When will Bun open up to libre and/or federated chat options instead of requiring users sign up for and agree to Discord’s ToS?

My bank is detecting Netscape Navigator 4 & you better bet it’s a horrible experience for small viewports, & generally a buggy experience altogether (scoping other sites in my country, they are all just as bad). This is also presupp

Don’t care or are ignorant about why they should care (even when they “have nothing to hide”)? I think this part of the these conversations get lost. Consumers care about privacy, even if just at a surface level as we’ve seen the megacorps

Was the Kool-Aid tasty? But seriously, all of these megacorps are bad for our privacy on absolute terms & doesn’t matter if one is relatively a little better or keeping your data from another corporation since they’re hoarding it for th

Unless you go the custom ROM + microG option that 98% of folks would never do… or you embrace the Linux phone OS which has no ‘apps’ (like that banking app that banned you for rooting your other Linux (Android) phone) & the telephony ba

I’ve had problems with e-commerce as well. Recently I tried this with Nike & the checkout phase was trying to read all my sensors, canvas, etc. were all being hit & failing according to the console. Disabling fingerprinting let me g

There’s not much to reinvent. They could have setup & hosted an XMPP server with MUCs & microblogged posts on whatever ActivityPub option they chose (or similar softwares).

They also mentioned their Microsoft GitHub forge to file issues. They really want you to create proprietary accounts to interact with them. You’d think a small web initiative would be led with small, decentralized/federated, libre soft

That was actually adorable. Kudos.

But you have to rely on Mono or .NET Core for Linux which isn’t something many want to put on their servers or desktops.

by toastal 3y ago
Relying on Microsoft’s .NET is not what a lot of us would want to do, especially when it comes to libre software.

You at least bought a burner device to do this, right?

I switched to a motorbike that has almost nothing ‘fancy’ about it--along with public transportation.

That would make a fine dessert.

We should emphasize the “preferred name” option because it can be very expensive & arduous to change a legal name. Also using real names in UI/messages should be considered a bad practice because you risk leaking info to shoulder s

Signal… minus the phone number requirement and the primary Android/iOS device requirement and the NSA backdoor removed.

A bonus to self-hosting is now you’ll have an XMPP server you & your chatmates & org can use for decentralized, federated chat—may as well add a new virtualhost & ditch that proprietary chat option.

Thanks for providing NixOS commentary. I’d was leery something in Nix would break, so I never tried.

I really wanted to pick it up, but it lacks a lot of Unicode symbols which for some is a bit of a joke since they come in ‘ligature’ form.

Unfortunately AFAICT, Onyx BOOX still isn’t publishing their Linux kernel modification or sending source on request which is a violation of GNU GPL 2.

A CLI tool is something trivial to get from Nixpkgs since greater integration with OS’s GUI isn’t required.

Joke? Push notifications have a lot of valid use cases for web apps even if they are useless (or harmful) for web pages . The platform is shared between the two categories.

Ideally something like reStructuredText or AsciiDoc, both of which have a much larger feature set for taking notes where longer form is needed. I don’t really like the idea of embracing an Obsidian-only fork either.

Is there an open source option to Obsidian? This is the type of thing I wouldn’t want reading or tracking my inner thoughts. Preferably something that isn’t using a limited format like Markdown.

In the last case, had you just used a CSS variable, you could just change that.

Roger. I’m mainly saying jamming everything into a utility that is one prop per class is a mess. Mixing where appropriate is good.

Criticizing utility-first libraries doesn’t imply that a) the only alternative is some component-based naming scheme nor b) that you can’t use pieces of both & definitely isn’t suggesting c) use inline style . I’ve used a mix of differ
