Thanks! I’ll look them up and give them a shot.

Anything you’d recommend in particular?
Interesting! Anything you’d recommend?
I agree. But also add in the movie industry that’s been complete trash for a while now. Not to mention books. I’m not sure if we’ll ever see another Harry Potter level book again, at least in our lifetimes.
My take is we’ve already left the golden ages of movies, music, and books and probably won’t get another for an extremely long time.
Video games are going through the same downfall which streaming services brought. Physical media left the movie scene as a standard while ago, but video games took longer. Now it’s going to be all streaming and subscriptions where you can never own anything.
Once that happens, enshittification will peak, companies won’t be incentivized to make the games good anymore, standards tank, and people will forget how good things once were.
Is this from something?
I just want that popup tooltip thing to stop blocking the most important part of the UI when I delete a message in Proton Mail… That’s something obvious and should take 15 minutes to half an hour of a decent dev’s time.
I’m really appalled by how bad Proton’s project management is.
distributed social web
…ActivityPub?
That being said, I can’t trust MKBHD is not hallucinating either.
IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don’t care if he adds new code. That’s much appreciated.
Toxicity is more of an issue if you’re the maintainer since you have control over the project.
I’m very close to pulling the trigger on Graphene. One question though - usually when I try open source / secure alternatives to some popular software the UI is janky and super old looking.
Is Graphene like this with their custom apps / UI stuff? Will I notice? Or is it identical to the stock OS UI design?
They claimed that authoritarian governments do not do this since they have no reason.
Sure, but what the person I replied to is claiming is that e.g. North Korea doesn’t lie to its people about reasons it does things, which is, of course, bullshit.
LOL, this is a joke right? Authoritarian countries don’t lie about reasons for doing things? LMAO

Hopefully they’re planning on using that to integrate with the Fediverse.
Why not? I thought it had very good security. It’s E2E encrypted and the government of France uses it.
Are they? I see ones like
Small government
This is sarcastic, but it’s as much of a joke as Stephen Colbert - it’s touching on something pretty real. Not sure what’s wrong with pointing out hypocrisy.
annoying != complicated
I miss my Nexus One.
I view Gitea as the real alternative to GitHub. I was very big on GitLab for a long time, and think any competition is good, but I’d really like it if more people could seriously invest in Gitea.
They’re also working on ActivityPub support: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/18240
Even Torvalds said that a lot of critical parts of the kernel are completely undocumented and only one or two devs know how they work. IMO that’s completely unacceptable, especially for such an important OS. They’ve proven they don’t want to collaborate or communicate how they work to others.
Rust encodes a LOT of things into the type system, which makes it far, far easier to maintain since you don’t need docs, and since the compiler enforces these things automatically. Memory safety is only one of them.
Starting something in a modern language instead of one with so little safety is a massively important feature.
The difference is similar to gas vs electric cars. They’re both ultimately cars. Gas filled the niche that horses left. Electric cars have been taken seriously for far less time than gas, but their better technology has accelerated innovation. They almost never need to be taken to the mechanic, don’t need oil changes, are way better for the environment, etc. and basically the only gap is getting batteries with larger capacity and more charging stations. We’ll get there soon, and then gas cars will be fully obsolete.
In the end, someone who just sees them as one car vs another doesn’t understand all the benefits of the implementation.
