why link to the assets?

but those are all reasonable features that could be added to lutris.

Openhub also says it’s “mostly written in javascript”.

Probably because the website site is listed as one of the repositories.

You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don’t think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can’t think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.

I don’t want to start a holy war. but they say it should bring more contributors and a more fun programming language should mean more contributions but contribution metrics on openhub show no meaningful improvement IMO.

Written in PureScript

Using a purely functional niche language like that will really prevent good developers from contributing IMO.

Yeah, but i think any programmable system should allow low level constructs if the high level constructs are not enough.

iirc this caused serious problems with wine because the API of windows requires setting coordinates.

Where is the source code used for the newer plan 9 development? (the foundation said they are participating in google summer of code).

We need better funding for open source games IMO, maybe a non profit set up for that.

I like RSS, i think it can improve the information diet people have by getting high quality content. kinda an alternative to more popular content (meaning possibly low effort) pushed to us using algorithms or just created to appeal to the masses because it is more economical.

It does have a UX problem, i think we need some open source project where you click on a button and it will show you the RSS address but also give you the option to set up RSS while it coaches you to do it in a way that is kinda pleasant and easy.

iirc they were already listed as goals in previous NLnet grants, so it has already been a while, not mention that Lemmy budget is a drop in the ocean compared to reddit and that money could definitely be used.

Any update on improving Lemmy fundraising process?

KDE recently did a post where they describe the result of adding a notification asking for donations. the money they received from only paypal alone in the 7 days of December is almost 5 times higher (62K) then their biggest previous month (October 13K).

Lemmy donations are down from march to today , while piefed is having a modest organic growth . maybe this could boost development resources bringing features users have been asking for years and improve the speed of experimentation that will help perfect Lemmy’s design and feature set.

Thanks for the hard work again!

I don’t know if it could be cheaper , it probably could be cheaper because if it will be more popular prices will drop (Economies of scale) , but i am afraid there will always be a price premium for FOSS friendly hardware because companies are losing their competitive advantage by giving away some of the work they do for free.

Reminder: Microsoft GitHub social media likes is not an accurate barometer of much. Starhacking is a thing & it tells you nothing of the code quality

Its funding track record is also pretty good it seems . no indication can prove a project is high quality, but it can help in deciding what to check out.

I consider that game a work of art, this scene comes to mind. dying repeatedly while storming the beach really emphasize that war should be avoided and the price of democracy and freedom people paid.

There is a open issue , the developers talked about it but no one pulled the trigger on it, this can be implemented on the client in a way that is pretty good (you could create client side backups using something like dropbox). We could open more issues on the various lemmy clients and maybe even piefed which seems to prioritize feature development in a way that might be better then lemmy developers currently. you can already read the comments on piefed and then subscribe to the posts and incrementally read new comments.

Needs a web version you could set as a homepage .

I think you want to use AGPL. people can still make a closed source website out of your project due to the ASP loophole.

Consider adding it to awesome lemmy which is linked to from the lemmy readme.

Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

Yeah it was said by email, i actually did some research and turned out it is indeed not legally binding, i think it is good to know.

software in the public interest

These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI’s own expenses.
