I am someone who kinda tries to live a more healthy lifestyle, if somebody tells me there is something that is good for my health i expect some scientific research to provide evidence of that. the health industry does provide things that have no scientific evidence that they are effective (so called “big placebo” companies).
We need better funding for open source games IMO, maybe a non profit set up for that.
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.
Any update on improving Lemmy fundraising process?
KDE recently did a post where they describe the result of adding a notification asking for donations. the money they received from only paypal alone in the 7 days of December is almost 5 times higher (62K) then their biggest previous month (October 13K).
Lemmy donations are down from march to today , while piefed is having a modest organic growth . maybe this could boost development resources bringing features users have been asking for years and improve the speed of experimentation that will help perfect Lemmy’s design and feature set.
Thanks for the hard work again!
I always assumed its daily reporting of monthly active users. the nodeinfo format that is used for reporting the data does not show daily active users iirc (it is seemingly capable of reporting weekly users).
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.
FYI, its not true the 80 percent of users are on lemmy.world see here (total number of active users) and here (number of lemmy.world active users).
Also piefed as far as i know does not really support multireddits , you can’t define a feed of groups of communities as a user. piefed topics are configured by admins or the developers .
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.
fediverse observer works well , why split the efforts? if someone wants to work on this kind of thing he might as well continue developing the-federation . there was an attempt at a rewrite that seemed to have stopped. python is perceived as a better language so that might justify splitting the effort.
For profit incentives are part of what made open source successful, see red hat and Suse. From what i can tell bluesky is open source and could be forked like what happened with nextcloud and lineageos. blockchain has reasonable applications .
We could use something like codeberg for bluesky, a open source community of developers and donors that could balance the for profit entity.
Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .
I think you want to use AGPL. people can still make a closed source website out of your project due to the ASP loophole.
If you can program you can probably create an instance and then a moderation bot that bans people with more then X comments or Y posts a day. maybe that would increase the average quality of content. sounds like an interesting experiment.
I use to use old forums, i don’t think the fediverse is worst then those old systems.
I think you could just ask a one time fee when registering or a monthly fee if you want to reduce moderators burnout or increase professionalization (in the best possible sense). maybe even just have the money used and publicly donated to some non profit (or stuff like funding lemmy development). maybe having a place where people know everyone donated to achieve some worthy goal will increase the trust between people.
Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version
Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.
Sounds like a really useful project. do you have a link to the source code? (hopefully it is open source) , or a github/codeberg/whatever link? (so that people could easily submit issues). i can add it to awesome lemmy (or you can do it, its fairly easy).
software in the public interest
These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI’s own expenses.
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.
