Noone was technically allowed to use it

There is your answer. draw.io can be used by everyone and for almost every purpose, so the situations aren’t even remotely the same.

syncthing also relies on a web server for device discovery, it’s just that you’re probably using someone else’s server instead of hosting your own.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I also think that Vaultwarden itself doesn’t have access to the unencrypted password database. In that sense it’s E2EE similar to KeePass, the only difference being that KeePass is a desktop app and Vaultwarden a web app.

Nothing, this is not about that.

This change gives you the guarantee that .internal domains will never be registered officially, so you can use them without the risk of your stuff breaking should ICANN ever decide to make whatever TLD you’re using an official TLD.

That scenario has happened in the past, for example for users of FR!TZBox routers which use fritz.box. .box became available for purchase and someone bought fritz.box, which broke browser UIs. This could’ve even been used maliciously, but thankfully it wasn’t.

Being in alpha and having breaking changes is fine, the question is how many. My impression is that Immich seems to introduce breaking changes far more frequently than what people might be used to from other projects.

And that does go back to professionalism: The better you plan ahead, the fewer breaking changes you have to impose on your users.

Minio now describes itself as “S3 & Kubernetes Native Object Storage for AI” - lol

Guess it’s time to look for alternatives if you’re not doing ML stuff

Wait till you find out what Russia and China are doing on Facebook

…what? SpaceX is years behind schedule for delivering crewed space flight to NASA. US tax payers have had to cough up billions of dollars for seats on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to at least be able to get to space somehow in the meantime.

Iterating and failing is okay, but SpaceX has neither been faster nor cheaper in doing so than NASA’s original moon landing program.

They missed April fools by about a month

I wouldn’t call criticism of their strategic focus “shitting on” Nextcloud. It obviously still does a lot of things right or at least right enough to be useful and relevant to many people, or else we wouldn’t be discussing it. But it has its issues and many of them have been unadressed for a long time, so why shouldn’t people voice their displeasure with that?

I’m skeptical given how confident many recent AI models are at making wrong claims. Fact checking seems to be a rather poor use case for current AI models IMO.

The link doesn’t explain what Taler is, you then also have to click through to the home page. How hard can it be to add literally a single sentence like

Taler is a payment system that makes privacy-friendly online transactions fast and easy.

FTFY

There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver

Depending on how one defines the “initial development” phase, those projects are actually conforming to semver spec:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card)

FWIW, Debian 12 now includes non-free firmware in the installation media by default and will install whatever is necessary.

I agree that the Debian website has its weaknesses, but beyond finding the right installer (usually netinst ISO a.k.a small installation image on https://www.debian.org/distrib/) there isn’t much of a learning curve. I started out with Ubuntu too, but finally decided that enough was enough when snap started breaking my stuff on desktop.

I guess the snarky headline might’ve been a bit too much for some people

Thanks, didn’t know about those deals!

+1 for own domain and some email hosting service. That also makes it pretty easy to switch providers because you can simply point your MX records etc. somewhere else - no need to change the actual email address.

I can also recommend mailbox.org as an alternative to mxroute, they’re even a little cheaper at $3/month (mxroute is $49/year at minimum).

Lawmaking is a slow and tedious process full of compromises, and the EU is apparently the only governmental body that cares enough to actually do something against the wild west of digital tracking. I for one am happy about that, and contrary to public opinion the GDPR is actually being enforced (albeit not strictly enough).

So I guess it’s better to be stuck in a traffic jam together because there’s one car per person?
