Did you update your public IP address for your domain after changing ISPs?

Its anathema to the whole concept of the fediverse that one person - a lemmy dev - gets to decide something so important.

I should have clarified that it's 2 devs, Nutomic & Dessalines.

I am unsure if their political views have any affect on being the ones wanting to decide on important things like that. I know that they are both openly communist, and they both have Fidel Castro as their profile picture.

Perhaps the fediverse will get big enough that third-party developers will step in to fix this.

Unless they can convince the devs to integrate, I believe the third-party developers would have to fork the project and convince Lemmy instances to switch to their fork. From there, the third-party developers might change the name from Lemmy to something else.

I also wonder if Mastodon could be more integrated with Lemmy would that improve things.

This won't happen. The Lemmy dev does not want Mastodon to be integrated into Lemmy. They say that plenty of other fediverse software already has this implemented, and that Lemmy doesn't need to reinvent what other software does.

It takes a lot of work to make a custom ROM and maintain it. Each one has a maintainer.

XDA is a great place to find Custom ROMs for many phones, including unofficial LineageOS ROMs that will/might become official after it's stable.

For example, the OnePlus 11:

I live in an "At Will" State in the US, which means I can be fired at any time. Depending on what is going on, or how the company works (like if HR sucks), I'd rather not fight back hard.

I was stuck with an absolute horrible supervisor in my last job, and it took me 1.5 years of applying to jobs to finally get out of there. It isn't easy to just get a job.

I can't imagine not having a job for 1.5 years and paying $1500/mo for my 1 bedroom and then also other bills such as utilities + car stuff + food + etc.

If you want a comparison for at my current company:

Insurance through what my union negotiated with my company is about $90/mo for dental/vision/medical. $200 annual deductible on medical.

Insurance from my company if I had a non-union position here is $300-400/mo. $1000 annual deductible on medical

This is for a single person btw.

Do those have good traffic data? Because some people still need that.

Because some people like using FOSS apps. And don't want all the trackers from the YouTube app.

Newpipe is a website scrapper. It is fully open source as well. It does not have Chromecast support.

Revanced is a patcher for the official YouTube app, which is why it has chromecast support

Not sure if he would’ve merged it, my knowledge of the kernel development process is a bit lacking - but I thought all the various subsystems of the kernel had their own maintainers who handled merging patches.

Per this:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/2.Process.html#how-patches-get-into-the-kernel

There is exactly one person who can merge patches into the mainline kernel repository: Linus Torvalds.

When the merge window opens, top-level maintainers will ask Linus to "pull" the patches they have selected for merging from their repositories. If Linus agrees, the stream of patches will flow up into his repository, becoming part of the mainline kernel.

While there are top level maintainers for the subsystems, it looks like Linus is the only one who can merge them into the mainline kernel.

I don't understand what you're talking about. An open source app with a subscription service does not make it a proprietary app.

There are plenty of open source services/apps that costs money. Open source ≠ Free (as in money)

In the link, the dev even said:

Subscription using Patreon will also be available, but you can only download it on GitHub. It will not contain any Google Play services.

They haven't mentioned anything about the app being closed source. Please do not spread misinformation.

They said "Linus", not "Linux".

I was assuming they thought Linus Torvalds was the one working on merging this.
