I like NLNet model. NLNet isn't a government agency. NLNet is a nonprofit foundation that is responsible for distributing certain government grants, such as NGI Core Zero, which are themed for particular goals.

I definitely wouldn't want FOSS projects to apply directly to a government agency.

Oh boy, where do I start.

First of all, I do donate to multiple projects monthly.

Secondly, why should I (a tech enthusiast) foot the bill for software that benefits all of society?

Thirdly, an organization like NLNet is much more equipped to determine value to the European Union of funding an open source project, than a random European tech enthusiast is.

Lastly, it's pretty amazing what NLNet does with its VERY limited funding. NGI Zero Core, for example, is $11 million euro over 3 years. With that they fund a huge number of open source projects.

OSTIF scope is really narrow. It's mainly for patching security related bugs/vulnerabilities in existing large projects. And AFAIK it has a significantly smaller source of funding, relying on corporate donations.

It's not comparable to the projects that NLNet funds.

A few weeks ago a wrote in to my Senator on the complete lack of government funding for independent engineers/small projects building FOSS (USA).

NLNet in the EU is awesome. We really should have something like the NLNet in the USA.

Isn't that essentially Capacitor?

They still work on iPadOS

Sigh. This is a huge headache for me.

- Installing a PWA from Firefox browser adds to home screen with Firefox engine

I'm not afraid of "losing" in a crash. I just don't want to have my retinas blasted to shit every time I drive at night by trucks hauling their drivers' insecure masulinity.

Meh. I live in Wisconsin. It's fine.

> Our modeling finds that even if Focus incentivizes 800,000 heat pumps with electric resistance backup (10 times the number of heat pumps as it did furnaces in the past four years), the state will still be able to meet its electricity demand with currently operating power plants, even on the coldest days. Depending on the efficiency of the heat pump, in-state winter generation capacity would still exceed peak demand by 1,400–4,300 MW on the coldest day.

I wish we'd see more passive aggressive activism, for example, HN switching their logo (y18.svg) for y18.jxl

> It ensured that all browsers have full support for P3 color, seven years after it started shipping.

Not really true. Firefox still clamps all colors to sRGB before sending color to device. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1626624#c16

Cloudflare forces you to use their dns. You can’t use route 53, for example. Which is shitty with domain transfer cool off periods.

Cloudflare registrar is poor recommendation because you are forced to use Cloudflare dns.

I learned this the hard way when I had to use route 53 dns and had to wait 60 days to transfer.

I don’t know how this is allowed, registrars should be required to let you set custom dns.

There's a good chapter on blame that you should read in this book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/There-Are-No-Accident...

React Forget is going to be huge. If I had to bet, it'll be released in a beta at react conf in may.

How does a car have a "clean title" (seen from video) if it's stolen?

WTF? CAs should be mandated to have an automated, public form/API where you can submit a private key to have it revoked.

Lets encrypt has this. https://letsencrypt.org/docs/revoking/#using-the-certificate...

Lemmy does.

The Internet Is Full of Registration Popup Dogshit

eh. To a certain extent you should compare based on distance traveled, maybe. But total miles driven in the USA are quite high compared to other countries. Lots of driving simply doesn't need to happen, but occurs because we induce it by the way we design the places where we build.

I don't really care how safe driving is per mile, I care if I'm going to be dead at the end of the year.

There's a lot of people commenting in this thread that would benefit from reading this book...

Every time I've used webp, I've been disappointed. And when I'm disappointed, I try jxl for giggles and find much better photo quality (especially fine gradients), at a much better file size.

Let's cut our losses, ditch webp and move to jxl.

You should read this book.

> This is the best way to circumvent the politics and corruption.

Maybe in terms of personal responsibility, but definitely not from a societal point of view... It would distort the market by having more expensive baby food tested more often (the people buying more expensive baby food would have the money and the time to do more testing)
