  • What copyright notice should I put on my FOSS website?

  • If it is your project, no need to get headaches about this. However keep for example the stuff like “Copyright YEAR - your-name” and say it’s under GPL 3 license. But nothing more.

  • It is kind of copyfarleft, so by essence it is it open source according to the OSI definition (which must by the only definition to use), more free / libre according to the FSF definition (which is the only definition also to keep).

  • A matter of time, resources, knowledge, tools, energy, intels. With the ANSSI credit, good luck.

  • Servers are private, so we can conclude anything…

  • Indeed. However we can think the Olvid company, a private company, was very pushy to promote its product and made people think the other apps are worse. In fact it seems Olvid, compared to Signal, encrypt metadata and does not rely on contacts nor identity server. And because it’s a French app, “sovereignty matters” (even of ministers use Microsoft Office solutions 🤡)

  • Olvid is the only messaging application today certified by the ANSSI (the French security agency), I doubt this one will be hacked.

    It is very interesting with a big comparison grid between plenty of messaging solutions.

  • Help me choose my mobile browser

    Jump

  • Why not using Firefox, Firefox Focus or Brave?

  • Please, stop disabling zoom

    Jump

  • It’s annoying that the only browser you can use on iPhones

    What do you mean by the "only browser you can use on iPhones"? The only engine you mean?

  • Please, stop disabling zoom

    Jump

  • I agree... for native apps it is very easy to have adjustable font sizes. But for web sites used in mobile devices, it's painful because we need to support all adjustable system fonts or do some tricks. Web sites blocking native (browsers or not) features like zoom are boring.

  • What's the biggest change you would like to see in computing/tech?

    Jump

  • The disappearance of all these tech peacocks and web turkeys who focus on their number of followers and the quantity of talks rather than quality. The dev rel advocates made the atmosphere toxic

  • Difficult UX in parking apps

  • Not sure this publication is relevant for this space. Is it?
