@eff Fuck software patents.

@zaufanatrzeciastrona Poza wpadkami Brave, artykuł doskonale obrazuje trudności w zarabianiu na oprogramowaniu dla zwykłego Kowalskiego. Ludzie oczekują, że wszystko będzie bez reklam i "partnerstw" (i słusznie), ale jednocześnie wymagają, żeby wszystko było za darmo. Powoduje to, że programy są tworzone albo przez wolontariuszy w ich wolnym czasie, albo przez wielkie korporacje z nadmiarem gotówki, które za pomocą tych programów realizują swoje własne cele.

Wniosek: płaćmy za open source.

@maxburn @openstreetmap Most OpenStreetMap apps have navigation. Not sure about live traffic; I haven't seen it, but I also never looked for it, as I don't own a car.

@Aegewsh @icd Za wykorzystanie istniejącej platformy trudniej dostać granty. To pewnie jest jedną z przyczyn.

@itsfoss I would donate to Firefox, but it's impossible. Firefox is made by Mozilla Corporation, but you can only donate to Mozilla Foundation.

@JulesJones @EUCommission Many politicians have congratulated Trump in this manner because of Trump's egoism. Being overly nice costs nothing, but can increase influence on Trump's actions. Meanwhile if politicians were rude to him, he would abuse his position to harm their countries.

@greensofshade @davidrevoy Same here, fortunately I can see it on its original server. For me, it happens often.

@lianna@mastodon.gamedev.place @itsfoss It's not "Linus xenophobia". It's US sanctions. Linux Foundation, Linux infrastructure, and a lot of Linux maintainers live in US and must respect US law. The law does not prohibit Russians from contributing. The law does not allow employees of sanctioned companies to be maintainers. Russian maintainers that were not employed by sanctioned companies still remain maintainers. Linus et al did the bare minimum they were forced to do to avoid going to jail.

@plakat @EUCommission Most of the APIs were already there, except private.

@itsfoss Honestly, GNU/Linux could use better app sandboxing.

@plakat @EUCommission It's not about breaking integration. All the DMA stuff is optional. You don't have to use alternative app stores, browsers, accessories, etc. You are free to use 100% pure Apple stuff.

@ntt @itsfoss It was done for legal reasons. Linux Foundation is in USA. Linux infrastructure is in USA. They have to respect United States law, including sanctions. People employed by sanctioned companies cannot be listed as maintainers. In some cases it's silly, as one maintainer was maintaining support for Russian hardware his employer made, but law doesn't have exceptions for "silly cases".

@palllyyy There are some unspoken assumptions, for example that instances are run either by Mastodon GmbH or random volunteers/enthusiasts. Meanwhile my instance, for example, is run by Purism, a hardware manufacturer focused on privacy and free (as in freedom) software. There's an instance run by European Commission (ec.social-network.europa.eu). Mozilla used to have its own instance (they are closing it though). And so on...

@fdroidorg Would it be possible for F-Droid app to automatically inform users when the signing key changes (like when reproducible build arrives), so they know to reinstall? After all, F-Droid knows that the key change is intended.

@noelreports Some of this equipment sounds like it was only given to NK special forces.

@noelreports LMAO he's talking about Russia.

@faab64 @tobyleaf @Klaxun There's also Brave Search, but I don't use it, so IDK how good it is.

@ericalaeta @EUCommission Not if you eat the pumpkins.

@itsfoss A lot of Humble Indie Bundle games. (With the emphasis on "indie".)

@itsfoss On that privacy tests website, few entire sections that are shown red for Firefox, would turn green with uBlock Origin with privacy/anti-tracking filters selected.

I'm also surprised by ECH being marked as not supported. It should be on by default since Firefox 119.
