Although I understand if you don’t wish to stop using git.

Building from source is the opposite of hacky. It’s the recommended way to deal with things like this where you are concerned about trust and security. I understand that it’s not something you’ve done before, but it not as complicated as it sounds. There are many tutorials on how to build programs from source.

I understand that providing official packages for fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distro packages along with a flatpack and Appimage would make a lot of sense, but for whatever reason, signal has decided not to. Perhaps you can message the signal team to ask why they choose not to do this.

I like the ethos behind Purism, I was worried they wouldn’t be profitable at all. I hope this is enough profitablity to attract greater investment to grow and create economies of scale and lower the retail price and reduce lead times to be in line with the rest of the market.

Mp3 is a proprietary format on copyright. Some idiot ceo can came and change the rules, let’s add an ads mandatory for each decoder.

This is not true. Copyright is not relevant to an encoding standard. The standard has been unchanged for 26 years and all legal claims of patent rights related to implimentations of the standard have expired before May 2017.

@swooosh@lemmy.world you should probably know about this as well.

I’m very confused about what your requirements are based on reading your post and some of your responses to comments, but I’m going to suggest that you look into Quarto

Ghost has integration with Gumroad

Every job has parts that you don’t like. You need to learn the skills that you get paid to use or find someone to pay you for the skills you have.

Linux is as frustrating to someone that has built up a skill set with Windows centric knowledge base.

You can use this as an opportunity to have a conversation about what it is about those movies that she likes. This could open up to a larger conversation where you can connect and grow your relationship as mother and child. Or she might just say something vague and simple and you can ignore the movies while they sit in a separate library.

I try to be positive here on programming.dev but someone gave you an incredibly thoughtful reply and you returned the favor with absolute disrespect. I think the only positive outcome here would be for me to simply block you and encourage others to do the same.

I’m going to throw this out there not being sure how true it is, but I find it interesting to think about.

XMPP is much more widely used than Matrix if you count WhatsApp (Meta/Facebook). ActivityPub is much more widely used than AT Protocol and nostr combined if you count Threads (Meta/Facebook). So reasons why people aren’t talking about XMPP include not wanting to recognize that Meta is hugely influential in this space and that most people don’t talk about the underlying protocols of the services and tools they’re use at all leaving a self selected group of people looking for alternatives with traction that don’t depend on Meta. Outside of WhatsApp, there’s not a lot of traction with any particular XMPP implementation. And none of the XMPP implementations have a Discord-ish organization of chat rooms that’s popular and familiar right now. Matrix has both right now (although I don’t think it will ever be more than a small niche in the mobile messaging space).

I’m fine with using Matrix for what it is. There are programming language communities that have been very helpful for me and a number of Lemmy related communities that have been nice to be a part of.

I haven’t looked into all of its features but it’s worth looking at.

Does Linkwarden fit your intended use?

Hetzner Server auction worth it?

Continue enjoying!

Podman supports Docker images and makes things easier for users in doing so.

It cuts both ways. Less commercial interest means only hobby level development (which can be high quality, but is typically slow and unpolished for users).

So you can spend your energy on making up the gap between the ease of use of the commercially supported software and the pure volunteer projects or you can have free time for things you’re more interested in and jump ship when they squeeze too hard for cash.

What makes it make sense in a work environment?

There’s really nothing worth spending your time with for verbal language learning when it comes to free and open source software. In fact, most software isn’t worth your time.

iTalki can be good for finding you a tutor and having video chats.

Pimsleur is good for solo instruction and practice.

YouTube is good for tips from other language learners and finding immersive content (i.e. content from native speackers in another language).

None of this is libre software.
