Same with cycling. Earlier this year, in June, Leah Wilcox's attempt at setting the record for circumnavigating the globe by bike with support was interrupted by the heat wave that hit Europe. She already holds the record for the unsupported circumnavigation and as far as I know she was more or less on track of surpassing Mark Beaumont's record of 78 days and change.

lack of monetization

I mean, when you spin your own instance, because frankly, that's what the best option if you're a content creator, you can put whatever ads and monetization strategies you want. So basically the full income that gets generated gets to you, instead of splitting it with some third party that invests minimal effort. Yes, you'll have to pay someone to maintain and upkeep the server, but assumedly the people that can make the change will take that cost into account.

a big corporation that can pay big creators million-dollar deals to make the switch.

I'm surprised by this. Isn't controlling your full production/distribution/revenue a good enough payback?

A Windows binary is just more portable, more stable long term, and a better experience.

I must preface this by saying that I'm not a game dev, but the Steam Runtime SDK has been offering stable versioned targets for linux for close to a decade now. Porting to one of them shouldn't be more difficult than porting to any other console specific SDK.

Sadly I don't see that happening. Game devs have gotten used to having their cake and eating it too by developing for Windows and using Proton as a crutch to get the the Steam OS certification too. flibitijibibo was right: linux porters have probably gone out of business.

I solved this by building Web Components out of them. Basically the HTML needs just a custom template tag, which includes a script with the JSON-LD payload. The component corresponding to the template, initializes itself based on that data. See here for an example: https://releases.bruta.link/releases/2026/June/21

Granted, all of this is not for SEO purposes, but part of the ActivityPub ecosystem, which also uses JSON-LD for data encoding.

I'm pretty sure that the way speedrunners get their fast times are by either anticipating, or more likely, by finding an earlier trigger event that correlates, and allows them to hit the frame perfect timing.

In central Europe I have at least one shop that sells loose leaf tea in walking distance, and multiple ones in ordering range but still local(ish). Prices per 100 grams are about twice as gourmet coffee, but you use less quantity so it lasts longer. So check your neighbourhood internet. :)

Listenbrainz has a page that allows you to fetch your history from last.fm, and knowing them, the scraper is probably open-source.

Haha, have you tried that? I think in this day and age marketing is much needed activity even for open-source projects providing quality solutions to problems.

The electronic ID hosts a cryptographic key that can be used through some sort of hardware device in order to generate QR codes, or whatever that are linked to the user's official identity...

The public part of the identity (which in our example it was enrolled at bank account opening) can be used by the server that checks the QR code to see if it actually belongs to the correct account owner.

"fascism" has a pretty well defined meaning, which is not whatever the EU would become if something like chat control ever passes. Towards totalitarianism, sure, but again not all totalitarianism is fascism. I wish people would stop using le mot du jour as a replacement for everything in an subconscious need to increase others' engagement.

Migrating to the EU 4 months ago

Wasn't Proton launched as a "your data is encrypted at rest, we could never access it without your consent"? The implication being that even if they received said court orders, they didn't have anything to give. Am I misremembering that?

Migrating to the EU 4 months ago

Didn't proton fold like a wet napkin when they were asked for information about their users? What I mean is: Switzerland as a whole is probably the wrong metric...

My situation is unusual, and it exists inside a capitalist economy, a partial shelter rather than an escape.

Frankly, I find it pretty saddening that "code as craft" is such a outlier sentiment for developers. At least here on HN, I rarely see people discuss code as anything but a means to an end, where the end is making yourself, but mostly others, rich.

I doubt that anyone could categorize the manosphere phenomenon as philosophy. Without empathy you can't really have philosophy. Or, at least not the kind that you can take seriously.

What I was trying to tell you with my original reply to you is that Jolla chose a different point on the free/pramatic curve of available SoCs. They selected a phone that's more likely to be used by average people rather than a fully open one. (You can still see in this very thread, complains about the high price for what it offers, showing they haven't fully succeeded, at that.)

Pointing out that they still rely on Android drivers for booting the thing is a little tone-deaf from my perspective when they're basically choosing a different path towards a similar goal to Purism and other alternative mobile vendors: higher availability of non Google, non Apple mobile devices. Perfect is the enemy of good and all that. And like I explained the reason for their choice is not nefarious but a pragmatic one.

That wasn't modern when they released it in 2020. Jolla chose a little more pragmatism for their hardware in the hope that they actually sell phones to other people than 100% open-source purists. I find it funny when dudes like you go all "well awkshwally" on them...
