The follow-up quotes

In your specific case, the problem is your employer is on that list [of sanctioned entities]. If there’s been a mistake and your employer isn’t on the list, that’s the documentation Greg is looking for.

we should just write the code how it should be

Notably, that’s not what he says. He didn’t say in general. He said “for once, [after this already long discussion], let’s push back here”. (Literally “this time we push back”)

who need a secure OS (all of them) will opt to not use Linux if it doesn’t plug these holes

I’m not so sure about that. He’s making a fair assessment. These are very intricate attack vectors. Security assessment is risk assessment either way. Whether you’re weighing a significant performance loss against low risk potentially high impact attack vectors or assess the risk directly doesn’t make that much of a difference.

These are so intricate and unlikely to occur, with other firmware patches in line, or alternative hardware, that there’s alternative options and acceptable risk.

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

I wasn’t aware the GitHub terms of service explicitly grant / require you to grant permission to fork [within GitHub].

GitHub ToS section License Grant to Other Users

By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and “fork” your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub’s functionality (for example, through forking). […] If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users.

It’s been over 10 years since we released Rogue Legacy 1, and in the pursuit of sharing knowledge, we are officially releasing the source code to the public.

License head

Rogue Legacy 1’s source code is made available under a custom license. Basically, you can compile yourself a copy, for free, for personal use. But if you want to distribute a compiled version of the game, you might need permission first. See the EXCEPTIONS.md page for more information.

and Firefox still does not have proper PWA support

I recently had to learn about that, targeting PWA. :(

When I read “you can install an extension for it” I thought that would be simple enough. But that extension then requires an additional Firefox installation which causes it’s own share of problems. (Comparatively complicated setup process despite simple walkthrough wizard with installer integration, program shortcuts being added, Firefox onboarding being triggered in the PWA.)

If Firefox was a better funded and more competent alternative to Chrome we wouldn’t even have this whole Manifest v3 mess since Chrome would just lose all their users.

I don’t think that’s an issue of competency - which I understand as functionality/feature parity in this wording.

Chrome gained and became this popular likely entirely due to Marketing and big-corp ecosystem network effect through pushing it - through Google, Google Docs, and related Alphabet services.

I don’t think Firefox was every really inferior. I’ve always preferred the dev tools and a few other things over Chrome. There was merely a time where performance was worse, but that likely only mattered in benchmarks - and marketing.

I agree. The split and collective nature makes it hard to assess and fundamentally support though - which is what I was referring to in one point.

oh, that’s a cool website

adds it to bookmarks and search bookmarks

But did it reach test or production environment yet? Or will it die in development environment.

The EU passed laws that require companies (under conditions) to ensure base requirements in their supply chain.

I think a digital equivalent could be possible and similar. Requiring reasonable security and sustainability assessment.

It’s not very obvious or simple to enforce, but would set requirements, and open up opportunities for fines and prosecution.

Even C# has something that few people use, but it has something.

Huh? Are you claiming few people use NuGet?

When you draw a parallel to social charity both are largely volunteer based and underfunded. And both have direct and indirect gains for society.

Physical charity often serves basic needs. I’m not sure selecting qualifying quality open source projects is as easy. Need and gain assessments are a lot less clear.

If it’s about public funding distribution, I would like to see some FOSS funding too, but not at the cost of or equal or more than social projects.

How many FOSS projects actually benefit “millions and billions of people”? That kind of impact feels like it’s few and far between.

Valve is generously providing backing for two critical projects that will have a huge impact on our distribution: a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave.

What is Tails?

Formatted, so I can read it

I’m using the website / native website interface. It’s at least possible there to edit the post and url. May be different for “Lemmy clients”.

I think using display: grid; as your default is the better default, so you’re all set. :)

It’s certainly something that looks better, but contrary to green washing, I see real, practical value.

I would rather be able to see and inspect source code than not. And I would rather have the right to take and fork a two year old version than not. Or be able to wait two years to fork the current version.

Those are real good value. Those bring certainty in infrastructure robustness and freedoms.

You posted the article link in the post content instead of linking it in the post. Was that deliberate?

You can still edit the post and set the link. (Then people can open it from the post title.)
