Pamiętajcie proszę drogie osoby fedisiowe, że wszystkie spory i dyskusje, mają na celu uczynienie #Fediwersum lepszym 👍 💪
Różne osoby mają odmienne wizje "lepszego" fedi, stąd ta "wojna idei" 😜
Nikt nie namawia do zmiany instancji, by zrobić na złość administracji, tylko by na nowym serwerze osobom migrującym było lepiej.
Zmiana serwera jest też chlebem powszednim w fedi. Nawet umowa serwerów mastodona wymaga jedynie, by przed zamknięciem dać czas na migrację. Nie wymaga obietnicy "działania do końca świata".
No i pamiętajmy, że większość serwerów jest prowadzona wolontariacko. To nie jest biznes i "wojna o klientów".
@itsfoss everything, but vlc...nah I'm sure many people hate it. Also I am hater of VLC for android, it just sucks in comparison to for example samsung videos
Hello Mastodon Family! Lena here from marketing. I'm writing an article on instant messengers with interoperability and I'm looking for some more information on what actually makes a messenger interoperable. I thought of focusing on: Element, Delta, and SimpleX but I'm open to other suggestions! Could anyone kindly advise? ☺️
@Tutanota I guess most interoperable from these is Element. You can use it both for daily communication with friends, and for work or working on projects. Most importantly you can self host it, so actually own your data, which is a big plus for it. Yet...for communication with friends I'd still choose Signal, as its more popular, has better performance and privacy mechanisms (in comparison to matrix public instance). Well and for journalists simplex definitely shines. So I'd say it all depends on purpose, but objectively Element has the ability to be any of those 3 if done right.
@erebion
@Tutanota yep, you can self-host your own smp server. In my opinion Its the most private messenger curently, not so popular cuz its not as convenient as Signal, but much better. Signal is also easier to censor, while simplex is much much harder because of decentralisation.
@erebion
@Tutanota Well, I'm talking about android app rn, simplex is pretty small to develop everything at maximum privacy and security standards. Also wdym about standards? It should scale just well in a big sized network.
@erebion
@Tutanota But what for is this protocol? Signal has its own protocol and why is that an advantage? I know Whatsapp uses Signal's protocol but it has actually no impact on performance and privacy of Signal itself.
@gamingonlinux discord is cool for a group of friends, but not for comunities. Its closed non-indexed system causes worse discoverability, its much better to use online formus..just a websites with free access, even with ads, are better than discord
Bluesky has just started officially hosting and verifying dozens of accounts from Trump's regime including the Whitehouse, Homeland Security / ICE, the Department of War etc (https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115393404732174116).
All of these accounts are spreading bigotry, hatred and dangerous lies about vulnerable groups.
@FediTips not surprised...it is made for money just the saame as twixer, so it had to go this way eventually. Thats why I was so sceptical when people praised it as it was not made for money by the same people...
@itsfoss I don't know why OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is not on this list, but I can tell I found it just recently and I'm amazed by user experience of this. If anything ever fucks up, it fixes itself by next update.
Some are asking: why does privacy-focused Organic Maps use GitHub? The largest open-source contributor network, familiar PR & issue workflow, Actions CI, broad integrations, zero infra to maintain, and easy onboarding/discoverability. This lets us focus on improving the app instead of running and maintaining servers. Development time is the most precious resource nowadays, and most of our users don't care where the code is hosted, but care about the app functionality and usability…
Do you care?
