Looks good. I’ve always found it annoying that lemmy doesn’t do this by default.
I’m not sure about the license though. Creative Commons recommends against using their licenses for software, since it doesn’t include terms regarding source code, doesn’t handle patents, and it’s usually incompatible with free software licenses.
The github page for overleaf seems to indicate the community edition is AGPL.
Google is still appealing it, so at best that will happen next year. But yeah, they’re probably adjusting their budget in anticipation.
Mozilla is set up as a non-profit with a for profit company as a subsidiary. The corporate Mozilla handles working on Firefox, mostly using money from Google for setting it as the default search engine. Because of that separation I don’t think they can easily mix those two piles of money together.
There’s this section from their FAQ:
Don’t Mozilla products, like Firefox, earn income?
Firefox is maintained by the Mozilla Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. While Firefox does produce revenue — chiefly through search partnerships — this earned income is largely reinvested back into the Corporation. The Mozilla Foundation’s education and advocacy efforts, which span several continents and reach millions of people, are supported by philanthropic donations.
I feel like it’s really far from being open. Besides the training data not being open, the more popular ones like llama and stable diffusion have these weird source available licenses with anti-competitive clauses, user count limits, or arbitrary morality clauses.
I think they switched to usually using bing results last year. Their support site mentions they use both backends. I’d guess which one you get depends on which API is cheaper for each country.
I think that’s still closed, just poorly done in a way that isn’t very accessible.
That’s what burned in means.
I added an extra line break, but it already looked fine in the default webview and in Jerboa. Normally lists don’t need line breaks around them.
For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:
The biggest thing is probably non-destructive editing, so you can do stuff like apply filters without them changing the underlying image. Gtk3 should add better support for tablets and wayland. There’s also better layer tools and font support. A lot of it was on the backend, which should eventually allow for using other color spaces like cmyk natively.
It’s too bad that GLIMPSE fork never took off.
They’ve been working on porting it since back in 2012, and didn’t want to redo a bunch of the porting work before they even released it.
There was another one but it doesn’t work anymore. It hasn’t been updated in 3 years.
It usually implies it’s weird in an old-fasioned way though.
Hacker’s Keyboard hasn’t had a real release in about 5 years, so it can be slightly buggy.
Unexpected Keyboard is pretty good. It’s got the complete keyboard layout available including stuff like Control and Function keys, so I think it’s an acceptable replacement. It uses swipes to type other keys, which I’m not sure if I prefer, but it works well enough. I set the swipe distance higher because I would accidentally swipe from time to time.
If you check “I’m an advanced user” in the settings, then hit the “More” button in the dropdown a few times it’ll show the more advanced interface that lets you choose which third party domains to allow. It doesn’t work quite the same since it blocks both content and scripts per site, but I find it good enough for my usage.
edit: You can technically block just scripts per 3rd party site, but it involves manually editing the content type for your rules in the settings. It’s not part of the main interface, so I never bother using it.
UBlock Origin will block content within Firefox, and do a better job at it than AdAway. AdAway tries to block ads on the whole phone, including embeded ads in a lot of apps. But unless you root your phone, you can’t run AdAway and a VPN at the same time.
GoToSocial is designed for small / single user instances. There’s more with similar goals like snac, seppo, pub, ktistec, tapir, shuttlecraft, activities.next, and microblog.pub, but I haven’t really looked into them so I’m not sure on the status of each. There’s a nice list of activitypub software at delightful fediverse apps if you want to look at more options.
There’s also Midnight Lizard. It’s more powerful, but more resource intensive so I wouldn’t recommend on phones or older systems.
