It’s developedby Google?

GTK is in bare C, which is rather easy to interop with Rust. Even if using GLib from Rust is a pain, GTK can and does have decent Rust bindings.

QT on the other hand is C++ with object oriented stuff, and therefore cannot have easy bindings to Rust.

That’s why I avoid relying on instances maintained by this type of people and instance gravitate around instances hosted by non-profits I know and trust.

Where I am in France there are multiple very friendly non-profits that are centered around Free software and how digital technologies affect our freedom, who’ve shown to be very open-minded and responsible.

All this drama happened on Mastodon. While user migration is a great feature to have for users, it won’t solve this kind of issues.

There’s no way to transfer accounts afaik

On lemmy for now there is not. But there is on Mastodon and having such a feature in lemmy is just a matter of time.

I know that Asahi Linux uses Rust for its graphics driver but I don’t think it has been upstream yet.

I think it’s especially about Rust in the Linux kernel. There was a lot of fuss as the “foundation” for writing Rust drivers was merged, but since then there has been cvery few news about it going forward and being used to develop new drivers.

The language itself is obviously still going very strong.

The issue is mostly not about paying for the info, but rather about how to obtain said info without collecting location data of all users in an intrusive way like Google does.

Pour Geovelo et France vélo tourisme je passe par le site web. De toute manière pour Geovelo faut un compte pour l’appli j’ai pas envie d’en créer un.

Pour la voiture j’ai Magic earth. Basé sur OSM et plus respectueux de la vie privée que Waze ou Google Maps (qui sont toutes deux développées par la même équipe chez Google). Mais Organic maps pourrait aussi suffire.

À côté j’ai Street Complete pour l’ajout de données mais à part ça je fais pas de vrai édition depuis le tel, je le fait depuis l’ordi.

Organic maps est pas trop mal si tu veux aller d’un point A à un point B, mais Geovelo va te proposer des itinéraires avec des meilleures infrastructures cyclables.

Y’a aussi france-velotourisme qui te donne des itinéraires plus branchés cyclotourisme, alors que Organic Maps fait plutôt du tout-droit tant que c’est permis.

Heureusement geovelo permet d’exporter les GPX.

Pour le cyclotourisme la solution c’est de calculer le trajet avec Geovelo puis de mettre la trace dans organic maps.

Avec organic maps tu peux fonctionner en 100% hors ligne donc en désactivant la 4G la batterie dure hyper longtemps.

Idem pour le fait de forcer à se créer un compte pour pouvoir utiliser l’appli. Je comprends pas pourquoi ils peuvent pas permette de l’utiliser anonymement. C’est dommage parce qu’à part ça ça semble être une bonne initiative. Si seulement c’était open source.

Signal goes very far to protect even the tiniest bits of metadata.

For example see sealed sender, private contact discovery and group v2.

On the other hand, matrix stores your profile info, group membership, and ongoing conversation metadata in plaintext, some of them replicated across homeservers. In addition to metadata that matrix doesn’t encrypt, they also do not encrypt some actual data like emoji reactions.

Edit: clarified that conversations are not in plaintext. My wording what confusing as hell sorry.

They do progressive roll-out. With last year’s update the Flatpak also waited for the to say “this is stable enough, ship it”

I did not know that. That’s not cool

• .edu Education (MURICA)

.edu is not only american. For example I know many schools in France have .edu domains and emails, and I believe it’s the case in many more countries.

Yes, I find the current UI very hard to understand at a glance.

It’s not ugly but I find it pretty hard to figure out what’s happening at a glance because it’s really abstract

Mindustry. It’s a mix between an RTS and Factorio. It’s pretty nice and Open Source

Yes but those are in general a couple of bytes at most. The average comment will be less than 1KB. Metadata that goes with it will be barely more.

On the other hand most images will be around 1MB, or 1000x times larger. Sure it depends on the type of instance but text should be a long way from filling a hard drive. From what I’ve seen on github the database size is actually mostly debugging information, so it might explain the weirdness.
