they are the most exceptionalist ellististe agreable and push-over nation in the whole earth. don’t forget they are still a proud monarchy.

my concern is what if after all the hassle the next bank pulls the same act ? and the next one !

they have moved most of the features to the app, the web portal is very bare bone.

very hard to change the bank when alot of payment accounts are linked to it.

they have moved most of the features to the app the web portal is very barebone.

I did, doesn’t change a thing, I have no power to influence what they add into their app

The USA is in panic mode, they thought they could undermine China’s development just like they did with ball-sucking Europe, now there is a need for other nation to come up with their own models, and show the US they should stop underpinning monopolies.

If an instance doesn’t want to grow they turn off new sign-ups, some growth might help instances stay afloat, as not only it might help with more donations, but also signal to the maintainers that there is appreciation for their work.

there is a protocol used by HubZilla called zot, it allows for true nomadic identities. where you can even login to your account from any instance.

I don’t think ActivityPub (Protocol that links all mastodon, Pixelfed, lemmy, peertube instances) developpers have any interests in implementing that, or it isn’t so high in their priorities, also to note that ActivityPub developpment has stagnated since its early releases.

Capitalize, meaning to translate those new sign-ups into monthly active user, buy doing a better job at exposing the potential of the fediverse and easing up the exploration process of interesting content.

I know about Microsoft patent, I am not sure whether MS does license it to other software makers as it is very wide spread from big companies like Autodesk to smaller ones like NirSoft. I think they just made the patent to camp on it and intimidated big players with it, the opensource OnlyOffice do ship the Ribbon and they haven’t faced any trouble for it so far.

Do you know how many forks of mastodon there are and how many died, because they can’t compete against the network effect of the master project ?

on their website’s roadmap section it says it is planned. I don’t know how much work has been done on that. mean while Mastodon’s userbase is dwindling, and it hasn’t been able to capitalize on the many waves of exodus and twitter controversies for over two years now

That’s an aucorrenct feature that has been shipped with MS Word for as long as I can remember.

MS Word is one of the most used software il the planet, I believe Microsoft has enough data on why the majority of people want that. what I don’t get is why software with smaller userbases think they know better (ie sometimes they do). Or why LibreOffice is so stubborn on keeping the menu bar default instead of the ribbon-bar, I am not inconvenienced by changing it once and for all, but I know many people who ould nope out at first sight and never give LO a second chance ever again .

By we he means, them and their wealthy friends, and the celebrities they paraded during the last campaign. Struggling people can eat dirt.

Mozilla keeps digging Firefox’s grave, and seeing how other opensource projects like Gimp struggle to even keep up with their own release schedule and very slow development rate. I fear we will be left with only chrome to use.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian “.ru” domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

I wasn’t referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can’t chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.

don’t be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, …etc

So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia’s FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.

I took full advantage of invidious while it was still working, now I am anxious of ever going back to YouTube. It won’t be long before they requiring giving them your iris scan before watching a video on that shit platform.
