Now the hard part is to get Friendica to integrate it in its base code, and somehow prompt users upon sign-up to choose their user interface !

I understand though that friendica devs might be reluctant to integrate it if they can’t get assurances that this UI project will be maintained into the future.

Capitalize, meaning to translate those new sign-ups into monthly active user, buy doing a better job at exposing the potential of the fediverse and easing up the exploration process of interesting content.

I know about Microsoft patent, I am not sure whether MS does license it to other software makers as it is very wide spread from big companies like Autodesk to smaller ones like NirSoft. I think they just made the patent to camp on it and intimidated big players with it, the opensource OnlyOffice do ship the Ribbon and they haven’t faced any trouble for it so far.

Do you know how many forks of mastodon there are and how many died, because they can’t compete against the network effect of the master project ?

on their website’s roadmap section it says it is planned. I don’t know how much work has been done on that. mean while Mastodon’s userbase is dwindling, and it hasn’t been able to capitalize on the many waves of exodus and twitter controversies for over two years now

That’s an aucorrenct feature that has been shipped with MS Word for as long as I can remember.

MS Word is one of the most used software il the planet, I believe Microsoft has enough data on why the majority of people want that. what I don’t get is why software with smaller userbases think they know better (ie sometimes they do). Or why LibreOffice is so stubborn on keeping the menu bar default instead of the ribbon-bar, I am not inconvenienced by changing it once and for all, but I know many people who ould nope out at first sight and never give LO a second chance ever again .

I am more shocked by people supporting Biden’s action than the action itself

Mozilla keeps digging Firefox’s grave, and seeing how other opensource projects like Gimp struggle to even keep up with their own release schedule and very slow development rate. I fear we will be left with only chrome to use.

They removed russian maintainers that are associated with sanctioned companies

Your are voluntarily spreading fake news and you are getting upvoted for that !

They have removed every person they suspected to be russian or have a russian “.ru” domain name in their email from the maintainers list.

I wasn’t referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can’t chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.

Is he too big to Fall or what ? he seems unshakeable!

don’t be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, …etc

So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia’s FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.

Don’t believe anything advertised as unlimited , cause it isn’t, they always cover their asses in the fine prints in their TOS.
