At this point it's probably better to switch to Firefox or Brave.

> Your Google Account holds a lot of valuable information, from cherished photos to important emails and documents.

No, it does not. I create an account only when I'm forced to, e.g. on Google-certified Android phones, where I keep all synchronization off.

I'm eagerly waiting for official GrapheneOS phones. Pixels are a no-go for me because of the price-to-perf/quality ratio.

PS. It takes about 50 minutes to hunt down and turn off hopefully all the data grabbing features on a Samsung Android phone. Madness!

Radicle uses its own P2P protocol - Gossip. Indeed, Tangled uses the same protocol as Bluesky - ATProto. https://forgefed.org, on the other hand, is based on the ActivityPub protocol, like Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed.

This is also one of the reasons I migrated away.

Perhaps https://radicle.dev or https://tangled.org would be fine for you?

> I'll admit that their blog post [1] is more inclusive

Amongst other unwanted activities, their blog post mentions "Projects written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs". If you often chat with LLM, or ask the agent to review your changes, it's writing and maintaining the project with heavy use of LLMs too.

IMHO, this is even more restrictive and ambiguous than "projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools".

And what if a project is hand-written, but the tests are LLM-generated and then refactored by a human? Well, tests are part of a project, so it's bad too.

Also, while reading their blog post, I couldn't shake the feeling that they disdain niche single-person projects. Apparently they never intended to be a "dumping ground", as many people from their community now claim. But it's insulting to assume that when you share your small single-person project, you just "dump" something, as if it is some kind of trash by definition.

I think your impression is right, at least judging by https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware .

I have yet to see a Mastodon instance stigmatising own users, because of having no followers, though. But maybe I just haven't seen enough... Nevertheless, their instance, their rules, indeed.

Interestingly, nothing happens in my case, even after unblocking JS on their site. I suppose it's because I do block JS by default.

They warn against JavaScript being on by default and recommend using it only on trusted websites. It's a solid advice.

Looks great aesthetically and props for the author for both the theme and its homepage!

What I look for in a theme is:

    1. Being easy on the eyes.
    2. Easy distinction between different keywords etc.
    3. Good contrast.

Unfortunately, the light version of this theme succeeded in only 1. for me (I tried it in JetBrains IDEs). The background color is great, though.

The best light theme I've seen so far is Selenized for VSCodium [1] and for VS Code [2]. There's a Selenized light for JetBrains IDEs too. [3]

Congrats on the 1.0 release to the team!

I tried Zed once, but unfortunately had to give up because of:

    - constant CPU usage when idle,
    - blurry fonts,
    - low-contrast light themes.

We can only guess if it would mean war or not, but it looks like Churchill assumed it would, given he tried to campaign for taking Poland from USSR by force. I know that not only Poland was sold.

It was a horrible betrayal in both how it was done and in its outcomes. Embargoing those countries by the West, which the same West has sold to Stalin in the first place, was just a cherry on top.

Yes, that was awful. Not to mention pushing Poland into Eastern Bloc and then putting embargoes on it.

There was a version which considered leaving 15%-20% of the Polish population to be slaves, but "In 1941, the German leadership decided to destroy the Polish nation completely, and in 15–20 years the Polish state under German occupation was to be fully cleared of any ethnic Poles and settled by German colonists.[16]: 32 A majority of them, now deprived of their leaders and most of their intelligentsia (through mass murder, destruction of culture, banning education above the absolutely basic level, and kidnapping of children for Germanization), would have to be deported to regions in the East and scattered over as wide an area of Western Siberia as possible. According to the plan, this would result in their assimilation by the local populations, which would cause the Poles to vanish as a nation.[46]"

Nowhere in my comment have I cheered "the downfall of the west" or whatever. Don't put words in my mouth.

I was and am strictly addressing your defence of being arrogant.

And the parent comment has been flagged to death until now. What for?

Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego [1] indeed makes an exceptional work of walking people through the dramatic story of the Warsaw Uprising.
