I like to move on, but I need to search for a better alternative first, which I am lazy AF for it
@fzero We're on the same boat. But, I'm using #librewolf and not #firefox directly. But given the recent events, I don't think even librewolf can find a way to make it work. I hope they do, but eventually, we have to find another alternative.
@nadiyar
@lxsameer @fzero
Perhaps ultimately we all end up with Falcon browser from KDE folks 😅
To be fair, I have Nyxt and QuteBrowser as one-off browsers, and they are both good. I like Nyxt more because I can configure it to use Emacs keybindings, but it still has some rough edges when it comes to UI graphics design:
Yes, They don't have a lot of extensions available:
https://nyxt-browser.com/extensions
I guess this weekend I'll work on my own Nyxt theme to match my Emacs theme 😅
@mokazemi
I'm not sure how complete this Wikipedia list is, but it's definitely a good start:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_browser_engines#General_information
Unfortunately many "new" browsers are based on Blink or even directly chromium. E.g., QuteBrowser, Nyxt, Vivaldi
We cannot deny that Chromium-based browsers have the most vibrant extension ecosystem. And in the time that #Firefox is so determined to keep using SMG on their own leg, we might not have so much options available 🤷
And Nyxt, lolA web browser built on emacs? I mean what could possibly go wrong?

That award my friend goes to EWW. The #Emacs internal browser that is at least partly written in the magnificent elisp:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eww_(web_browser)
It actually works, especially on simple websites like Wikipedia. I strongly recommend giving it a shot. It is the best thing to very quickly check things like ftp webpages. It is robust and reliable on text-based websites and blogs.
Mozilla has a new CEO who:
- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of bingo profile the whole community has been waiting for.
This website is fantastic and fun and huh I love it
It seems #Atlassian is terminating free and abandoned accounts in #BitBucket based on the email I got. Good thing that I moved all my repos to @Codeberg last year. Not only #Codeberg aligns more with my values, but they are way more transparent.
If you have an account on Bitbucket, perhaps it is time to move away your repos. Codeberg has a nice migation tool that automatically and cleanly imports your repo and wiki.
@Mehrad @Codeberg I've done that a few years ago, but to gitlab, when bitbucket decided to delete all hg* repos and only support git.
I was fine with them supporting only git, but deleting hg projects on a fairly tight schedule felt too Draconian to me. I got out.
*Yes, when I started to use version control mercurial was a thing. In fact, it was the version control system taught at Software Carpentry.
انتظار داشتم اونایی که با علم به خصوص پزشکی مشکل دارن رو انتخاب طبیعی خودش حذف کنه، ولی متاسفانه سرعت تولید مثلشون زیادتره!
@nadiyar
فکر نمیکنم پزشکی از بیماری مردم خوشحال بشه... درست نیست اینجوری گفتن. همین پزشکها و کادر درمان توی دوران همهگیری کرونا چهقدر جونشون رو از دست دادن.
شاید پزشک پولدوست زیاد باشه ولی بازم مسئله مرگ و زندگی آدمها رو اینجوری نمیشه نگاه کرد.
@mokazemi
من خیلی به این قضیه گاهی فکر میکنم، ولی این قضیه ی انتخاب طبیعی دوتا پیشفرض داره:
۱. اون خصوصیتت «ناجور» رو نمیتونی به نفر کناریت بدی (اکتسابی نیست)
۲. کمک دستهجمعی و مداوم برای نجات کسی که خصوصیت «ناجور» داره وجود نداره (نبود مسولیت اجتماعی و اخلاقی)
متاسفانه یارو یه عمر روغن بنفشه استعمال میکنه، مریض که میشه بعد از کلی ماجرا میره دکتر. دکترِ بدبخت ردیفش میکنه (آخرشم یارو از مثلا اتاق عمل که میاد بیرون از خدا و ... تشکر میکنه بجز دکتری که عمرشو صرف این یارو کرده).
@mokazemi
الان که فکر میکنم یه فرض سوم هم داره قاعدتا:
۳. نمیتونی جاهایی که میصرفه اون خصوصیت «ناجور» رو خاموش کنی. (اونایی که میرن دکتر تا خوب بشن، بعد میان بیرون و میرن روغن بنفشه رو به بقیه تبلیغ میکنن)
So many people are going through a very difficult time right now, but they still have to show up for work or school like it's any other Monday.
Please be kind to each other, and give each other a little extra space today. If someone is a little quick to over-react, please respond with kindness.
I’m not sure but if you go to urgent care and lie flat on the floor instead of sitting in a chair they may see you sooner. 😫
This omarchy thing is funny. People call it a #Linux 🤦♂️
It's a premade configuration of a few tools that work together. Almost every dev I know have something like that. They just lack the marketing skills to make other people believe that it's the next generation of operating system or something.

