Maybe a survey can disprove my opinion. but i would argue the option of having ads plus paying for the ability to remove ads is something most users would accept (even if there is a vocal minority). especially if you explain that researching and developing some forms of content (documentaries, video courses, investigative journalism) can take dozen of hours and is not feasible to do without getting paid when aiming for the highest quality.

That could be better then just restricting videos (mitra could also be a open source alternative to patreon).

In blender for example you receive prioritized support when you sponsor them.

There are also various rewards (like voting on features, exclusive access to discord channels, having a sponsorship section on the website that acts as something like an ad).

There are various guides for this. but that’s the shortened version.

seriously i am not sure if linkedin is more insightful then linkedin.

The only thing certain is death and taxes . but unlike for example omegle and it’s successors you have to register so if it will be detected that it is a LLM it could be banned (eventually people will find out because LLM are not that good). Also i assume someone will have a incentive to do that so eventually it will try to get someone money or something like that and will probably get banned.

You can also say the same thing for every platform you communicate with people like lemmy . you might even wonder if a for profit company might have better resources to detect bots.

Openhub also says it’s “mostly written in javascript”.

Probably because the website site is listed as one of the repositories.

You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don’t think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can’t think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.

I don’t want to start a holy war. but they say it should bring more contributors and a more fun programming language should mean more contributions but contribution metrics on openhub show no meaningful improvement IMO.

Written in PureScript

Using a purely functional niche language like that will really prevent good developers from contributing IMO.

Yeah, but i think any programmable system should allow low level constructs if the high level constructs are not enough.

iirc this caused serious problems with wine because the API of windows requires setting coordinates.

Where is the source code used for the newer plan 9 development? (the foundation said they are participating in google summer of code).

We need better funding for open source games IMO, maybe a non profit set up for that.

I like RSS, i think it can improve the information diet people have by getting high quality content. kinda an alternative to more popular content (meaning possibly low effort) pushed to us using algorithms or just created to appeal to the masses because it is more economical.

It does have a UX problem, i think we need some open source project where you click on a button and it will show you the RSS address but also give you the option to set up RSS while it coaches you to do it in a way that is kinda pleasant and easy.

I don’t know if it could be cheaper , it probably could be cheaper because if it will be more popular prices will drop (Economies of scale) , but i am afraid there will always be a price premium for FOSS friendly hardware because companies are losing their competitive advantage by giving away some of the work they do for free.

Reminder: Microsoft GitHub social media likes is not an accurate barometer of much. Starhacking is a thing & it tells you nothing of the code quality

Its funding track record is also pretty good it seems . no indication can prove a project is high quality, but it can help in deciding what to check out.

Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .

I think you want to use AGPL. people can still make a closed source website out of your project due to the ASP loophole.

Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.

software in the public interest

These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI’s own expenses.

It’s pretty good for self improvement. I scored kinda high on neuroticism but after learning some psychology stuff like mindfulness/meditation/neuroplasticity/stoicism/ACT i managed to reduce it significantly after about 2.5 years. there was even a study recently that showed how using a app to change your personality and it’s not easy and require serious training like learning a language or a musical instrument. I hope we will get eventually some open source version of that app.

and of course you need to be open to it, humans have a documented bias toward not believing what might hurt there self esteem.

Simply because good encryption tends to be slow, making the app unproductive imo.

gocryptfs is very fast for me. i have a file with about 5600 lines and i detect no difference when opening it under encryption and not under encryption. but in gocryptfs each file is encrypted separately . so you could get some information about the directory structure. but the name of the files and folders is encrypted (“archive” for example turns into something like “AaL6P86WWMnqQkMYnsRBXg”).
