US, a risk for open source repos? (feddit.org)
 

Most open source projects are important alternatives to escape pilitical and commercial control/limitations/censorship existant in commercial products, driven by commercial interests. With the current situation all US-based companies are even more subject to political pressure.

An embargo by the US towards any country/entity would mean US companies have to shut down their services for that entity.

As many open source projects seem to be hosted on github (M$), could they be blocked nearly instantly? Thus giving the pumpkin the power to sabotage alternatives to US controlled tools?

(Hope I‘m not in the wrong community to bring this up. Hints to better suited places are welcome.)

What is a good text for the donation dialog in Lemmy? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Dewege@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From my POV not only „free of adds and tracking“ are important to underline. Also „free of political and commercial pressure“ is key, from my POV this is the most important, especially in the current political climate. I know this is not directly a reason why donations are needed, like the others are. But for someone to decide about a donation this is a very important reason to throw money in.

Thanks for the great app. I‘m having trouble though (ipad with ios 16.7.10, can not go higher) with the video player: clicked a link to a youtube content. Player is full screen, but I find no way to go back to the post. Have to quit the app and restart it.
