  • [Help Design Lemmy] How to improve the Joinlemmy Donation page?

    Jump

  • That is true, but not so easy to do. To make donation pages like those in your link would require setting up some kind of nonprofit and directly handling credit card payments with some payment processor

    Shouldn't it be a good idea anyway to set up a limited liability company at some point anyway? in case you will get sued.

  • [Help Design Lemmy] What is a good text for the donation dialog in Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Just add a timeout you have to wait before pressing, say 10-30 seconds.

  • Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative?

    Jump

  • shlinkedin \s

    seriously i am not sure if linkedin is more insightful then linkedin.

  • MeroChat is a open source website that helps you to find people to chat with

    Jump

  • The only thing certain is death and taxes . but unlike for example omegle and it's successors you have to register so if it will be detected that it is a LLM it could be banned (eventually people will find out because LLM are not that good). Also i assume someone will have a incentive to do that so eventually it will try to get someone money or something like that and will probably get banned.

    You can also say the same thing for every platform you communicate with people like lemmy . you might even wonder if a for profit company might have better resources to detect bots.

  • Fish 4.0: The Fish Of Theseus

    Jump

  • Openhub also says it’s “mostly written in javascript”.

    Probably because the website site is listed as one of the repositories.

  • MeroChat - Open Source Random Chat

    Jump

  • You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

    Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don't think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can't think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

    But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.

  • Fish 4.0: The Fish Of Theseus

    Jump

  • I don't want to start a holy war. but they say it should bring more contributors and a more fun programming language should mean more contributions but contribution metrics on openhub show no meaningful improvement IMO.

  • MeroChat - Open Source Random Chat

    Jump

  • Written in PureScript

    Using a purely functional niche language like that will really prevent good developers from contributing IMO.

    Wayland design principles - Pekka Paalanen

    Jump

  • Yeah, but i think any programmable system should allow low level constructs if the high level constructs are not enough.

    iirc this caused serious problems with wine because the API of windows requires setting coordinates.

  • Plan 9 Newsgroup is Revived (comp.os.plan9)

    Jump

  • Where is the source code used for the newer plan 9 development? (the foundation said they are participating in google summer of code).

  • A different way to fund freedom-respecting software

    Jump

  • You can a expectation of positive outcomes using optimized wording when asking for donations (and ideally A/B testing it), seems to work ok for wikipedia and thunderbird. also regarding fatigue maybe you could have a platform that allows "transferring" your vote to a certain individual or even a organisation (maybe adding support for governance models like the feature voted on the most by a specific group of users).

  • Recommended Resource: Libre Game Wiki

    Jump

  • We need better funding for open source games IMO, maybe a non profit set up for that.

  • RSS pleasantly surprised me

    Jump

  • I like RSS, i think it can improve the information diet people have by getting high quality content. kinda an alternative to more popular content (meaning possibly low effort) pushed to us using algorithms or just created to appeal to the masses because it is more economical.

    It does have a UX problem, i think we need some open source project where you click on a button and it will show you the RSS address but also give you the option to set up RSS while it coaches you to do it in a way that is kinda pleasant and easy.

  • First Router Designed Specifically For OpenWrt Released

    Jump

  • I don't know if it could be cheaper , it probably could be cheaper because if it will be more popular prices will drop (Economies of scale) , but i am afraid there will always be a price premium for FOSS friendly hardware because companies are losing their competitive advantage by giving away some of the work they do for free.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?

    Jump

  • Reminder: Microsoft GitHub social media likes is not an accurate barometer of much. Starhacking is a thing & it tells you nothing of the code quality

    Its funding track record is also pretty good it seems . no indication can prove a project is high quality, but it can help in deciding what to check out.

  • Add "mark as read" option for posts and comments

    Jump

  • There is a open issue , the developers talked about it but no one pulled the trigger on it, this can be implemented on the client in a way that is pretty good (you could create client side backups using something like dropbox). We could open more issues on the various lemmy clients and maybe even piefed which seems to prioritize feature development in a way that might be better then lemmy developers currently. you can already read the comments on piefed and then subscribe to the posts and incrementally read new comments.

  • Fortunate: A Modern Motivational App for Linux

    Jump

  • Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .

  • I'm building a Community powered Duolingo-like App

    Jump

  • I think you want to use AGPL. people can still make a closed source website out of your project due to the ASP loophole.
