Yeah and captcha got yanked out again. I understand they needed to get it out the door, I just don't see the argument for removing captcha when it appeared to be doing at least some good in preventing bots 🤷
I think it's a "no for now", but Ruben has reserved a community over here just in case.
I actually do know what political means. Care to explain why you think software licenses are political instead of laughing at what I consider to be a completely reasonable statement?
Stuxnet itself doesn't care whose centrifuges it destroys (in fact it doesn't care or have an awareness that it's destroying anything at all), it does what it's programmed to do and is deployed to do by people with political goals. It's not the same thing as Stuxnet itself being political.
I did say that I could conceive of one way that software licenses could be considered somewhat political if one's politics reject the validity of intellectual property. But then again, the software licenses are also not the code itself. If one doesn't believe in the concept of intellectual property, one is free to accept whatever risk is involved with breaking the license and using it anyway. The software doesn't care who's running it.
I know this is all somewhat pedantic, but I pretty firmly believe no software is inherently political. At least maybe not until we have a computer system that achieves some form of sentience and its operating instructions are subject to its own will.
The motivations for creating open source software can be political, but the product itself is apolitical. Programming code is pure logic and has no opinions.
I don't even really believe that software licenses are inherently political. All they do is permit/restrict specific rights to attribute, use, modify, reproduce, distribute, etc. the code. The only real political position I could see against software licenses is one that doesn't believe in protecting intellectual property rights. So if we're going that far, I will tacitly agree that software licenses could potentially be considered political, but not in a very meaningful sense IMHO.
100% there is absolutely no reason Reddit needs to be making 3rd party apps be brokers in paying for these API calls. Aside from the ridiculous price for API calls, they're implementing this in the dumbest possible way. And no NSFW is dumb as fuck too and honestly anticompetitive.
There aren't really as many leftist posts on lemmy.ml from what I can see, but it's federated with lemmygrad.ml, so if your account is on lemmy.ml you see all the posts from there as well. And because they're federated, lemmygrad users can comment on anything on lemmy.ml, so that's where you will see viewpoints come in that you may not agree with in news/politics/economics related threads. I don't know if kbin.social has its instances whitelist & blacklist published anywhere, but there's a pretty good chance you'd know by now if it federated with lemmygrad. You're likely still browsing posts and comment threads on lemmy.ml but aren't seeing comments from the lemmygrad users in those threads.
Good job with this! Apparently the inspiration for the Jerboa UI was Boost for Reddit. That's not to say it needs to be a Boost clone in every single way, but if you want to see why certain decisions were made, it's a good app to look at. I see that when you made the change to a dropdown for local/subscribed/all, we lost the sub text that shows what the current sort order is (active/hot/etc). I don't know if that's difficult to add back, but it's something I personally would miss.
Jerboa is the Android app.
Is your bookmark button not working for this? There's a bookmark button for every post and comment. And then a bookmark section on the nav bar on the main screen.
Thank you for the GitHub link! I'd like to point out to people who really want this feature that there's a way to vote with your wallet and chip in towards a bounty for it 😉
That may have been part of the reason, but the theory behind MFA is that there are 3 primary ways to authenticate who you are: what you know (password), what you have (secure one time password generator or hardware token), and what you are (biometrics). Password managers and digital one time password generators have kind of blurred the lines between passwords and one time passwords, but you're raising your risk a bit if you put them in the same place.
