Fucking noice, dude. 👏 Honestly, yeah, why even diamonds. They brainwashed us good.

Lab-grown rocks

When I was getting married a few years ago, I remember thinking fuck real diamonds lab-grown are literally the same thing. I remember getting some push back from some weirdos about how “real” diamonds are some how better or how people will think I’m a cheapskate or how people will feel bad for my wife…

Well, fast forward a few years and literally nobody cares, thinks about, or has said anything negative about my wife’s ring. We are both 1000000% happy and satisfied with the decision to buy lab grown.

Hell yes. lemmy.world has always been slow for me. That’s why I switched!

If all my friends, family, and coworkers could get off WhatsApp, I would be so happy.

Eh, names may sound stupid at first, but after saying it a million times it’ll start to sound normal. “Google” sounded stupid and silly when they just first started, but now it sounds formal and makes you think of dystopia and dread.

Voyager definitely has filtering.

Gah. This hits hard. Too often I feel like a guest in my own damn country.

Also, a shame you can’t filter on image text.

Thanks! Just added those to my block list!

I wish Voyager could filter posts based on image text as well…

Can you guys get us on https://www.starvoting.org/ instead? plz. thx.

Interesting! I didn’t realize this! https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html

only the copyright holder or someone having assignment of the copyright can enforce the license. If there are multiple authors of a copyrighted work, successful enforcement depends on having the cooperation of all authors.

So it seems like the FSF does this in order to be able to enforce GPL. Buuut, these guys really gotta be the exception. I feel like the probability of the FSF selling out and going full corporate evil is pretty low…

a good idea to have a CLA so that’s no conflict that the project owns the code.

That’s exactly the problem though. The project owning the code, instead of the contributors owning the code.

I don’t think the type of license matters too much if you have to sign a CLA, since the company can just change it whenever they want. For example, you can be AGPL today (Joplin) and then not AGPL tomorrow.

Hahaha. No, but seriously, we gotta switch to metric. I hate owning 2 sets of tools.

Also, it’s easier to think, “Oh, 10mm is slightly too small. I need 11mm.” instead of “Oh, 69/420ths of a barley corn is too small. I guess I need 70/420ths?? Wait, they don’t make that size? Oooh, nooooooo!!! AAH!”

The Thunderbird desktop app for Linux has a “Export to Mobile” feature. It generates a QR code that you can scan on your phone to, I guess (I haven’t tried it), transfer the login info of your email accounts from desktop to phone. After that, IMAP should take care of syncing the emails from the server to each device.

I was curious what the other apps were, found the list: https://fedidb.org/software

Seems like the owners of Gitea did something like a self-coup and kicked out community members from the project. https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

Forgejo is the community-driven fork of Gitea.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Oh for sure. I hate it when apps are like “EZ one line install” but then spin up a bunch of Docker containers. It’s just more potential for shit to break.

A huge reason I like Navidrome is because it’s just a single static Go binary. Can’t get much easier to manage than that. Plus a bunch of native music apps are available as well. Wish more software was like that.

For the specific case I’m talking about (CLAs), I check if the project (on GitHub or wherever) requires signing a CLA to contribute. In Joplin’s case, they do:

• https://joplinapp.org/news/20221221-agpl/#what-does-it-change-for-developers
• https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/index.md#signing-the-individual-contributor-license-agreement

Basically, with a CLA they can change the license at any time to whatever they want. If they want to go closed source tomorrow they can with zero trouble. Without a CLA, they would need approval from everyone who has contributed to the project to do a license change, giving the project proper open source protections.

Ah, yeah. That’s why I’m wondering if I’m missing something… Like, cool. I know B sold my address… now what? I guess it’s a neat metric to know?
