Tha’s been my beef with GOG for years now, their utterly stubborn stance of ignoring anything besides Windows even when it’s common sense to do so

Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?

The only correction i’d do to this message is to stop calling this person “Zuck”, Mark Zuckerberg IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, stop calling these fucking bastards cutesy friend names or on a first name basis (like “Elon”, Zuck" and others like this) , they DO NOT deserve them and they WANT to be called that

And that’s one of the many reasons why we want private communications, we want no creepy megacorp listening in

It’s not gone, it has gone underground, i like this model to describe the current internet
- Comment on Forums Are Still Alive, Active, And A Treasure Trove Of Information [Aftermath] 1 month ago:
MANY of the old places of the internet are still active, heavily overshadowed by the current centralized feudal web of 5 websites all with screenshots of each other but STILL alive. Hell, even IRC is still running, and i understand so does Usenet!

- Comment on The Doom mod that turns Margaret Thatcher into an undead cyberdemon has been removed by Bethesda yet again, this time for 'disobeying a ZeniMax employee' 1 month ago:
There should be a crowdfunding to project a giant looping video of this mod in front of their offices for a year

I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn’t be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it’s what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Good and all, but as somebody mentioned on the Masto comments this shouldn’t be needed, this is taking an open JSON file and turning it into a proprietary Google-only format so that Organic Maps can import it, that feature should be on the app itself already.
Also as you’re uploading that data to a random website you’re effectively doxxing yourself as your important addresses likely will be there, your home, your workplace, etc.
- Comment on Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair 2 months ago:
Somebody was suggesting this was deliberately done to bleed Pocketpair out of money and halt development that way, patent cases take years to be solved, and all during this time they have to keep paying lawyers. Nintendo likely has a small army of in-house lawyers so it’s no trouble to them, but to their victims it’s life-ruining.

- Comment on Mozilla Firefox new alt-text generator powered by "fully private on-device AI model" 5 months ago:
I don’t want an LLM to chat with or whatever folks do with those things, i want a command i can just install, i call the binary on a terminal window with an image of some sort as a parameter, it returns a single phrase describing the image, on a typical office machine with no significant GPU and zero internet access.
Right now i cannot do this as far as i know. Pointing me at some LLM and “Go build yourself something with that” is the direct opposite of what i stated that i desire. So, it doesn’t currently seem to exist, that’s why i stated that i wished somebody ripped it off the Firefox source and made it a standalone command.

Since it’s been mentioned a lot this week because of these changes, here’s David Revoy’s guide to a fully FOSS professional digital painting setup, not perfect because many, MANY things aren’t working as they should yet (both the move to Wayland and to Appimage/Flatpak have complicated things and lots is broken), but he guides you to a setup that works today.
There’s also the option of different commercial stuff (The Affinity suite, DaVinci products, etc.), but i’m a bit biased