You could be doing sex wrong, you don't know. It's a user feedback based system. They said they liked how you did it, they may not know how to do it either.
Anyway, this is how lots of stuff is run.
@RickiTarr Nature is a good guide... That's why when I do it, I yowl and scream like a cat right next to the neighbors bedroom window at 2am.
@RickiTarr Perhaps we need a questionnaire with grading system
Marks out of 10 for being able to locate the clitoris or effort put into foreplay that sort of thing
@RickiTarr oh no! What if _everyone_ is doing it wrong!? Ricki, what Pandora's box have you opened now?
@RickiTarr or you can have sex education
@Azzura They can only outline the basics
@RickiTarr @Azzura
To be fair, sex education is what we are doing here. Some people don't know anything or know lots of falsehoods like "the woman should accept anything" or "the woman should feel dominated".
It's sad that, despite being a topic which is really important to society, it's seen as a taboo. That applies to children too: once I heard a woman that said she was abused when she was a girl because the only adults she had contact said what they were doing to her was normal. Policies that prevent children from knowing those things actually harm them instead of protecting them.
@RickiTarr One has to be doing sex in order to possibly be doing it wrong so does that mean I am doing it right? Or am I doing it wrong by not doing it?
@RickiTarr Socrates was famously the greatest lover of Ancient Greece because he freely admitted he had no idea how sex worked or even what it was. We have never matched him since. (Joking but accurate to Socrates’s philosophy to my knowledge)
Even worse: define 'sex'.
Your definition of sex is not my definition of sex, and your definition of good sex may be very different from my definition of good sex.
This also requires defining your sex objectives: pleasure? Reproduction? Validation? Energy? Acrobatics?
Make sure you watch my Ted-XXX talk for more information about this important subject!
@RickiTarr 🎶I do it right 'cause I can't do it wrong
That's why the whole world is singin' this song🎶
Then apparently... I'm supposed to put some 'jam on it' or something
At risk of being called an old fogey, I feel the need to quote Fairport Convention here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp51YV6ko1Y&list=RDHp51YV6ko1Y&start_radio=1
sex is like social reform. everyone talks about it but less are doing it and far less are doing it well...
@RickiTarr I was once with a woman who when I asked what she liked she was like "You should just know what to do I shouldn't have to tell you". Since I'm not a code breaker that relationship did not last long.

@JamesBaker @cstross I thought “video nasties” were an 80s thing (at least in the UK, and presumably elsewhere). Films like Cannibal Holocaust (which were less explicit than mainstream Hollywood fare these days), “BAN THIS FILTH” headlines in the Sun/Daily Mail, urban legends about snuff films in which the murders are real, Mary Whitehouse and all that
@acb @JamesBaker @cstross Mary Whitehouse was at her peak pearl clutching in the 1970s
(you can corroborate this because Pink Floyd released Animals in 1977 and she is, ofc, referenced in the song Pigs [three different ones] )

@Ponygirl @Simpike @acb @JamesBaker Nope. Try this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Whitehouse
@Ponygirl @acb @JamesBaker @cstross no that's the bus stop ratbag 🤣 I was referring to "hey you whitehouse, haha charade you are"
@Simpike @acb @JamesBaker @cstross OH yeah!! I remember that line now! I read the article. Bitch was a charade, a razor blade in Britain's shoe. What a freaking weirdo 😳
@Ponygirl @Simpike @acb @JamesBaker Alas no, she was just an evangelican Christian blue-nose of the kind who is currently running US domestic policy.