@organicmaps In my opinion it would be better for you to stay on github. Because recently a new project emerged
@CoMaps you might have lost some of contributors, therefore making it harder to maintain the stability of development proccess. Of course I would prefer you to self-host the repository, but it creates some issues:
CoMaps emergence probably caused loss of many contributors - therefore making harder fixing the issues and adding new features
self-hosting on Codeberg or somewhere else would probably also cause loss of some contributors, because they would have no motivation to make another account on Codeberg or somewhere else just to contribute to 1 repository (some of them would just prefer to keep all the eggs in one basket - most of devs have github account these days, and most of the foss projects are on github)
self-hosting generates additional costs and takes time for maintaining its security, stability etc., so while having a decrease in contributors would not be a good move in my opinion
In conclusion I think it is better for you to currently stay on github (i have no much opinion about this, I just want this project to stay alive and grow, as it has proven to be amazing over many years already) to not generate additional costs and focus on gaining more users/contributors/sponsors. I think moving to Codeberg won't change much currently, yet staying on github might assure stability, but it is just my opinion.
@FediTips Hey. I wanted to start using
@peertube to replace YouTube for watching videos (At least partially) and see the experience I get, yet I cannot find any list of popular content creators. I know the difference between instance/account, and only lists I can find are promoting whole instances, while I just need some accounts to follow. Here's my question: maybe you got a link to some list with popular accounts? Peertube got so many random videos that I find it hard to find some interesting content and accounts. Thank you in advance. :)
Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was gone, a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design & development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups.
Secure backups will let you save an archive of your Signal messages remotely in privacy-preserving form, refreshed daily.
Now available in the latest Android beta release, rolling out to iOS & Desktop soon
@signalapp Great. Sadly its only to store on Signal's servers, why won't you guys just add an option to synchronize with FTP, SFTP, SMB, Webdav, anything, you just made it for your servers. Centralization is not a step forward, especially with backups.
There is an article by PC Gamer titled, "Windows 11 really isn't that bad", with an excerpt that says, "Let me just shock you: Windows 11 is OK, actually."
To which, there is a picture of Bart Simpson (from The Simpsons) looking unamused, saying, "What an odd thing to say."
@itsfoss They say it reduce loss when Win10 goes extinct and exploits will start causing endless issues anywhere win10 is installed. And they know win11 is worse than win10, it is OK to have up to date OS than unmaintained one. Im not going to use win11 anytime soon though
A boy (Linux users) is seen at a point where two paths diverge towards the left and right. On the left, there is a shiny castle called "AMD drivers", and on the right, there is a gloomy, dark castle called "NVIDIA drivers".
@gamingonlinux Thats pretty good information. Goggle again wants to close a linux into their own eco system, just like they did with android, which is not much usable without google services, play etc. At least now gamers will have a reson to not install chromeos/buy chromebook. (Though it was never meant to play games, more like streaming games)
Illustration promoting an age verification solution in Europe. A smartphone screen displays a message requiring users to verify they are 18 years old to access a website. The background is a gradient of purple and green with repeated '18+' symbols. The EU Commission logo appears in the top right corner.
@EUCommission without zero-knowledge proof this idea is going straight to trash can. At least in Poland...We won't give out our freedom to bad political people.
@gamingonlinux Thank you, and all supporters! It's really incredible, that such old-style website like that can persist in this AI and summary dominated world. Wish you - and all our community - well.
@gamingonlinux Yep, I have telemetry turned on on my plasma, as it is clear what data is being sent, it is anonymous, I can check what data has been already sent at any time and I know KDE are a good guys (at least for now)
@gamingonlinux
@docteurslump I read on steam when tina turner was free on epic that studio making tina and borderlands changed its eula so...maybe there is some truth in it?
In case anyone missed it, my accounts are not automated! I'm an actual human being sitting here typing this 🙂
If you want any help with using Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, feel free to ask! To get in touch you can mention me or DM me or reply to any of my threads, whatever you find easiest.
This account is mainly meant to be about helping people directly rather than just doing mass audience posts. I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people.
@FediTips :O it works. But why there is no option to "open URL in mastodon", like..it should be done directly: Peertube share -> open on mastodon. Also I cannot dislike video from mastodon?
@organicmaps
@forgejo Thats great news! And not so good at the same time..we all know most contributors are on github, but hopefully it will be as recognizable as it was on github.
