cultural reviewer and dabbler in stylistic premonitions
there is a thread about the moderation of this thread here.
Thanks for editing, but I deleted your comment anyway because it was still just recommending something that is not open source.
fyi there is a thread here discussing the moderation of this thread.
i bet you’re going to love to hate this wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome_painting 😂
because it’s stupid.
you were bamboozled
presumably you find value in some things that some other people think are stupid too; it’s OK

The good news is that (sometime last year, long after you posted this) futo finally agreed to stop calling their license “open source”; unfortunately there are still some vocal fans of theirs arguing in various forums that it is.
Futo is not open source, as they (now, finally) even admit themselves: https://www.futo.org/about/futo-statement-on-opensource/
See also https://opensource.org/osd and https://opensource.org/authority and compare it to Futo’s licenses; there are (at least) three reasons it doesn’t qualify, can you spot them all? (rhetorical question; don’t @ me)
I am locking this thread to avoid needing to remove misinformation and advocacy from Futo fans who think they should be allowed to redefine a term which there has been consensus about the definition of since before they were born.
even if it’s from its own repository, it is still on F-droid
There is nothing to stop anyone from running their own f-droid repo and distributing non-free software through it, which is what futo is doing.
seems open source enough
This is the definition. Compare it with Futo’s license; it fails to meet both the Open Source Definition and Free Software Definition in several ways. After insisting they could redefine the term for a while (despite the definition’s wide acceptance) and inspiring some of their very vocal fans to promulgate their dishonest argument on their behalf, Futo themselves finally came around and agreed to stop calling their software open source.
you just can’t understand what open-source means
FYI, nearly everyone (including Futo themselves), except for some Futo fans like yourself who haven’t gotten the memo, agrees that this is the definition of “open source” (and Futo’s license obviously does not qualify).
Other comments in this thread suggesting that Futo keyboard is open source have been deleted as offtopic.

Am I still missing something? This is posted on the instance of .world, wtf are we talking about .ml and politics for? If your instance filters your comments on other instances than that’s concerning and something I didn’t know.
Yes, something you’re missing is that it was your (our) instance which removed the word from your comment. I believe the slur filters are effectively a combination of the configured filters on the writer’s instance, the reader’s instance, and the community’s instance.
If you view this thread from other other users’ instances (via the link on their comments in the web view), you will see that the word which was removed from your comment is not removed from comments by users on some other instances (despite that it is also removed from their comments when viewed from our instance). HTH.
(imo false positives from the slur filter are annoying, but so are the people casually using slurs who are prevented from doing so by it; it’s a tradeoff i don’t feel strongly about. although i do think it would be much better if the writer-side version of it could notify users of the impending bowdlerization prior to posting.)
It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.
In the Mercator projection it appears to have about the same area as Africa, while in reality it is about a 14th of it. But, I wouldn’t say that “isn’t that large”: if Greenland was independent it would be (and Denmark is, because of it) the 12th largest country in the world.
I used that link to look up the source. It wasn’t here so I posted it here. I do the same with archive links.
Do you post MBFC links on articles from outlets they classify as “unbiased” too, or just the “biased” ones?
As others have pointed out many times before, the entirely flawed premise behind MBFC is that centrism correlates with credibility and/or factualness.
I didn’t report this and don’t have a problem with it.
cool 👍
In general, the fact that they don’t disclose the country they operate out of is problematic
Who doesn’t disclose where People Dispatch operates out of? MBFC? Yeah, they don’t, because they’re lazy hacks who’s job it is to impugn the reputation of anyone doing any journalism that isn’t in service of the status quo.
since we can’t know if they’re operating from a place where telling the truth is illegal.
A couple minutes of research shows that (although their contributors are all over the world) their legal entity People’s Dispatch Ltd. is registered in New York. So, the way things are headed, I guess actually you might be on to something here soon 😬
Edit: I should also say that it’s important they’ve never failed a fact check. I don’t really care about them having editorial bias as long as we know what it is.
The notion that any outlet could have no bias in what they decide is and isn’t worthy of reporting on, especially the people MBFC says are unbiased, is ridiculous. And it’s usually not difficult to see what an outlet’s bias is without relying on a 3rd party using their own bias to classify someone else’s.
Wow, a lot of people emotionally disagree with that quote. You can tell because 30+ down voted and you maybe see 1 of them commenting to take a stance.
Cowards who are afraid of reality deserve no respect.
Maybe… it got all those downvotes because it was a ridiculous thing to post in reply to an article which is simply reporting facts without any bias whatsoever, and posting that comment here in this context appears to be an attempt at discrediting Petro (who is, in fact… a leftist 😱 …watch out) in response to his standing up to to Trump?
And maybe all those other people downvoting it didn’t bother replying because I had already posted my reply (which adequately pointed out the absurdity of it) right after the comment was posted? 🤔
I’m curious, do you think there is some bias in this article? What is it?
In case you doubt their translation, you can find the original source of the statement by Petro here.
Is there some other source, which you consider less biased, which has published an English-language translation of his response to Trump?
Or, would you consider any reporting at all of this head of state’s response to be intrinsically biased?
In finder you cannot cut files
I thought you could when I last used it, back when it was called Mac OS X, so I just searched and TIL they removed cmd-X for files in 2015, but, you actually can still cut files; it’s just another hidden keyboard shortcut now: after you copy a file with cmd-C you can retroactively make it a cut when pasting by typing cmd-option-V instead of cmd-V. Intuitive, no?
maybe showing him this would help?
