  • Everyone is welcome to discuss things on !piefed_dev@piefed.social , the Zulip or Matrix groups.

    yes, but we would go back to having more sources of truth that are heavier on the devs, even because of the repetitions and scattering of the same topics

    why do you take single part of my message and answer to them like they are not part of the whole message blaze :(

    first i said that single source of truth etc and then i pointed out that the single source has not to be dev oriented, don’t answer to my second point with the issue of the first point

    Deactivitating issues there would hide visibility on the work being done and planned

    that is not true, there are a lot of kanbans and ticketing software that can be used; to be fair, i should have said deactivating the possibility to open and comment except by mantainers

    and in the system i proposed, you could still join and comment issues and features on piefed anyway (if you are not one of the piefed people)



  • I’m not sure if you are referring to some particular situations but I totally get the feeling

    Maybe it’s time to rework the issues pipeline.

    No more chats, no more zulip, no more GitHub issues

    A piefed community for feature requests and one for issues, with a bot chained to linear or similar and mods to help you without being devs or learning git etc

    Single source of truth, on your own platform :o

    P.S. and deep focus timeblocks or communication timeblocks

    to be honest, what i need is an open notion, so a lot of the stuff i want from joplin is just not gonna make it

    but, regarding the apps themselves, i for sure would like a better experience and overall polish. Even obsidian is just a note app markdown based, but the experience is just better with gestures, shortcuts, nested tags, tags sidebar and so on

    so maybe i’d say that i’d like joplin to be an open obsidian 🤔













  • It’s acceptable for some communities, not for others…

    To be fair I also don’t like the fact that “private” usually means that the server admins can still read what’s inside. I get it for images but for text…

    MLS on activitypub is very much needed

    The weakest link is the social element.

    From one sysadmin to watch, now there would be at least 2. It’s better to not give a false sense of security, so I understand why one would not federate them at all.

    Maybe “gated” communities would be better rather than private in the case you refer to



  • The public records from the companies that sell stocks are not so useful anyway.

    Obviously I’d prefer to know more about Proton spending, but the examples made in the video like “I want to know how much proton has spent on that YouTube ad” are just impossible. You can open an Apple shareholders report and check it yourself.

    Still, I’d rather have no capitalism rather than capitalism + financial transparency reports. One day they will sue you if you don’t pursuit more profit. Not gonna happen with foundations.

    edit: I misread the comment and answered like you were referring to openai and google and not mozilla and wikipedia, sorry

    It’s like saying Mozilla is a for profit or Wikipedia is a for profit.

    Having a for profit company under the non profit ownership is just to ease bureaucracy.

    This doesn’t change the fact that the ultimate owner is the foundation and so there is no shareholder to pressure etc.

    A counter argument to this could have been exploring the OpenAI case and how it’s trying to get out of the no profit model. But for some reason privacy YouTubers never make that much research into stuff… Almost like they are just earning on that engagement that you get when not being boringly nuanced :)

    The YouTuber also states that 9 privacy policies are bad and tbh Proton could probably unify some of them but the thing is that they are actually different: they said in the past, for example, that privacy laws for VPNs in Switzerland are better than those for emails, so it’s pretty ok to have 2 different privacy policies (I wonder if they could at least unifiy drive, mail calendar ones). Google can have just one because it’s simply “we gather as much data as we can” for every service they have.


  • as you sensed, it’s under the website control: readers just check the rss ‘‘file’’ and show it to you in a nice way, every now and then they check for new articles and if your readers supports it you can save the older ones as they come

    there can be also limits hardcoded in the reader that don’t let you take more than x items from a new feed but anyway the most majority of rss files just have the last y items, it’s rare that they expose everything (it would be a mess)
