I saw this thread which has some discussion

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/android-private-space-vs-work-profile/21101/4

Which to me sounds like 'private spaces' is made for this purpose, while shelter + work profile was a workaround for some time. Since it is new, it might take some time for FOSS apps to implement related features, like being able to launch those apps from your homescreen.

Hopefully someone else comes with better advice :)

Edit: these ones suggests that private spaces is better

Some wider context

The consumer outlet said the reliability of Rivian’s SUV and pickup are either below or well below the average of other automakers’ vehicles. The company’s EVs did have some company, though, as Ford’s F-150 Lightning scored similarly poor marks, as did the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet’s Blazer EV, which really stumbled out of the gate.

Consumer Reports noted that customers struggle with problems related to these EVs’ electric motors, batteries, and charging systems. But customers also experienced problems with the advanced technology in the cabin, like touchscreen-focused infotainment systems. The outlet also said it lacked sufficient data to evaluate EVs from upstart Lucid Motors, or from the likes of Porsche and Polestar.

Overall, Consumer Reports says EVs are improving in reliability. Some scored particularly well, including Ford’s Mustang Mach-E, while the reliability of Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y was more average. But all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids still give owners more problems than standard hybrid cars or ones with internal combustion engines.

There is discussion going around right now about if more instances should defederate from this project. If you have any updates on the points you mentioned above, please do share!

I have some feedback, and I hope it doesn't come across as being too hostile.

we had to prioritize what would be most useful to the broader community

How are you planning to do this in the long run? Hand picking communities will be hard to scale I want to find the communities I like, and I'm not sure I'd like a curated feed like that.

A Lemmy instance doesn't show content from every other Lemmy instance out there, nor does it pull all communities from federated instances. For example, lemmy.ca doesn't pull content from every lemmy.world community, only the ones that our users search for and subscribe to. That keeps the server costs low and leaves it up to the users.

If this is a temporary thing for testing, then disregard :)

For federated servers to really compete, complexity needs to be eliminated. One of the goals of ClubsAll is to simplify everything, so we hide servers, instances, multiple logins etc that can be confusing and overwhelming for a new user.

Having helped some non-technical users get started with the fediverse, it's not actually that bad. Something like this would be more confusing because now you can't see where that user or post is coming from. I am [email protected], but there are other people with the username otter from other instances. Will we all look like the same user? What about similarly named communities from different places, which don't actually deal with the same subject matter.

Instead, would you consider keeping the servers and instances but making them smaller in the UI? That way it's not a distraction, but the information is still there.

Seems to bring us back to the current Reddit situation with extra steps.

That’s a valid concern. However, I’ll open source the project once I get some assistance, which should alleviate some of these fears.

The problem the fediverse is tackling is centralization, not lack of open source. That's what the comment was referring to. If the goal of this project is to be a one stop shop for all threadiverse content, you're not going to find much support here.

Reddit was once open source as well. Having the code available is helpful in some ways, such as by being open about the algorithms used, but it doesn't solve all problems. Similarly, without a way for others to host the software, it's hard to tell if that is the actual code running on the live server.

That’s exactly right. This is the main reason. Unfortunately, our developer recently left, so we’re at a bit of a feature freeze for now, aside from a couple of things coming soon.

That's totally ok, the fediverse has many projects like this in various stages of development. The concern expressed in this thread is less about what the project is doing now, and more about clarity on what the future plans are.

For example:

  • funding through donations instead of paid accounts, advertising, and user data

  • a confirmation on what kind of federation it will have

Oh good, the thumbnail was a ferret

Handout images from the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital show before (top) and after images of the regrowth of teeth in a ferret (centre) and mice (R and L)

Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for more details on what the healthcare context / medical condition was (if it's the case that he did it)

The other manifesto that was going around claimed that his mother suffered from neuropathy, but that one has been outed as being fake

None that I found, hopefully they add a setting

What I would prefer is:

Option 1. Move when hotkeys are used (default)

  • if clicked, don't move around. It's disorienting, and if someone was trying to select part of the URL they'll need to line up the mouse again
  • if hotkey (CTRL-L or focus search hotkey), sure bring it down. It's nice and you don't have to move your eyes as much

Option 2. Never move down

Ok yea that was a lot more fun!

Bitwarden isn't going proprietary after all. The company has changed its license terms once again – but this time, it has switched the license of its software development kit from its own homegrown one to version three of the GPL instead.

The move comes just weeks after we reported that it wasn't strictly FOSS any more. At the time, the company claimed that this was just a mistake in how it packaged up its software, saying on Twitter:

It seems like a packaging bug was misunderstood as something more, and the team plans to resolve it. Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model in place for years, along with retaining a fully featured free version for individual users.

Now it's followed through on this. A GitHub commit entitled "Improve licensing language" changes the licensing on the company's SDK from its own license to the unmodified GPL3.

Previously, if you removed the internal SDK, it was no longer possible to build the publicly available source code without errors. Now the publicly available SDK is GPL3 and you can get and build the whole thing.

More seriously, the city has put out an extreme weather response. See below for shelter information

https://vancouver.ca/images/web/shelters/vancouver-ewr.pdf

 

The Times Tech Guild represents more than 600 engineers, data managers, designers, software developers and tech personnel who develop and run the systems that power the paper’s website and apps. If the strike continues into Tuesday, it will be the first to coincide with a presidential election in the NewsGuild since the 1964 Detroit newspaper strike, according to the union.

The Tech Guild is asking Times readers “to honor the digital picket line and not play popular NYT Games such as Wordle and Connections as well as not use the NYT Cooking app.”
