Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects? by noodlejetski in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

I've set up a recurring donation for Signal, pay for a yearly Bitwarden subscription that I don't really need because the free tier covers my needs, so I consider it a donation, too, and throw some pocket money at some projects every new and then. oh and I have Mullvad and Tuta subscriptions.

because Mozilla moved the builds to their own repository instead of relying on Github.

every time I see old maps like this one, it blows my mind how accurate they are in an era with no satellites or aerial photos or anything. sure, everything's a bit misshapen, but holy cow!

Like what the fuck is a "Black WhatsApp"?

there are some modded Whatsapp versions that add features that don't exist in the official version, like hiding typing indicator for you while still being able to see the other person's, same with read markers, and so on. while I've never tried any myself, some of them seem to be legitimate.

Experts aren’t unanimous about whether the AI-powered search startup’s practices could expose it to legal claims ranging from infringement to defamation—but some say plaintiffs would have strong cases.

Chat control vote postponed: Huge success in defense of digital privacy of correspondence! (www.patrick-breyer.de)

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice. Once again the chat control proposal fails in Council.

Linux user share on Steam breaks 2% thanks to Steam Deck (www.gamingonlinux.com)

A moment I've no doubt many Linux fans have been waiting to see. The Linux user share on Steam has smashed through the 2% barrier.

Not actually for the first time though, it did initially rise up above 2% in March 2013, shortly after the original Steam for Linux release when it left Beta. Part of the reason it had higher numbers at the start, was that Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux but it quickly dropped in the following months.

Reddit introduces a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users | TechCrunch by noodlejetski in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 161 points 3 months ago

In early testing of the new format, Reddit found that free-form ads outperform all other ad types in average click through rate (CTR) by 28%, along with increased community engagement when comments are enabled

so they're bragging how much more misleading the new format is, gotcha.
