always a pleasure to see big projects going full copyleft amidst the recent influx of projects sadly going source-available

this is the main reason not to sign a CLA (edit: both the aforementioned projects seem to adopt CLAs, though it seems that they aren’t hostile and are especially pro-copyleft. see this amazing correction by @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone for context). you should not let a third-party use your copyright to restrict user freedom in the future because they swear “they ❤️ open source” now, and would never use your code to only their own benefit.

Sou brasileiro, e apoio muito o estudo do português. É uma língua rica, complexa e linda. Para mim, não há obras literárias iguais aos clássicos brasileiros e portugueses, especialmente quanto ao belíssimo uso da língua portuguesa.

Amo Machado de Assis e recomendo muito as suas obras que, além de mostrarem a beleza do português, continuam intrigantes e divertidas. Também recomendo as obras de Fernando Pessoa, caso opte por um escritor português.

A lot of people do use Bookwyrm! It just depends on finding the right community.

I am on a fairly small brazilian instance (velhaestante.com.br) and even though I joined while not knowing anybody I still get a fair amount of interactivity. Not enough to be logging in every day, of course, our instance is not nearly as big as something like bookwyrm.social and I don’t read and update that often.

It’s just like any other fediverse software. Even on a small instance you can get a fair level of interactivity and on top of that you can still interact with big instances and large amounts of content! Of course, if you just create an account and forget about it, or you don’t use it very often, and don’t seek out interactions/following other people, of course you won’t get the same level of content in your feed as if you were on GoodReads.

That’s the charm of the fediverse!

Doom and Quake! When I used a potato PC as a daily driver the thing I played the most were boomer shooters. The source ports for both games are pretty amazing nowadays!

i’m so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.

It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It’s also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.

I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I’m sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi’s legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.

well, I just came across the article on Mastodon and wanted to share it. I mean jeez, imagine sharing and wanting to discuss interesting topics just for fun?

and I posted the article on !technology@beehaw.org and then cross-posted it here, because I thought it was also an interesting community to discuss it. I saw a bunch of people cross-posting it elsewhere, so if you’re seeing it a bunch of times then it’s probably because those communities probably also have something in common with the article. I personally think every community have different people and different discussions to have, so I don’t see it as particularly bad.

I strongly disagree. When everybody has a space and opportunity to draw is when it’s the most fun :)

Otherwise, it just turns into a toxic and unpleasant experience

Parlera is an amazing and fun party game

how is reading the communist manifesto being a tankie?
