I’d like a comparison of Signal vs Jami, Briar, and SimpleX. They are all decentralised to some degree.

So in your world, I could spam the network with CSAM, gore, rape, and everything else and it would be up to a small group of people to filter that out for the rest so they can subscribe to what that small group thinks is appropriate?

“Kernel version numbers are easy”

Didn’t know about those. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I wonder how they compare to libxml2.

The Linux Foundation is too busy funding AI, it seems.

They support MKV now???

Phoronix commentors will be furious.

Every version is stable in linux means no version breaks userspace. Semver’s major version literally breaks the contract. It’s what it’s for.

And even if we literally meant stable as in “this is expected to work”, no, that is nowhere near normal in my experience. There are countless projects and companies with “test in production” mentalities. Then there are distros like Ubuntu and nixos that always have an unstable and/or a testing release, which is by definition not stable.

So, no, every version is stable is definitely not the norm in my experience.

My guess, it’ll be rewritten in rust.

“Every version is stable” is definitely not “just like every other branched model”. Why not just have an increasing number or date as a version number if everything is stable? The major and minor numbers don’t make in this way if “everything is stable”.

Good on Nick. Do what you want buddy, you had a good run. Go have some fun doing what you love.

Now it’s time for a corporate user of libxml2 to donate resources for maintenance and bug fixing or forking it. It doesn’t always have to be on the shoulders of unpaid maintainers.

“Simple”. That’s not simple.

Because Microsoft

Extremely. The constant purity checks of “this is not opensource because this org said so” is like bible thumping. “The good book of Christ says this is how the world is made and it is sacrilege to claim otherwise”.

This researchxxl person then also released a new version Synthing-Lite on fdroid.

I’m so confused by this situation. Updates to syncthing-fork have been disabled. Doesn’t seem trustworthy at the moment.

There’s Jami. It even supports LAN or WLAN and Bluetooth communication. Useful for when the network goes down, during protests, etc.

Sweet! I did wish the opposition had failed. Might’ve forced more people to care about their privacy and vote for a different government next time.

Why make your own phone? Why not partner with Fairphone? Fairphone seems to be the only vendor out there that sells phones with an alternative ROM (/e/ OS), they might very well be open to an alternative OS like Sailfish.

How many thread models exist? Kernel thread, green thread,…

O rly?
