    Phoronix: Rust-Written Rustls Now Reportedly Outperforming OpenSSL & BoringSSL
  • average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀

    but Phoronix' journalism is good

    (which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)

    Which open source android keyboard do you use
  • that's the thing though, it strips you of the options the four essential freedoms provide.

    and imo it's 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)

    Which open source android keyboard do you use
  • unfortunately Futo seems to only be source-available and not libre software :/

    though I can +1 the Heliboard recommendation! idk when they added it but it finally has a multilingual keyboard function :)

    What is your favourite open source gallery app for android. For me it's Fossify gallery.
  • I used to use Simple Gallery and later Fossify Gallery. Now that I have a device new enough for Accrescent to work on it I discovered Aves Gallery Libre.

    It's much nicer and polished in many ways but I do miss some features sometimes

    Eternity v0.2.0 is here!
  • I'm so glad the project isn't stale, thank you devs! I have been using Voyager the last few months but nothing is quite on the lvl of Eternity

    (and tbh Voyager feels too iOS-y for me)

    Does GNU Taler provide all the privacy benefits of crypto without any drawbacks?
  • seems like a good middle ground tbh. No cryptocurrency will ever reach the adoption of fiat. This could make online transactions that would otherwise be made over your creditcard, bank or insert fintech like Paypal quite a bit better

    And I'd rather have this than a "digital Euro" or "digital Yuan"

    I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

    The ones in my scope thus far are:

    TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

    1 Billion Dollars for Open Source Maintainers | Tobie Langel @ OpenUK 15 feb 2024
  • Those are such "mask off" moments imo

    The best being "want documentation? join our discord", which makes me absolutely livid.

    Using discord as a wannabe forum, wiki and matrix chat replacement rly goes to show that for the core dev(s), "open source" just means a development model

  • hosted exclusively on youtube, make that make sense

    It makes perfect sense, since it's open source and not free/libre we are talking about. Open source doesn't care about the philosophy or political movement behind free software. It's an opportunistic appeal to corporations, advertising "open source" as just a more efficient development model

    How happy are you with your current distro?
  • It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
    Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it's the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn't been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switching to X11 works but it's buggy af and sometimes freezes for a few second

    I suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before

    Don't get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired

  • I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol

    Will switch the second OpenSuSe Slowroll becomes stable

  • Google is a tech giant, which abuses peoples privacy with every click

    Their phones enable users to (at least partially) escape that bs

    that's what I found to be ironic
