Do you think there’s a way for this to scale to larger projects like Servo? Or will it only work for a few people collaborating?

This is a good point. I assumed here that FS advocates will be basically opposed to a technology that serves to incorporate their code into software that does not provide the fundamental freedoms to end users, more than those who license their work permissively. But yes you could imagine an FS advocate who is quite happy to use the tech themselves and churn out code with GPL attached.

Fossil has a lot of features and config knobs.

As a rule I don’t directly quote bboard messages elsewhere, even if they’re mundane or from the admin. Just a bit of respect to folks who aren’t posting on the web and might not want to be.

There was a reply that it should be okay now but more disks will be needed soon

FYI I posted in REQUESTS, so I’m sure it will get looked at sooner or later.

I will mention that I have JS disabled by default and your website shows up as a completely blank white page. You’re certainly not obliged to cater to weirdos like me, but you may be interested to know that there are some people who browse the web this way for speed, privacy or security reasons. Most websites I visit this way are fine because they are server-side rendered.

If you are feeling ambitious and want to go “serverless”, try out DecSync and a compatible android app for contact sync. This represents all your contacts as files on disk in a way that avoids conflicts, and you can use SyncThing to keep your devices in sync 100% peer to peer. Unfortunately on your desktop you’ll probably have to use something like radicale on localhost and the plugin to convert it into CardDAV for your regular email client to understand.

Well this 100% illegal art makes me happy so good job

If you can write correct C++ you’ll be able to write Rust code that compiles first time. Don’t stress, you’re learning the good stuff.

This is one scenario I proposed when we were last having this discussion: https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2023/07/07/if-i-was-meta-and-wanted-to-make-fedi-implode.html

N=1 but outbound federation just worked for me in a post. It seems some work was done just recently including an upgrade to -rc.8.

It’s best not to think of SDF admins in binary terms like “present” or “absent”. They are an undulating force which makes changes here and there and we’re all along for the ride.

I was comparing frozen diced veggies a couple of years back (in Australia) and noticed that the store-brand version was approximately 1/3 broccoli stems by volume, which certainly explained the cost difference.

That is the discussion. Microsoft is pretending by making it the upgrade path for two products which actually are local, and hoping users won’t notice.

Honestly I’m glad they highlighted the telemetry. I went through the local report about what’s included and while it’s not an upsetting level of detail, it’s more comprehensive than I would have opted in to if asked.

Still, as sibling points out it’s in a completely different league from slurping up your IMAP creds, something which has always been local-only data. This is the second time I know of recently where MS has trampled on this kind of local-only expectation - the other was Edge defaulting to sending the contents of textboxes you’re filling out on webpages to the MS cloud for spelling and grammar checks. Thunderbird is still a sound recommendation, and unlike Microsoft, I trust that if I uncheck the telemetry box they’re not going to try to get me some other way.

It certainly is so :) https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/thunderbird-for-android-k-9-mail-september-2023-progress-report/

Can confirm - a comment I made to a lemmy.world community around an hour ago hasn’t shown up on that server yet.

Edit to add: looks like this post correlates with when I was logged out of my session, and I see we’re on a newer version than before. Probably something not quite right from the upgrade?

Nothing in tech stands still. If you want a glimpse of a possible alternative future check out Pijul. And I don’t know an example off-hand but the idea of doing version control on ASTs of program code rather than flat text is an interesting concept that hasn’t taken off yet.

I’d rather go to the local library and ask the clerk for a search term

Sounds kind of relaxing tbh
