Quite. Go to the big services that know how to moderate and maintain (and importantly pay for) a public square. But also encourage the interesting ones enable federation for wider coverage.
There are some advantages to algorithms for discovery - it’s certainly is more user friendly. It’s just a shame they tend to enshitify or become toxic. Bluesky seem to offer an API of sorts to plug in feeds you create. Perhaps open algorithms are more accountable?
They won’t directly support it because in their view the Google Play process is a more secure way of verifying they supplied the binaries than is possible of f-droid. If reproducible builds were possible maybe there could be some mechanism to verify a given binary is built from a given commit of the source tree.
When did this change? AIUI creators got a larger cut of YouTube premium views compared to ad share.
My Organic maps has a download screen for the maps which regularly update outside of the app itself.
I think you underestimate how much storage those tiles take up compared to the vector map data.
The data updates are handled separately in app
Won’t it? I thought you just needed to enable the apps you want. My fdroid AntennaPod is certainly usable in it.
Something like this: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/de.westnordost.streetmeasure
ETA: oops, I didn’t realise this uses a non-free component.
Virt-manager isn’t super scriptable but the underlying libvirt can be controlled by virsh which is a shell interface to libvirt. You can use both at the same time, e.g. start and stop via virsh and access to gui container via virt-manager/virt-viewer.
Erm…yes? There is obviously a rush to integrate the latest generative AI tools in everything without thinking about the consequences of it’s failure modes.
Why do the $20 subscription when the API pricing is much cheaper, especially if you are trying different models out. I’m currently playing about with Gemini and that’s free (albeit rate limited).
I run Circe in Emacs because it’s lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.
Self hosting takes time and energy and most open source developers join projects because they are interested in the project not becoming admins. On top of that building a CI system is an expensive undertaking when a lot of hosting solutions provide a fair amount of compute for free to qualifying projects.
If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.
It’s a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it’s a one person passion project then it’s probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don’t change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.
I tried all sorts of port forwarding tricks to get wireguard working on the VM that runs my HA instance to no avail. The trailscale solution works really well. The only real problem I had was magic DNS conflicts with DNS66 on my phone (which I use for ad blocking). In the end I just used a hardwired VPN IP for my HA connection.
I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.
What do people expect? Those servers aren’t free to run and they’re is only so much VC money to burn. That said I wouldn’t pay the various subscription levels that are currently being asked for. I pay for API use which is basically pay as you go. It also makes you think “does this task really need the non-free tier to complete?”.