I'm looking for self-hosted, open source, ideally copyleft-licensed small team task/project management software.
It's sadly fairly challenging to find tools not infested by GenAI.
Contenders so far:
Worklenz
Plane.so (this is why I was asking about the Copilot commits, they have some, but no history shown) DOES seem to have GenAI for their cloud product, trying to see if it's excluded from their self-hosted version.
@nadiyar Taiga was on my shortlist, but their tech stack seems a bit challenging to maintain/support for a 2-person IT department (which we are) if we're not using Docker.
I reached out to see if we could pay for a bit of support with the self-hosted version, but (understandably) their Private Cloud version is the only option, and it's well out of our budget range.
I'm still considering it, it does look very nice.
What has your experience been?
From a user perspective, it's good for kanban/scrum without feeling bloated but I would say there UI could benefit a lot from redesigns to make it more intuitive (finding stuff is kinda hard) and more mobile friendly.
It works well for task tracking, sprints, and overall visibility but it doesn’t have the same depth of automation, reporting, or integrations that bigger tools (like Jira) offer.
Generally I like it, otherwise I wouldn't suggest it in the first place :)
So, given WP is willing to sell all its users down the river for some quick "AI" buzz, what fedi-enabled alternatives exist for human-centric websites? https://www.therepository.email/wordpress-ai-team-outlines-vision-for-ai-as-a-fundamental-part-of-wordpress
I know of write.as, plume. They're to ascetic to match the brief. ClassicPress could be an option, provided the WP-ActivityPub add-on works with that.

I'm looking for an email service provider.
Which is not Google, Microsoft and Proton Mail.
No storage space or office features is needed, only email (and transparency) is enough.
Also it would be amazing if they let me use my own domain, but that's not necessary
Edit: my choice: inbox.lv
Edit: also mentioned: tuta.com, mailbox.org, zoho.com, Posteo.de, soverin.com, disroot.org, runbox.com
@nadiyar tuta.com maybe?
Yes, #Tuta is terrible. Not only you pay for using their platform, but their encryption is not audited and not OpenSource, plus due that soe called encryption (which exclusively works within their platform and all communication with outside is plain-text), you cannot use SMTP or IMAP. So your emails are trapped there. Their export is so damn buggy that I had to export 30 emails at a time. Utter disaster.
I can suggest https://Posteo.de or https://soverin.com
@kakooda
I don't know how to respond to that. But let's try:
1. Their E2EE is proprietary. Google it.
2. Read a bit about symmertic and asymmetric encryption, plus the password decryption happens is on their platform. There is a reason why PGP is the standard.
3. Yes, but you cannot have some features. I was a premium customer for over 2 years.
Read this for further info:
Anyways, if you are happy with it, enjoy. I GTFO and lost money!
@kakooda
To further clarify, use the software you like from the company you like.
I have used Tuta for about 700 days, paid since day 1, but I never got the support I paid for. Even when I wanted to export my emails, they refused to acknowledge the bugs and refused to help. I'm extremely bitter about the experience, and I have done my best ever since to warn people from Tuta issues.
But again, ultimately, use what suites you most.
@nadiyar disroot.org is also great btw.
> I didn't find anything about their E2EE being proprietary
When its code is not publicly available and is not FLOSS, then...
> Have you tried to post your bad experience on their official sub-Reddit and make them publicly responsible?
I don't use reddit. I leave that to other folks who are more invested in this.
> the symmetric key is encrypted with the password which both sender and recipient know but not the server.
yes, but remember when the symmetric encryption was used: when the recipient is not in Tuta. And if someone is not in Tuta, they also don't have the client, so they are decrypting it using Tuta's server. Therefore, Tuta's server will have access to unencrypted data.
> Their excuse for not using PGP is that does not encrypt the subject line
Well, the email protocol is old and does not have good security features, but they could add a line at the begining of the email body and include the subject there and keep the subject field empty. typically security != convenience.
@nadiyar tuta.com if you want an encrypted inbox. Mailbox.org have email and calendar only plan, the one above that has cloud storage and office stuff and more, but is required for custom domains. I am using both and have no complaints.
@nadiyar Maybe have a look at Zoho, they would assign a server based on your IP location.
@nadiyar Are you using a VPN, for your location I don't think the EU server is correct.

@evacide thanks for sharing! What a crazy story, and entirely believable as it pairs up well with other stories I have read or been told in confidence. (I’ve got stories from the late 70s involving attempts at corporate software by the KGB.)
Somebody: “Emm, why nix? Did you know that using nix is against trans-rights?”
Me: “Ah, mate, kill me now. Another idiot. If nix was a closed source product for an evil corp, sure, I get it.
