I think “the Fediverse” is generally understood to refer to ActivityPub-based projects, or even more narrowly, “things that can be seen from Mastodon”. At least I understood it as such, even if that’s not technically correct.

Especially if it’s just another alpha release. They could have 20 more of those, for all I know.

Yes: https://chat.mozilla.org

I think you might be overestimating how much code is contributed by unpaid volunteers…

Ah, gotcha.

Gnome itself is actually not bad. It has a full screen menu and arrangeable application icons and folders, but I cannot group them the way I want, let alone resize them.

I don’t think resizing is an option, but isn’t it possible to drag one app’s icon on top of another app’s icon to create a group?

Who’d have thought!

Funny how people were interpreting the survey itself as a way to pretend that everybody wanted AI even when they didn’t - yet somehow it was possible that it didn’t end up in the top 10 😅

(Also understandably, this won’t be 1:1 the roadmap, for the caveats they mentioned in the post. Still helpful!)

As expected, nobody cares about “reader mode”.

Whaaat? Reader mode is fantastic! I feel like everyone who knows about it, loves it, it’s just that few people know about it.

Edit: ah, it’s top 10, so actually one of the most popular features.

No that was a different poll. This one asked “do you want ‘enhanced privacy’ or a chatbot in the sidebar” which, of course, is a false dichotomy.

Presumably this one’s less work, so even with them being worked on at the same time, no real reason to hold back the one that’s done sooner. But apparently you can try out tab groups already: https://lemmy.ml/post/20000489

For the use cases you describe actually sound right on the mark? If you’re viewing a page and you want something summarised on there, it would be nice to not have to leave that page, but to stay in its context, for example. If you’re looking at the specs of a particular phone, ditto.

(I don’t expect I’ll use this feature myself, but if I did, it sounds like I’d use it in that way. Luckily, I can just choose not to use it without any downsides.)

There’s also the fact that it’s a false dichotomy.

Now there’s a meme I haven’t seen in a while.

And where did you find that they will do that?

You tell me how it will result in it happening. Who even has the power to force people to learn Rust?

Then just not use it? You could even ask for a refund.

That person in the audience was really grinding my gears. Just let the folks you’re talking to answer you; no need to keep going on your diatribe when it’s based on a false assumption and waste the whole room’s time.

This sounds exactly like the type of nontechnical nonsense they’re complaining about: attacking a strawman (“they’re trying to prevent people from refactoring C code and making them rewrite everything in the current fancy language”) even after explicitly calling out that that was not going to happen (“and to reiterate, no one is trying force anyone else to learn Rust nor prevent refactorings of C code”).

It’s also not clear how long they’d be able to keep that up anyway, given… https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/28/brave-lays-off-27-employees/
