Is nothing about NNW, is just that I was very confortable with the way nextnews presented things, which is more like a stream in which you can “mark read while scrolling” (checking ~100 entries a day, but not interested on reading all of them, is very useful).

oh, Ghost is cool :)
Not sure how much can use it, but indeed it feels like a great platform (maybe too much for some small posts :P)
I’m liking them! even if they do not seem very alive (still, blogging itself is not the most “alive” activity around nowadays…)

Technology@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden Echoes Richard Stallman's Warnings On Proprietary Software After User Says 'Adobe Can Not Be Trusted'
16·2 years agoso… just to be on point. On which part your arguments are related, to sustain or deny, this:

Because all the rest, is just not an argument.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden Echoes Richard Stallman's Warnings On Proprietary Software After User Says 'Adobe Can Not Be Trusted'
32·2 years agoHe is at Rusia because Europe denied him passage when he was traveling to south-america. And of course, he benefits the fact that Rusia and the US are not in good terms. But… how in earth that makes him accountable by the acts of the government of the country he lives in? That’s just a falcious argument (ad-hominem), not a real fact. Where, in which acts, what actions he did to “collaborate” with “one of the most brutal fucked regimes currently and historically”? Is like saying you as american citizen (if you are), are directly accountable for all the “brutal and fucked up” actions your government does and supports along the world. But this is not technology, is politics… in what this article is important for this comunity is that a remarkable known specialist on security endorses what we (supporters of FOSS way of doing things, that includes Stallman, on which we could have also a lot of other difference, but not on that) have been saying during years.
Oh, I agree with that (I use a selfhost solution -gitea- myself). I was just pointing to what I think is the current situation and why is like that :)
Well, keeping an infrastructure like github is very expensive. Other solutions like gitlab are no real solution as gitlab itself is also not completely FOSS. Codeberg is a relatively new kid in the block, and sustainability in the long term is still not proven. Gitea/Forjego requires you to selfhost your repositories and that’s something not everybody can afford/take the time to do.
So, we have a situation of a standard de facto, when one company took the space and constitued a monopoly, forcing the users to use it or be invisible otherwise.
So, there you have the reason: visibility in a market dominated by just one actor.
How to fight this situation? There is no much way as individuals, a partial solution is to use a FOSS solution and then mirror on github for visibility. Of course this is limited as individual solutions wont change collective problems, but FOSS groups doing the same are no longer individuals but communities so with time we may have a way to get out…EDIT: s/go/get

Open Source@lemmy.ml•I made an app to install websites as desktop applications on Linux
2·2 years agolol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself. Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜


it would be great if it could connect also with freshrss (no idea how hard would that be… but I was very happy with it and I would love to continue using it) :)
