France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/
And politically as well though I can’t pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.
Cool image slides! For my use case it is a bit too usage focused. I would like to find something that focuses a bit more on the “Not controlled by one” part and covering Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and such. I like your presentation style though!
The video is great and covers a lot of the information I would like to share, but it’s sadly not professional enough for the use case I am thinking of. Still a great share! Thank you!
Yes, it is absolutely valid that you decided to commercialise your project and keeping parts or all of the code closed. As I work in the public sector and we are encouraged to use open source and write open source software, my knowledge regarding closed software solutions is thin. Is there a “standard way” how closed software is able to guarantee private key safety? I could imagine solutions where there is a separate handler that is open source so that one can verify that only specific information is passed into the closed software area, but this doesn’t sound feasible when talking about full terminal support within the closed software.
Again, there is nothing wrong with going commercial! I am sure I will release closed software (side projects), too, at some point.
Hey, I had my struggles with app icons as well when I wrote a small app for myself so I am not really equipped to create the PR (also due to current time limitations). If no one is found for that, I can give it a shot at the end of the year, but I am sure you will find someone sooner than that.
However, I know of a free icon website and have looked through their icons to suggest a few to you:
Uxwings license is amazing: https://uxwing.com/license/ you can use the icons for basically anything and can even alter them.
Personally, I like “Eye in “scanning square”” the most as it symbolizes the technical aspect of scanning/capturing the surroundings.
While I haven’t used it yetis, there is also https://icon.kitchen/ for icon generation.
Giving it a quick scan, it does look interesting. I am not sure whether I will try it as I don’t see the need to visualise beyond what I can do with a shell and the openstack dashboard, but there can definitely be use cases for it.
Not being FOSS is the deal-breaker though. Not sure if I am too much of a sceptic but I prefer open source when having software that accesses my private key/servers.
Fellow German here. Since October 2023 the information regarding Israel x Gaza has been wonky. Before that in history class (~10 years ago) the conflict has been viewed as “They are both responsible for the current state, peace talks never worked, sometimes there was hope but both did bad things”. The focus was in general more on israel as a state and gaza as the less defined part that suffers. Personally, I was never happy with a country that defines itself by their religion. I also felt like taking Israel back after such a long time and driving out the inhabitants is difficult to defend.
October 2023: The government immediately stood behind Israel and it took a long time until Israel’s behaviour was really questioned by journalists/media. Politicians still hold back. Many Germans, me included, thought something along the lines of “it is a very complex situation that goes back years. It was never resolved and it is understandable to some degree that Israel never wants to be terrorised like this again.” - a bit like America’s actions after 9/11.
For me the greatest shift came with the killed aid workers and finally with Amnesty International’s recognition of a genocide. I didn’t entirely trust any (whether pro or con) media footage before that due to claims from both sides that the other side is faking them.
Before the election I asked the parties what their plans are regarding Israel and Gaza. None answered. A while ago I have asked the new government what their plans are and linked the Amnesty International genocide pdf. I got an answer but just a forwarding to another agency which I haven’t heard back from yet.
I still think the conflict is rather complex, but Israel is currently largely at fault. I have no idea how the situation can ever be solved as I don’t see a power great and willing enough to enforce any peaceful contract between the parties. While I think it was unjust to recreate Israel the way it was recreated, I don’t think it’s feasible to undo a state. The ideal solution would be to unify both countries under a good constitution that gives everyone equal rights, review the stealing of land to find compromises and forget everything so that the coming generations are unable to not see that we are all equal but this will never happen.
There’s also https://github.com/revoltchat which is very discord-like but still lacks some vital features that are currently in development like screensharing (if I am not misremembering)
I tend towards: No. I can’t know for sure, but given how pdfs are structured this sounds very difficult.
A workaround might be to automatically place white boxes over those, but you can probably still select the text underneath afterwards.
I have set up a good hand full of dual booted Windows/ Linux machines. Never had any major issues. However, I also noticed that I only use Linux except for games and that’s slowly changing, too, so I would suggest trying the dual boot if it makes you more comfortable to realize yourself that you don’t need it.
