I know what you mean, but I think private chat and public posting are quite distinct. They’d destroy a lot more trust if they sell private messages compared to what they did with Tumblr. Especially if they continue to push local bridges, where they won’t be able to read any message (you still have to trust them obviously).
Well that’s some news. If they’re good news we will see. I’m a Beeper user but never heard of Texts (stupid name) before, which seem to share the same misson as Beeper. Texts was purchased by Automattic last year (according to the Beeper blog).
What does that mean? Automattic punches with some weight in the chat space now. In general I don’t like it if big companies buy small products. However Automattic still seems to bet on the Fediverse, so maybe if the teams from Beeper and Texts can work together on a Matrix-based, open source chat application, we could get something really good.
I’ve mixed feelings about this whole thing, some shy optimizm, some less shy pessimism.
Well, time will tell.

Seems like a large link collection for now. I like that the documentation is worked on however, it’s probably Nix’ biggest weakness atm.
Appreciate it <3
(dead thread I know, but whatever)
It’s very similar, more like an evolution from Neo than a revolution. They switched a few keys and if you’re starting fresh I think I’d recommend Bone, but if you already know Neo I’m not sure switching is worth it. It could be fun though (if you consider learning a new layout fun ^^).
Hey, how’s it going? Are you still working on it?
Sorry for this huge delay, sometimes RL takes over… I don’t know how relevant it still is. I’ll try anyway.
but if there is some way for people, posts, communities, servers, to opt out then ok.
I think this could pose an issue. Many people in the Fediverse are very sensitive about informed consent — which cannot be satisfied by any opt-out mechanism. This is an issue for every bridge/search service, because with opt-in you will have way less users. I strongly recommend to go for opt-in however, you will be starkly criticized otherwise.
I’m wanting to do this open source, which means anybody can take it, remove the check and scan everything. What are your thoughts about that?
Yes, anybody could do that, or build something from scratch, but will meet strong opposition in the Fediserve, as we’ve seen more than once.
If you know how to query servers, communities, posts or comments on that topic I’m all ears, I’m only doing 50% of that today BTW.
Can’t help here, sorry.
On a side note, where is your 0xCAFE come from? Is it like the stack overflow/ memory error checks like 0xDEAD(or 0xDEADBEEF) and so?
Nope, just a nerd who likes computery stuff like hex numbers and, obviously, coffee. No technical magic number I know of (maybe there still is…?).
They’re talking too much business to be a ‘private’ search. They don’t make any effort to explain how their search is private at all (except the 90/10 share model).
Maybe you want to try the Tree Style Tabs or Sideberry extension.
oh that’s really cool!
Suuuuper late answer, sorry. It is working perfectly for me (FF 122), I’m using Firefox exclusivery. It can be slow sometimes though and take several (tens of) seconds for the web application to load.
You’re right! Even for programmers.
Very good video, which first gives an overview of NixOS and what it is and then add many useful tips for using NixOs.
I use dict.cc because they support the context menu action to look up definitions.
They can’t possibly judge what is trivial to achieve and what’s a serious, very hard problem.
For browsing on the desktop, I strongly recommend https://phtn.app!
Too often, you won’t be given time to make your software understandable. Probably almost never. So you have to incorporate a way of programming that leaves your code more understandable after you fixed your bug or added your feature.
I don’t know if understandability is the most important thing. However I certainly agree with the author that it’s curcial, if you ever want to do more than merley a script or a proof of concept.
“We’re going to clean up that code later.”
I don’t know if it does everything you need, but pinning a tab prevents it from unloading AFAIK.
This does not sound sustainable at all.
