F-Droid is no longer accepting "NSFW" apps (as they dubiously define them) and will eventually remove them from the repo. This tag is only a stopgap until they figure out how to move them out of the F-Droid repo.
Honestly, that feels like someone doing malicious compliance to jam up the nsfw ban. Of course by most standards that include written content the bible, quran etc. (and plenty of popular media series like a song of ice and fire) are nsfw, but the people pushing for age restriction/nsfw bans would usually strongly feel "except those ones" and by applying the label you force them to either explain or codify the double standard.
Oh that's disappointing. I have no issue with them flagging bible apps (it's just a flag and I welcome the ability to filter) but I do think nsfw content does belong in an open app ecosystem under the appropriate flagging. Including religion for those who subscribe to that.
No, there are plenty of other examples (just in games alone) to write off as a mere one-off oversight. It certainly seems targeted since they've targeted religious apps that don't even have any explicit content.
For an app store that is supposed to advocate for freedom this is disturbing and very off-putting. The answer is not submitting a PR to enable even more censorship.
Who is "they" here? The person who opened the PR? The person who wrote the NSFW definition? The moderators correcting the mistakes?
> The answer is not submitting a PR to enable even more censorship.
It's not censorship, you can still install the apps to your phone. You just cannot promote them to impressionable audiences like children, or pretend it is appropriate conduct for something like the workplace. Your same logic could be used to argue that porn apps shouldn't be labelled as NSFW, or that gore and shock content is free expression.
F-Droid is not (and will never be) compelled to host the tools of evangelism. You don't need F-Droid's help to reach your audience. I'm a proud F-Droid user and defend their stance wholeheartedly.
"You just cannot promote them to impressionable audiences like children" - the fact that child has device is problem not the fact that device can access information.
The data attributes they moved to Pro was mostly a result of watching folks use Datastar and seeing the anti-patterns develop. Those anti-patterns have been moved to Pro.
> If it's stable, no v2, plugins aren't needed, it's a 501c3, there's no shares, equity... what's the point of Pro? "The goal is to fund the work and draw a clear support boundary," What are they funding?
I assume it is because charitable organizations need accountants and other things (along with all the other stuff like web hosting and the like).
If they make less than $50,000 USD, they need to file the 990-N postcard, online.
It's less than 10 fields? Things like name, ein, fiscal start, end, etc.
If they make more than $50k, they can fill the EZ form. Sure, hire an accountant if you want. Most is how they earned the money, assets, expenses, where they spent the money. They need to declare officers too.
If they earn I think it's $200k, then they need to fill the IRS 990 form. Sure, get an accountant.
There's another requirement thrown in the above if they have more than X in assets...
Ironically Non-profits have to show profits. We don't particularly want devs money as much as Teams/Enterprise to pay for tooling. Inspector make life easier and more stuff (like Stellar is in route).
They think most folks should avoid Pro (it is just convenience fluff and some potential anti-patterns). Putting it on the front page would cause more harm than good?
Try Datastar, it leans into web components, and they're working on a plug-in that integrates web components with Datastar. For example, I believe the star field on the front page of it's site is a web component.
> Highly disingenuous. First, AI being trained on copyrighted data is considered fair use because it transforms the underlying data rather than distribute it as is.
Your legal argument aside, they downloaded torrents and trained their AI on them. You can't get much more blatant than that.
Yes but that was one company and it is not core to their infra or product. So I don’t know how one can characterize AI fundamentally to be unethical because one company pirated some books
1. Move the deductions from the employer to the individual. That unlinks health care from your employer. It will also inject market forces and discipline to our health care system, since the person paying for the care is now in charge of the insurance.
2. Repeal the ACA mandates and enact interstate laws which permits low-deductible, low mandate policies along with reintroducing catastrophic insurance. The current status quo forces young people to pay for old people and those less responsible with their health. What we have now is prepaid medical care, not insureance. This also removes the insurance monopolies states and companies have created together.
We have the worst of all possible systems at present.
The chances of any elected politician doing this are exactly zero. We're going in the opposite direction and it's only a matter of time. There are very few places left on the internet that would even entertain discussion of this. This site is no longer one of them.
It's unfortunate that Reddit and HN just downvote these proposals away. I guess discourse is dying on these platforms huh.
Mark Cuban had an interesting proposal to this effect. https://x.com/mcuban/status/1934834421225672999 . A combination of tax subsidies and debt forgiveness that cuts out insurance companies altogether.
It isn't society they're kicking people off of YouTube for, it's whatever their advertisers do or don't want at any given moment. The advertising companies are their customers, and everyone else is just grist for the mill.
That sounds like a good candidate for Django using either Datastar or HTMX with web components (Lit/React/VanillaJS) as an escape hatch for really interactive bits. Instagram, Threads, Doordash, EdX, Octopus Energy, etc. have all running Django at scale for years.
Mixing a package manager, (which is needed for prod package installs) with dev-only tooling is analogous to an "attractive nuisance" (not that I'm saying anyone is a child mind). I know Go and Rust do it, but thinking from first principles, it sounds like a bad idea.
It really does sound like a bad idea, and now that I've used cargo a lot, I want a lot more of those bad ideas in my life.
Seriously, if uv becomes to Python what cargo is to Rust, the developer experience for Python is going to be vastly better than before. I've been writing Python professionally for more than 25 years, and getting paid to work around it's crummier parts, and I'm thrilled to be able to throw away all that knowledge and just use uv.
