I would prefer this. And even without federation it's a very good Stack Whatever replacement already.

While those are valid concerns, it's not really hard to see why people use VPNs. Just look at how companied and countries abuse the internet, abuse us.

I really like simple black&white T-shirts with just a logo.

Some will recognize it and come say hello. Most will think it's just a brand. Some will ask what it is and I will gladly explain.

This Creative Commons shirt is one of my favourites.

This is literally the only app I miss from my window$ days. And they fucked up that too

Today I thought it was Monday when I woke up. Realizing it's actually Wednesday was like skipping two days (of existence) for free!

Thought of this immediately as well

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.

Yeah. I have a strict policy of never signing any CLAs. Their loss.

That while changing the licence to copyleft was an action in the right direction, it also means that they could switch the license again [for worse]. Apparently they hold the copyrights..?

If you don't need fiscal hosting then LiberaPay is the superb recurrent donations platform.

 

An interesting talk by Thierry Carrez in FOSDEM.

Luckily not! There's LiberaPay, which I find preferable to OpenCollective anyway. No confusion with hosts and it's clearly non-profit.

 

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

 

I didn't realize that being a supporter would warrant me a real paper bulletin!

What a pleasant surprise. Feels way more personal than some pdf file which I wouldn't likely read.
