My guess, it'll be rewritten in rust.

"Every version is stable" is definitely not "just like every other branched model". Why not just have an increasing number or date as a version number if everything is stable? The major and minor numbers don't make in this way if "everything is stable".

Good on Nick. Do what you want buddy, you had a good run. Go have some fun doing what you love.

Now it's time for a corporate user of libxml2 to donate resources for maintenance and bug fixing or forking it. It doesn't always have to be on the shoulders of unpaid maintainers.

"Simple". That's not simple.

AOC is a programmer?

Why make your own phone? Why not partner with Fairphone? Fairphone seems to be the only vendor out there that sells phones with an alternative ROM (/e/ OS), they might very well be open to an alternative OS like Sailfish.

I doubt it. Most likely complying without complying. Then they dont put their monopoly in jeopardy. If people found out they could use any other app to communicate with WhatsApp users, then WhatsApp would have to actually compete on features and not "use it because everybody else does".

Being able to check off the box of interoperability without actually interoperating with a competitor is just a trick in my eyes. I hope the EU commission sees it that way too. Given how they want to placate the US though and the concessions they have been making, I won't hold my breath.

"If I need to write boilerplate and learn a new skill, is it really worth it?"

It really pisses me off when something doesn't work and the first thing someone says is "must be Linux". Bro, I moved away from Windows because of all the bugs there. Don't try to bullshit me into thinking you live a bugfree life.

My system is as fast as when I first got it (minus maybe the extra bloat websites have acquired due to bugger JS libraries and unnecessarily big assets). On windows reinstalling every year or every second year was normal.

Waydroid is GPLv3 and that's great. Hopefully contributions will be upstreamed. Waydroid, Wine, FEX... Valve is contributing to great things!

Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how "dead" that is.

It won't be interoperable with anything people use, making it only theoretically interoperable. Wake me up once I can use it with Jami or Matrix.

Sounds like a misnomer to me.

 

A KDE developer gives his opinions on the topic.

 

A few people pointed out that many rust projects were MIT licensed and since then I indeed have seen MIT licensed projects everywhere in Rust. Then I found the link of this post and it looks like MIT was by far the most popular license in all of opensource in 2023.

Any ideas why?

 

Is retroshare the new iteration of this?

 

Basically, I'd like to have my own domain e.g onlinepersona@mydomain.com but not go through the hassle of hosting my own email service: I'd like to use another service that handled SPF, DMARC, and whatever else for me, grab the emails from their service using POP, and make it available to my email client on android and Linux using IMAP. SMTP will be through the third party.

This way, if the third party starts doing some bullshit like trying to lock me in, donating to a dickhead, or whatever else I disagree with, I can cancel my subscription, move to another third party, and keep all mails on my server.

How can I achieve this? Which search terms should I be using? "Self host email server" brings up stuff that's the equivalent of self-hosting gmail, AOL, posteo, kollabnow, or whatever, but that's not what I want. "Selfhost POP relay" doesn't have much better results, always bringing up SMTP relay...

 

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

 

movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!
