We can go further

Things can be good from the consumption side. But the developers are often working long extra hours to make that happen. If we want to escape capitalism ever, we need to think of the human element.

I would love to see a non-proprietary desktop music player. Just something simple that I can listen to my MP3s with. Audacity is great, but it’s a PITA when it comes to casual listening.

/s. As sbv Said in another comment, I think it’s best to join an existing project. Loops has potential to rival TikTok but it’s still not in a state I would use.

Edit: I could have placed the /s a bit better to flag my surreal sense of humour. I was joking about FOSS lacking a desktop music player, because there seem to be hundreds of them. I use Audacity for editing, not listening to mp3s :)

Because it isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough and my favourite now. And they are the only consumer tech company I know of having such a positive impact on the environment worldwide.

I had stopped using it for the same reason. I think this new initiative is a way to make it easier, but as you say, consistency is the other issue.

But doesn’t Leta use Bing as it’s backend also?

It seems like a good alternative so some of the most popular engines. I think I’ll stick with Ecosia, since on top of being EU based, they also make the world a better place.

I could really use some of these. There’s a video showing what they look like for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUxcMQ4MKK4&pp=ygULRHVtYndhcmUuaW8%3D

I wouldn’t consider DeepSeek open source. A few weeks ago when it would discuss this subject freely with me (it doesn’t anymore), it described keeping some of the most important parts private but the rest being open source. It’s not really open source if it’s only partial because you can’t reproduce it yourself in the same way.

Someone suggested the term ‘open weight’ might be a more honest term. “Open source” has really caught on though.

The tiananmen square massacre did not happen after 2023, and it denies this. So I think your idea has already been disproven by users of DeepSeek. I use it myself, but I’m not under the illusion that these things are more pure than the people who create them.

This used to be a great feature for vintage computers. If the machine had internet, you could search with HTTP site instead of HTTPS.

The alternatives listed here might not require JS, but most if not all of them require SSL. Vintage computers struggle to support that. Anyway, Google is best avoided when possible so hopefully an alternative surfaces .

Yeah, I’m using Amperify app (iOS) and it’s great. I’m very happy with my choice of Navidrome now.

More accurate headline: ‘Israel’ to automate indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.

I’m planning on porting my Wordpress site to this. I haven’t used it yet but based on what I’ve read it will be easier than Hugo.

I never got the email either so I’m curious too. I’ll save this post.

That sounds even easier :)

Thanks 🙏

Thank you, that’s very clear. I appreciate it!

Thank you, this sounds promising.

I haven’t used an authenticator so this might be a basic question, but: when you say to share the code, do you mean each time we need to authenticate? Most of us keep our phones on silent so we mightn’t be good candidates for that.

Thank for the helpful reply. I don’t have the email option but as a last resort I could explore Google Voice options in the EU.
