Fortunately someone else at work already set up a redmine one (they did it by mistake, actually, long story; but at least we already know it works). So I’m taking a look at this (slash or OpenProject) in conjunction with kanboard first to see what sticks.

Took a look at this and might not end up using it for this, but might use it for a different non-work related project instead that’s far more focused on time and task management.

Looks good at a first glance and is among the first I’ll try.

A much fair point.

Lol. I download a library or program to do a task because I would not be able to code it myself (to that kind of production level, at least). Of course I’m not gonna be able to audit it! You need twice the IQ to debug a software compared to the one needed to even write it in the first place.

Would you be okay with a US instance then, for example? They have couped, bombed or invaded only 48 countries so far (including mine). Or perhaps an European instance! They invaded both Africa and America and particioned them nicely as well as exercised a bit of genocide, as a treat.

I didn’t think about this, but they’re a French company, so maybe they could do it on the French instance?

…Actually it would make more sense yeah and it would help raise awareness of other issues by the sidelines, given European servers are also being made subject to jerky stuff.

Oh? What instance, or rather, what instance country, would you prefer?

Why? There are awesome communities there. Also Firefox, but they’ve long since fallen below “awesome”.

You can just unblock it temporarily.

Or connect from an account in another instance (or directly from an account in .ml).

on devices running Android 13 or later.

Sounds easy then: stay on the latest Lineage that does not incorporate A13.

While I wouldn’t say Google is actively hostile towards these power users,

Author is obviously sold out. Are they even trustable?

Just connect directly from a .ml account or from an instance where .ml is not blocked. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse: you can reach someone for the useful stuff they do, not not-reach them because people do not like the neighbourhood where they are established.

Oh thanks for re-teaching me that one! It’s been far too long since I last used French reallistically. Even tho it’s better that I took that than German, otherwise I’d understand the ich_iel memes which would make them lose half their charm.

faux pas

Not much of a “faux” pas. Not only did he double down on it, but the board supported him.

This tbh.

I don’t understand why is this not he standard for Lemmy and the Fediverse. We got here, among other things, to get away from the kind of crap enabled by JS-first web.

Which further emphasizes the question. If things are bad enough in Switzerland that you have to consider leaving, where to?

Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo’d, or that’s what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.

Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?

Honestly, I’ve always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of “all humanity” jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it’s not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.

Now We’re Milking Cows Alone at 4 A.M.

Well, you voted Trump, now you get to milk it for all it’s worth. At 4 AM.

Get rekt, and pay a living wage next time you try and start a business.

From the 404media article on the subject:

The Distilled announcement post says the company made the choice to shut down these products because “it’s imperative we focus our efforts on Firefox and building new solutions that give you real choice, control and peace of mind online.” It also says the choice will allow Mozilla to “shape the next era of the internet – with tools like vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features on the way.” Which is what everyone wants: more AI bloat in their browsers.

(The monkey paw turns, and) we got our wish.

We did, internet! We killed Pocket!

The attack surface yes, but not the attack volume. No matter if the app is containerized or native, it has access to the data that it has to operate to. That’s literally part of computer nature.

But a containerized app, assuming the container service itself is kept up to date, has less hooks to break into other stuff than a native app does. For starters, a native app can read everything that’s world-readable, which in a shared system might be lots of stuff but in a containerized app might be quite minimal.
