Great move.
Adobe already has a product identical to Figma called XD, it would be entirely ridiculous to let them further monopolize the digital design space buying the most popular competitor
Damn, who took a dump in your coffee this morning?
What happened to gitea? Been hearing more about Forgejo recently but haven't checked it out yet
international law known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), through which private corporations are able to sue governments that implement legislation that constrains their profits.
Why does this even exist ☹️
If, say, a government attempted to force an international fossil fuel company to clean up after an oil spill, or introduced measures to disincentivize smoking, those governments could be sued
Próspera launched an $11 billion ISDS case against the government of Honduras, claiming that its repeal of the ZEDE laws violated the terms of existing international treaties. That amount, $11 billion, represents about two-thirds of the government’s annual budget.
Wow. To be honest, after reading the rest of the article I can see why guillotines are so appealing.
Truly a sad state of things when a billionaire has the freedom to legally bully goverments smaller than them. This will just end up hurting the country IMO, as the govt's legal money needs to be pulled from somewhere
IMO this is pretty shortsighted and going to affect all the wrong people, skimasks and balaclavas are a thing!

Practically you are the community now lol 😂 surprised I didn't realise almost all the posts here were made by one person.
Thank you for your service!
Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Australia and China are absolutely massive, wow. They look deceptively small on most maps 🤯
It prevents apps from opening links in your browser directly, since they have to go through URLCheck first. Let's say you click a link in your email, and instead it opens a "google.com/url?q=https://amazon.com" or a "safelinks.outlook.com/?url=..." instead of just taking you to Amazon.com. URLCheck will get rid of the unnecessary redirection and allow you to go directly to the site.
Adding onto that, my pet peeve with email links is them showing you a link that says Amazon.com, but then you go to click the link it opens a bunch of email tracking links before finally taking you to Amazon.com. With URLCheck you can actually stop these links from opening, and go to the website directly in the browser yourself.
If you're familiar with that issue that popped up regarding ".zip" domain names, and how they can be engineered to look like an official URL, this is a non issue as you'll get a warning if any link contains malicious unicode characters that could be mistaken for something else
Also, if you have multiple apps that can handle a link (maybe different youtube apps like libretube, newpipe, grayjay), you can pick which one to open after clicking a link. Android does have a stock app picker, but it's very easy to mistakenly set an app as default.
Android apps can also track what apps triggered them to open - URLCheck can mask this, and even set some advanced flags for how the link handler app should be opened.
To be honest after using it for a while, I really wish there was something similar available for desktop
The sense of entitlement in some of the replies on that post are absolutely awful
As for me personally, I want to love Wayland. It has great performance on ALL my devices, (except one with a nvidia GPU) and is super smooth compared to X11!
However... the secure aspect of Wayland makes it very difficult, if not impossible to easily get a remote desktop going. Wayvnc doesn't support the most popular desktop environments depending on how Wayland was compiled, and the built-in desktop sharing on distros that have switched over to Wayland often require very specific Linux-only VNC and RDP clients, otherwise you run into odd errors.
I really hope the desktop sharing situation improves because it's a pretty big showstopper for me. On X11 you just install & run x11vnc from a remote SSH session and you have immediate session access with VNC from Linux, Android, and Windows. If you want lockscreen access too then you run as root and provide the greeter's Xauth credentials. But Wayland's not so simple sadly AFAICT...
Waypipe is something I've found out about recently though, so need to check that out and see how well it works at the moment. If anyone has any helpful info or pointers please share, I'm completely new to Wayland and would appreciate it!
