BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Postiz (v1.6.6) - open-source social media scheduling toolEnglish5·8 months agoSince you deleted your post on !opensource@programming.dev, reposting my comment.
Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.
Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.
Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Biden Praises Carpet-Bombing in Beirut, Tlaib Condemns US-Funded “Bloodbath”English54·9 months ago“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror. His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden and governments led by them were responsible for killing thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian civilians in just the past year alone as part of state terrorism and genocide. Would killing them be “a measure of justice” by the same standard (I’m not advocating for violence, just asking a theoretical question)?
It’s the killing of Hassan Nasrallah he calls “a measure of justice,” not Isreal’s attack <…>
Isn’t that one and the same in this case? If killing one valid target requires killing many innocent people, that’s not justice, that’s terrorism by US own definition.
Only in EU, the rest of the world is still stuck with WebKit. Apple geo locked App Store, so it only works for EU users.
It literally doesn’t matter what you use on iOS, as everything uses WebKit.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.English38·10 months agoYour proposal seems to target the same issues as with multi-community support https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818, which just got 6000€ funding from NLnet. Which seems to be a cleaner way of achieving the same goal.
Some suggested points are also against ActivityPub standard.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Current discussion about post deduplication, should posts be hidden inside a community?English2·10 months agoIt is. Different clients handle it differently. If you note, the repository where the request is made is for lemmy-ui, not lemmy backend.
E.g. Photon shows a single item with a dropdown to expand matching posts if they were posted at the same, which is common with cross-posts on All, Local, Subscribed feeds.
And then it lists all cross-posts on individual pages in a neat list with stats like votes, number of comments, etc.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Anyone been having problems with your Lemmy client? Eternity is kinda broken since an updateEnglish1·11 months agoIt’s not mentioned, but I think the compatibility layer for 1.19 releases breaks support for older versions. Ask your instance admins to update the backend.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto [DORMANT] Trending Communities@feddit.nl•Trending Communities for Friday 2nd August 2024English3·11 months ago@freamon@lemmy.world/@andrew_s@piefed.social runs the bot.
Consider what we used as currency before it was currency. You would have to barter before, which was inefficient. Common currency saves you and everyone involved time. Instead of having to barter for every item, which would also require you to do carry all of those items, you can just pay with currency now.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.ml•A peace deal between Russia and Ukraine was possible 2 years ago — and still is todayEnglish1314·1 year agoAre you from Belarus or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because I do, and I can tell you with certainty that people who live there have a different view from yours. So you can insist it’s a NATO propaganda, but I’m sorry I will believe people I actually know and trust over you.
russia is currently a vital part in the worldwide anti imperialist axis of resistance
That is rich since imperialist Russia is the one who is occupying parts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine.
You claim to be in support of Russia, yet you misrepresent them and their goals. Putin himself said he’s an imperialist and his primary goal before his death is to restore former USSR territories.

BrikoX@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?English13410·1 year agoFrom what I have seen, it more stems from the activism vegans are engaged in more than the actual veganism.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English2·1 year agoAll platforms that don’t have public API access will require a way to relay that information, but I was talking about the difference in how the messages are relayed. Matrix bridges work fundamentally on each platform/protocol having its own room and relaying the messages through the bridged room instead of the user as XMPP does. That’s why you can relay the same messages to multiple rooms on Matrix, but can’t do the same on XMPP.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English5·1 year agoWhy is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.
XML is unnecessarily complicated. By trying to cram everything into the spec, it’s cumbersome and hard to parse.
You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?
The goal is the same, but the way they archive that is different. For transport to work, you need an account on each platform you are using the transport on. It relays the messages through that account by mimicking the client. While bridges work by relaying the messages between rooms and not specific users.
My understanding is limited, so if you are interested, please do your own research.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?English28·1 year agoGoogle killed XMPP momentum. And while Matrix has many issues it needs to figure out, especially the development being almost exclusively supported by a for-profit company, they seem to slowly (very slowly) work towards more independence.
Matrix did some things right. Going with JSON spec instead of XML, having Element as uniform cross-platform client, offering bridges as a way to stay connected with your family and friends without needing to convince them to move (XMPP offers transports, but they function entirely differently) and offering end-to-end encryption by default.
XMPP in true open source fashion doesn’t have any uniformity from user perspective. Different ways to do the same thing on different clients, different clients on different platforms. That is a benefit for a savvy tech nerd, but it’s a huge inconvenience for a non-techie family member or friend.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.ml•Left-wing political parties from Arab countries thank China for its support of Palestinian national rightsEnglish215·1 year agoPlease read the actual resolutions before commenting. Both of them order Hamas to release the hostages. And nowhere in the resolution it green lits the attack on Rafah. Though, interestingly, that’s the exact reason Russia stated for their objection.
And yes, Israel is committing a genocide, so no surpsire they are not complying…
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.ml•Left-wing political parties from Arab countries thank China for its support of Palestinian national rightsEnglish213·1 year agoPlease read the actual resolution before commenting. It explicitly said “immediate and sustained ceasefire”. The only difference between the two is one condemned the Hamas attack and another didn’t. And yes, US are the worst in all of this, not only they vetoed previous attempts, but also financed all the killings. But if you can’t see the politics behind Russia’s and China’s veto, you are blind.
