Maybe you're happy with your 10 y/o Photoshop specifically because it's a change from all the other modern apps and OSes and websites. I feel people want change more than newness, and that's why 80's music and 90&#x

I can only recommend buying a vps and slapping yunohost on it. Installation is dead easy, and then applications are just a few clicks away. It takes 30 min to have an equivalent to twitter, Instagram, Facebook events and YouTube right under

What is important is more a library where the easiest thing to do is correct, and making it really hard to make mistakes. Make the encrypt/decrypt function the only public api, with as few args as possible. Manage IVs under the hood so

The difference is that dat, fritter, rotonde, and friends are p2p. There's no frontend in the traditional sense, just like there's no backend. It's all static files executed by a process. Imagine the same with .sh files and a

Just to understand where I'm coming from, I'm actually a proponent of all production being socialized so that people do not need to spend their life working just to live. Farmers would give their produce for free because all their

Vanced was proprietary, it's too bad for users but I won't shed a tear for its developers and would actually advise against doing anything that keeps it living. The very fact that there is a need to get apk archives before the lin

It is absolutely relevant because it gives the real reasons: it's not that there aren't enough people, it's that there aren't enough people accepting to be paid this little. Which means it's not a labor shortage but

Matrix is a bunch of append-only logs automatically synchronizing all the time. The most immediate use case is message passing, but it can also be microblogging, data storage, source code repository, pretty much anything. And because it has

Rather than change the icon for saving, there are good reasons to think that there should be no save button at all and saving should be automatically done continuously. Many softwares do that already, computers have the resources to make it

The fediverse desperately needs a global search engine. By design there are thousands of instances, each with thousands of accounts on average. Your instance only knows about the instances it is connected to, and nothing about the others. A
