They basically want free labor.

Not necessarily. While of course in many many cases, open source is a volunteer effort, there's usually some implicit transaction going on. Whether that's improving the software for yourself and passing that on to others, being a business and improving a library or something you use that helps your project generate revenue, or even a straight up commercial transaction.

But in all these cases, the open source project can be taken by you (or others) and you can do whatever you want with it. In the case of Winamp here, you cannot do any of that. It would be different if they were paying for contributions. But they're not, so.

Depends on the continuity and who's writing it, but often yes. He was notably portrayed this way in the Justice League cartoon.

I think "complex" refers to the various dark patterns used by Windows and Mac/iOS to scare and/or force users that know nothing of computers into using the default browsers.

What is the "official" justification for such a ridiculous move?

The fork was originally created because upstream NewPipe elected not to include sponsor block functionality.

One feature that might help with this is something similar to multi-reddits, where users can categorize communities into their own "meta communities".

Am I missing something? Or is the link to this tool not actually present in the post? I only see a screenshot.

It used to be open source, then it went completely closed. As mentioned, Organic Maps is the fork that is the continuation of the GPL app.

Depends on the language. There is no explicit typing in JavaScript, for example. That's why Typescript was invented.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that BBC experiment is going well. They've barely posted anything, relative to what they could post. They should set up their systems to auto-post to Mastodon when they post to Twitter or where ever else.

Pretty sure the original developer of Infinity is one of the few people who will try to follow Reddit's new API rules and charge a subscription fee to cover it. At least that was the case a few months ago. Not sure what's currently happening.

Returns the add custom search engine button. Which for some reason, has been hidden by default.

It's the opening of the Canterbury Tales.

It's not about that. It's about targeting minorities, history they don't like, etc.

Your instance probably has a very low upload size limit

Edit: lemm.ee has a limit of like 100kb.

The GPL explicitly allows selling the software, like a proprietary software product. You don't even need to have the code up in a public repo. What you DO need to do, though, is provide a reasonable way for customers to get the source code, and send it to them if they ask. Just because a project is GPL doesn't mean you're entitled to the source for free. Of course, if someone buys it and requests the source, they can do whatever they want with it, including uploading it somewhere. Which in the end, essentially makes it available to everyone. Which is the whole point!

All of this only works if the owners of the code respect the license. In this particular case, I don't believe a contributor agreement was ever created, so if the new owners want to close source the apps, they'll have to get permission from all contributors, or drastically rewrite those contributions.

But again, this only matters if they respect the license in the first place...

The amount of doubling and tripling down is impressive, it's as if someone has even less tact than Elon Musk at attempting to address concerns of the community. It would almost be better at this point if they just straight up said it's because they have a change in business strategy and just be honest that they're making it effectively impossible for 3rd party apps to operate so they can make more money.

I thought Moxie had already departed Signal some time ago. Or at least distanced himself? But apparently I must be wrong.

Don't think the snap is an official Mozilla package.

Block the meme communities. It makes things much better. I wish there was a way to relegate certain things to a separate feed without completely blocking them. But right now block is the only tool.

There's plenty of git forges that aren't GitHub. Git itself has nothing to do with central servers and can theoretically be used in a completely decentralized manner.

Cygwin ftw

Organic Maps?

WordPress is open source, for one.

Can just use an external image host in the meantime.

Disable all extensions first, then reenable individually.

Flatpak and snaps do not integrate directly into system themes without special care. No idea how snap works, but flatpak requires some 'bridge' theme installed to properly interface with the system theme.

How would allowing electors to vote whatever they want be an improvement over binding them to state law?

Uncapping the house, yes, is a good thing. But I can't see how allowing unfaithful electors is a good idea.

Even the smell of Olives causes me to gag. I absolutely cannot eat them. Olive oil is fine. But actual olives, no. Doesn't matter if they're old, new, canned, fresh. They're absolutely disgusting. One of the few foods I outright cannot and will not eat.

Fluffy is also a desktop client.

Are you using ooga booga? What specs does your system have?

Will existing projects have to adapt their codebases to work with ActivityPods? I assume yes.

The developer didn't update the version string for 0.0.7. Known issue.

Lol. Git itself can act as a server over the git protocol. Might have been easier 🤪

Tasks.org, with deadlines set on each task. I use it mostly as a way for remembering random things in the moment that I should do later. Otherwise, everything goes into the calendar, synced between all family members (or as I like to call it: The Rainbow of Obligation, due to the scintillating display of event colors that make my phone screen look like Nyan Cat whenever I need to check my schedule).

That applies specifically to kbin (note that the user you replied to is on kbin). It is not a feature yet available in Lemmy, though I imagine it's coming.

Yes. Gotland, specifically. It is considered strategic.

The API changes were coming, and the increasingly deranged decisions and actions of the CEO and administration just made me switch over in mid June. Just stopped using it. Haven't looked back since.

Did also delete as many comments as possible via API before they shut it down.

Not doing anything drastic like blocking Reddit via extension or DNS. Just not using it and trying not to give more traffic to the site.

You're not incorrect. Probably all will be fixed in time.

But alternatively, it could be easily abused in the opposite direction. Better to just get rid of it and replace with some better voting system in my opinion.
