Plugins may introduce some risks imo. Non-standard behaviour may be a b*tch.
E.g. the idea of a plugin which posts tags:
How are these elected and shares across instances? And displayed on clients? Are they modifying the actual data written by the user in order to sync?
Maybe they are attractive to admins. But they can mostlikely already query and modify the database, right?
I do not want to be against it just mentioning that it may introduce problems on its own which in turn needs to get adressed. E.g.: When multiple plugins do a task at the same hook; How is the ordering managed? When are transactions committed? Should there be a maximal amount of time spend on plugins at some hook? How are resources shared then?
Let’s think about bad actors: Meta deploys provides a plugin which compresses and decompresses post content and saves plenty of ressources for the admin. After a couple of years they put it to the grave or change the compression methods such that old posts cant be retrieved. But their instance surely still can access those.
I admire beeing lean. Had some projects where bad plugins raised in popularity and become the defacto standard. But they were resource-hungry and badly written or barely maintained. Workarounds spread back to the original program.
Just looked the first time into the lemmy code and it appears to be very neat and clean. I would recommend to stick to it. But then I am no maintainer and a nobody shrugs
//edit: To me plugins are good to aid customization and enlarging the user base. I do not see how this contributes to the fediverse and instances in the long run.
Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank....
One has to experience certain interactions and opinions on the streets. I know we need migration and there has been plenty of people perfectly assimilating but we are struggling with the integration part currently.
I sincerly think most of the issues I observe are due to German/European Rap Music which is nowadays mainstream and way out of line. Teenagers across the board adapt arabic phrases from said music and butchering the language. Let alone adapt the text literally.
Teachers and people working at the kindergarten I know of describe the migration rate at almost 90%. And the majority of parents do not show willingness to educate+integrate, they say. But I don’t know of any numbers!!
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What’re some of your favorites?
Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn’t see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?
Before :). Otherwise I am getting angry ಠ_ಠ. Smilies add context to the current statement. So a smilie afterwards just catches the overall vibe. 😌🤓😌 And this may be rude to someone. 🙄
Windows VM - even as hypervisor 1 - could leak any data. You need a revisited OS and kernel to be safe.
Edit: Once you accessed your network your firmware could possibly track everything as well. But nobody knows. Once I heard that the intel firmware has more LoC then the linux kernel (which is the most collaborated human project ever in existence).
Hello there, I’m Emi from the Godot Foundation. Someone from this community made a PR long time ago about adding the lemmy community card. I’m wondering if there is someone willing to take over the PR so we can add you as a community supported community: github.com/godotengine/godot-website/pull/662...
As an developer you create a solution to a problem from yours. You release it under a FOSS license.
Your job is done - You shared your work. The community may find your project useful and builds upon it. Their interest is to get their changes upstream. You have no obligation to help with onboarding and implementing features for others.
So if they are requesting a merge you may reject it since it does not meet your standards. Maybe you have to make your stance clear and create a CONTRIBUTION alongside your code.
With this mindset you wouldn’t hang out on a non-indexable platform.
Your project mostlikely is requesting explicit participation. Maybe this is the point in between you guys.
Especially on servers I make sure to attend in the software packages survey. Just so that the holy-gods and kings of maintainers are aware of me, the peasant running old packages.
Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.
There are people submitting code with wrong licenses or no attribution. There are people just submitting for the sake of submitting - I dare github profiles for this. There are people who could need some feedback on their code, so that future contributions have better quality.
And it can be very burdensome for a maintainer, assuming he maintains within its free time, to perfectly communicate and elaborate on each contribution.
Also, maybe the project has a feature freeze because in the aimed architecture the same solution would be implemented externally.
Its just not that simple and people generalizing or concluding too fast are mostlikely in the wrong. Bad PR travles faster and further though.
I disagree naming Flatpak etc. as the reason for more adoption. New users I know of do not know how to search for software and software alternatives in the first place.
Documentation and engagement on linux just improves by each day. Experiences are shared and people may just be curious. Then there are news about linux breakthroughs by big players like valve.
Imo a beginner linux distro should prompt on install:
If you are a potential linux adaptor do not get discouraged. You may have spent your entire life building knowledge for an other operating system. Once you grok the aimed simplicity of UNIX and which parts are involved in your daily tasks you will be at least as efficient as with other operating systems. The most inportant thing: Have fun on your journey and engage in our chats, forums and/or in social media.
