Unless Spotify drastically changed their backend it doesn’t make sense why firing one person will make algorithms stop working

The only thing which F-Droid reports is that it uses jawg.io for visualising the map tiles and that is considered non-free is because it is… commercial?

This is the quote from the Streetcomplete github:

Since mid 2020, JawgMaps provides their vector map tiles service to StreetComplete for free, i.e. the background map displayed in the app.

Personally I don’t care that much about FOSS/non-FOSS but IMO a reason like that is least of my concerns when looking at open source. If they’re providing a free (as in money) service to an open source app then that’s perfectly fine.

Sounds like you don’t even know what GOG does?

Switch to firefox.

Yep, you’re right there.

everyone seemed to jump to conclusions.

Honestly, everyone’s been so burned by companies pulling the wool over their eyes that there’s just no trust left. People were happy with Mozilla 5-6 years ago and nowadays everyone is a skeptic.

You might be right in this case but they weren’t wrong.

Copilot is fantastic branding tbh. It’s like the MBAs want change for the sake of keeping their jobs.

Probably not technically true because podcasts use RSS

I have an account that I use to read, but I’ve never posted on Mastodon. Decided to tweet after seeing this post and I see a privacy option called “Quiet Public - Fewer Algorithmic Fanfares”.

Seriously, wtf is this? What does that even mean? If techie people like me can’t figure out Mastodon then you can’t expect the general public to do that. I’m not blaming this feature in particular, but Mastodon is quirky in all the wrong ways.

“Basic”

Give that tester a raise bro

Didn’t he just win the Euros at 17

Honestly at this point there’s a fairly large number of instances so yours would need a selling point to even begin. And that’s before taking things like owner behaviour and strictness into consideration because the instance theme and tools will always be the first impression.

“Generic catch all instances” are common. You can only build up a user base if existing people are willing to ditch their own. What are yours doing that the current ones do not?

• Do you have a focus on a particular topic? I would consider posting a beautiful photo that I took on an instance dedicated to photography rather than the catch all one.
• Is your UI unique/pretty? Which leads me to the next point…
• Do you offer certain tools available/unique to your instance? 1) If yes, why can’t they be integrated with base lemmy? It’s open source after all. 2) If no for whatever reason (Lemmy devs slow to respond, low on their priority, will not accept, I don’t agree with their behaviour etc) is there a reason it cannot be included on other existing instances? Why is it exclusive to yours?

And then I would start looking at the details like what would uptime be, how much are you yourself making an effort to contribute and expand, etc

Nginx is owned by F5 now which is an American company so it’s not RU anymore

That line isn’t going to recover for a while now

USB-C is a bitch to clean, I have had multiple devices where fast charging stopped working until I cleaned out the port or held the wire in a particular angle.

Right? I had to do the same

It’s satirical/sarcastic, I even added the bro and everything. You see Linux users doing the same on every fucking Windows post so I couldn’t resist.

I don’t have any Apple devices so I don’t understand why deleting the message from one device doesn’t delete it from another. What is the point of a sync in that case?

Easily fixable, just use Windows bro
