Don’t most desktop environments already have this?
If you want to include this as an option when right clicking the desktop, you will probably need to patch this into the DE of your choice, however I think at least KDE has an option for custom right click actions.
I’ve been waiting a very long time for this. This is the first GNUnet(aka the alternative more private internet stack) project to ever make it out of the prototype phase, and it lays the groundwork for more GNUnet projects. Also, this is probably the best version of the Digital-Euro idea, with none of the privacy drawbacks such projects usually have.
serious answer: Just like you said, behind these projects are different visions and different goals so it would make no sense to sqash both together. Whats a sensible default to someone is horrible to another.
And open source has no such limit, take the linux kernel for example: a giant project of crazy scope which is free software and works better than commercial kernels. What free software lacks are in my opinion UI/UX designers, which is why many non commercially made free software have wierd user interfaces.
I continue to be squeezed by both sides of the threads situation. I am operating on the premise that people who think I’m a terrible person and this is a terrible instance for allowing any interaction with threads have left and/or blocked, those remaining seem to want to either have nothing to do with threads at all and are...
Default instance blocks should largely replace defederation
Since what content users might want to see is quite unlikely to match which servers the admins tolerate, choosing instance on the Fediverse can be quite complicated, which is inconvenient and off-putting for new users.
For this reason, and simply that the Fediverse is stronger united, I believe defederation should ideally be reserved for illegal content and extreme cases. If Fediverse platforms would allow instances to simply block the rest for users by default, the user experience would be the same, unless they decide otherwise.
Ah, so you want a ‘hard’ defederation, that works just like it does now, and a ‘soft’ defederation, that users could opt to disable? Interesting.
However, as others said already, that would mean that servers now also have to federate with other servers that most users and the mods probably dont see, creating difficult moderation challenges…
For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.
… have practically relaunched the same press release that praises Mammoth, the Mastodon app developed by The BLDV Inc. , the Californian start-up financed by Mozilla (and THEREFORE by Google, which now finances 90% of Mozilla)
Thats a pretty crazy statement. Mozilla is not a shell company for google. They have very different goals, and google pays mozilla for google search as default because otherwise, firefox users would have a different search as default, giving another search engine a serious opportunity to get big.
Mozilla funds many things, and this is just a well made open source client for mastodon. There is no secret big corp. agenda behind it because that would be crazy. Why wouldnt google develop such a thing in house and use their influence to bring users to it, and why use mozilla, the rival browser company, to do it? This is a major flaw in the article, serious enough that I cant take it seriously.
I’m currently working on a FOSS Discord bot. When I host an official instance of said bot, do I need a TOS and or Privacy Policy, or is a link to the license (in my case GPLv3) enough?...
IANAL, and a bit unsure about the following information, but I think you do need a privacy policy if you process someones elses data(like for example their login data, private messages, etc) You may also need an Impressum when hosting the official website for the bot(germany specific, maybe look it up if you actually need to do this)
Some of those artifacts have questionable ownership claims. Its not obvious who exactly they belong to. It would be easy enough to return something to a major museum at the country of origin, but for example the Benin bronze statues have claims from nigeria the country and the royalty, who plan to integrate it to their private collection, aka we would be “returning” an important artifact to some kleptocrats safe.
Also nigerian museums are notoriously famous for “loosing” artifacts which then appear on the black market. Sone are even melted down and sold at the price of the materials.
In my opinion one of the full design themes should be picked because some of those single designs look very nice individually but would clash with others.
My pick would be Emiliano’s theme, it looks the most like an evolution of the opensuse style. Imo the others are either a bit too minimalist or deviate too strongly from the original design.
Nikolayan’s design is also good, but I prefer Emiliano’s because that you can recognise the chameleon better in every logo.
