@navi @MK2boogaloo @SuperDicq @lumi you don't know what fascism is, you just use it as a general blanket term for authoritarianism. You didn't even notice when the government nationalized Oracle and Google (that was actually fascism)

@png@yap.pony.biz @lumi@snug.moe I like listening to concerns that are considered "political", but I think that software development policies that everyone relies on should be apolitical because that benefits the most amount of people.

How can someone hold both the views that "there is no such thing as apolitical" and "human rights are not political"?

@navi@social.vlhl.dev @lumi@snug.moe You would think that but it really isn't. It just leads to endless "rule lawyering" discussions instead of just "go away, you're an asshole"

@navi@social.vlhl.dev @lumi@snug.moe And as for CoC rules. I honestly don't really care about the exact wording.

Every single CoC I have read always boils down to "be a reasonable socially adjusted person and don't discriminate and make people upset on purpose".

There is honestly no need for a CoC honestly as these are unwritten social rules that everyone already knows and you don't need a formal document to boot someone from project for being a dick.

"Supermarket Freezers Across Europe Hit By Second Suspected Cyberattack"

You have to wonder why it was connected to the internet in the first place, but presumably for monitoring of the temperatures.

However that begs the question of what did they do before the internet? If it's easier was the cost they saved more than the losses suffered? Could the risk have been mitigated via the use of VPNs and segregating networks? Maybe you don't need to update the firmwares on the devices, but only a single industrial VPN device that utilizes long term SoCs and chips.

One dollar bill weighs a gram, regardless of denomination. The current highest legal denomination is the $100 bill.
500kg = 500,000g
$100 x 500,000g = $50,000,000 or the highest amount you get from 500 kilos of dollar bills.

The current price of gold is $127.92 US dollars per gram.
$127.92 x 500,000g = $63,960,000

Another note is that the dollars will depreciate due to inflation. Gold may still rise in price value or remain stable. Take the gold.

"Degoogling Casual Gaming

Anyone who has tried to play a simple puzzle game on a modern smartphone knows the pain. You download a basic 50MB logic game just to kill ten minutes, and suddenly it wants network permissions, location access, and show you advertising. Worse, you spend 15 seconds playing a level and 45 seconds watching unskippable video ads for sketchy casinos, or hitting paywalls asking you to buy ‘gems’ ‘coins’ ‘diamonds’ just to keep playing.

When I committed to deGoogling my life and reclaiming my digital privacy, the biggest gap I noticed in the FOSS ecosystem was casual gaming. Leaving the centralized store ecosystem shouldn’t mean giving up the games you love to play while waiting for the train or winding down at night or just resting.

That frustration is what pushed me to start building and porting clean, lightweight, open-source games for the F-Droid community. No trackers, no telemetry, no dark pattern, no micro-transactions, and zero ads—ever. Just pure offline gameplay that respects your device and your privacy."
