The decentralization is the new and interesting aspect. If that doesn’t matter to you then lemmy might not offer what you’re looking for.

Isn’t sailfish proprietary?

Wow, Spain is way ahead of my country (Sweden), we have much to learn. Unfortunately our politicians are not the best at the moment, but hopefully in the future.

It seems like backend companies are ready for this, but today, what are the options for individual end users looking to escape google etc? Proton has a package with mail, storage, etc, murena for phones, nextcloud, opencloud, suite numerique, is the industry converging on any standards here like .odt for documents but for other standards and protocols?

The good thing about open source is that it’s open, so hopefully it will benefit everyone. Of course, hosting always cost money, but the tech itself isn’t locking you in.

Many people find Debian to be a “boring” OS. After years of distrohopping some come to the conclusion that a boring OS is exactly what they want.

Time for Navidson and some cameras to document it!

Oh I know the reason, nobody knew git and had just worked alone before.

Aha. I was part of a project where each dev had their own long running branch for non-specific work and this was the norm, but it always felt clunky. And often resulted in merge issues.

Is it ok to continue on a branch if you also merge back main into it? Like, branch gets merged into main on remote, local main pull, local merge main into local branch, push branch?

I wrote a function to display numbers as words in my native language, which has a lot of strange conventions. The lead dev immediately saw that this was my first attempt at Lua, and optimized my code. Thing is, now it’s broken for numbers above 1000000000, but it’s unlikely that anyone will notice and I was too shy to correct the main dev.

They also have the CMF for 359 euro, you don’t have to get the expensive one.

I was thinking more about legal actions. But then again torrents need trackers and search sites. It seems like it’s hard to shut down pirate bay though. I just have a feeling that usenet flies under the radar a bit, but if it became mainstream, it might be easier to shut down a server than a shifting swarm of peers?

Doesn’t this also mean that the server can be a single point of failure? Whereas in a torrent swarm it’s distributed and more resilient?

How about these words: “Reflections on Trusting Trust”.

Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.

Recently I decided to try ed for real and used it exclusively for a coding project. There is a certain joy in the simplicity, but ultimately I found myself printing lines and searching files more than I liked. And rewriting long lines instead of getting the substitutions wrong again.

Is edlin still around?
