    I tried to contribute to ThiefMD last year, but then realized the author had disappeared and maintenance had stopped. The author’s been gone for more than two years now, so I think it’s reasonable to call the project dead. I checked the date and it seems that my open pull request celebrates its first birthday this friday.

    I originally tried to fork it and port it to GTK4, but most of the functionality relied on removed GTK3 stuff and the programming language itself is dead too - I had to compile Vala language server from source because the link to the debian repo was dead 6 months ago (and apparently still is!)

    Flathub was the first goal. It should be relatively easy to do Windows as well. I do need to make sure the code works on Windows, as there might be a few surprises, like forward slashes in paths. E: It was a good question, added a section about this to the readme.








  • It does mean doing something: they have to spell out whether consumers should have rights on this or not. Currently it’s undefined, which is equivalent to “not.”

    And the initiative works against that? You say the cause could have gotten more publicity without it? I really don’t see how that could happen, or understand the point in guilt tripping over it.

    energy wasted

    I’m starting to think this argument is energy wasted.

    I’ve been keeping an eye on the multicommunity issue and that getting merged was a nice notification.

    Thinking of further use cases, maybe a multicommunity could be used as an “Instance curated” option in addition to All/Local/etc. Because frontpages of topic-specific and regional instances seem to all be dominated by us politics.
