Postgres slowing factor

~~I'm pretty sure one of the best optimised free/libre DBMS's is faster than Python πŸ’€~~

EDIT: skimmed it wrongly, see corrections below

Also no one knows how Piefed scales, since it only has like 350 MAU

Looking forward to when these are actually affordable, like in a few decades.

Assuming they haven't gone bankrupt by then ((:

FYI: Bei GrapheneOS kann man einen "2. Faktor" fΓΌr das Entsperren mit dem Fingerabdruck einstellen. D.h. nach dem Lesen des Fingerabdrucks muss man dann einen 4/6 stelligen Pin eingeben

Doesn't seem like it, but users who don't know how to toggle a setting should be kept faaaar away from sideloading

I personally wouldn't go that far tbh, but I haven't rly looked into it that much so idk.
To me it seems like they are still maintaining Firefox, Gecko, and Thunderbird (which is more independent tho IIRC) quite well.
I use Thunderbird directly and Firefox through Librewolf

(haven't rly had the drive to look into Thunderbird analogues to Librewolf. Should rly do that tho)

Bc this seems to be a crosspost, imma cross-comment:

I get wanting to phase out Mercurial in favour of git. But why did they have to choose Github T_T

Ideally they would have just hosted a their own Forgejo instance (heck, a Gitlab one would have been better too FFS). Even just using Codeberg and donating would have been better

The for-profit side of Mozilla seems to have succeeded in purging most of the principles Mozilla used to have (IK they have been eroding over the years and sometimes been too "pragmatic", this is just the cherry on top of a long series of shitpiles)

If Mozilla actually stood for a free/libre future they'd push Forgejo to the lvl they need it to be (if it already isn't capable of all that stuff. Haven't rly interacted much with it). Since they will still keep the CI/CD on Mercurial for now, there is even less valid reasons for using Github...

Exactly; a lot of international organisations are already located in Switzerland, so there shouldn't be many gripes with that (also means you aren't at the whims of a global empire in self-destruct mode)

sure, keep insulting people with principles while buying into proprietary software being "open source washed" (for the lack of a better word)

[–] qweertz@programming.dev 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Every time this licenses comes up I have to repeat myself: It's source-available proprietary (free)ware; "source first" is "open source washing" at it's finest

From an old comment of mine:

[...] It strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

IMO ["but protecting muh devs and making it financially viable as a for-profit"] is not rly an argument. Libre software is free as in freedom and not necessarily free as in beer. You could license it under the (A)GPL, charge for downloads in the Play store or for compiled binaries on ur website and ask for donations on F-Droid.

You could even do a freemium version where some features are locked in the binaries you distribute and need a license from ur website or smth (for those who don't want to use Google Play). (iirc SD Maid 2/SE does this)

sauce

E.g.: AFAIK the QT Framework (which I don't particularly like) is dual licensed, making it both Foss that ppl have to contribute back to and viable as a for-profit
