Building a better web for all of us: hiram.io
I started a website called OpenSourcely to do exactly this.
It aggregates news, projects, and announcements related to open source.
I’m always on the lookout for new RSS feeds and outlets to add to it, so if anyone has any, feel free to send them my way.
Nice, that’s my screenshot (but not my post). Dope to see it surface again. 🤘
Feel free to pop them into the Markdown file, or send em my way.
Oof, here we go:
This is why enshittification might be a good thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Canva.
Their feature set and functionality is great, but their vendor lock-in is really off-putting. Even just within their platform, it’s really difficult to move assets around within workspaces.
Let alone edit graphics that you made on Canva and edit them elsewhere, say Penpot, for example.
While it is my joy to study the regions the only reason I would know more is that I ask questions to eliminate my assumptions.
Always a good approach. Commend you for that.
It is a pleasure to meet a Rarámuri though! From my books I’ve been told that your ancestral lands were part of a vast trade network. This is best evidenced in macaw burials and feather art found in Arizona of all places.
Is that so? It would make sense, given its geography.
As far as my bloodline, if you have seen one fat celt you’ve seen them all.
You funny for that 🤣🤣
Not to my knowledge.
Also: My understanding is that La Gran Chichimeca was further south from Chihuahua, around the Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Guanajuato region. Basically between Chihuahua and Mexico City.
You might know better than I would though, if that’s something you study/studied.
I got Tarahumara blood in me, but you wouldn’t know it from the current state of my cardio lol
My name’s Hiram. I was born in Chihuahua, and raised in Chicago.
Both are home, and both start with “Chi.”
Yeah you right about that. That’s why one of the simplest and most suggested budgeting techniques is to carry a cash envelope. Seeing/feeling your money makes it harder to psychologically part with it.
Nope. I suppose in theory it could, but not necessarily—it’d be up to Apple/Google to make the color decisions regarding that.
The important thing here is that it’s not about the colors themselves, but about what the colors signify.
Apple chose blue to denote that the message you’re sending is to another Apple device. By default, this Apple-to-Apple message uses the iMessage protocol. If it uses iMessage, then that implies a certain security standard.
Apple also made the deliberate choice to denote non-iMessage texts with green. If it’s green, then it’s SMS/MMS, you lose iMessage encryption, and other features like reactions.
The colors are not gonna change by default—it’s up to them to coordinate what colors are used for what. Apple’s not gonna open up iMessage (at least not voluntarily, and we saw how far they’ll go with Beeper), so Google can’t do anything about that. Which is also why they’re pushing so hard to get Apple to adopt RCS.
If Apple does adopt RCS, maybe they’ll denote it with purple bubbles, who knows. Then you’d have iMessage as blue, RCS as purple, and SMS/MMS as green.
But again, this is all about what each color signifies in terms of privacy and security.
The thing is… The bubble colors do matter. But people aren’t caring about the colors for the right reasons.
The color matters because the color has to do with the security of that message.
Sending a message through the iMessage protocol is more secure than SMS/MMS.
People should care that their messages are secure and private (and they do care, they just don’t always realize it or know it yet). Unfortunately, the people behind the whole blue vs. green bubble culture war don’t seem to focus on this security aspect, which is actually what/why it matters.
As an Apple investor who would benefit from more iPhone sales, “Buy an iPhone” is not the right response/solution to this problem, despite what Tim Apple says.
Choose open source. Say no to walled gardens.
Use—and donate to—Signal.
Greetings from GrapheneOS, as a former iOS and stock Android user.
Any benefit over just downloading the APK directly without managing it through Obtanium? I ask cause I’m guessing that for Mull, since there are no releases on its GitLab repo, it’ll just have to be downloaded directly.
I use Obtanium too, but I can’t figure out how to install apps that are hosted on GitLab.
What do you have to change in Obtanium?
Here’s Mull, for example: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/mull-fenix
You really don’t need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:
About some other ones that are mentioned:
Other:
IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.
I may not be fully understanding your use case, but Baserow has forms and is API-first. It sounds like it would do it, if I’m understanding correctly.
It’s open source and has both hosted and self-hosted versions.
Disclaimer: I’m part of the Baserow team.
True. This is why the general recommendation is typically to buy used. That way, they don’t get additional revenue from the sale of a new phone, and it also decreases e-waste.
(Sure, the revenue may be a drop in the bucket, but it’s still something.)
Yeah, it’s only an aggregator that then points you to the original content. For legal reasons, I don’t think OpenSourcely would be able to host the original content natively.
