Wow, it’s the first time I come across anyone who says they use joe. How does it differ from nano and micro?

Btw, I used to use dit several years ago, but swapped it for micro due to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).

Wow, these are really great updates! I especially like the improved UX around sign up and opening links on servers other than our native one.

Hear, hear, brother.

…king?

OS: Linux, Arch (btw).

FTFY

Seconded! This is one of the best books I’ve read in recent years.

I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).

But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?

IMO both of these ended up being poor names.

“Open source” can be co-opted to mean any project with public source code even if it’s not open contribution (think SQLite, and many of the projects effectively run by major tech corporations).

“Free software” falls victim to the eternal mixup with freeware, requiring the endless repetition of the “beer vs. speech” analogy.

I personally think “Libre software” is the term that best encapsulates the intended meaning while being unambiguous and not vulnerable to misinterpretation.

Damn, that seems to be flagrantly anti-competitive. Has Microsoft attempted to justify why they do that?

Uh, yeah, I do use light mode during the day, and dark mode at night. I find it a bit hard to read dark screens in daylight :)

Oh wow, I had looked into the settings but somehow I missed the theming options! 🙈

This is the default theme out of the box :)

You can download an apk from the releases page.

You’re doing it right. That’s exactly how to build momentum! 💪

Are you nerd-sniping? Cause that comment is begging for an xkcd reference 😁 → https://xkcd.com/605/

Username checks out ^(sorry for the redditism 🙈)

there’s no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.

Since beta 25 it is now possible (and the developer had mentioned before that it was coming).

Edit: I stand corrected (should have read your comment more attentively), what’s available is, as you say, the option to remove ads with a one-time payment, as well as the sync ultra subscription. I’m not sure how the ad removal option is different from the pro mode in sync for reddit, though.

Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.

In the [Italian Competition] Authority’s view, the commitments submitted by Google ensure significant automation of the procedure available for data export (Takeout). They also improve the interoperability mechanism that makes the data available in the Google ecosystem accessible to third-party platforms. Users and third-party operators will be able to make use of this mechanism until the release of a direct service-to-service portability solution, which, according to Google itself, will take place in the first quarter of 2024.

Nice! (emphasis mine)
