Not just with itself, also with other elements. Say, you won’t find pure iron in the wild either, because normally it reacts with oxygen so well.

But yea oxygen needs to pair with something because its outer electron shell is incomplete. So pairing with another oxygen atom is likely, but also with whatever else is available - nitrogen, iron, whatever.

Most elements are found in molecules really, with the exception of noble gasses like Helium. And some are less reactive than others.

I’m gonna pick your brain in a couple months.

If you want to contribute to someone else’s code, you should familiarise yourself with their values or plans before writing code. Can’t expect them to accept any contribution without question.

Otherwise, fork the project and make your own version.

What the fuck. This is getting reality stupid. Not even an announcement that I can see.

This Fediverse thing is turning out reaaaaaally well.

Politics is an example of when something is so fucked up and tragic, you can do nothing but laugh.

I just want it shortened to a non-clickbait headline. And then a version shortened to about a 1/4rd length, as that’s usually the ratio of information to fluff in written articles.

In lots of places other people do the compilation and thus guarantee the build, like in Linux distros or F-Droid.

Microsoft is using malware-like Windows 11

Removed fluff

I always get paranoid when I notice an app I use having unusual updates.

Example: The gallery app for Android I use, F-Stop, used to post infrequent updates with changelog only stating “stability updates” and such, or nothing. Then a few months ago they started posting quite major feature updates with detailed log. I freaked out if they weren’t bought up or something, so I stopped updating and just watched for a few months. So far so good.

But ya know, moral of the story - use open source whenever possible. FOSS community is very vigilant and vocal about such things. It’s not bulletproof, but there’s a much better peace of mind with foss apps, it’s quite crazy.

The proprietary app stores claim how their corporate bullshit is the only secure way to get reliable apps, while in reality it’s the exact opposite.

Ah yea I don’t know why I didn’t see them before when I installed it… Weird. Thx

Lovely, but no widget support… Is there any foss weather app with good widget selection? I tried a bunch from F-Droid a while ago and didn’t find any.

It works differently on top/day, and top/6 or 12 hours have other differences still, like how they handle showing seen posts and such. It’s not consistent so you can hardly say what is expected. I’m not filing bugs because it’s not the end of the world and devs have other things to do, but yea it is odd.

Sometimes it starts loading more when I scroll some way up and then back down. My guess is, the app is very prone to “network errors” and when it encounters one while scrolling, it gives up.

It’s not the only app or website with this problem… Damn scripts.

But I think there’s also something about Lemmy here. For example, when browsing “top/hour” posts, at some point it stops loading as if there’s a hard limit.

• you open your code under a licence that means other people can use it, that means other people can use it

• reporting a bug is not demanding free labor

Like how do you think this is supposed to work?

A) That everyone who wants to use open source stuff needs to be a programmer and contribute?

B) That if someone posts code under GPL or some other licence permitting commercial use, that it’s not permitting commercial use anyway?

C) That you need to pay to report a bug?

Come on. If the dev wants to only fix particular things and wants payment for fixing other things, fine, but don’t say this is the only way foss should work.

Sounds good.

Back in the day, my shaver broke so I looked online for a new one. Bought one, and afterwards I had ads for nothing but electric shavers. It was so friggin bizarre, like reading some random article and getting 6 ads for shavers. That’s when I finally started using adblock.

I wish there were such detectors for other triggering stuff, like gore, or creepy insects, or any visual based phobia. Everyone just freaks out about porn.

Check with any film school, I’m sure you’ll find people that will kill for an opportunity to make a movie someone else funds. Either students or indie filmmakers.

Alternatively, there are porn studios that do customs. Obviously they tend to have specific skillsets, but who knows.

As people mention, there’s a bunch of them. I’ll also add the Simple Mobile Tools phone project. And Divest OS.

Wow I see it completely differently. We’re all just a step of being in a shit situation, including prison. As an ex-taxi driver who’s been pointlessly harassed by cops many times, I keep wondering how far I was from just snapping one day. Actually I downright fantasise about it sometimes.

Guess it can work as a guilty pleasure… But I’ll stick to playing stupid NDS games and such.
