  • Source in the open, builds on itch.io. Let anyone build it who wants to for free but provide "convenience" builds behind a donation page on itch. No one says you can't make money off libre software, but just remember to be the good guy at all times. If someone can't afford it, send it them. Ignore any 'piracy' as that will happen no matter what you do.

  • Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed response. My MacBook got a frustrated toss in to a skip unfortunately, as it had a duff battery and the hinges were loose. I was asking for my next (unavoidable) project, as low spec hardware always seems to come along and find me!

  • Which distro/setup do you use? I tried loads on my old 4GB macbook air and they were all dog-slow unfortunately.

  • Announcing the GTK4 GUI!

    No picture of GUI in any of the three articles.

    I love open source but boy are we (generally) shit at advertising.

  • "Bum"

  • (But no mac release :-( )

  • Quantum Conundrum is what you are looking for.

  • Yeah this is definitely getting eaten.

  • Progressive Wesley in the bottom left.

  • But we took back control, silly!

  • I'm Gen Y and don't understand why you call this a boomer meme. Can you explan? Use crayons if needed.

  • You know that, I know that, XKCD knows that and that's a great way to do it BUT- it's not just four random words. It's four random words per service/website I use, which starts to complicate things again.

    Sure I can use a password manager on mobile, but Granny who wants to talk to Little Johnny on the messenger he recommended doesn't have one, nor will she typically remember the four (slightly modified) words in 6 weeks time, meaning she will probably write it down on paper to remember, inherently more insecure than allowing her a shorter password, possibly with a special character she might be able to remember, in my opinion.

    I understand the security requirements and why they make sense, but we're in the field of messengers here, which are incredibly hard to get people to switch to at the best of times. If people are immediately hit with a hurdle at registration, it will probably scare quite a lot of them away if they're already out of my comfort zone and I find that a shame for such a neat looking project.

  • I believe this is about Amazon discontinuing support for pre-2013 Kindles and jailbreaking them to extend their life and escape the Amazon walled garden. KUAL is an app launcher and KOReader is an alternate ebook reader.

  • For me it started going south just after Windows 2000. XP started 'thinking' for you, forced online activation and hid all the settings away in little fluffy Fischer Price boxes. That was the point that your computer started not belonging to you, in my opinion.

  • I'm unsure. My cat is much less of a dickhead than a lot of people I know.

    That's what the voices tell me anyway*.

  • Have you watched the movie? My daughter forced me through it- it's actually not bad at all.

  • That's a shame. It was my reason for uninstalling. I don't have a password manager on mobile so there is no chance of me remembering such a long password, so it would lead me to either writing it down on paper, or worse, sending it to myself via a messenger so I don't need to type it in all the time, which I feel in all cases is less secure than having a shorter but more complicated password (maybe about 8 characters).

    I'm assuming other users may share my opinion, especially for a genre of app like a messenger, for which it is generally hard to convince people to install as they don't want to leave their closed WhatsApp playpen.

    Maybe a solution which caters for both worlds could be considered: recommend 16 but accept and warn if someone types in a shorter one (with a minimum of 8)?
