This explains so much! Thanks

I quite like how *some* of the arms of the stars touch but not all. The older pentagram gives the impression that everything can connect to everything which has been hard to live up to.

But the ship has sailed and the pentagram has become well established.

Lemmy and Kbin both got money from Nlnet. Mastodon too, plus probably other fediverse projects.

What is the relationship between NGI and Nlnet?

When listing an app on the app store, there is a footgun to watch out for. One of the questions it asks is “Is this app made for children” or “is this app intended for children” or something like that. If you say “yes” to this then that triggers extra stringent evaluation criteria. Many people will accidentally choose yes for their app because it’s a general purpose app which anyone can use (no porn, violence, etc) but that is a mistake. The intent of that question is to find apps that are ONLY for children to use and to evaluate them differently in order to keep children safe.

following the first report’s publication, TikTok disabled its hashtag measurement functionality in a move that made it impossible for the researchers to replicate their findings.

To have any chance of doing serious CAD work in a VM you are going to need to set up GPU passthrough so the guest OS can access the GPU directly. AFAIK Virtualbox doesn’t do this. Some hints about further research can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_virtualization.

I strongly doubt Windows will be faster in a VM, that’s a pretty bold claim. But it should be possible to get it to an ok level.

Private messages would need to be end-to-end encrypted. No ActivityPub-based platform does this. I’ve been mulling over how to do it but haven’t landed on anything solid yet.

Signs-ups don’t have to be open, they can be closed or vetted - it’s just a config option that can be changed with a couple of clicks.

PieFed has polls. But it’d be helpful to take inspiration from Loomio and add much richer functionality here to turn a poll into a proper group decision-making tool.

What do you want those users to be able to do with their accounts?

A CMS like Drupal or Wordpress might be what you want.

It’s hard to recommend something when you haven’t described the purpose. Having users register accounts is just a means to some end.

Yeah, I read the whole thing. It was a good story but I felt that when it came time to “deliver the goods” they fell a bit short. For example, this: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/final-image-global-south.png. That is under the heading “Clearly authoritarian”, which seems pretty strong for such a boring sounding course.

I stand by my earlier comment.

I wish they were able to find better examples of the courses and the content (not just the summary from marketing materials). The examples they provided were really tame.

in China, law enforcement is designed to protect the state and the Party rather than the people, journalism is prescribed to create national unity rather than act as a check against the system, and the law is intended to protect the regime rather than its citizenry.

Very succinctly put!

In the Constitution of China you’ll find a section where it explicitly states that the interests of the group outweigh those of the individual. It’s baked into the legal bedrock.

You’re looking for meaning where there is none. Fascism does not want to make sense, it very intentionally rejects reason and logic. To fascists, force and power is the only real politics. Few people really grasp how deep the nihilism of it is.

The chaos is an end in itself.

I’ve seen a vanload of tourists happily taking pictures of sheep on more than one occasion. New Zealand.

The faircode model assumes that contributions from random outside people are minor and that the bulk of the work is done by the founder(s). To the founders there is little actual benefit from being an open source project, anyway. I can understand the attraction of the model in that situation.

My ideal OSS project would be receiving a steady stream of contributions from a wide variety of people without an elite sub group that considers themselves to be “the authors”, which would be obviously unsuited to the faircode model. Sadly few projects achieve that and are largely the work of one person.

IMO it depends on the situation/project.
