  • Well, that was disappointing. I guess that explains why he deleted his Mastadon account recently.

  • Hell yes. lemmy.world has always been slow for me. That's why I switched!

  • Being a DIYer is a good way to boycott stuff. Scumbag mechanic trying to screw you on the oil change? DIY. Scumbag cloud company, trying to hold your data hostage? DIY, self host or write your own!

    Obviously it doesn't work with everything, but for certain things it works really well.

    It's really hard to boycott when you've been de-skilled and depend on a service.

  • If all my friends, family, and coworkers could get off WhatsApp, I would be so happy.

  • Eh, names may sound stupid at first, but after saying it a million times it'll start to sound normal. "Google" sounded stupid and silly when they just first started, but now it sounds formal and makes you think of dystopia and dread.

  • Voyager definitely has filtering.

  • Gah. This hits hard. Too often I feel like a guest in my own damn country.

  • Create a new repo locally.

     txt
        
    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "Initial commit"
    
    
      

    Then to create a new remote repo, you can do this.

     txt
        
    git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~user/my-new-repo
    git push origin main
    
      

    You'll get a message that says.

     txt
        
    remote: 
    remote:         NOTICE
    remote: 
    remote:         You have pushed to a repository which did not exist. ~user/my-new-repo
    remote:         has been created automatically. You can re-configure or delete this
    remote:         repository at the following URL:
    remote: 
    remote:         https://git.sr.ht/~user/my-new-repo/settings/info
    
      
  • Also, a shame you can't filter on image text.

  • Thanks! Just added those to my block list!

  • I wish Voyager could filter posts based on image text as well...

  • Interesting! I didn't realize this! https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html

    only the copyright holder or someone having assignment of the copyright can enforce the license. If there are multiple authors of a copyrighted work, successful enforcement depends on having the cooperation of all authors.

    So it seems like the FSF does this in order to be able to enforce GPL. Buuut, these guys really gotta be the exception. I feel like the probability of the FSF selling out and going full corporate evil is pretty low...

    a good idea to have a CLA so that’s no conflict that the project owns the code.

    That's exactly the problem though. The project owning the code, instead of the contributors owning the code.

  • I don't think the type of license matters too much if you have to sign a CLA, since the company can just change it whenever they want. For example, you can be AGPL today (Joplin) and then not AGPL tomorrow.

  • I have friends and family who work in schools. They've all had to put out statements saying they won't cooperate with immigration to the extent they can.

  • The Thunderbird desktop app for Linux has a "Export to Mobile" feature. It generates a QR code that you can scan on your phone to, I guess (I haven't tried it), transfer the login info of your email accounts from desktop to phone. After that, IMAP should take care of syncing the emails from the server to each device.
