    They have something similar in Aus called the Capital Gains Tax and it is something that is inherrently political, unfortunately you can't uncouple the government from as they prov…

    Someone is working on a LineageOS-like project for KaiOS called GerdaOS, and there's code for the Jiophone 2 in the branch. Not sure if it compiles yet for that particular phone bu…

    FirefoxOS was also exclusively targeting the touchscreen market, which by that point was already totally saturated. Their partner deals weren't the best either, and they really lau…

    Actually, there's not been much change from the original fork of FirefoxOS besides the UI changes to be better for non-touch devices. GerdaOS (LineageOS for KaiOS) allows people to…

    Just had a look over Harvey OS, looks like a pretty neat direction to take Plan 9. But it got me wondering, is there any shared collaberation between any of the next-gen 'Plan 9-li…

    Mastodon is a decentralised Twitter, Hubzilla would be the decentralised Facebook.

    Has the code always been licensed CC-BY-NC-SA or is that a recent change?

    I just want a solution that I know is FOSS, secure and won't use my data for analytics. I have no way of knowing that from a proprietary application so it doesn't fit my use case.

    But that's not the case most of the time. Many apps aren't just one man operations, they pull in contributions from other authors and if it is GPL in any way, it becomes a mess to …

    > and to respect my privacy, and I'll happily pay good money for that That's the issue for me. If it's proprietary, I simply don't trust it to keep my data secure. I have no way of…

    Antennapod and gpodder will work for the web and Android, I don't own an iOS device so I don't know of any solutions for that platform unfortunately. To add to that, there are issu…

    If you're so concerned about a 'podcast ecosystem being built on open, decentralized standards limits' then why are you even talking about a proprietary app in the first place? You…

    Australian here, government 100% funds the ABC and the reporting produced is better than the commercial networks of 7, 9 and 10. It also funds most of the SBS, a foreign language s…

    I've never seen the appeal of Pocket Casts or these almost-a-service podcast apps. I've been using Antennapod for over a year now and it a great podcast app and does a lot of stuff…

    Depending on the jurisdiction it's an offence to withhold or destroy information that is meant to be available under FoI.

    For what it's worth, Hubzilla is working on getting an ActivityPub API up soon. They're also looking to implement OpenID2 so it can be used to log into websites just like Facebook …

    It's called ActivityPub and it's been made an official w3c protocol recently.

    It's more GNU Social with a UI that isn't clunky, so Twitter. Diaspora* is more Google+ but without some of the stuff that people need in a social network like event management. Tr…
