Magit is err… magic, but the Emacs hurdle means many avoid it understandably.

Hopefully forgejo will have federation released soon which will make interacting across projects easier. Although maybe that will just encourage the bots to use it, so can’t win really.

It’d also complex, expensive, and takes many years to build.

I think it’s interesting that the terms are predominately slur form too, which you’d expect to be more common amongst conservatives.

See what happened to Xiaomi bootloader unlocking for an example of this in action.

I think all of these have sdcard mods now (and the 360 has long had HDD mods from memory).

I think country TLDs don’t have WHOIS privacy protection if you care about that.

The risks of auto-updating now include “devs losing their shit” which has become increasingly common.

You can use a custom domain in many cases, which you control (not sure about addy.io though). Still has the dependency on the service, but you can at least quickly transfer if it goes to shit.

I like that matter provisioning requires verification of their certificate, but I don’t like that certificates can expire or the certificate authority can shut down. Although maybe that’s all taken care of by the DCL? In which case that’d be fine.

It’s also pretty obnoxious that it requires an Android phone with Google play services enabled (and even a Google login IIRC) or an iOS phone. There are ways around this, but they are pretty complex and not well documented.

If he follows through it will be a good thing for Europe in the long term as it will drive renewable and EV adoption. Which has already happened to an extent as a consequence of the Ukraine war.

Visual novels are well represented and sometimes more complete than their PC counterparts as it has become pretty dominant in Japan. Other than that, I’ve never really gotten into Nintendo’s first party games either. Somehow, they just don’t hold my attention.

If any ai Ia involved they will dismiss not only it but you and it’s a really irritating habit that is starting to emerge.

It’s perfectly understandable. It used to be that a project that had the appearance of a significant amount of work and polish put into it could be reasonably trusted. With the rise of LLMs, that assumption has gone completely out the window as people can churn out appealing looking slop in record time. In addition, LLMs are dominated by the most transparently evil tech companies in existence, and the fully open models aren’t yet good enough, and are still built on the backs of the absurd amount of energy usage used to train the models.

That all being said, I don’t think the OP is being malicious and I appreciate the disclosure but I’d give this project a year of maintenance before I would reasonably trust it.

Once businesses were on board, Facebook hoped to sell them analytics tools, too.

Then once we’ve got them hooked, it’s Enshitttification Time!

And the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back.

Not FOSS or open source in any sense. You could still say it’s self-hosted, but I suspect most people self-hosting care about this.

Snikket is essentially just prosody but more of an all in one package.

Endurain, a self hosted fitness app, may get gadgetbridge integration once the network helper is finished.

This one is nicer than uptime-kuma if you prefer declarative config.

They also initially took content from libgen, which is a fair bit less legal. Personally, I have mixed feelings about all of this. On the one hand, I don’t like some shitty for-profit AI company making money from the collective works of civilisation. On the other hand, I think copyright protects works for far too long anyway and most should be in the commons already. Mind you, I would be more sympathetic if Anthropic et al. were doing all this for research purposes instead of capitalism. Maybe that would be a better copyright reform, in that it expires much more quickly than the current laws (say 10 years) but restricts third parties making a profit for a longer period. Likely that would be complex to design and enforce, however.
