Not to mention everything community about cats!

To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.

Yeah I just checked Atkinson Hyperlegible and, at least the version I can access (the one on Github) lacks entire Latin and compatible character ranges, as well as having a substantially limited math symbols set (only two greek letters show, for example).

The weird thing is, if I understand how fonts correctly, that shouldn’t have been an issue. The font doesn’t register those missing characters, so your browser should have known to fallback to a default typeface for the missing characters. It’d be weird if you have none of the many compatible fonts (not even, say, Times New Roman).

Leading with the hard questions, I see!

(I honestly wouldn’t know how to answer the question. I guess in order to pirate it, you’d have to fetch a copy from someone who broke the license terms and is thus not authorized to distribute it, but that kinda turns into a Catch-22)

It’s likely that system only has the base Latin-1 font set for some weird reason? Or a misconfigured fontserver (or equivalent in Windows). My understanding is that the text “sail the high seas” uses glyphs in both the Latin D group and the phonetic extensions groups (feel free to correct me!), so pretty much any Unicode-aware font since 2010, FOSS or otherwise, would render this correctly.

I personally recommend the Liberation font set, although it’s free software so you can’t really pirate it.

if you want voice well, then idk what to say

Mumble!

crypto based

well, there goes my interest.

Grandmas can easily install Cookie Clicker and Angry Bird and DownloadMoreRam and anything else they find on the internet with quite an ease. Are you telling me the average internet person is noticeably less capable than a grandma?

I’m not sure it’s that difficult to follow. If you offer a service in the EU, you are responsible for your server deleting personal data (or, even better, not even hosting it in the fist place!); you are not responsible for other people not deleting their copy of personal data.

But I’m not that well-informed in the actual legalese so my best understanding is the big issue is the EU’s definition of “provide service to the EU” more than anything else. They seem to think that just because your users might upload a local copy of a picture of someone from the EU, even if you yourself are not allowing connections from the EU, then you are serving to the EU. And with how nazi the EU has been going lately with stuff like ChatControl, the last thing I’d want as an instance owner is to be upheld to arbitrary boomers’ (lack of) understanding of technology.

That’s how it starts. Mozilla itself is maybe not hindered on its mission, but the people who depend on them are: the extension was blocked, and there is no official way that I know of to add third-party extension repositories to Mozilla. And sure, the more important part of the problem is you cede just one bit, but the authoritarians won’t stop. They know now Mozilla will spread their legs so they’ll ask more and more, and Mozilla will for sure choose to bend over for them than to act for the people they were supposed to be fighting for.

Mozilla licked Russia’s boot for a week. And that’s only what we publicly know.

No matter for how short you taste shit, the shit stink stays – if anything, in your memory.

They should comply with local laws

To my knowledge Firefox / Mozilla does not have an office in Russia. And even if they had, the argument can be made that unlawful / authoritarian laws by any ethical perspective have to be fought against.

Matrix? For sure you mean XMPP/Jabber. Matrix is a slut metadata-wise.

Hahaha now if only Firefox was federated instead of CEO-managed… 🤔

That’s right; they’ve always been documented to be DMs, not PMs.

But because of the discordbabies people confuse both.

This. If Maven offered me a stipend for life to have my content used (because they’re not going to remove it in 3 or 6 months, right? once ingested it’s there forever), then I would be far more open to at least discussing their terms.

People can complain, but the Fediverse is built to make consuming user’s data easy

Correction: it is built to make consuming users’s data not easy, but more human.

WHat you are thinking of is AP, not “Fediverse”, and even then that’s a stretch.

This is potterdung’s ultimate plan.

Yeah this is post 65534 on how lemmy.ml is bad, centralizing on lemmy.world is best. Two more and we’ll get a nice round number!

Has too much lemmy.world. Downvoted.

(Half kidding. I hope it’s obvious which half.)
