Often, I like getting the context & history of a recipe. When researching foreign dishes these things help me understand a lot about what might be acceptable ingredient substitutes.

And here I want GNU Guix but with an ML language instead of LISP :)

If this caused more folks to jump ship away from letting Google read all of their messages (as well as mine from the other end), then I’m all for it.

How will that CLI work when using non-proprietary Git (or other VCS) servers? Sounds like a way to get stuck in walled garden.

That’s because Microsoft GitHub is a proprietary monolith. Compare that to the open core & self-hosting of GitLab the more FOSS-positive space where each server (without federation) requires a new sign up, confirmation emails (meaning y

But it’s not software—it’s a creative work.

I edit in Vim using Dvorak. I always expect `ciw` to “change inner word” regardless of layout. Most shortcuts are stored in my head in this way, not by physical key placement. That said, it doesn’t bother me that xmonad sets up my keys base

Oof. That is not an acceptable way to treat the issue. It’s one thing to say you don’t the time & cycles, but it’s another to WONTFIX it twice with a clear usability problem.

Why release a book under a software license instead of like Creative Commons?

By coincidence I had to get an old device running last night because current device is broken. I was able to flash 2023-09-05 Android security updates atop a 2014 phone whose last firmware update was 2016-09-01. Is the device not safe? To s

Implying manufacturers aren’t putting stuff in their ROMs they shouldn’t? At least these custom ROMs are built & maintained in the open.

Compared to many alternatives, it is better. The devices with longer support don’t have the basic features I need like a headphone jack & too many thing require a mobile device to function anymore, like Signal which doesn’t work without

Security is the reason I get mad about bank apps detecting custom ROMs on Android. Support is usually shorter, but LineageOS can keep OS and software securities rolling past the manufacturers date. There aren’t custom ROMs in the Apple sphe

I hope not. Signal accounts require a phone number and an Android or iOS primary device or you can’t use the service. There are already good, decentralized options that don’t require a phone at all. The time-tested XMPP+OMEMO has the char

And every person that tried to make a FOSS one got a cease & desist. This sort of accessibility & developer hostility should clue in projects as to why they should choose a better option.

I would agree. Too often they are folding like lawn chairs. I push back against a lot of ideas, but I have my limits too. In the case of adding all of this invasive fingerprinting, it’s not really acceptable.

If it’s proprietary, it can stay in they browser sandbox.

Even the KaiOS support ended for WhatsApp. That’s not to say anyone should use that metadata-scraping, address-book-stealing service anyhow.

The fact that the group in control of the spec, the reference server, the most popular client, & the biggest server is the same entity is problem enough as it is for control/decentralization. Branding it top to bottom as Matrix wou
