38·5 days agoThis is sick! Thanks for sharing your project with us! I would have never guessed you could do voice over TOR but PTT was a clever solution. Its like the old nextel phones that had PTT. I wonder if its possible to remap the volume button to be a hardware PTT button.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Open Source, Incentives, and Why 'Monetize Later' Often Backfires
10·6 days agoWould we have OpenTofu if terraform didn’t exist (or the other examples)? They got VCs to fund an open source project, it was a useful tool(probably), the founders got rich, and OpenTofu is now FOSS. Yeah its a run around but the end result, VC funded open source, seems pretty good.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney shifts Canada’s position as Trump fails to justify war against Iran
1·9 days agoLooking from the outside, I would say the Canadian people already changed their opinion of the US, that’s what got Carney elected, and they have been very consistent with the long term success of Buy Canadian and the plunging travel numbers into the US.
Carney’s original comments were not at all critical of the US’s aggression, they were more supportive, which is clearly not the stance that Canadians in general are taking towards the US.
In 2018 the US threw away the diplomatic solution established in 2015 and replaced it with sanctions (which do kill people). Now its moved to directly killing people. There is a lot to be critical of.

Whoa you are living on a sailboat? Thats awesome! Thanks for the info. Ill try some from the website.
Wow it makes me so happy that others recognize the value of two bookmark ribbons. You often want to make a side and a main, or the recipe points you to another page. Paper bookmarks just fall out.
How exotic are the ingredients? I imagine I might have trouble sourcing them.

It had politics in the title. But yeah it could be argued that it was more meta, idk.

Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Spain refuses to provide military support for US attack on Iran and distances itself from France, Germany and the UK
7·13 days agoI know very little of Spain’s politics but they seem to be hitting it out of the park since I started paying attention. They have made a really impressive move to renewables and they seem to be taking the strongest stand against US and Israeli aggression that I have seen from Europe (Ireland and Italy as well).

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I have 100 euros a month to donate to open source projects. Do you think its better to donate more to fewer projects or less to more projects?
2·16 days agoF-droid builds everything from source so I trust the binaries.
Speaking of which, I donate to f-droid.
Oh that’s interesting. I tried a few countries with a VPN and many are blocked but not all.



















It is really helpful to hear your position. Thank you for sharing.
Gaza is a disaster that my country is directly supporting, so there are clear steps (not selling arms to Israel) that should be taken that I can protest/petition/vote for.
There are a lot of horrible things in the world but its much less clear what I can do, or what my country should do. I can support more refugees.
Society hasn’t developed great methods for intervening into some of these atrocities, that I know of, and they are slow to develop them because its easy not to care about someone else’s problem. And its easy to “mind your own business”
For example the Iran nuke deal in 2015 seemed promising because it avoided war and most sanctions. Sure it wasn’t as proactive as war or sanctions but I think people will need to learn to be comfortable with more subtle solutions like that if we are to make progress.
I would be interested to hear what you think should be done.
