Codeberg is a nonprofit, that has a democratic “member” system and is fully funded through donations / member fees.

Codeberg has always been perfectly sane

Why are you against a sales tax?

What new features is Mint getting?

Damm, I learned a lot about Linux through this meme

Steve Bannon says this? Sorry for being cynical, but I don’t by anything that Trump’s goons say.

What most people need to understand is that a lot of politicians don’t believe in anything, except serving the interests of their donors.

Just like they didn’t do anything about the “deep state” or the prices of eggs, they will never even consider doing anything that threatens Nvidia or OpenAI.

It’s nice that the political discourse is shifting, but don’t expect anyone who is currently in power to help you in this fight

I am a huge believer in free software and researched a bit if there was any open source social media.

I found out the Fediverse was a pretty successful attempt at this and now I am active mostly on piefed and Mastodon.

Contrary to most people here, I don’t have a huge gripe with Reddit, that I wouldn’t have with any other corporate owned social media. I am here mostly because I believe in this project and want to see it evolve. I don’t simply see it as a Reddit / Twitter alternative.

You could also consider donating it to the projects you are hosting. Because developing that software still takes a lot of labour and these devs really need it

I have a used ThinkPad T460, I found a really nice deal for on eBay (90€).

It serverves me pretty well I mostly watch videos on it (works pretty well up to 1080p on Youtube), but it’s fine for most things, web browsing, editing documents and even coding.

I used it during a game jam with my friends, we were making a 2d game in Godot and it was good enough for that. I am running Linux Mint on it, it is a miracle what Linux can do for your old machines.

Other than that, old surface pros are pretty good nowadays and the 5th/ 6th generation can be found for 150€ if you are lucky. They also have excellent Linux support if you get the right kernel patches .

But I would probably recommend you try out Linux on your existing Laptop and see how it works for you. M2 support is pretty good nowadays for Asahi Linux. Maybe get an external drive for that money.

I think both statements are true at the same time

This seems a bit sketchy to me. How am I getting paid for participating when it’s completely free?

That was an awesome read, thank you!

Oh, that worked, thank you!

Maybe you could implement the search suggestions URL into the OpenSearch (because at least when I added it via right click add search engine, it only added the search URL), but that could be an error on my part.

Also, I am just curious, where do you get the search suggestions from? Do you just query one of the engines?

I’ve installed this on my home server and I must say, I am quite impressed!

It just feels so much snappier than SearXNG, I think the loading “animation” helps with that a lot. I also love the whole plugin system, there is already a lot available, maybe in the future, if I have a good idea, I will make one myself.
I was a bit skeptical about the AI thing at first, but at least you are transparent about it and your stance seems to be reasonable.

If you want some suggestions on what to work on in the future, it would be cool, if there was a search suggestion api URL, I could add to Firefox to have search suggestions in my address bar. Also maybe bangs to only search with a certain engine, like in SearXNG.

Thank you for all the work you already put into this, looking forward to future updates!

They are talking about the file explorer Dolphin, which is available on Linux and Windows.

But it is a core app for the KDE desktop environment, so it is primarily optimized for Linux.

Yeah, not really.

Especially because this is FOSS. We love our insanely long discussions about formalities.

The great thing about git is, that it is pretty decentralized in principle (everyone has a full copy of all source code and commits on their machines), so it is pretty easy to move your whole repository to an alternative git hoster, like Codeberg.

Damm, that is a long thread, I spent like 25 minutes reading it and only got half way through it

You could also just not use these services. You don’t need them. They were a stupid idea to begin with.

I would recommend you buy a Pixel phone and install GrapheneOS on it, if you want to continue to be able to do what you want with your phone.

It’s in Googles best interest to lock this down even further, so we should try to just not rely on their software anymore
