GNOME’s Epiphany is powered WebKit. Despite being associated with Apple, WebKit is actually free-as-in-freedom and was originally developed by KDE.

Good pay for me, no programming socks for thee!

While I don’t use mbin/kbin, thank you for your work. More software means more decentralization, which is healthy. The fediverse is a better place with you in it :)

• Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
  • YES: Choose mbin.
  • NO:
    • Do you want a native app?
      • YES: Choose Lemmy… for now.
      • NO: Choose PieFed.

I’ve been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I’m on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

• More lightweight to host; imo makes it “more decentralized” since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
• New and innovative features
• Responsive developer
• PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
• I don’t believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.

Banking apps that need the ads to authenticate you for some reason: “Nuh uh!”

You don’t want to be referred to as “Socks”?

I’m none of the people you describe, but I’m not a twink (yet™). Can we still hold hands? 🥺🥺

please make it stop

This idea is actually something I wish were true. The main challenge would be preventing accidental touches while still registering intentional touches. However, if that issue gets (mostly) solved, this idea could be very cool.

Imagine having contextual buttons for everything instead of the usual static volume/power buttons. e. g. You open your Lemmy client of choice, and there are side buttons for making posts, making comments, etc. We can take this even further: imagine you used the button to compose a comment, and now the contextual buttons change again to allow you to format your comment (like a WYSIWYG editor).

Also, realistically, if this were to be built, the edges would be curved, instead of the blocky slab shown.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
