Never tried it on desktop, only mobile, but Organic Maps is really good and has a desktop version

Cool project! Theres a p2p chat protocol called tox, maybe you’d like to implement it in WASM etc. instead of making a competing standard? That would really help establishing p2p messaging, and you’d get a userbase included!

I tried to use gnunet multiple times over the years. It always had wierd routing problems, the worst was their filesharing, it literally never worked. You cant find files that are definitely on the network, and if by some miracle you do find something, it fails to download it. 20 years of development and its an unfinished buggy mess. I hope they finally fix it sometime, cause its a really great idea, just executed horribly.

its a proprietary license btw, just free to use for non commercial uses. Earlier SD versions were actual open source.

Well, to run with your analogy, I prefer things to be recyclable then to just throw them away.

I agree with you - to a point. The linux kernel is too big and complex to understand all of it as a single person. However, its critical software. Meaning, we are not depending on some nerd to find a bug anymore. There are companies that look through critical code to check for security issues.

Now imagine I made some somewhat popular open source server software that saved passwords in plaintext. Chances are good, that by sometime next week ill have someone on the internet scream at me for that. With proprietary software, no one is coming.

(Maybe at the next code review, someone will say something, but proprietary software does not imply me working at a corporation, and corporation does not imply the software having to be closed source)

Open source does not guarantee 100% secure software, but it does make obvious lapses in judgement much less likely. And sometimes, there IS a nerd who will look through the code because they wanted a feature, and finds a critical bug. Like the person that found the xz backdoor. The chance for that happening with closed source is zero.

yeah well thats hyperbola, they are generally known to be extreme to the point of nonsense. If you want a good free-software only distro try guix. They apparently have the third largest software repo in existence. They have an unofficial non-free repo too.

A lot of drivers for hardware are actually not open source, just unreadable binaries that do …something. No one knows exactly how they work, so some people consider them a security risk.

I think its because the linux kernel is GPL2, not the modern GPL3 like most free software, so I think thats why some components are allowed to be non-free. Not sure though.

So, that practice violates the spririt of free software. So some distributions have those components removed. Its safer, but you may lose functionality, depending on what computer components you have.

Its an important project, and judging by the other comments here, underappreciated.

Isnt that just… stealing? I mean, if that works, then im opening a fast food chain with a t&c you have to sign that legally allows me to take all your posessions…

Yes, there is a jar file on the main website that works just fine. Also i2pd is in the tumbleweed repo.

Keine Verbreitung von Gerüchten und Propaganda? Ich weis, gegen wen die Regel gerichtet ist(Russland Trolle), aber das ist so vage formuliert, dass es quasi alle “Ich hab gehört, dass…” formulierungen verbietet. Vielleicht könnte man das noch genauer festlegen bzw. streichen, nachdem sowas eh unter “Verbreite keine Falschinformationen” fällt?

It works by partition I think.

Do you have btrfs? It might be time to rollback until an update fixes the issue.

I have many DE’s installed right now and I never encountered any problems because of it, these issues sound really bizarre. With the cinnamon thing it sounds like cinnamon mangles something while running, but you would still have this problem if you only ever installed cinnamon, so… ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

I recommentd ext4. Its extremely stable and easy to manage. Btrfs, zfs etc. is overkill for a pure data drive imo.

Da muss ich widersprechen. Ekelhaftes Zeug wird wie du schon erwähnst eh schon gelöscht, also geht es jetzt nur um Dinge die der Betreiber der Website weniger schlimm findet, aka copyright. Sowas wie Kinderpornos als Grund angeben finde ich auch nicht korrekt, denn da ist fast überall der Besitz und Verbreitung eh schon höchst Illegal, also würde diese Verordnung nichts daran ändern. Mit dem Ende von Geoblocking werden also meiner Meinung nach nur DMCA’s gestärkt.

Ausserdem glaube ich nicht, dass der Betreiber der Website viel differenzierter agiert wie Europäische Gerichte, weil wenn der eine Anwaltsdrohung kriegt, wird er nicht lange rumzanken, ausser natürlich er ist außerhalb Europäischen Rechtsbereich, womit sperren wieder geeigneter wären.

Weiters sind prophylaktische Sperrungen auch nicht so häufig. Das muss noch immer durch die 9 Kreise der Bürokratie durch bevor etwas passiert. Ob am Ende des Bürokratischen Prozesses geblockt oder gesperrt wird macht da glaube ich keinen Unterschied mehr. Und wie gesagt, Dinge wie die linksunten Takedowns werden noch immer passieren.

Aber wenn man statt sperren Löschungen verlangt, ändert das ja nichts daran, es verschlimmert doch nur die Verbote? Immerhin gibt es keine extra Checks, nur weil man jetzt noch härter vorgeht?

Ja, ich hab dreist geglaubt sie seien pro Softwarepiraterie, wegen dem Namen. Welp
