Free software or open source? A small inspection. (lemmy.ml)
 

Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.

When we talk about free software, we point to transparency, studyability, tinkerability and sharability. The openness to allow ourselves to use our tools with freedom.

However, I do not think we should use the term open source. The reason for my distancing of the word source is because the word makes us think about development instead of the end user. Because if we want these kinds of software to appeal to the masses, we the word to emphasize that it is meant for them. Instead, I would use the term open software, open tool or open machine.

I don't know why but it pissed me off so much that they called gimp "freeware" in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I like to swap out "ism" with "frame". In this case broism becomes broframe.

Learn esperanto to fight english cultural dominance in c/libre_culture@lemmy.ml
[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

That is false. Esperanto is eurocentric. Thats true. But the reason it is so easy to learn is not because it is a merge of european languages. Rather it is because it is consistent and its many elements which by design makes the language easy to learn.

  • All present tense words ends in -as, all subjectives ends with -o.
  • The letters are always pronounced the same.
  • The morpheme 'mal' is used a lot which creates the antonym of a word. Varma and malvarma means respectively warm and cold. Sana and malsana means respectively healthy and sick.
  • Esperanto gives the speaker the -n suffix which is marking the direct object. In essence, this grants more flexibility to switch around on sentences to better fit how you want to speak the language.

In contrast, english is consistently inconsistent and thus makes it very hard to learn. The pronounciation changes depending on the words. The morphemes are inconsistent.

Learn esperanto to fight english cultural dominance (lemmy.ml)
 

English is burdened with a culture that emphasize empirialism, capitalism, individualism and so on. A culture that ignores climate catostraphy, global inequality and brings disproportionate attention to countries with english as national language. Additionally english is the language of Trump, Boris Johnson, Margareth Thatcher and George Bush jr.. Protest the english language by embracing esperanto.

Break language segregation! Today, the world is segregated by language. It is very resource heavy to learn a new ethnic language.

Esperanto is like other constructed languages made to be easy to learn through consistent grammer, phonetics and morphemes. You know how to pronounce a sentence. You can determine the type of word by looking at the last letter. Even if you havent seen a particular word before, the chances are that you can predict its meaning if you know the morphemes. It is estimated that it requires a tenth in time investment to learn esperanto compares to ethnic languages.

The world language is political and it enables english imperialism.

Look up your local esperanto group. Learn it. Talk about it. With collegues, friends, acquantances and family. Engage your local community. Influence!

Some useful resources: Dictionary https://lernu.net/vortaro ActivityPub https://esperanto.masto.host Nice esperanto course: Kurso de Esperanto

How to monitor memory usage on android? (lemmy.ml)
 

I experience that my memory is used up on my android phone, but I dont understand what drains the memory.

I only found AnotherMonitor on fdroid, but it doesnt appear to show which app is consuming memory. Only total consumption.

Are there any good apps or solutions for this? Or at least as autonomous slash private as possible.

What are your thoughts on green/private cryptos? (lemmy.ml)
 

Im interested in cryptos, because it could serve as a foundation for an internet funded by people and communities. A crypto that protects people's privacy and has a low energy cost.

But is this enough to make it ethical? Are there other aspects to take into concideration? Or is ethical cryptos possible?

In particular Im looking into Mobilecoin which Signal has integrated into their app.

Stop it. Just stop.

Why you call it RSS when you could simply have called it syndication? Why call it CEO when you could have called it top chief. You are making your language harder to understand for no good reason. Why call it TLDR when you can call it summary. Like what the fuck...

Me personally, I've realized how much my perception of socialist countries has been warped by capitalist propaganda and I'm reluctant about believing anything that western media says about these countries.

An addon I'd like to see (lemmy.ml)
 

Tabs often gets very cluttered. But I know which tabs that I always want to stay open. Email, social media, RSS feed, messenging. In short navigation tabs where you are only in the home screen.

So when you press a link in the management tab, it is opened in the content window. Or something along those lines. Whaddaya think?
