EU officials are, incidentally, exempt from chat monitoring – which is quite convenient for someone like von der Leyen. Their communication is explicitly NOT to be monitored. The mere fact that those who drafted this law don’t want it to apply to them tells you everything you need to know about it.

I developed the Android app for Syncthing years ago. But then I didnt have time (or motivation) for that anymore. Developing Lemmy is much more interesting for me really nowadays.

Bioshock 1 was an iconic story, first the plane crash, discovering this hidden underwater city, surviving in there and finally returning to the surface. For Bioshock Infinite the ending was totally confusing, something about parallel universes?

Message Customization: Send any custom message in Morse code.

Morse Code Decoder: Convert received Morse code into readable text.

Neat, this means you can talk to someone in morse code without having to learn morse. Did anyone try how well it works in practice?

Thanks this is very useful feedback. Especially the search box in community sidebar would be very useful and easy to add. Formatting for community ids should also be easy to improve. A bit later when I have time I will implement these things, and then make a post in the Help Design Lemmy Series regarding search.

By the way basic reading is working for me in Tor browser with JS disabled. Though buttons like switching Local/All, sorting and of course forms like register, login and search are not supported. We could use contributors to help fix these things.

You can setup a Lemmy community and link it in all your project repos. Sooner or later people will show up.

In what way is the search function in Lemmy awkward to use, is there anything specific that can be fixed? You are right about subtopics, and also Lemmy normally doesnt show discussions organized by topic on the frontpage. That can be changed though with different frontends like lemmyBB.

Sounds like a variant of Doom. Now I want to play this game and shoot up the monsters.

Maintainership of a free software project can be very taxing so it’s refreshing to see attempts to address that that aren’t intrinsically at odds with the free software movement. Remember that users of free software have no entitlement to anything other than source code. There is no requirement in any free software license that a project have maintainers, take bug reports, accept pull requests, offer support, etc.

This proposal could totally backfire though. There will be users paying 5 Euro per month and then demand on the issue tracker that major changes get implemented overnight. Or people who contribute with good bug reports that are unable to pay money, so problems remain unfixed. There might be a way to balance things so it works out, but that will take time. In any case its worth experimenting with different approaches to get open source betterfunded.

It is an issue for the open source projects discussed in the article.

Cache size is limited and can usually only hold a limited number of most recently viewed pages. But these bots go through every single page on the website, even old ones that are never viewed by users. As they only send one request per page, caching doesnt really help.

It doesn’t take calls for murder or genocide. In Germany you can have your house raided for posting a meme which calls the minister of economy an idiot. The same minister of economy who doesn’t know what a bankruptcy is, and whose entire working experience is as an author of children’s books.

In another case the office of an opposition newspaper was raided, all their computers and even office chairs were taken away by police. All under the pretense that it was an ordinary association and not protected by freedom of the press. However courts found that this was unjustified, and so police had to carry all the items back inside a few days later.

NLnet. However they only fund specific types of projects, and there are many open source maintainers who are not interested in money (usually they have a well-paid job already).

I havent noticed any problems with instability, at least for web server development it is stable enough. But it may be different in other contexts like embedded. And its true that many libraries still have 0.x versions.

??? Rust 1.0 was released 10 years ago and since then there have been no breaking changes.
