Maybe they could have worked on improving it, yeah, but then again that would have meant paying working wages instead of raising the salary of the CEO.

Newlines! \n! Do you speak them????

(The monkey paw turns, and) we got our wish.

We did it, internet! We killed yet another Firefox revenue stream!

From the 404media article on the subject:

The Distilled announcement post says the company made the choice to shut down these products because “it’s imperative we focus our efforts on Firefox and building new solutions that give you real choice, control and peace of mind online.” It also says the choice will allow Mozilla to “shape the next era of the internet – with tools like vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features on the way.” Which is what everyone wants: more AI bloat in their browsers.

No tan bien como yo maldiciendo el no-fin-de-semana-largo, supongo. XD

When you are [old / young] enough, Windows 95 feels like it would be retro. It's at just about that right age where it works both ways.

The attack surface yes, but not the attack volume. No matter if the app is containerized or native, it has access to the data that it has to operate to. That's literally part of computer nature.

But a containerized app, assuming the container service itself is kept up to date, has less hooks to break into other stuff than a native app does. For starters, a native app can read everything that's world-readable, which in a shared system might be lots of stuff but in a containerized app might be quite minimal.

Feliz feriado con fin de semana largo simétrico.

Two out of three. I read the post and that's exactly what the admins of F.O say will do. It's them who are stirring up shit.

Por ejemplo: Un empresa tiene varias plantas las cuales tiene varios procesos.

Una empresa tiene varias plantas las cuales tienen varios tipos de proceso. No hay una dependencia funcional directa entre la empresa y el tipo de proceso (que en vez de eso puede depender del giro: por ejemplo empresas del agro tienen ciertos tipos de procesos, empresas de transporte otros). Definitivamente M:N.

Recuerden no enfermarse. Es caro y más encima se cae el sistema.

I didn't; I just followed the line of logic you have established that the only way to be sure is if you do every step of the chain by yourself, ignoring, ya know, the entire point of society making progress.

But sure, you do you.

You don't, or you wouldn't have asked that. If your excuse to not eat food is that "it's not digested yet", that's the problem eating the food helps solve in the first place.

Or go be a chick of bird. You get pre-digested food for free.

Matrix

I think you mean XMPP! I recomend you mean XMPP.

static personal site hosting

name the thing "inline style"

Pretty good catch there!

Other than that while the overall idea sounds good, there are a few concerns, I'd like to have your feedback on these even if it's not a definitive word - sometimes, "I don't know" is the correct answer!

.it

that .it domain is kinda worrying given their recent stance on blocking or deleting parts of the internet to support the shareholders. Well, at least it's not Spain, but do keep an eye on that.

The idea is to keep it sustainable with a simple support plan (€1.90/month)

Are there any considerations towards a one-time life payment on the horizon? It's what ultimately drew me to SDF compared to the rest of the enshittifying internet, and they do provide similar services to what your roster seems to be so far.

📝 Docs and Drive via Collabora/NextCloud

May I recommend also Cryptpad? From my understanding NC+Collabora is a PITA to set up and prone to random failures (tho I would disclose the last time I tried the combo myself was on 2022). Cryptpad, while a lot simpler and less-featured, provides a leaner experience that approaches that of eg.: a pastebin.

Some comments have mentioned chat. A XMPP server, like Prosody or ejabberd, is quite cheap and simple to run compared to "nu-protocols" like Matrix, and without having to go too far back into the 90s with something like IRC. Has good support for clients across the board as well, on Linux, Android, web, etc.

Other than that the only differentiating factor I could think of offering that I have seem almost no one else do, is some sort of "math service", something like an Octave or Maxima online if such thing exists, or like what Wolfram Alpha has online, where people can run calculations, plot function graphs, perhaps with support for spreadsheets and charts too, which would also function as an alternative to google charts and the like.

Are you okay?

unless you coded it entirely yourself on an air gapped machine with your own hand crafted compiler

That implies you can trust yourself to even code a compiler in the first place.

Can you?

Then again, maybe there are ways to make that burden smaller.

Yes: encode on lower resolutions.

Most of the videos on Youtube don't ever need to be 4K. They don't even need to be 1080p. Heck, most don't even need 720p! Things like music videos, where what's important is the music, orthings like old TV broadcasts or play rips of old consoles, where the source barely gets to 360p, can be encoded to 360p or even 244p without any suffering (I played Monster Hunter on the 3DS for years and I can attest 244p can do great works of magic).

This mixes wonderfully with Peertube's idea about hosting your own instance. If you are hosting your own video storage, you'll want to maximize the amount of stuff you can throw into it. If someone complains that your videos aren't 1080p, tell them to go to /donate.php and do their part.

I think you didn't get my point. I meant in Windows I have to fight to install the printer, but in Linux I can't even do that because Linux is too good and handles the printing perfectly for me.

That said if what you are suggesting is we could create issues in relevant repos to make the hardware install process in Linux more... interactive like it is in Windows, with an assistant that tries in vain to download drivers from the internet, a "shield" that asks you to load the drivers from a floppy disk A:\ and that needs a hardware reboot every time you plug in a new USB mouse.... hmmm.... maybe you are on to something.

, but we need to come to grips with the usability issues.

That's understandable. The last time I was able to install a brand printer successfully without issues in Windows was back then in Windows 7. In comparison, Linux doesn't even let me try to install the printer. I just plug them in and they're ready and they work. How can I fix this???
