No one is forcing you to see them, especially given that this is an open source system with open source clients.
Also, how much are you paying/contributing to the developers, admins and moderators in order to avoid the need of alternative methods of funding?
To be quite honest, I wouldn’t mind sponsored posts as a way to support a community or instance, as long as they were completely disclosed as so and if the sponsor had no control over the moderation.
Nah, I feel cheated by Fairphone. With the whole FP3 and FP3+, they were leading with the idea that they have settled on the form factor, and then just evolve the separate mainboard/camera/display modules independently. With the FP4, they scraped all that and just chased whatever was trendy at the time and cranked the “but the environment” marketing.
I paid the Fairphone premium knowing that the specs were crap, but that at least in the future I wouldn’t need to upgrade by buying a whole phone. Promising to have software upgrades for 8 years is nice, but it’s worthless if you can not upgrade any of the hardware in the meantime.
For now I will just go buy a “budget premium” Android and pray that the people from frame.work decide to extend into phones as well in the next 2-3 years.
The whole Motorola G have both, and there are some Motorola devices with LineageOS. I guess I need to find any developer mentioning interest in working with the newer models and buy accordingly (and donate what I can to keep them going)
But the Pixel phones do not have headphone jacks nor sd card slots…
Hey! Congrats on shipping the new release. I was wondering if/when you’d have a chance to take a look at https://github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy/issues/459. Being able to migrate people from reddit to lemmy just by letting them sign up and have them automatically subcribed to all the equivalent communities would be huge, no?
Gitlab is open source, but some features are only available in their Enterprise Edition. As the name suggests, unless you are looking for an alternative for a large company, the open source “Community” Edition is enough for all your needs.
Not the case here because mkbhd is author, editor and producer of the content.
The thumbnail is not the content.
Not the whole content, but significant enough that it can be used as a sample signal about the editorial principles from the author.
And yes, the same applies to book covers.
At least two people just from this thread alone…
Corollary: when content creators start trying to maximize reach instead of relevance or quality, it’s time to stop watching them.
If not, why?
How many man-hours of work were already spent in the development of Photoshop, its plugins, etc? How much has that cost? On what scale of time was that spread around? How much money have designers put into them by buying licenses (now subscriptions) of Adobe’s suite?
If you want an alternative for Linux that can match Photoshop, you need to be willing to support the R&D costs that have been paid off by Adobe throughout the decades of its development. Are you willing to do it?
Won’t they be forced into by the EU and its mandate to make messaging interoperable?
The messages would still go through WhatsApp, but they are e2ee anyway. The part where it would protect you is that you wouldn’t have the app installed on your device, so Facebook won’t be able to get your location, access your contact list, etc.
Though I’d rather recommend you just get out of WhatsApp entirely (it’s still owned by Meta after all), one way to go would be by using a matrix client (like element) with the WhatsApp bridge.
I agree so much with you, I am running a commercial provider for Fediverse services for almost five years. The problem is that we are still a very tiny minority relative to the amount of internet users.
