I write software (C++) for a living.

  • I believe the Delta Chat client started off as a fork of the Telegram client.

  • Your point seems to be "open-source-with-monetization now has a problem, but altruistic-source doesn't". Maybe the linked blog was that narrow in focus on open-source, and you force-expanded it to altruistic-source.

    I think projects with principles are in the same quandry as those with a monetization objective. Software under GPL-like licenses has a problem, LLMs slurp up Linux and GCC source code and spit out non-compliant derivative work. It is no longer possible to promote principles by contributing in the open. There is also no hope of software authors winning damages from companies the way book authors seem to have won in court.

  • This should be grounds for prosecution as phishing, right?

  • You can't call uncaring consumption or negligent cost-cutting measures geo-engineering. Geo-engineering is an expense, and whoever spends is looking at their returns, which is an incentive to do worse than uncaring consumption etc.

  • Rooting services and/or wiki

    Jump

  • Do commercial apps work on such an installation? I have seen them get worse, checking for non-rooted, non-developer-mode-enabled, Google Play Store enabled, etc.

  • Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be Next

  • More like a vocal minority, I'd guess. Its upto the majority to also be vocal.

  • Claude is an Electron App because we’ve lost native

    Jump

  • Also, which native UIs do people like coding up? Most UI toolkits have JS bindings, don't they? So only HTML/CSS is the bad fit?

  • They also bought the Bun JS company, didn't they? Maybe they actually can improve the spp a bit by replacing Node with Bun.

  • Go landfills!

  • Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support

    Jump

  • There has been the "4opens" criteria, that has been more on point than free/libre/open source.

    In hindsight, defeating corporate and AI piggery might have needed single-maintainer closed source with open protocols. Software components? Maybe it would have led to the compound document model instead of the app model, architecturally enforcing openness.

    Isn't it actually of the people on whose code the LLM was trained on?

  • PoC - Use Matrix instead of emails for logins

  • Linus Torvalds tries vibe coding

  • I think it is intellectual laziness to do Python just for its ecosystem when saner options abound.

  • Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick 3 or Get None

  • hmm. Are you atleast getting credit for fixing all that?

  • LLMs defacto seem resource guzzlers, and are continuously overloading websites.

  • Zig: Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg

    Jump

  • This is great. Overdue if you consider the values they espouse. Quite feasible for a compiler project to ignore the network effects of Github. Is their Discord usage next :-)

  • Programming peaked

    Jump

  • There is https://tauri.app/ coming up to let Electron app developers debloat their offerings.

  • Other ways of curating than following communities

    Jump

  • Thanks. I'd not want to add a 3rd thing, RSS, into the mix, so following from Mastodon might be a workaround. Ideally, I would "follow" in Lemmy itself!

  • Other ways of curating than following communities

    Jump

  • True, I am looking for "get threads boosted by this account". If Mastodon did threads well, I would have stayed on it. I wouldn't care for it at all if I could also "follow" accounts on Lemmy (and the accounts that matter were on Lemmy).
