Finally someone’s doing something about the cost of living crisis.

That’s been how ICE had been doing things for decades. Only they’re now doing it to white people too, and they always take it a bit further during Republican administrations.

I’m sure he knows Tesla gets the most engagement. And I also believe Tesla is the only company that doesn’t use lidar and Musk has been very vocal about lidar being unnecessary for self driving.

I am able to sync my stuff from Floorp to Mull and back without much trouble.

We really need better names for stuff

They were only for the free market if they could force it on others.

I mean, if they can somehow come up with something better than activitypub, that would be great, from what I read it’s actually not that efficient. But yeah, decentralisation is not something you can just tack on, so I’m sceptical too, especially since they’re trying to raise VC money, which is not something you do when you want to build an open protocol.

It’s been clear from Gen X onwards that we’ll have a worse life than our parents, of course you’ll get anxious about it. You can probably plot this on the same chart that shows the rise of income inequality.

That’s somehow worse than Mastodon’s toots.

Bluesky is supposedly working on decentralisation, but yeah, I agree, especially since Mastodon is already there. Normies are just somehow very turned off by too much Linux talk, even though free software is part of the answer to keeping our society free and stopping monopolies from forming.

Or they could use a distro that’s already been created by a European vendor, maybe even create a competitive tender. There’s no point in creating a new distro, add a new repository if you must.

K-9 is probably an Android only client? They’d have to either find an open source iOS app to build on, or build a new one from scratch.

Thunderbird is finally out of beta so you can get it through the play store or F-Droid. K-9 itself was also updated so it’s now basically a K-9 branded version of Thunderbird.

Isn’t this part of the auto configuration stuff? Basically there’s a standard where you can add some DNS records to your domain and/or a standard file on your website so e-mail clients can automatically prepopulate all the email settings so you only need to worry about entering your email and password.

It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.

There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.

I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.

The post says they’re working on releasing to F-Droid.

It’s actually still baffling to see companies like AWS and Zoom, who arguably are all about enabling remote work, go with mandates like that. But yeah, it’s probably a stealth layoff, except they’re going to lose their best employees.

Yeah, I’d rather the distro be as boring as possible while the exciting stuff happens upstream.

Creating a whole new chain seems unnecessary since chains are just public ledgers anyway. It’s always been trivial to trace trades with most currencies.

Looks like it’s also a variant of Synergy, so I guess it’s just the same. There’s a lot of different forks of it, I’m not sure which one is the ‘best’ these days.
