Tha’s been my beef with GOG for years now, their utterly stubborn stance of ignoring anything besides Windows even when it’s common sense to do so

Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?

I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah

I hate that this happens, because he’s a goddamned prophet when it comes to software freedom, the harms of proprietary dev models and related stuff, he’s also in mastodon and regularly posts about international news i see no one else mention, but damn there’s just no coming back from all this shit, how the hell would you share stuff he has said with all this gross stuff staining him? Goddammit, Stallman, you were supposed to be at least an OK person!

MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

So, appealing to actual fucking nazis isn’t actually profitable? Oh noes!

Snikket is an attempt to solve the XMPP issues, or at least to reduce them, single all-in-one XMPP server distro and clients across platforms, and since it’s self-hosted no one should get their hands on your data (in normal circumstances).

That said, the saying goes “Perfect is the enemy of Good”. Just because a solution is not perfect doesn’t make it unusable, any of those options you mention full of problems are a helluva better than FB Messenger or plain SMS for example. Depending on your threat model they might be more than enough.

There should be a crowdfunding to project a giant looping video of this mod in front of their offices for a year

I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn’t be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it’s what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.

Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn’t be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.

Also as you’re uploading that data to a random website you’re effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.

Edit: Was mistaken and corrected below, the format IS a standard, not proprietary, in addition the author answered in Masto clarifying that all the conversion happens in the browser without uploading anything. That said, i do insist that the app should support uploading in this geojson format, specially since it’s what Google Takeout gives you

At this point is there anybody left not upsettero? 😅

Since around the time they announced the API changes, every image hosted on Reddit, when opened on a browser shows it embedded on a page on Reddit instead of just giving you the damn image, like it used to do. It pisses me off. Need to figure out a way to return it to the previous behavior and just give me the damn images i asked for, maybe something with the user agent (when you ask it to download it instead of displaying it, or when getting it with wget or the like, it DOSE give you the image, so the way is there somewhere).
