What’s the number on VPN purchases? 😅

Everytime this happens, I wonder if these news are simply fake, planted by the government to make people feel like “you’ll get caught”.

OuterTune, F-Droid.

I am a Kdenlive lover. It works great. Has plenty of options and even a “community store” of effects, render configs, etc, but for your case you won’t even need to go that far.

Gentle reminder that a wired keyboard is by far the most sustainable option.

So, do that. Unless you really need that keyboard to move freely.

It’s quantity and then units. Not units and then quantities. Standardize for once, goddammit!

Why would you do that? We should all keep on seeding as long as possible.

Is there a way one could load this up as a Nextcloud app, or something?

I guess it’s better to get used to your own editor app, which could be used for anything, not just Pixelfed.

Your news sources are not the same as mine

What they are trying to say is that open source and libre solutions have rendered their investments shitty.

Yes, I was thinking… How much tax on Google will force it to get out? I’d say it’s definitely a lot more money.

Also, what’s interesting is that… If Google got kicked out… Nothing would happen. There’s libre software for everything Google does.

Let me stop you right there: the chances of Jellyfin going rogue are much smaller. It’s libre software. It’s GPL. It’s copyleft. We are pretty much safe.

I do use Signal. Everyone should have Signal for telephone contacts. But for the other stuff… I’d rather use a decentralized system.

Actually, I’ve tried DeltaChat, and it does seem to do everything right. It still needs some features, but it’s advancing fast and it’s already pretty usable, and device sync is amazing.

In terms of Matrix, yeah it’s not the best experience right now, but I guess it can still be fixable. XMPP has just too much technical debt and fragmentation, it seems.

Aside from that, it makes sense that it took Signal a while to get the sync feature because Signal ONLY stores messages locally. XMPP stores them on the server. I would expect to be able to access that information from anywhere. What’s the point of doing so anyway? Let me at least import the keys so I can unlock those messages. But it seems like you can’t.

Then losing all your project’s history, while also forcing you to stick to a single, unofficial (because there is no official) XMPP client for the rest of your life because there are no standardized multiplatform backups. I’m sorry but no.

You may call it a feature. I call it a huge fat bug.

That is very sad. I’ll be migrating out of XMPP. It’s intolerable that one cannot recover messages that are still there; or that even moving from one client to another implies you lose all of your history.

Yes, but also, your Taler wallet stores value too, I guess.

In any case, I wonder why Taler has not made it a point that they are (or could) be a payment system for the digital euro.

Could you expand?
