  • What that user pointed out is, that it has “ties to a fascist company”. But in my opinion;

    • A government can have ties to a communist leader or organization, and still not be a communist government.

    • A project can have ties to an anarchist and that still won’t make the project be anarchist.

    • But if a project has ties to a fascist company the project itself turns fascist?

    Pd. I asked for more info because if ties to a company make you fascist, at least the user who commented that should have very good arguments to dictate if NixOS is fascist based on what they know.

    That’s like saying, “A community in lemmy has lots of users that come from X anarchist instance, so that Community must now be anarchist!”




  • Its no small task, but the progress has been outstanding. They are just shy of 600 tests to pass Flow in WPT tests, and have made great breakthroughs lately, I believe the project has been going on since 2022 mixed with SerenityOS, but separated in 2024, so it’s been 3 years in development, 1 or so independently

    Good luck to them, we’ll see where development stands in a year when alpha comes









  • My comments from someone who doesn’t know much about programming yet:

    • Make the “get in touch” button functional
    • The “Language” category could be named “Experience working with:” Or something more professional
    • Search for better logos for the programming languages you know, and make them smaller
    • Many elements have contrast issues, black text on very dark blue backgrounds, etc. That’s very very important
    • Cursor doesn’t change on top of links

    Idea:

    • The landing page could contain some pictures of your best websites or more visually pleasing projects. And if this is a personal website “watchlist” and such are okay, but if it’s meant to be a portfolio for companies… Keep it professional

    Overall, it was still okay, but needs some polishing


  • I agree needing a phone number is a dealbreaker, the reasoning I’ve seen is:

    • It’s a core dependency on Signal, and replacing it would require a major overhaul.
    • Serves as an Anti-spam feature
    • Helps with contact discovery among common users

    My opinion?

    • 1st statement makes sense but maybe it’s somewhat incorrect.
    • 2nd statement is true, Signal has had an increasingly amount of spam since they added “username accounts” linked to number, I can tell myself.
    • 3rd is true, I discovered two guys I knew used it and it was nice. When SMS on signal was still around, I suppose having a phone number also made more sense.

    In general, signal has proved they store no data besides the phone number itself, and in court they have only been able to give phone numbers.

    Now it’s up to privacy oriented users like many here to think about ways of getting a burner phone number for his without their name on it.

    But I still agree with your point, they could work on better or more private ways of using Signal.
