Looks like a piet program

Filters are nice too, if you’re here for escapism rather than news.

Not sure if it was a plasma issue or a wayland issue, but I tried it last year and had trouble with cursor locking.

Virtualbox had issues with the input being intermittent, and my mouse would move off the screen while gaming.

It might be fixed now, but I don’t plan on trying it again for another few years, because what I’m using works for me.

I guess I forgot to mention that those platforms usually require you to sign NDA’s that prevent you from releasing any code that references their SDK.
This makes it impossible to license your entire project as GPL/AGPL, as you would be breaking the NDA.

Using a GPL library will require you to re-license your entire project as GPL, regardless of whether you made a change or not.

LGPL is a bit better, because it allows you to dynamically link the library. But you’re required to provide a copy of source for the library, and any users must be able to swap the built library with their own copy.

Eg; you can use an AGPL-licensed .dll in your closed-source windows program, because users can swap that .dll easily.

You can’t do the same for a ps5 game because users aren’t able to replace any files that the game uses.

If you’re developing software for a platform that doesn’t allow users to replace dynamic libraries (game consoles, iOS, many embedded/commercial systems), you won’t be able to legally use any GPL or AGPL libraries.

While I strongly agree with the motives behind copyleft licenses, I personally never use them because I’ve had many occasions where I was unable to use any available library for a specific task because they all had incompatible licenses.

I release code for the sole purpose of allowing others to use it. I don’t want to impose any restrictions on my fellow developers, because I understand the struggle it can bring.

Even for desktop programs, I prefer MIT or BSD because it allows others to take snippets of code without needing to re-license anything.

Yes I understand that means anyone can make a closed-source fork, but that doesn’t bother me.
If I wanted to sell it I might care, but I would have used a different license for a commercial project anyway.

Hannah Montana Linux is always a good start

Ah fair enough, can’t argue with personal preference.
You sure you weren’t using waterfox classic though? That has a more dated UI than the current version.

I personally use librewolf anyway, but waterfox is still a pretty decent step up from Firefox, privacy-wise.

Interesting. What did you dislike about waterfox?

Sms is bad if you care about privacy, but great for voyeurs.

I frequently send dick pics between two of my phone numbers with fake messages about selling drugs and blowing things up attached, triggering them for a manual review in the government/carrier’s office.

Signal is very useful for minorities and anyone who’s actually planning a terrorist attack.

Oh wow, those are cool. What a shame.

I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that unmoderated communities attract the degenerates :/

An ‘ideal’ solution might require a complete redesign on how federation works.

Something like a more decentralised network where you don’t have a ‘home’ instance.
An instance would be more like a relay into a ‘core’ network, and you could swap between them at any time.

It’d probably require your account info to be public though, so passwords wouldn’t be possible to implement in a foolproof way.

Instead of signing in, your device could generate a public/private keypair on signup.
The whole network would have your public key, and only content/actions that your device signs would be propagated on the network.

Sorry, you probably don’t care about my ideas lol. Just thinking out loud I guess.

He was the inspiration for reddit’s logo

Micro-blogging sucks because it fosters a ‘community’ of people who are only there to gain popularity/followers.

Reddit/lemmy style social media is more focused on sharing interesting things and having discussions.

Because the format command won’t know what the ‘enter’ argument means ;)

Like what?
Genuinely interested in knowing what he’s said.
