Hm, if you're willing to compromise on that janky text editor, there's still Jekyll, Hugo and all the other static site generators. Most will have some easy WP site import.
Bear in mind, I don't pretend to be a cool kid...
For a solution that's entirely online (ie. you aren't relying on a bunch of files on your local machine that you generate a site out of and upload), there are flat file websites like Grav, Bludit and Yellow. They are (usually PHP) sites that run without a traditional database.
There are also a couple of ActivityPub alternatives, but they seem to be floundering(?) Plume is currently not developed actively, and I just heard on here the other day that WriteFreely doesn't federate properly for some users. Take the latter with a grain of salt, though.
Oh, and Ghost just added ActivityPub, so there's one more to that list!
Sounds about right. I'm fine with just cracking and separating a couple of eggs.
Scratching my head over this as well. Yes, it might diminish casual discovery uptake that the app isn't in the Play Store, but for this target group I think most users would be comfortable downloading the app from Fdroid.
The larger issue with closing down the entire project including notification servers(!?) is probably a tell that there have been other factors weighing on the developer?
Either way, if the source code is openly available maybe others will pick up development in a way that isn't as vulnerable to corporate policy changes.
We have all been sucked in by those videos circulating online of “My $200 Shein Haul” or “Everything I bought for less than $5 from TEMU Review”
Um, no.
But I'm sure the fashion industry is just loving that there are commercial operators with even worse practices, making the constant seasonal churnout of new "fashion" look almost sustainable in comparison.
At least Thundermail would be part of a "Thunderbird pro" package, so you would still be free to use Thunderbird with any of the above alternatives. I'd think the opt-in pro service would serve as a revenue stream to keep development going in all products, including the open source mail client.
I was wondering about that too. A whole cup is... a lot. Rather than do the calculus I'd probably settle for egg white instead.
Paramount: "Yeah, we're rolling back all our inclusion policies because the political winds have changed."
Star Trek: "So you liked Stacey Abrams as future Earth president? Guys, we're pitching our tent in the Democratic camp!"
Wtf, how have I not heard that writefreely hasn't federated since Xmas?
Oh, she clearly had a ball countering every single comment against Nightshade. This format is way off my usual media diet, but it was so worth it to see her smart, constructive takedown of the detractors.
Sure, an American invented libraries, totally /s
Nope. The actual purpose functionality seems unclear to me.
Edited.
Wait, didn't Starmer and co want to "AI" everything like last week? I thought the UK were going to be world leaders in "AI".
Oh snap yeah, they're broke.
This exactly. With a federated app store, how would users verify that apps hadn't been tampered with? Federation isn't a one size fits all solution.
And yes, "a future Fediverse OS" isn't a potential, it's a hallucination.
Per the article,
This brand new REPLICAart Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 figure […] is based on the iconic design from the 2009 film, Star Trek, meticulously replicates the NCC-1701’s appearance and intricate details.
Within the last few years, and particularly the last few months, we’ve heard this refrain: AI is the reason for an abuse committed by a corporation, military, or other powerful entity.
Oh, how does that '70s IBM memo run again? But this is both the allure — perhaps even a selling point — as well as the Achilles heel of "AI". When companies and authorities let it make decisions, they do so with the illusion that nobody is responsible for the consequences of those decisions.
The "AI" bros will have us know that as a technology, it is totally neutral. "It's just maths, you can't regulate maths". Yet they attribute faculty and agency to algorithms that acquits their users from responsibility, while denying the responsibility to the people whose work the algorithms are trained on.
Hopefully this first wave of realisation — that trusting faulty statistical implementations to do humans' work always come at a greater cost than the projected savings — will be the last. We need a good Butlerian Jihad so we can get back to our actual, global problems.
TBF, the device isn't out yet, so I'd think making a custom ROM would be premature. Your other comment makes me think twice about buying Oneplus again, though.
I got a lot of mileage out of my OP6, so perhaps the last model to receive a custom ROM would serve me fine for a couple of years.
I repressed that. Most of what I remember from that book is about the killer robot dog that is really a Good Boy. Also, never to buy a set of VR glasses from Mark Zuckerberg.
Huh. So the future we're living in is Minority report but instead of precog copaganda it's petty commercial entities excluding you on the basis of old tweets.
Plume isn't currently actively maintained, unfortunately. It's right below the fold of the page you linked 😞
As for customisability, I think writefreely has some different themes to choose from, they're just hidden away in the docs or on github.
Has it really been five years since "Fugitive of the Judoon"?
"A recounting of dansup's hostility towards FOSS maintainers and the ecosystem at large" — wait what?
Doctor Who's Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat preview "emotional" Christmas special
Remind me again how Radio Times has covered Doctor Who for 60+ years?
Colourised "War games" special will feature actual regeneration, plus "recovered footage"?!
