Making apps with Godot is actually very doable, it takes care of a lot of the typical annoyances involved with that process like UI layout, theme support, and cross platform distribution. The Godot language (GDScript) is very approachable and powerful, too.
The Godot editor itself is made with Godot, and here’s a few other nice examples of apps that I know of:
This is probably not an easy question to answer, since, as another comment pointed out, WordPress is both an open source software option to selfhost your website, and also a non-free managed hosting option that you can use to host your website.
For the former, you fully control what plugins are installed, and if you don’t want social media tracking pixels on your site then don’t install one.
For the latter, you also mostly control what gets installed on your hosted website, but not entirely. It’s running on their servers so in theory they could be injecting tracking. I believe they do have some plugins like Jetpack that are always installed on managed websites, with some anti-features included that can be turned on (but don’t have to be).
I always recommend going the self hosted route with WordPress, if you are even the tiniest bit technical minded. It’s very easy to deploy on something like DigitalOcean or your own home server, and then you don’t need to worry about tracking from WordPress.com.
Because you’re the account who posted what I’m responding to.
You didn’t make any substantive critiques about the journalism, so why would anyone be responding to that? All you’ve said is that you “don’t care about ffmpeg”, which is dismissive of the software itself, so yeah obviously people are going to be responding about the software.
It isn’t like it’s a niche secret that YouTube siphons people’s privacy and sells their personal information. Creators being ignorant about that might have been a excuse a decade ago, but not now. I don’t think we should be excusing content creators who collaborate with and benefit from the machinery of viewer-exploitative content distribution that is YouTube.
Edit: also, you’re here in a privacy community defending the violation of privacy that you yourself originally described as dystopian. I’m not trying to be confrontational with you, here. I genuinely do not understand how you can think that content creators bear no responsibility for the dystopian situation you’ve encountered. Certainly they don’t bear all the responsibility for what YouTube does, but they chose to support YouTube by uploading monetized content there.
I’m not saying they should be canceled for that, but appreciated for it? Let’s not.
can’t even show your appreciation without selling more information
The content producer you’re trying to show appreciation for is the one who put their content on a platform that forces you to sell your information in order to appreciate them. Maybe let’s not appreciate those who do that.
Your comments are not wrong, but also Trump is not the sole issue here. There would still be a problem even if he was removed from office today.
Proprietary software and services are an issue regardless of which government jurisdiction they fall under. It’s a good idea for the EU to be moving to open source instead of proprietary solutions based in the EU.
The fact that other publications are more right leaning than The Guardian doesn’t make it left leaning. It’s a liberal paper, supporting liberal positions and routinely expressing opposition to leftists like Corbyn. In my book, support for liberalism and opposition to leftism makes it a right wing publication.
We USians often don’t realize that the Guardian is a right wing publication. A frustrating number of people in US circles (especially liberals who don’t know they aren’t leftists) think anything European/UK is ideal and that conservatives don’t have any influence there.
This is a good idea, except that it requires money. I already have an old Pixel right here that I can put Graphene on.
I guess my point is, it’s not necessary to harass people about their choice of phone OS before you know their situation. 🤷
It’s an issue for accuracy in the comparison images that were posted.
How can you seriously assert that people are using the term too lightly when you apparently don’t even know why they’re saying it?
Could you define the words “fascist” and “communist” as you understand them?
Why would using Apple’s walled garden be a solution to Android becoming a walled garden? I can’t understand why this sentiment of moving to use Apple comes up so often lately.
Aha oops I edited at the same time as your reply! Thanks for the elaboration, that’s helpful!
What does “ssd” mean in this context? I’m guessing it’s not solid state drive since that doesn’t make any sense in these sentences, but searching that acronym isn’t very helpful.
Edit: I guess it means “server side decorations”. I see that OP did use the full phrase once, but it didn’t click with me initially. Wikipedia says that means the window manager draws titlebar buttons, as opposed to client side decorations which enables the app developer to control the titlebar of their app.
This sounds like a perfect use-case for setting Junction as your default “browser”: https://flathub.org/en/apps/re.sonny.Junction
It shows a dialog when you open a URL, allowing you to specify which browser you want to use each time.
In theory, you could then open links in your host OS browser usually, but still be able to select the VM browser easily sometimes.
Isn’t all of their concern kind of demonstrated to be unfounded? CoMaps forked the exact codebase being discussed and moved to Codeberg already, and they’re doing great now. Whatever it is that the Organic Maps team thinks is indispensable on GitHub is clearly not actually an insurmountable challenge to ditch.
I don’t want to discourage the effort you put into trying to build something useful, so I’m trying to say this nicely… you’d probably get more interest if you built a moderation tool that doesn’t involve AI.
Lemmy is probably an unlikely crowd to be looking to for positive reception of an AI nanny bot. Even less so on .ml, and even less so on an open source community.
This looks great so far! I love the concept of an app that makes conversions easy for the most typical use cases.
It looks like you’re still early in the UI phase, so you probably have plans for this already, but I feel like the progress screen could use more feedback than only two progress bars.
Overall though, this looks like it could be solid! Good luck!
