HIMSELF LINUS TORVALDS.

I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

  • The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
  • The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.

Indeed. Oftentimes they kinda resolve their cognitive dissonance by saying 'Ah, you got a fiance, you have to say that wink'. As if there is no other logical explanation.
